Rather than reinvent the wheel, can someone pass along a date/time function combination? I have a field of smallDateTime being used primarily for the time value - all rows have the same date. e.g., format is 10/22/2005 01:00:00 PM.
What's the easiest function combination to get all rows for day (then night) where day is defined as 6am-10pm (night is midnight-6am and 10pm-midnight). Thought I could use datepart and hh, but it doesn't give me 1 pm as the true miliary time of 13.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Express 2005. The database was converted from MS Access 2003 to SQL Express by using the upsize wizard.
I would like to store the current date & time in a column in a table. This column is a smalldatetime column called 'lastlogin'.
The code I'm using is:
Dim sqlcommand As New SqlCommand _
("UPDATE tableXYZ SET Loggedin = 'True', LastLogin = GetDate() WHERE employeeID = '" & intEmployeeID.ToString & "'", conn)
Try
conn.Open()
sqlcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
This code works fine on my local machine and local SQL server. However at the client side this code results in the error as mentioned in the subject of this thread. I first used 'datetime.now' instead of 'getdate()', but that caused the same error. Then I changed the code to 'getdate()', but the error still remains.
The server at the client is running Windows Server 2000 UK . My local machiine is running WIndows XP Dutch.
Maybe the conversion from Dutch to UK has something to do with it. But this should be solved by using the 'Getdate()' function..... ?
INSERT INTO mytable (mydataitem,mydatefrom,mydateto,myopcode,lastupdat e) VALUES ('SAMPLEDATA','01/01/2003','18/05/2003',1,'05/Mar/2004')
THE ERROR RETURNED IN MY CLIENT APP IS [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value.
AND THAT IN QA IS
Server: Msg 296, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value. The statement has been terminated.
can ne 1 point out the mistake in my sql statement ?
I have an Execute SQL Task that pulls the max date from a sql table.
SELECT max(date_Idx) FROM dbo.FactDailyInventorySnapshot
This field is defined as a smalldatetime. I want to store this max date in a variable in SSIS called LastDate.
Then in a data flow, in an OLE DB Source, I want to use it as a parm in a sql command to compare to a smalldatetime field.
My question is, what type of variable do I declare it in in SSIS, and what is the correct parameter mapping inside of my sql query? I thought I had exhausted all combinations of variable types and parameter types. I have even tried casting it as different data types when I do the exec sql task of getting the max date. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I need to convert a datetime field to smalldatetime. This particular field we only care about the time portion (an example would be '1899-12-30 13:15:00.000') For now I created another field say 'newTime' that is smalldatetime, in which I want to "update" to the smalldatetime version of the data. I know this will truncate the ms, but I don't care about that. Also the min date that can be used with smalldatetime is Jan 1 1900. Not sure how to go about doing this.
Hi guys! I need to convert datetime data type to smalldatetime on production server with hundreds transactions per minute. In this case do I need to restrict users access to the table or put table in the single user mode? Or it doesn't have any impact on productivity and I just can open Design table window in SQL Enterprise Manager and edit it? Thank you in advance, Igor
I am looking for just the date element of a datetime/smalldatetime col. For example the rows appear in typical datetime/smalldatetime format as:
1999-11-30 07:53:00
I need just "1999-11-30". So how do I strip off the time element? Datepart doesn't seem to be the route to take. I also need to use the date with Datediff so by stripping off the time element, I still need to keep the date element as a date datatype.
Hi, i´m have a problem with the Convert function in sql 7 enterprise when i have the value '07-31-1967' format mm-dd-yyyy i recivied the error 296 The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value

Hi, My system has SQL Server 7.0. I am retrieving date from an asp page using ADODB, I get the date in 'mm/dd/yy' format when I use smalldatetime as my datatype. I am aware that smalldatetime datatype is supposed to retieve data in 'mm/dd/yyyy' format. Please let me know if you have any inputs on this.
Will someone please tell me how to pull the time out of a smalldatetime field. The code i am trying to use is as follows:
Select datepart(hh:mm, TimeField1) from table1;
This gives me an error. I have also tried datepart('hh:mm'... datepart("hh:mm"... and other variations but i cant get anything to work. Thanks in advance for any help!!
Hello everyone. I am running into some small problems converting a smalldatetime field. I currently have 2005-10-17 00:00:00 in the field but what it to have forward slashes instead of th dash. I tried a few convert methods but not successful.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?
Used to know how to do this but am having no luck today. I have data coming in from a .txt file that gives me char strings for dates, e.g. 02242003 for Feb. 2, 2003.
Need to whomp this into small datetime with the whole convert/cast thing but I guess I've previously only gone the other way--smalldatetime to char.
Hi im having trouble with SQL datatypes. i am trying to insert into a cell a date, month and day are retrieved from a drop down box whereas the year is retrieved from a textbox.
Also SQL datatypes only allow either 'datetime' and 'smalldatetime'. I am using SmallDateTime (i dont understand why sql doesn't have just a 'date' type)
Either way when i use the below code it inserts the month and day but when it comes to the year, it will always insert either 2001 or 2002 even if thats not what i put in the text box.
'VARIABLES Dim month As String = DropDownList1.SelectedIndex + 1 Dim day As String = DropDownList2.SelectedItem.Text.ToString() Dim year As String = dobTextBox.Text.ToString()
'PARAMETER cmd.Parameters.Add("@dob", SqlDbType.SmallDateTime).Value = month + "/" + day + "/" + year
Hello all and thank you for your time.I have a datagrid where I want to view dates (smalldatetime) and beable to sort on the field. However, I do not want to have the timepart show. If I use the convert function(convert(char,ProjDate,101) asProjDate) the field is then a char and does not sort correctly.Any solutions?Thanks again,Sunshine
I have a table that contains transactional data. Such as site view bywhom, when, which template, etc, etc...Everytime when I pulled the report, hh:mm:ss never matters. Onlybreakdown by dates, not time.Having read some chapters of Ralph Kimball's book, I am inspired tobuild "date" table with integer as primary key.Here's what I have for schema of transactional table.- viewed_customer_id int (4bytes)- template_id uniqidentifier (16 bytes)- viewed_on datetime (8 bytes)And here's the version I am thinking of building- viewed_customer_id int (4bytes)- template_id uniqidentifier (16 bytes)- viewed_date_key int (4 bytes)- seconds int (4 bytes)* I put seconds just in case I need to retrieve hour based or minutebased report.Here's my question. I've also noticed that smalldatetime is also 4bytesof memory but it consists of 2 sets of 2 bytes.When I index, would there be significant performance difference betweenindexing 4 byte of column and indexing 2bytes x 2 of column?
I am trying to insert data into a table that has two smalldatetime columns I am using the following code INSERT INTO dbo.Orders SELECT TAX_ID, Customer_ID, InvoiceNumber, DeliveryCharge, TimeSlot_ID, convert(CHAR(8), DateStamp, 112), convert(CHAR(8), DeliveryDate, 112) , Order_ID FROM dbo.Pending_Orders
I have tried a few different things but I keep getting the error Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type smalldatetime. Or must use Convert when I try CAST AS smalldatetime Also, Can some please tell me where I can get information about the mask number i.e. 112 Thanks
Hallo,I am trying to insert date in a table in my database, where column type is smalldatetime. Query works fine if date format is mm.dd.yy:INSERT INTO DateTable (DateValue) VALUES ('8.18.2007 22:00:00') works fine! But if the time format is dd.mm.yy it does not work:INSERT INTO DateTable (DateValue) VALUES ('18.8.2007 22:00:00') does not work!The error message is: The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value. Is there any chance to execute(dd.mm.yy) INSERT INTO DateTable (DateValue) VALUES ('18.8.2007 22:00:00') properly? Thanx!Marko
Hi. Is there a way to convert a smalldatetime value to a year value (1/1/2001 -> 2001) in this case? I tried year(thisIsSmalldatetimeField) and datepart(yyyy, thisIsSmalldatetimeField) Dim FilterExpression As String = String.Concat("thisIsSmalldatetimeField=" & DropDownList.SelectedValue & "") mySqlDataSource.FilterParameters.Clear() mySqlDataSource.FilterExpression = FilterExpression
The field can have null values. But I am not able to insert null values into the database. i tried using subdate="". But it inserts some min value of my calendar popup.
Is there a way that i could insert null values into smalldatetime field of the SQl database.
I just imported an Access database into SQL Server. The database is the 2005-2006 NFL schedule. there are 2 smalldatetime columns, one of which is the date of the games, the other has the times. In order to get the table to import (without just stopping with an error) I had to change the smalldatetime setting on the SQL Server table to Varchar. The error I was recieving was "blahblahblah DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Dataoverflow. ... Invalid character value for cast specification" . Google has explained that this is due to the dates being outside of the acceptable range. An example of a date in the date column is "9/11/2005". An example of a time in the time column is "1:00:00 PM". These seem perfectly acceptable to my untrained eye, and they do indeed work in the Access version of the database.Now for the questions:What do I have to do to these dates to make them acceptable to the smalldatetime setting? Can I just run a query that smushes the two columns together into a valid datetime? I need to have them as valid dates in order to perform checks when people submit their picks (you can't make picks after the game has started). Is there any real reason why SQL Server would not have accepted them as they existed in the Access database? How lenient are the datetime and smalldatetime datatypes?I realize that in the time it took me to type out this post I could have just manually re-entered them all into one new datetime column, but I would like to know why this isn't working. I hope my post isn't too jumbly. Any help is appreciated.
Hi there. Id like to use the smalldatetime type to store my dates in my SQL db. However I do not want the time added on or anything and I want it in the dd/mm/yyyy format. I am getting the dates from my webpage as strings. how do I cast them into the above format when doing inserts and updates? Is there a validation control available for dates in this format that I can use on my page?? I have many dates to validate and writing pages of code doesn't seem like the best solution. There must be an easier way... Thanks, all you clever people...
Hello, In the code SqlParameter dtDate = new SqlParameter("@date",SqlDbType.SmallDateTime,4); dtDate.Value=Convert.ToDateTime(Session["date"].ToString()); cmd.Parameters.Add(dtDate);where the @date parameter is defined as a SMALLDATETIME inside a stored procedure, I cannot use a function such as "Convert.ToSmallDateTime" and it seems a conversion from DateTime to SmallDateTime takes place anywhere within the code. Eventually it works but I wonder if everything's ok with this code. Is there anything wrong about it? Thanks
Hi, when I convert a field into smalldatetime from nvarchar(50) in Sql Server 2000, i got a default value (1900-01-01 00:00:00) for that field.Actually value of that field to be changed as different values).I want to be convert bulk of records.please help me.
Hello,I have a table with a Day field, defined as smalldatetime. I am filling itfrom a CSharp application with the following code:DataRow r = dtStaDays.NewRow();r["Station_ID"]= station_ID;r["Day"] = sd.Date;r["Range"] = rangeTide;etc.However when I do a query using"Select * FROM StationDays where Station_ID = 8 and Day = 06/01/2005"I don't get any results even though that row exists. To make it work I haveto use"Select * FROM StationDays where Station_ID = 8 and Day > 06/01/2005"(which isn't very satisfactoryorSELECT * FROM StationDays WHERE (Station_ID = 8) AND ([Day]= CONVERT(DATETIME, '2005-01-06 00:00:00', 102))What can I do to simplify this query?ThanksMarc Pelletier
