T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Error Converting Datetime To String
May 29, 2014
I am trying to create a stored procedure that Pulls in Chargeable and Non Chargeable hours for our employees however When I run the Stored Procedure I get this error "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string." I am having a hard time figuring out were this is happening in the Stored Procedure. Also I would like to be able to Add a parameter that would be the StartDate and EndDate for which the stored procedure would pull time for.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Chargeability]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
[Code] ......

I have a dropdown list thats boudn to a SqlDataSource. The DataSource looks like this:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="dsProgramList" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:csData %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT [Program_Name] +','+ [Begin_Date] AS NAMEandDATE, [Course_ID], [LOC] FROM [ThisTable] WHERE ([LOC] = @LOC)">
<SelectParameters>
Where the dropdownlists text = NAMEandDATE and its value = Course_ID
When I select the LOC from the LOCdropdownlist, the dropdownlist in question updates, and an error "Erro converting datetime from character string" happens?
Any suggestions?

Here's the deal. I'm a newbie trying to update a date (@Effective) in sql server. I've been trying all sorts of things, but nothing seems to work. Here's my current code:
Sub btnUpdate_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim sqlStmt As String
Dim conString As String
Dim cn As SqlConnection
Dim cmd As SqlCommand
Dim sqldatenull As SqlDateTime
Try
sqlStmt = "UPDATE [Submission] SET [Effective]=Convert(DateTime, '@Effective', 101), "& _
"[Status]=@Status WHERE ([Submission].[Submission]=@Submission)"
conString = "server='(local)'; user id='sa'; password='password'; database='database'"
cn = New SqlConnection(conString)
cmd = New SqlCommand(sqlStmt, cn)
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Submission", SqlDbType.Int, 4))
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Effective", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10))
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Status", SqlDbType.VarChar, 8))
sqldatenull = SqlDateTime.Null
If (txtEffective.Text = "") Then
cmd.Parameters("@Effective").Value = sqldatenull
Else
cmd.Parameters("@Effective").Value = txtEffective.Text
End If
cmd.Parameters("@Status").Value = dropStatus.SelectedItem.Text
cmd.Parameters("@Submission").Value = LabelSubmission.Text
cn.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cn.Close()
Response.Redirect("main.aspx")
Catch ex As Exception
lblError.Text = ex.Message
Finally
cn.Close()
End Try
End Sub
My db is setup as follows:
Submissionint4
Insuredvarchar30
Statevarchar2
Effective datetime 8
Underwritervarchar9
Statusvarchar8
Cleareddatetime 9
I'm losing my hair by the fist full... Somebody please stop the insanity!

Somewhere, either in the
aspx.vb code, or the stored procedure that's being called, it doesn't
like my code since I am getting the dreaded "syntax error converting
datetime from character string" error. I've been battling this
for two days - can someone spot what is wrong here?
The dtWdate variable is coming from a calendar control on my aspx page.
Please help - I've tried every conceivable way I can think to do this without success.
Lynnette
Here's the code:
Private Sub GetFLSAEmpInfoRecs()
'uses the AppSettings table to generate WHERE clause from the filter values
Dim dtWdate As DateTime = Calendar1.SelectedDate
Dim wValue As String = Session("svFilterValue")
Dim cnn As New SqlConnection(constants.SQLConStrFLSA)
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("usp_AddFLSA", cnn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cnn.Open()
cmd.Parameters.Add(New
SqlParameter("@dtWDate", SqlDbType.DateTime)).Value =
Convert.ToDateTime(dtWdate)
cmd.Parameters.Add(New
SqlParameter("@whereString", SqlDbType.VarChar, 500)).Value = wValue
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cnn.Close()
End Sub
And here is the stored procedure:
ALTER PROC usp_AddFLSA
@dtWdate datetime,
@whereString as varchar(255)
AS
DECLARE @strSQL as varchar(2000)
SET @strSQL =
'
INSERT INTO FLSAEmpInfo
( Emp_Number,
PT_ID,
Emp_Division,
Emp_DeptInfo,
Emp_Supervisor,
Emp_Location,
Emp_Union,
Emp_SG,
Emp_Shift,
WrkDate
)
SELECT
hcsoSharedTables.dbo.Employee2.Emp_Number,
hcsoSharedTables.dbo.Employee2.[ID],
hcsoSharedTables.dbo.Employee2.Division,
dbo.udf_getDeptInfo(hcsoSharedTables.dbo.employee2.Department,hcsosharedtables.dbo.employee2.Dept_Mgr,hcsosharedtables.dbo.employee2.job_dept_code),
hcsoSharedTables.dbo.Employee2.Job_Supervisor,

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with the following stored proc:
Code:
sql
declare @orderBy tinyint
set @orderBy = 2
SELECT tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered, count(movieSessionID) As sessionsCount FROM tblUsers
LEFT JOIN tblMovieSessions on tblUsers.userID = tblmovieSessions.userID
Group By tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered
Order By Case
WHEN @orderBy = 2 THEN firstName
WHEN @orderBy = 3 THEN dateRegistered
WHEN @orderBy = 4 THEN count(movieSessionID)
else lastName
End desc
When I execute it with @orderBy = 1 or 2 I get the following error message: Quote: Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
However, with @orderBy = 3 or 4 it executes successfully.
I don't understand why this change should have this impact because the error seems to be occuring on the first line (i.e. SELECT...).
If I take the dateRegistered column out of the query I get a new error message:
Quote:
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'Adam' to a column of data type int.
I don't understand why it is trying to convert these columns during the query anyway, let alone how to solve the problem.
Anyone got any ideas?

I am using INSERT to replace about 160 fields for one company in the company table, all goes well until I come to the Rn_edit_date field which is a datetime datatype. When I insert the value of:
cast('2005-03-15 09:25:44.463' as datetime)
Error message as a result is: Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
NOTE: 2005-03-15 09:25:44.463 is the correct format which all other companies abide by, so I'm totally lost at where I'm going wrong?
Any help would be appreciated

I have a field that has dates that are currently set as a string. Dates are as follows:
Apr 01 2006
Aug 20 2006
Aug 20 2006
I did an isdate() function on the field to see if it can be converted and it came back as true; however, I have attempted several different ways to convert the field to a date field and it continues to give me a syntax error. Any assistance would be great!!!
I tried:
convert(datetime,cast(New_Date as varchar),100)
convert(varchar(25),New_Date,107)
Both gave me syntax errors.

I want YYYYMMDD.
If I do this it works:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(8), GETDATE(), 112)
Gives me this:
20141114
If I treat as parameter it doesn't:
DECLARE @date_start datetime
SET @date_start = CONVERT(varchar(8), GETDATE(), 112)
SELECT @date_start;
Gives me this:
2014-11-14 00:00:00.000
how to pass the converted value in 112 style as a parameter?

Hi all, first time post so go easy.
I have been trying to find a way of creating a datetime comprised of getdate() and a time that i specify. I am trying to do this as shown below:
Declare @Test datetime
Declare @Test1 Datetime
Set @Test = getdate()
SET @Test1 = CONVERT(datetime, datepart(y, @Test) + datepart(m, @Test)+ datepart(d, @Test)+' 16:30:00',120)
So, i am building a string using datepart and then adding the time at the end. The 120 after the final comma is to define the style (as i am sure you will all know anyway).
When i run this i get the following error:
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 35
Syntax error converting the varchar value ' 16:30:00' to a column of data type int.
If i take out the colons it runs but brings back the wrong date, the whole date seems to be dependant on the time part at the end.
I am sure this is a really simple problem and i am sorry if i am wasting you time but its late and i just cant see it. Any help would be fantastic.

Can anyone tell me what this error message means and how I can correct it on my statement:
Code:
Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
Here's my query statement:
Code:
SELECT animalid AS "Animal ID", name AS "Name", categoryid AS "Category ID", DATENAME(MONTH, dateBorn) + ' ' + DATENAME(DAY, dateBorn) + ', ' + DATENAME(YEAR, dateBorn) AS "Date of Birth"FROM animalWHERE categoryid = 'Cat' AND dateBorn = 'May%'
I know it has something to do with: dateBorn = 'May%' because when I took out Quote: AND dateBorn = 'May%' I get results, but I need to narrow it down to list the cats born in May.

I have a column which has 05MAY2006:04:34:00.000000 it is stored as varchar(25). I need to save it as datetime in the same column. I have tried using
update tablename
set columnname = (SUBSTRING(columnname,1,2) + '-' + SUBSTRING(columnname,3,3) + '-' +
SUBSTRING(columnname,6,4) + ' ' + SUBSTRING(columnname,11,8));
and then
alter table tablename
alter columnname datetime;
but later it shows up the error
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
How do I change it any other opinion or any modification for the above query.

Hello all,
New to the forums here. I'm not a beginner with SQL, but nor am I a SQL developer - network engineer who knows some scripting and the fundamentals of DB design/administration. There's the background.
I have a database of client information where a date is keyed in and stored as text. Because this is entered by end-users, the way it's entered varies - 1/1/2001, 01/01/2001, etc. Most use "1/1/2001" (note the date is not the same for each record)
I have 4,000 records to update and I need to try to convert the text string to the correct date - changing 1/1/2005 to the same date in proper date/time format. My database uses datetime as an integer calculating the number of days from 12/30/1800. Today's date would be 75508. Time is separated into different fields.
I can do the work to update the text to a single format to make the conversion easier, but I am having trouble locating the proper way to write a convert function to do this. I've searched online (which is how I came here) and have searched the forums without luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have a stored procedure called from ASP code, and when it is executed, the stored procedure takes in a date as an attribute.
But since the stored procedure call is really just a string in the code, it is taking in the value as a string. So in my stored procedure, I want to convert a string value to a date value.
Any idea how this is done?

I am trying to write a SP in Query Analyzer before I start the code from a web form to acces it.
Here is the SQL:
-------------------------------------------
DECLARE @cReportGroups Varchar(500)DECLARE @StartDateRange DateTime
DECLARE @EndDateRange DateTime
SET @cReportGroups = '''VCCEddieBauer'',''VCCEddieBauerDirect'', ''VCCEddieBauerOrder'', ''VCCEddieBauerOvernight'', ''VCCEddieBauerSpanish'', ''VCCEddieBauerCustomerService'''
SET @StartDateRange = '09-16-2007'
SET @EndDateRange = '01-31-2008'
BEGIN
Declare @sql As Varchar(800)
Set @sql = 'SELECT ttalkacd, cName, dIntervalStart, cReportGroup' +
' FROM IAgentQueueStats ' +' WHERE dIntervalStart >= ' + @StartDateRange
---- ' AND dIntervalStart <= ' + EndDateRange +
---- ' AND cReportGroup IN (' + @cReportGroups + ')' +
---- ' AND cHKey3 = ''*''' +
-- ' ORDER BY dIntervalStart' --+
---- ' COMPUTE SUM(ttalkacd)'
--Print(@sql)
exec (@sql)
END
-----------------------------------------------
Just trying to get the first >= filter working before I fill in the >= working to complete the date range logic.
But I keep getting this conversion error.
Why does SQL think that anything is a character string?All dates are declared as DateTime.I have tried a bunch of combinations like Convert(DateTime, @StartDateRange, 101).Nothing seems to work.

Hi,
I'm writing some SQL and want to convert the following expression into a date format in the SELECT list:
'01/'&Month(OrderDate)&'/'&Year(OrderDate)
Basically, I want to look at each order date, convert that date to the first of that month and GROUP BY this expression.
There is a CONVERT function, but I'm new to all this and can't seem to get it to work.
Any help would be gratefully received!

Good Morning:
I received the above error message when I try to convert a field to a date.
Here is the line of sql:
convert(datetime, cast(EligibilityEndDate as char(8)), 112) as EligibilityEndDate,
EligibilityEndDate is stored as an integer in our source system, so dates display 20080201.
Looks like the data is not a correct date.
If I just bring in the field as is, and load results into a text file or Access, I can't see the offending record.
The query returns around 320K records.
Is there another way of finding the invalid record(s)?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am trying to insert an entry into my database, but I keep on getting the following error: "Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string." My query is a parameterized T-SQL query (i.e. "INSERT INTO blah (name, dob) VALUES (@name, '@dob')"), and I have initialized the SqlCommand object by doing: sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@name", "Captain America");
sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@dob", birthdate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy h:mm tt");
sqlCon.Open();
sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlCon.Close();
The dob field in the table 'blah' is a smalldatetime datatype, and in the code above, the birthdate object is a DateTime object.
I can insert into my database using a normal T-SQL through Management Studio,
For example, INSERT INTO blah (name, dob) VALUES ('Captain America', '11/27/1923 12:34 PM')
But it doesn't work when I try doing it the way I have listed above. It's really annoying because I don't know how to debug or if it is possible to debug the query. So first off, I want to ask, does anyone know how why this exception is occuring? Secondly, is it possible to debug the query? and if yes, how? And finally, is there a way for me to extract the T-SQL query sent to the SQL Server with the parameters filled in their values? For example, after adding all parameters to the SqlCommand via sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(), can I get the T-SQL query that is sent to the server?

The source is a flat file with a column where dates are stored as: 07/12/2006 11:35am. In some cases the column is blank.
I need to import this into a table with a datetime column. In the data flow task, I get the error that conversion b/w String and DB_Timestamp is not allowed. First question is why does SSIS think its a DB_Timestamp column? Shouldnt it be DB_Date or DB_Time. Anyway, when I add a Data Conversion Task in the Data Flow, and cast to the source column to either DB_TimeStamp, DB_Date or DB_Time I get an error.
Please help. What am I doing wrong.

I have written the following query to extract data splitting a text string into separate fields. This query works fine and returns results.

SUBSTRING(params, PATINDEX('%AccountNo=%', params)+10, 7) AS AccountNumber,
CAST(SUBSTRING(substring(params, 0, len(params)), PATINDEX('%Amount=%', params)+7, 10) AS decimal(18,2)) AS Amount,

The problem arises when I try to do a WHERE on either the importyear or importmonth field.

where DATEPART(year, importdate) = 2007
I get
Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.
but when I use ISDATE() to validate the importyear it returns nothing indicating that the actual importdate is a valid date. Can anyone help please?
Thanks

i am trying to take a field that has part of a date in it, so I have to parse it out as follows:
SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)
This is because a date of 04/16/2014 will show as 160416 in the first part of the field I need to parse it out of, thus becoming 04162014.
From there I then need to convert this "date" into a legitimate SQL datetime type, so that I can then run a DATEDIFF to compare it to when the record was actually entered, which is a separate field in the table, and already in datetime format.
When I use the below statement, I am getting the message that, "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string."
CAST((SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)) as datetime)
I also tried CONVERT(datetime, (SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)), and got the same message.
how I can parse that field, then convert it to a datetime format for running a DATEDIFF statement?
