In VBA, CLng(Now) will return the integer portion of a date CLng(Now) returns 41928, CDate(41928) then returns 10/16/2014. Is there something equivalent in SQL Server that will allow me to convert an integer value to a date?
In short, how can I convert a 100 year date to Gregorian (any format)?
Working on a new database where the Date and Time are stored in a Date Time Field.
Then working on an OLDER database file within the same SQL Database contains these 2 items as integers:
transDate = "71615" (July 16, 2015)
transTime = "12345" (01:23:45 AM)
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
* That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.
I've got a column that holds a time value in Integer form as a number from midnight (IE military time) with no leading 0s or colons.
0 = 00:00
30 = 00:30
...
1700 = 1700 etc...
How can I convert this to a real time field?
Hi,
I have checked the forums but couldnt find exact term.
I have written tsql statement but I dont know how to use that in SSIS
this is a update statement in oledb command component...
I wanna get integer like YYYYMMDD ( 20080325)
UPDATE [dbo].[d_cust] SET [per_xxx] = ? ,
[per_valid]=(select cast(CONVERT(varchar ,DATEADD(dd,-1,getdate()),112 )as int))
My source database stores dates as integers (e.g. 20070101). I need to convert to a "real" date for my target system.
I'm guessing I need to create a derived column - could someone help me out with the appropriate expression?
Thanks,
JG
What actually happens when I convert date to float? Select convert(float,getdate(),112)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have define two variable of Datetime type @Sdate and @Edate.
1. @Sdate = DATEADD ("DD", -5, GETDATE())
2. @Edate = GETDATE()
3. Using Forloopcontainer for pulling the data into batches
( @sdate = dateadd ( "HH" , 1, @sdate))
Now since i am using getdate() to define @Sdate. my variable gets data as ( 2014/12/08 11:43:00AM)
Converting GETDATE( 2014/12/08 11:43:00AM) to only date 2014/12/08 00:00:00AM.
I tired using DT_WSTR which works fine (converting datetime int String).
Problem occurs when i am going through For Loop container . Since i have used assignment of @Sdate is says its not allowed.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi folks,
I'm trying to import data from a text file (UnicodeData.txt) into
an SQL table. Some of the fields are unicode values (16 bits)
expressed as four hexidecimal digits. I've succeeded in importing
the data as character strings, but I have not found a way to convert
them into numbers. (They could be stored as int or nchar.)
I've tried convert(binary/int/whatever, string); E.g.
select convert(int, '0x1111') from import_unicode
gives the error
Syntax error converting the varchar value '0x1111' to a column of data type int.
I could write code to strip off one character at a time, convert the
hex digit to a decimal value, shift left, etc., but I find it hard
to believe that's the best way.
Any help is appreciated. Please email answer to lars_huttar@sil.org
as I don't read this board.

SET@SQLQuery=@SQLQuery+'ANDMEMBER_SPAN.YMDEFF>='''''+CAST(@AsOfDateASVARCHAR)+''''''+@NewLineChar;
but that put it in the format of...
AND
MEMBER_SPAN.YMDEFF<=''2015-04-01''

Which is close...I think I just need to lose the "-"

If I have the number 1, is there a built in function to convert that to sunday or should one just write a function to do just that?

I want to convert a string into an interger so that my parameter can get one value, and have a seperate matrix list the value before the value selected.
My parameter is year. The user picks the year. And i want the crashcounts for the year displayed in the matrix. Then i have another matrix with a dataset similiar. I want this seperate Matrix/Dataset to display the previous year.
SO if the user selects 2004 from the dropdown. 2004 is displayed in the first matrix, and 2003 is displayed in the second matrix. The year attribute is in string format, and i cant change it in the cube. So i was told it could be converted in reporting services. with this
=CStr(CInt(Parameters!CrashStatisticalYear.Value)-1)
Question is, where do i put this...and how come when i put it in the parameters expression for the 2nd matrix, i get an error datatype messege? HELP !
I have imported a text file with various data into sql table. all these values have been imported as nvarchar. I need to convert these into Integer. the format of the values is 10length i.e. 0000000.00.
example of data:
0001028.99 - needs to be shown as 1028.99
222.00 - needs to be shown as 222.00
0000190.89 - needs to be shown as 190.89
2708.99 - needs to be shown as 2708.99
00000-50.99 - needs to be shown as -50.99
-109.79 - needs to be shown as -109.70
as you can see some of the values have leading zeros and some don't.
i have tried converting from nvarchar to int and i get the error cannot convert nvarchar to int, i believe it may be because the data contains negative values as well as positive values.
Is there a split function or position function which i can use to extract the data? or any other methods which i can use would be really helpful.
Thanks
I need to convert a column of data from alpha numeric to integer.
I am only querying the tables i.e. i don't have access to actually change the data tables themselves.
CAST or CONVERT throws up an error. Are there any other commands i can use at the query stage?
The data I need to convert is always actually a number. i.e. even though it is recognised as alpha numeric, the figure is a number.
I just need it to be converted to an integer so i can SUM it etc.
Iwant to convert the datetime to the integer value as shown within the brackets.

Hi,
I am querying DB2 from SSRS. I get an interger back that represents a time like this: HHMMSS
(The data type in DB2 is an integer.) I would like to make this representation of the time display a little more friendly. Does anyone have a good idea on how I can change the query or SSRS format to display semi-colons to break up the hours, minutes and seconds? Also, the other issue is that since I don't get leading zeros back....they probably need to be added to this value if the value is not a full 6 characters.
I have a table of zip codes, some with Canadian zips. I'd like to takea zip code and search for nearby zips.

I get this error:Syntax error converting the varchar value '53151 1' to a column of datatype int.Is there a SQL query that can exclude if no cast can be made to anInteger?Thanks!Anton

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a query to run a report where the results has a column named “Due Date” which holds a date value based on the project submission date.Now, I need to add 4 columns named, “45 Days Expectant”, “30 Days Overdue”, “60 Days Overdue” and “90 Days Overdue”.I need to do a calculation based on the “Due Date” and “System (I mean default computer date) Date” that if “System Date” is 45 days+ to “Due Date” than put “Yes” in “45 Days Expectant” row.
Also, if “Due Date” is less than or equal to system date by 30 days, put “Yes” in “30 Days Overdue” and same for the 60 and 90 days.how to write this Case Statement? I have some answers how to do it in SSRS (Report Designer) but I want to get the results using T-SQl.
I'm writing a view to check record counts in a table that has numerous datasets and therefore various "Activity Dates". Is it possible as part of the SQL statement to have a CASE statement for example so that it can identify the field to use as the activity date?
The field to use is being identified using a seperate table so at the moment I have CASE WHEN FieldToUse = '2' THEN MapCol ELSE '[Activity_Date]' END, where FieldToUse = '2' identifies the date field to use and the MapCol data is the field name to be used as the activity date.
Is this even possible?
I'm trying to get the UTC date from an integer. See my SQL below:
Declare @unix_date bigint
Set @unix_date = 3499288964
SELECT dateadd(day, @unix_date/(86400), dateadd(second, @unix_date
% (86400), '19700101'))
It returns '2080-11-20 00:42:44.000'. This is dead on except for the year (which should be 2014). I was thinking maybe my bigint value of 3499288964 was milliseconds or microseconds so I adjusted the seconds value (86400) in the select statement to reflect milliseconds (86400000) with no success and microseconds (86400000000) with no success as both of those gave incorrect results. Closest I got was with the seconds (86400) which of course returns the incorrect year.
