SQL Server 2008 :: Converting SAS Dates In A Float Format To Datetime Values
Mar 17, 2015
I am importing a couple SAS datasets to SQL Server 2008 for a project. The dates are in a float format, they show up as DT_R8 in SSIS. How can I convert these values to SQL server datetime? I have tried dozens of methods I found on-line with no success, I keep getting 'Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.' errors.
I have a date field stored in a character type field ( this field is a spare one in an ERP package )I am trying to validate and convert to a date format using the following;
[code="CASE WHEN isdate( arc.UserField1 )= 1 then CAST( arc.UserField1 as DateTime ) ELSE CAST( '01/01/1900' as Datetime ) END"] [/code]
The results are ;
Date Result 29/09/08 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000 09/06/15 2015-09-06 00:00:00.000 18/03/13 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000 09/10/14 2014-09-10 00:00:00.000
as you can see - the date 29/09/08 is a valid UK date format - however it fails the validation. 09/06/15 converts to 6th September 2015 ( mm/dd/yy ) format...What do I need to do to force this to identify as dd/mm/yy date format ?
I need to migrate from a DB with a column containing dates as varchar to a new DB which will have a column with the same content as the source DB but in datetime format.
I have tried to use the cast function but i always get a message saying that the conversion result in an out of range error.
Hi, I have a function that generates a range of DateTimes, which I then cast to SqlDateTime to compare with SqlDateTime values in a database. The problem is my converted DateTimes come out in this type of format "6/2/2006 12:00:00 AM" wheras my SqlDateTimes in the database are in this format "2006-01-18T00:00:00.0000000-12:00" Any ideas how I can convert the DateTime values to SqlDateTime correctly so that I can compare them? As I said I tried creating a new SqlDateTime object with the DateTime value ie DateTime dt = new DateTime(""); SqlDateTime sdt = new SqlDateTime(dt); But that doesn't work correctly, its still not in the format that is in the database.
I need help with conversion type. I'm using Visual Basic 6.0 as my frontend and SQL Server 2000 as my backend. There has been existing data in the database. I would like to know how to convert an integer to datetime format. For example:
This is the actual value from the database.
1087912290 1087912327
I'd like to know how to convert it datetime format.
I have a datetime field in my table. I call that field with a different software & it comes out in an unexpected format.
My db table stores it in unix format: 2013-08-12 09:29:00.000
But the software pulls it as: 8/12/2013 9:29:00 AM
I know it's possible, but I don't know how. How do I explicitly call it (in SQL) as a unix timestamp. Or how do I convert to a unix timestamp from the available data above?
I am populating oracle source in Sql Server Destination. after few rows it fails it displays this error:
[OLE DB Destination [16]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Invalid date format".
I used this script component using the following code in between the adapters, However after 9,500 rows it failed again giving the same above error:
To convert Oracle timestamp to Sql Server timestamp
If Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST_IsNull = False Then
If IsDate(DateSerial(Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Year, Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Month, Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Day)) Then
dt = Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST
Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUSTD = dt
End If
End If
I don't know if my code is right . Please inform, how i can achieve this.
Am converting varchar field to float and summing using group by and next inserting to varchar field(table).
while inserting float value it is converting to exponential ex:1.04177e+006 but if i execute only select statment actual float value will get display ex:1041765.726
My question is why it is converting while inserting ? and how to avoid it.
Hi, I'm inserting a datetime values into sql server 2000 from c#
SQL server table details Table nameate_test columnname datatype No int date_t DateTime
C# coding SqlConnection connectionToDatabase = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=testdb;Integrated Security=SSPI"); connectionToDatabase.Open(); DataTable dt1 = new DataTable(); dt1.Columns.Add("no",typeof(System.Int16)); dt1.Columns.Add("date_t", typeof(System.DateTime)); DataRow dr = dt1.NewRow(); dr["no"] = 1; dr["date_t"] = DateTime.Now; dt1.Rows.Add(dr); for(int i=0;i<dt1.Rows.Count;i++) { string str=dt1.Rows["no"].ToString(); DateTime dt=(DateTime)dt1.Rows["date_t"]; string insertQuery = "insert into date_test values(" + str + ",'" + dt + "')"; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(insertQuery, connectionToDatabase); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); MessageBox.Show("saved"); } When I run the above code, data is inserted into the table The value in the date_t column is 2007-07-09 22:10:11 000.The milliseconds value is always 000 only.I need the millisecond values also in date_t column. Is there any conversion needed for millisecond values?
I'm using c# 2.0. I have a datareader that reads an invoice line item from a table in my SQL Server database. The UnitPrice field is a Money field in SQL server. At the same time I have an invoice class in my application that has a UnitPrice property which is a float. How do I convert the SQLMoney to a float using my datareader? Right now I have: cm.CommandText = "SELECT ItemID, Quantity, UnitPrice, Discount FROM tblInvoiceLineItems"; using (SqlDataReader dr = cm.ExecuteReader()) { while (dr.Read()) { LineItem li = new LineItem(); li.UnitPrice = (float)(double)dr.GetFloat(3); // cast error here. lineItems.Add(li); } }
I have a problem converting a float filed into nvarchar. select cast(sold as varchar(50)) where sold=431597.15 results in 431597 and is ignoring always my decimals. Do you have any idea how to fix this? ty
Hello all,I need to return back to TSQL two numeric values from anExtended Stored Procedure developed in C. As result my Cdll program produces two float values, the TSQL side expectsto have exactly: numeric(10, 5) and numeric.Given that the structure to fill-up is DBNUMERIC definedas:typedef struct dbnumeric // Numeric (and decimal){BYTE precision; // PrecisionBYTE scale; // ScaleBYTE sign; // 1 = Positive, 0 = NegativeBYTE val[MAXNUMERICLEN]; // Padded little endian value} DBNUMERIC;I do not have any clue how to convert the float C datatypeto DBNUMERIC, specifically how to convert the float to anarray of bytes "BYTE val[MAXNUMERICLEN]".Thanks in advance,Best Regards,Giovanni
I need to convert values in a float data type field to that of datetime. The float data type field currently contains values such as 20060927,20060928, etc. Any suggestions?

I have created a stored procedure that contain this field (below) inorder to meet certain criteria. But my problem is when I try to runthe stored procedure I encounter an error "Error converting data typevarchar to float".CASE Final WHEN 0 THEN '--' ELSE Final END AS FinalGradeThe Final field is a float data type.Could anyone teach me how to fix this problem?
For example, I have a float datatype field with a value of .2501 I select using ROUND(Field,3) and get .25 as a result, but what I need to display is .250 (three decimal places.) How can this be done? Thanks, Paul
In the following code I want to compare 2 values: AccessVal and SQLVal. The values are stored as nvarchars, so I'm isolating the numeric values in a subquery. Notice I'm only selecting 1 row. The commented line, where I compare the values, is throwing the error.
SELECT QA_AutoID, AccessVal, SQLVal ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) as AccessFloat ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) as SQLFloat FROM QA WHERE QA_AutoID in ( SELECT TOP 1 QA_AutoID FROM QA WHERE ISNUMERIC(SQLVal) = 1 AND ISNUMERIC(AccessVal) = 1 ) --AND ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) <> ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) ORDER BY ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) DESC ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) DESC
Here is the output with the comparison commented out...
Here's what I get with the comparison line activated:
I've tried converting to numeric, int and bigint instead of float. I've tried CAST instead of CONVERT. Nothing works.
I am using a custom sql query to import data into Tableau. Problem is I need to change the varchar column data in SQL currently returning 18/01/2014 08:35:13 as a format into the date format 05/21/2014 3:55:51 PM before I can use it.
I have a column name DateofRecord and it is nvarchar type..all the values in this column are like this
"04/24/2013' "05/01/2014"...etc...
My requirement is to convert this column into Datetime ?
I tried so many ways using cast and convert functions like cast(dateofrecord,datetime) or like convert(datetime,replace(DateofRecord,'"','''')) ..it didnt worked..
How to show the dates in between a range. Its hard for me to explain so I have ddl with the original results and then ddl of how I would like the desired outcome.
On the side I have a visit ID I need to show each day logged for each ID. Sometime the Start and End are a single day and sometimes they are a range. I need a row for each date.
I am trying to generate dates for a roster dynamically in a stored procedure. If my start date is '01/01/2015', end date is '12/31/2015', I should generate dates from '01/01/2015' adding 7 days.
The output comes like this:
01/01/2015 01/08/2015 01/15/2015 . . . until end date
I do it through loop but just posting it here to know, if there is any other efficient way using CTEs or some sort of queries which can avoid loop in SP.
tblCustomers contains a CustomerID that is unique to each customer.
tblMachines contains a list of all machines with a MachineID that is unique to each machine. It also contains the CustomerID number.
tblServiceOrders contains a list of each time each customer was serviced. It contains the ServiceDate, CustomerID, and ServiceOrderNo. But it does not have any information on the machines.
tblMachinesServiced contains a list of each machine that was serviced for each service order. It contains the ServiceOrderNo and the MachineID number.
What I want is to be able to extract a list of machines that were not serviced between 2 dates. What I end up getting is a list of machines that were serviced outside of the date range I provide.
For instance, say machine A was serviced in 2013 and 2015 but not in 2014. And say machine B was serviced in all 3 years. When I try to extract my list of machines not serviced in 2014 I end up with a list that contains machine A-2013, A-2015, B-2013 & B-2015. But what I need is just machine A-2014, since that machine wasn’t serviced in 2014.
I’ve tried several different queries but here is an example:
SELECT tblMachines.MachineID,ServiceMachines.ServiceDate FROM tblMachines LEFT JOIN (SELECT MachineID, ServiceDate FROM tblServiceOrders, tblMachinesServiced WHERE tblServiceOrders.ServiceOrderNo=tblMachinesServiced.ServiceOrderNo ) ServicedMachines ON tblMachines.MachineID=ServicedMachines.MachineID WHERE YEAR(ServiceDate) != '2014'
I understand why it returns the records that it does, but I'm not sure how to get what I want, which is a list of machines not serviced in 2014.
I have a set of csv files and a set of Format Specification files for each of the csv files. I need to convert the csv files into another format of csv files as specified in the Format Specification files. All the columns of the input csv files do not have a mapping with the columns of the output csv files. How can I achieve this using SSIS ? This is an urgent requirement. Please reply asap. Thanks.
