Strip Time Out Of A Date Field - Sql
Dec 3, 2004
Hi all,
I have a table that I've imported into SQL - there is a field in there for date that must have used now(); as its default value (access).
So the values are something like:
01/11/2004 12:16:42
I need a way to change the data so that the time element removed is the field just holds the date. Failing that a way to insert this from the existing field into a new field stripping the date off en route would be a great help.
Many thanks
Phil

stupid question - how do I strip the time portion from a date returned from now() or
Globals!ExecutionTime.
I MS either used consistent date functions across all platforms or include help in BOL for their VB functions in SSRS.....

Hi there.
I'm trying to extract data from my SQL server & everything in the script I've got is working (extracting correct data) except for one field - which is for the most part it's off by +2 days (on a few occasions - I see it off by just +1 day or even +3, but it's usually the +2 days).
I'm told that it's due to the conversion formula - but - since SQL is not my native language, I'm at a bit of a loss.
The DB table has the date field stored as a type: CHAR (as opposed to 'DATE')
Can anyone out there help?
Please advise. Thanks.
Best.

field name: picked_dt
Table: oeordlin

I want to display only the date part of a date field which contains both date & time information.
For example I have the value '2013-11-14 00:00:00.000' in my result set, and ideally I would like to show only '2013-11-14'.
I have looked up the datepart() command, however I can't work out how to return all parts of the date, rather than just the year, month, or day.

I have a table named "shift" and I need to setup my query to return only data where the field "startime" = today. The problem I am running into is the starttime field it laid out like "2005-12-29 14:00:00" with different time values. I need to ruturn everything that has todays date regardless of the time value. I tried using GetDate() but that is returning data for other days as well or just data before or after the current time. Does anyone have any suggestions? This is driving me crazy! Thanks, Garrett

I tried searching forums for the last hour and could not find much.
Rather then doing...
REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(RE PLACE(ISNULL(PHONE, ''), ' ', ''), '(', ''), ')', ''), '-', ''), '.', ''), ':', ''), '+', '')
I was hoping there was an equally efficient alternative that utilizes PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', PHONE)
to some capacity (i.e. uses regular expressions to strip all non-numeric characters from the phone field)
I am certain this has been addressed before, just not sure if the "REPLACE to the nth degree" is the only solution.
THANKS!

Is there a way to strip off the time portion of a datetime datatype without changing the datatype?
I know I can convert it using CONVERT (NVARCHAR(10), dbo.tblPayments.PaymentDate, 101) but I need to keep it as a datetime datatype?

I'm adding up quantities of an item that are entered in one after another, so the date is the same, but the time differs.
I used the "first" function in access which works the way I want, but sql7 doesn't use the same function. The "convert" function does not work in access but Here is the gist of the query:
SELECT first(CONVERT(varchar,transactions.tran_date,101)) AS [trandate], transactions.tran_type,
SUM(transactions.qty) AS totqty,...etc.
thanx,
Herb

I've developed a system that uses SQL Server as the DB backend. I'm having problems saving date/time fields from SOME- not all, workstations. The workstations I'm having problems with are all NT WORKSTATION 4.0, and the
native OS language is portuguese. The server is NT SERVER 4.0, and the native OS language is english. All machines have the same international settings,
portuguese(Brazilian). SQL Server is english version 6.5.
I've been using the SQL Trace utility to track what's been going on, and I
know that on the NT WORKSTATION machines, the dates get sent to the SQL Server in portuguese format, whereas on the other machines, it gets properly sent, in english format. I've read the booksonline, but just don't seem to figure out what and where to configure. Can anyone shed some light into this problem, ie, HOW EXACLTY TO CONFIGURE client workstations in order to get date/time problems solved?

We have a piece of software and database for student registers.
One of the biggest problems is the database has been difficult to work with, as I have had to work out the date using dateadd functions and combine fields from different tables.
I've now got the date correctly, but I want to add the time to the time part of a datetime field.
The time field is already stored in a datetime field, but the date in this field is always 1899-12-30.
This is the function I am using to get the date:
Code:
DATEADD(dd, e.day_of_week, DATEADD(ww, sm.week, '01/08/2011'))
And this is the function I use to get the time (from a datetime field):
Code:
SUBSTRING(CAST(e.start_time AS varchar(20)), 13, 5)
With the DATEADD function it appears you can only add individual elements each time hh, mi, ss.
Would I have to add a DATEADD function for each time element in order to add the time to the date?

But,in the gridview it displays the time which is by default same for all the entries which 12:00A.M.

How to hide the time from the gridview.
I m using SQL Server 2005 to store database where i have selected the datatype as date/time.

Hello!
I am using a Ms-Access DS which is accessed by a website's server-side scripts.
What I would like to do is set an existing record's date/time field to null. I have tried to simply alter its value by not including any data within the sharps (##), however that did not work.
How can I accomplish this?
Thank you!

Hi,I have a date/time field in a SQL2000 database, and what I would liketo do is to filter on a specific part of the field, for example thetime or hour.Supposing I have a set of data for the last 5 years and would like tofilter out any records which are outside working hours i.e. I wouldlike to show records where the time is between 9am and 5pm.Does anyone know if there is a simple way to do this in SQL? If yousimply don't specify the date part in the where clause (e.g. WHEREissuedatetime between '09:00:00' and '17:00:00') it defaults it to1900-01-01 so basically no data is returned.The only way I can see to do this is by using the DATEPART function,converting it to a varchar, appending 1900-01-01 on to it andconverting it to a datetime, and then using the where clause as statedabove. This is quite a long-winded way, however. Any other suggestions?Thanks,Matt

I had a problem with the ntext datatype. I need to strip the HTML tags out of a ntext datatype column. I have sample query for that, which works fine for STRING, as stuff is the string function, what to do for ntext field.

This is driving me nuts..
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.
Thanks

I'm looking for a way of taking a query which returns a set of date time fields (probable maximum of 20 rows) and looping through each value to see if it exists in a separate table.
E.g.
Query 1
Select ID, Person, ProposedEvent, DayField, TimeField
from MyOptions
where person = 'me'
Table
Select Person, ExistingEvent, DayField, TimeField
from MyTimetable
where person ='me'
Loop through Query 1 and if it finds ANY matching Dayfield AND Timefield in Query/Table 2, return the ProposedEvent (just as a message, the loop could stop there), if no match a message saying all is fine can proceed to process form blah blah.
I'm essentially wanting somebody to select a bunch of events in a form, query 1 then finds all the days and times those events happen and check that none of them exist in the MyTimetable table.

Sample Table
USE [Testing]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Testing] Script Date: 4/25/2014 11:08:18 AM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
[Code] ....
It seems to work fine with one million records.
Each primary key is unique, but the begindate is non-unique, and i guess even if i use datetime2 and add nanoseconds, from what i have read, there is a chance that i could have a duplicate datetime since the date is imported via XML from multiple sources.
