TO_DATE Conversion
May 2, 2008
Hello,
I am very new to SQL and was handed some Oracle code to put into a SQL Server 2005 db. A few errors come up, but the one I'm having the hardest time converting is:
INSERT INTO Reservations VALUES (102, TO_DATE('10/14/03', 'MM/DD/YY'),
22, TO_DATE('10/10/03', 'MM/DD/YY'));
and the error message that accompanies it upon parsing is:
Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Line 86
'TO_DATE' is not a recognized built-in function name.
Any help converting this to SQL Server's liking would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Fry

Ok i'm trying to figure out how to properlyuse the to_date function. Ive read about it in my book and tried looking up some examples of it online... but im still confused on how to use it in my situation.
SELECT TITLE,INITCAP(PUBDATE(TO_DATE(PUBDATE,'Month DD, YYYY'))) FROM BOOKS;
That was my last attempt. Im just trying to get the title and the date for all of the books in the books table. the first letter of the book is supposed tobe capitalized, so i used initcap but then im supposed to put them month in Month DD, YYYY format. I looked it up, seems To_date is my answer but all of the examples seem to confused me. They are all being used along with where functions and I think its confusing me. Can anyone help explain how to use it in this situation?

Hi All:
We have a database date column in this format: 1/27/2008 1:20:00 AM and need a date or time function to cast local JVM time into the above format.
Suggest me the best options.
1. To go for a more comfortable date format in the database itself or
2. To have an appropriate conversion in my code.( I am not feeling good about the suffix AM/PM in the date column!)
Thanks.

Hi ,
I 'm working with visual studio 2005 and I have created an SQLServer Project.
I'm using the CLR functionality which comes with SQLserver 2005. This means that I can write VB.nEt code and use it inside Sqlserver 2005.So far so good.
I am now inside the .NET
I have created a Function(must remind you that I have created an SQLserver Project) which takes two string arguments. The date value in a string format and the string format.
In Our case the function returns a string.It will return a datetime although.
So we have
Dim Datetime_Val As DateTime = Nothing
Dim Date_Val As Date = Nothing
Dim StrTemp As String = ""
Dim StrDateTemp As String = Nothing
Dim StrTimeTemp As String = Nothing
Dim ls_return As String = Nothing
Dim lindexof As Integer
Dim Counter As Integer = 0
lindexof = 0
Select Case StrFormat
Case "DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MIS"
For Counter = 1 To 2
lindexof = StrDate.IndexOf("-", lindexof + 1)
Next
lindexof += 5
StrDateTemp = StrDate.Substring(0, lindexof).Trim
StrTimeTemp = StrDate.Substring(StrDateTemp.Length, StrDate.Length - StrDateTemp.Length).Trim
ls_return = StrDateTemp & " " & StrTimeTemp
End Select
The above is a simple code. As you can see I'm trying to convert the TO_DATE function ,which work with ORACLE, to make it work with SQLServer 2005.
I've been trying unsuccessfully to combine the variables StrDateTemp and StrTimeTemp into a datetime value. I used the following code but nothing
Datetime_Val = CDate(StrDateTemp & " " & StrTimeTemp)
Didn't work
Datetime_Val = Convert.ToDateTime(StrDateTemp & " " & StrTimeTemp)
Didn't work
Datetime_Val = DateTime.Parse(StrDateTemp & " " & StrTimeTemp)
Didn't work
Inside SQlServer I used this SQL statement
Select dbo.TO_DATE('31-12-1990 00:26:46','DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MIS')
But I am receiveing an error. I want to avoid changing all of my applications with a specific format.This sql statement without the dbo prefix I'm using in Oracle. I want to keep the format of the SQL and let VB.NET do the parsing for me. It is easier for me to put in my SQLs the dbo infront rather changing the complete SQL.
I have two questions . How am I going to create a TO_DATE function which Oracle uses and write something similar in SQLserver ?
And If I cannot do that how am I going to get the database 's datetime format and create with VB.NET the Datetime value from the two variables ?
My problem I believe is quite complex. I would be mostly appreciated if you could help me on this.
Thank you

Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.

just wondering if anyone out there has any advice or feedback regarding an upgrade conversion from 6.5 to 7.0 via the wizard? is this as straightforward as it sounds?
the only bad thing i have heard is when an upgrade is done from 6.5 to 7.0 and the 6.5 database utilized system tables . . . any feedback would be sincerely appreciated.
thank you in advance!

Hello, I would like to convert some of the rows in a column that has a data type of int to a decimal. Should I change the data type of the whole field to decimal or numeric, it seems like no matter what I do I cannot get certain rows to come up with a decimal number even though when I run a cast or convert it gives me the correct number of rows affected when I look at the data it is still in int format. Although this seems simple I am not having any luck getting this to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Techies,
We had a database MS-Access with DAO statements and we are upgrading our Database to MS-SqlServer which in need to convert the DAO statements to ADO statements.
What i want to know is there any free tool which converts automatically to convert DAO statements to ADO statements. If so what is it?
If not what is the easiest procedure to convert or otherwise should I have to do it manually convert all those DAO statements(so many). If I have to do it manually can u explain where i need to take care mainly while converting the statements.
Thank U

Hi!
I have a Fact_ETL process with several Lookups.
I need to compare a ID-string datatype DT_14 from OLE DB Source to string DT_18 from Dim_salesperson. Then I would collect the ID's from Dim_salesperson into OLE DB Destination. Tried to convert DT_14 to DT_18 before Lookup. No, not working. Decimal[DT_Decimal] not working either...
I would be so grateful if someone could give an idea...

I am getting a "Syntax error converting the varchar value '10,90' to a column of data type int." error when I run the following procedure:
@myList varchar(200)
SELECT column1
FROM table1
WHERE table1.ID IN (@myList)
When @myList is a single value, I get no errors. However, when @myList is a comma separated list like in the message above, I error out. I am using SQL Server 2000.
How else can I build this list of IDs? Thank you in advance for your comments.

Dear All:
I am in the process of developing a code generation tool to generate automatically:
1- Business Layer objects
2- Object Layer objects
3- Data Layer objects
The code follows the same technique used in IssueTracker Starter Kit.
I faced somehting wierd today while trying to convert between SQL Data types to C# data types:
Check the image please, the problem is that, different value number is being given to each column type, by using both:
syscolumsn.type and syscolumns.xtype,
which one to use ? which is the best used to convert to C# ?
Are there any place where data types of SQL Server are being converted to C# data types ?
check the pic here please SQL DB
Thanks a lot

I'm searching on a smalldatetime field in SQL Server so a typical value would be 09/21/2005 11:30:00 AM. I have a search form which offers the user a textbox to search by date and unless they enter the exact date and time, no matching records are found. Of course I want I all records for a given day to be returned. This is how I'm doing it now. Thanks.

Please help.I have an aspx page with a drop down list(ddlCategories), and a datalist(dlLinks). The drop down lists data property is a uniqueidentifier from a table.When an item in the list is selected it fires the following:SqlLinks.SelectParameters("CategoryID").DefaultValue = ddlCategories.SelectedValuedlLinks.DataBind()The sqldatasource for the datalist runs a stored procedure (below)sp_GetLinks (@CategoryID ?)

I hope that some one can find the time to advise an uninitiate. I have built a fairly complex data base system using Access 97 that handles many of my company's day to day operations. I does most of what I want although lately I have found that it has become pretty slow. This could be due to the fact that this is really my first big project and perhaps I could be a bit sleeker with my coding. It could also be due to weaknesses in my network. Finally it could be due to weaknesses in Access. I was wondering if there was any one who might be able to shed a little light on what steps I would take that would be the most likely to speed things up.
I realize this is a pretty general question but I would be eager to provide more detials. Any guidance in this matter would be apreciated since I have a bit of money and am planning a LAN upgrade anyway. Perhaps I should save a bit of money on the LAN and put it into a copy of SQL Server?
Thanks
