Searching Varchar Field That Contains Future Dates Error
Feb 25, 2008
I am doing a search on a column of type varchar, the columns all contain dates in the future. When i perform a query
SELECT [CIFPan]
,[CIFMemNum]
,[CIFLName]
,[CIFFName]
,[CIFExpDate]
FROM [FutureSoft].[dbo].[zCIFRecord]
WHERE CAST([CIFExpDate] AS smalldatetime) between '12/01/2000' and '01/30/2015'
I get error:
Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting character string to smalldatetime data type.
I can use this same query on an exactly same other field that contains dates in the past. Is there some kind of limitation on the dates as far as them being in the future or past?

I have a DB named zCIFRecord with a column named CIFUpdateDate which is of datatype varchar. The data is a date MM/DD/YYYY 01/30/2008, this is al that is in this column. I can search this colum for individual dates and for a range of dates. My problem is with a range of dates that is not within the same year, such as;
SELECT [CIFPan]
,[CIFMemNum]
,[CIFLName]
,[CIFFName]
FROM [FutureSoft].[dbo].[zCIFRecord]
WHERE [CIFUpdateDate] between '12/01/2007' and '01/30/2008'
will return nothing because it seems to only search on the 12 then the 01 then the 2008. this search can be performed properly on dates within the same year such as;
SELECT [CIFPan]
,[CIFMemNum]
,[CIFLName]
,[CIFFName]
FROM [FutureSoft].[dbo].[zCIFRecord]
WHERE [CIFUpdateDate] between '01/01/2008' and '01/30/2008'
will return the proper values because now all the numbers are in correct order. How can i create a search that lets me perform the first query as well as the second query. I tried to convert to a float but you cant convert a varchar to a float.

I have a varchar column which containd comma delimited values like
Rec# Fruits
1 Apple, Peach, Strawberry
2 Orange, Mango
3 Banana, Grape
...........
Now i have to add search facility so that a user could search for more than 1 fruit at a time. I have a Stored Procedure which returns records from this table. that SP has a Parameter @SearchFruit Varchar(500) and the user could pass in values like 'Apple, Mango' to this parameter.
Now how should i write the SQL so that i get back the records Rec# 1 & 2 since apple is there in 1st record and mango is there in the 2nd ??
I know if a put the comma delimited values as individual records in a temporary table and also do the same for the parameter values then i can get the desired results. But i want to avoid doing that. Any other way ?
Thanks
Sumit.

Hello Gang,
I have a strange problem that I haven't dealt with before.
I need to execute a piece of code based on date ranges. If the date range is:
Scenario 1:between 02/28 (Feb 28) and 07/31 (July 31) do x
-----------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 2:between 08/01 (Aug 1) and 01/31 (Jan 31) do y
Can anyone help me with this code. I am having a SCD (Stupid Coder Day) and can't seem to do anything that is scalable - like accounting for leap years (Feb issue) and the fact that Scenario # 2 above is between 2 different calender years.
Your help is much appreciated.

I am trying to automate a report. The report is supposed to generate a result that will differ based on the date ranges going into the future. E.g.
[1]. If the run date of the report is between '2/1/20xx' and '7/31/20xx' display <ABC> or
[2]. If the run date of the report is between '8/1/20xx' and '1/31/20xx' display <PQR>
In example # 2. I am moving from one year to the next (July to Dec and the one extra month of Jan). So for example, if the guy runs the report between August of 2008 and January of 2009, display <PQR>.
How do I achieve both # 1 & 2 above in a code? Does this explain better.

I am trying to setup an indicator value for an SSRS report to show green and red values on a report, based on the NRESULT value. The problem I am facing is that I have several different CASE statements that have the same logic, and they are processing just fine. NRESULT is a decimal field, so no conversion should be necessary. I do not know why I am getting the "Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric." error message.
Below is the CASE statement where the error is occurring. It is in the part of the ELSE CASE. The first CASE works just fine when the ELSE CASE is commented out. If I also change the ELSE CASE statement to say "else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then '0'", then it processes fine, too, so it has to be something I am missing something in the check on negative values. I do need the two checks, one for positive and one for negative values, to take place.
case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) <> '-' then --This portion, for checking positive values, of the CASE statement works fine.
CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) between 0.00 and 0.49 THEN '2' --Green
ELSE CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) > 0.49 THEN '0' --Red
ELSE '3' --White
END
END
else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then --This portion, for checking negative values, of the CASE statement is producing the conversion error message.
[code]....
I checked the NRESULT field, and there are not any NULL values in there, either.

I've got 2 tables :
TABLE DateSqlServer
Date as DateTime
TABLE DateDb2
Date as VarChar(26)
I run these queries :
INSERT INTO DateSqlServer (Date) VALUES (GetDate())
INSERT INTO DateDb2 SELECT Date FROM DateSqlServer
Then, when I run :
SELECT Date FROM DateDb2
I get
"march 8 2004 3:45 PM"
instead of
"2004-03-08 03:45:12:000"
How can I transfer the date as I see it in table DateSQLServer
WITHOUT doing FORMATs on the Date column ?
Why does the INSERT transform the date format ?

Hi all,
I have a very big database with me. This database has large number of tables and each table has n number of fields.
My trouble now is that I desire to search for a field name called 'empname'. Is there any query possible for me to search all tables and return me the table names which contain fields which match with 'empname'. Adding essence to the porridge I would like to know if I specify something like '%pnam%' it should match any field name which contains 'pnam' as a portion of its name. Is all these possible ??
Thanx for any help in advance,
Regards,
tvks

Hello,
I have a table with a column that is currently a varchar(50), but I want to convert it into an int. When I try to just change the type in design mode I get an error that conversion cannot proceed. When I look at the field it appears some of the entries have special characters appended at the end, I see a box after the value.
How can I remove all speical characters and then convert that field to an int?
Also I tried the following query which did not work as well, same error about conversion.
UPDATE myTable SET field = CAST(field AS int)

Im building up a query in my code behind. When I execute this query it returns a list of users who match the criteria.BUT, I want to add something extra. In my DB in the tblUserData there's a field "interests" datatype nvarchar(30) which contains the numbers (comma-delimited) of the interestsID in my tblInterests. For example, my interestsfield may contain something like: 1,4,8Now if someone wants to find someone who has number 4 and 8 as interests, how can I search in this textfield?!?I wrote this in a SP, but I'd really like it to be possible from code-behind and build the query myself...declare @s varchar(20)set @s='4,8'EXEC('SELECT * FROM tblUserData WHERE Interests in ('+@s+')')

I'm using the .NET Framework 1.1 together with SQL Server 2005 Beta.
I have a search page where you can search a db using a number of fields or combination thereof. Three are text fields (patient id, surname, forename) and I can do any search using one criteria or any combination without any problem.
However, I'd also like to search on a dob (datetime field in SQL Server) and I'm having real problems in making this work. The dates are stored in the following way in SQL Server: '1938-05-31 00:00:00.000', whilst they are displayed as 'dd/mm/yyyy' on a web page, which I guess corresponds to my regional settings.
My code is shown below. I 've tried any number of combinations for the dob string with no success. I do not get any error, just no records are returned.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong and how to correct it before this drives me crazy?!
TIA for any help.
P.S. chxPatID, chxSurname etc are all checkboxes.
<code starts>
If chxPatID.Checked Then
strSQL = strSQL & " patid= '" & txtPatID.Text & "' "
strAND = " AND "
End If
If chxSurname.Checked Then
strSQL = strSQL & strAND & " surname ='" & txtSurname.Text & "' "
strAND = " AND "
End If
If chxForename.Checked Then
strSQL = strSQL & strAND & " forename='" & txtForename.Text & "' "
strAND = " AND "
End If
If chxDoB.Checked Then
strSQL = strSQL & strAND & " dob= " & CDate(Year(txtDoB.Text) & "-" & Month(txtDoB.Text) & "-" & Day(txtDoB.Text)) & ""
End If
</code ends>

I need to find a better way to find all parts from a particular category. Each part can appear in multiple categories.
Currently, I use the id of a catagory and search the txtCatagory field in the position of the id.
I have included the query string for you to see.
SELECT * FROM tblParts
WHERE SUBSTRING(txtCategory,@CatId, 1) = '1'
ORDER BY PartNum ASC
txtCategory is Data Type Text
This currently does work, however is causing some performance problems with my ISP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am building a website in ASP.net C# for a university project, and would like to search a table (Member) for a field (UserName) using a session variable Session["sUserName"]. If that field is null, then I would like to insert that session variable into the field to start to create a new user. However, I am getting errors saying that I am using invalid expression terms. My code is;
//Create the Command, passing in the SQL statement and the ConnectionString queryString = "SELECT UserName FROM Member WHERE (UserName = @myUsername); ";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConn);cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@myUsername", Convert.ToString(Session["sUserName"])));
//If UserName is null, display confirmation, else display errorif (UserName == null) ;
{UserNameCheckLabel.Text = "Username okay";
String queryString = "INSERT INTO Member (UserName) VALUES(@myUsername); ";SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConn); cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@myUsername", Convert.ToString(Session["sUserName"])));
}else;
{UserNameCheckLabel.Text = "That username is in use";
}
I have a feeling I should be checking the database for the UserName, but I'm not sure whether to put this in the SELECT statement part or as a method... I would be most grateful for any advice!
Many thanks,
Chima

I'm just getting into using sql server 2008 and the report builder 3.0 addon after a long time away from sql and I was wondering if the following was possible.I have a number of records with a start and end date along with a volume i.e.
Delivery Start; Delivery End; Volume
01/06/12; 05/06/12; 25,000
01/06/12; 02/06/12; 50,000
24/05/12; 26/10/12; 5,000
Essentially this means for each day between the two delivery dates the stated volume is delivered, what i need to try and do is to find the volume for each day between two user entered dates, giving a result along the lines of
Start Date Entered = 01/06/12
End Date Entered = 03/06/12
Date; Total Volume
01/06/12; 80,000
02/06/12; 80,000
03/06/12; 30,000
Is this actually doable?

Hello, this is my first post to these forums so... Hi.
I'm currently doing a select statement and I cannot figure out how to get it to do what I want it to.
I'm trying get the statement to show how much activity was done in each year in a separate field and I don't have any idea where to start to get this accomplished.
Here's the code:
select distinct client.Number as [ClientNumber], client.FirstName, client.LastName,
client.Address, client.City, client.State, client.Zip,
count(distinct [transaction].date) as VisitsWithinDateRange, client.LastVisit
from client
inner join [transaction] on client.number = [transaction].client
where
[transaction].date >= '01/01/1980'
and
[transaction].date <= '01/01/2008'
and
client.status like '%a%'
and
client.status not like '%n%'
and
client.status not like '%i%'
and
client.clienttype <> 'C'
group by client.number, client.Number, client.FirstName, client.LastName,
client.Address, client.City, client.State, client.Zip, client.LastVisit

Hi guys
I need immediate help with a query that I am trying to write. I want to sum the values in a query but the field has a type of varchar and it has decimal numbers too. So if I do the query something like that, that converts the field to int, I get the error message.
I tried converting it into real or float but I get error message on that too. I need help with adding the calculatedValues and getting there sum. I would appreciate any help with that.
Thanks
-Sarah
Select SUM(Convert(int, calculatedValue))
from monitor.dbo.monHistory
where LocalTimeWithoutDst > '8/26/06' and LocalTimeWithoutDst < '8/28/06'
This is the error message I recieve:

Since a varchar max field can hold up to 2 billion chracters I really don't think I need to specify 2 billion as the size. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm importing data from a text file into SQL as a varchar, and I'm leaving it a varchar in its final destination table. It is essentially a price, i.e., $25.65. I'm using this price field (varchar) to perform a calculation...
Everything seems to work OK, but I'm not sure about using this varchar field to perform this calculation. Is this doable, or should it absolutely be converted to say, decimal?
