The database for our software stores dates and times in clarion format. I'm trying to write some custom reports in T-SQL and I need to convert these dates but it's giving me a lot of trouble. How do I query the dates and times and have the results shown as a "regular" date/time? Below is what I have so far which is really the very beginnings of this report. Basically on the results/output I need the ClarionDate and ClarionTime to be shown as typical date/time columns. I did some research on my own but I'm having a hard time grasping this. I believe they have to be pulled into a temp table and then converted?
SELECT A1.DATEOFACCESS ClarionDate, A1.TIMEOFACCESS ClarionTime, A2.NAME Event
FROM dbo.History A1
JOIN dbo.SysEvents A2
ON A1.RSVD_Action = A2.RSVD_EVENTTYPE
Hi, Basically the above is a very common requirement, please comment on my solution which I've arrived at by searching through the web; -
In summary I have used 3 SSIS components these are "Flat File Source", "Derived Column" and "SQL Server Destination".
1) File Connections Manager Editor 1.1) Within File Connections Manager Editor; - Name the data type e.g. "INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC" and assign a type to the data type e.g. string[DT_STR]
1.2) Click on the Preview button to ensure the expected text is assigned to the expected data type.
2.4) Select "database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] " as Data Type.
2.5) Within the Mappings tab of the SQL Destination Editor have; - Input Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE and Destination Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE.
Please comment on the above, I will then pass on my suggestion to Microsoft.
fix the below SP which is having cursor output with an alternate logic which can make the SP work.(may be using temp table or any other option)
CREATE PROCEDURE Get_IDS /* * SSMA warning messages: * O2SS0356: Conversion from NUMBER datatype can cause data loss. */ @p_uid float(53), @return_value_argument varchar(8000) OUTPUT
Hello Everyone, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I'm creating a view in SQL Server 2005 to base a report on Crystal Reports XI. I've been trying to figure out how I can convert a date field in the format YYYYMMDD to MM/DD/YYYY. I'm not quite sure about the steps I need to take to accomplish this since I'm pretty new to this. The date is stored as an Int on the database, and I've tried converting it directly to the DATETIME data type like this: CONVERT(DATETIME, datefield,101) but I'm getting an error saying illegal data type conversion. Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it.
Hi Gurus, I need to convert this statement to sql server. SELECT to_date('24-08-2007 13:11:12','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),to_date('24-aug-2007 13:11:12','dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') from dual
I am in need of converting serial date to regular date ie...735510.40461 and only need the hours, minutes and seconds, I have used the examples I've seen on different forums,
I'm trying to extract some data from a table in oracle. The oracle table stores date and time seperately in 2 different columns. I need to merge these two columns and import to sql server database.
I'm struggling with this for a quite a while and I'm not able to get it working.
I tried the oracle query something like this,
SELECT (TO_CHAR(ASOFDATE,'YYYYMMDD')||' '||TO_CHAR(ASOFTIME,'HH24:MM : SS')||':000') AS ASOFDATE
FROM TBLA
this gives me an output of 20070511 23:06:30:000
the space in MM : SS is intentional here, since without that space it appread as smiley
I'm trying to map this to datetime field in sql server 2005. It keeps failing with this error
The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data
I'm struck with error for hours now. Any pointers would be helpful.
I have been trying to convert datetime but keep getting this error(Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.It works just fine if I don't use execute sp_executesql,.
<code> DECLARE @tablename AS nvarchar(max) DECLARE @SQLQuery AS NVARCHAR(MAX) DECLARE @ParameterDefinition AS NVARCHAR(100) DECLARE @startdate datetime
I am searching for a Powershell script which picks Windows Server names from SQL server table(eg: Instance.DB.tbServerList) & writes last reboot date to SQL server table(can be same or different table).
So let's say I have a table Orders with columns: Order# and ReceiptDate. Order#'s may be duplicated (Could have same Order# with different ReceiptDate). I want to select Order#'s that go back 6 months from the last ReceiptDate for each Order#.
I can't just do something like: SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE ReceiptDate >= add_months(date,-6)
because there could be Order#'s whose last ReceiptDate was earlier than 6 months ago. I want to capture all of the instances of each Order# going back 6 months from each last ReceiptDate relative to each Order#.
I have this script that I'm trying to filter the results of the Job History to the day prior at 1800 hours.
It return dates prior to what I have in the WHERE clause.
What should the WHERE Clause look like?
USE msdb Go SELECT j.name JobName,h.step_name StepName, CONVERT(CHAR(10), CAST(STR(h.run_date,8, 0) AS dateTIME), 111) RunDate, STUFF(STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + CAST ( h.run_time AS VARCHAR(6 ) ) ,6),5,0,':'),3,0,':') RunTime, h.run_duration StepDuration, case h.run_status when 0 then 'failed'
I would like to put a Clustered Index on a date column in a current heap, but one question/concern.This heap every month has thousands of rows deleted and even more added later. How much of an issue will this cause the Clustered Index as far as page splits? I was thinking Fill Factor of 70%.I would normally just test and still will on Dev box, but my Dev box is much smaller than production as far as power.
SELECT TOP 1000 *... case when Rownum<= datediff(day, salesdate, baseenddate) then DATEADD(mm, RowNum, salesdate) /*error at this point*/ else 0 end as subscriptionrowdate FROM Subsrow
Rownum is an integer type. DATEADD is the part when the error is but i dont know how to convert this to int
What I am trying to accomplish is to make a few extra columns with specified date ranges.
I have FY14 date range in the parameters at the top .. I would like to add a FY 15 column so the year would move up by 1.and also I need to add 2 more columns Prior year current month and This year, current month.
<code> DECLARE @Fy14_start datetime DECLARE @Fy14_end datetime SET @Fy14_start = '2013-07-01' SET @Fy14_end = '2014-06-30' SELECT x.ACCOUNT_NAME, X.STATUS_CODE, COUNT(X.PATIENT_CODE) AS FY14
I've used some info on here to generate random dates within a given range and also random times - independently they work fine, but I can't seem to join them into a single field of datetime. I'm not sure why. The following snippet works fine as two independent fields:
select CAST(CAST(ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID()))%(780)+(33968) AS DATETIME) as DATE) as theDate, CAST(CAST(DATEADD(milliSECOND,ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID()))%86400000 ,'00:00') AS TIME) as varchar(50)) as theTimeBut when I try to make it a single datetime field:
select CAST(cast(cast(CAST(ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID()))%(780)+(33968) AS DATETIME) as date) as varchar(50)) + ' ' + cast(CAST(CAST(DATEADD(milliSECOND,ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID()))%86400000 ,'00:00') AS TIME) as varchar(50)) as varchar(50)) as datetime)
Which returns with: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
So what I am really looking for is a way to join those two values into a single datetime field... Or failing that that how to generate random dates within a range including random times...
My Colleague says that Clarion is better DataBase for some scenarios than SQL Server 2005. Can someone help me; is there some comparison table or study on that? In what cases may that be truth( in none i think ).
Here's my statement below. What I'm trying to get is joining the name column in master.sys.databases with a sub query for the database name, file location and backup start date from the MSDB database. The reason for this, if a new database has never been backed up, It should be returning as a NULL value, which is my goal. However, I'm getting multiple results for the backups.
select CONVERT(CHAR(100), SERVERPROPERTY('Servername')) AS Server,a.name,File_Location=b.physical_device_name,backup_start_date=max(backup_start_date) from master.sys.databases a left join(select c.database_name,backup_start_date=max(backup_start_date),b.physical_device_name from msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily b join msdb.dbo.backupset c on c.media_set_id=c.backup_set_id where c.type='D'
