Hi,
I'm don't seem to be able to find any examples for creating a timesheet app.
For example I have the following columns in mind
Date datetime
StartTime datetime
FinsishTime datetime
Lunch int
Total?
I want the last column to be computed and do a datediff between startTime
& FinishTime - Lunch.
Can someone advise me on the correct syntax.
Thanks in advance.
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 can get my DB to accept my date by doing the following: row.Item("RequestDate") = Me.fullDate.Date -----I have fulldate dimensioned as date above. However if I try to do the follwing for a Time it gives me an error when it trys to update the DB the column is set to datetime & when I check the value of the row Item in my command window it says
?row.Item("BeginTime")#6:00:00 AM# {Date}[Date]: #6:00:00 AM#

I'm using SQL server and in the database the 'epDischargeTime' is stored as '51600' for example. How I make sense of this and convert it to something like 10:00am or something. I need to find the % of patients that were discharged before 10am. Thanks in advance!
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi,
I will try keeping this short. I am connecting to DBS on an AS400. One of the columns in the table in DB2 that I am trying to get is described as ISO Time. When I use AS400 operations navigator and run a SQL query on the column I can see the time in the correct format Eg: 12:27:26. So the source looks ok.
I then connect to DB2 in SSIS, using the ODBC driver etc etc. I have a data reader source that then connects to the DB2 table, using a SQL command and gets the data. Ideally this would then go straight into a OLE DB Destination to get to my SQL Server. I have put a data viewer between the Data Reader and the destination to see the actual values coming through, and the time column is now being displayed as 44846000000.
I have tried using a Data Conversion task, but no combinations seem to get the time back into the correct format.
Any ideas?
I'm setting up a website for a new employer and their existing database.
The table I'm using has a Time field in it that captures the date and time of the record.
I'm trying to tie that field into some label controls and can't seem to figure out how to convert the time to just a date. I tried Format(TimeColumn, "MM/DD/YYYY") which does nothing but put my intended formatting as the label. What do I need to do to convert the time to just a date?
Hi,
I just had problem with Date Time conversion. Here is the example:
Select GetDate()
Result: 2000-08-02 23:50:15.280
Then I use Convert function:
Select Convert(DateTime,Cast(GetDate() as varchar), 101)
Result: 2000-08-02 23:50:00.000
What I expected to see is: 08/02/2000 and it was what I used to get.
Can anybody helpe to solve this problem? I am running sql server 7.0
Thanks,
Jim
Does any of you have an SQL example that will convert a given date to the number of seconds since 1970? We have one that does the opposite (seconds to date), but can't figure out how to go date to seconds.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am querying XML data, which the data and time is returning in this format:
2015-01-16T16:06:14.577-06:00
This is my query:
SELECT
CONVERT(XML,BUSINESSOBJECTIMAGE).value('(NewDataSet/Table1/InstalledDate)[1]', 'nvarchar(100)') AS 'Installed Date'
FROM CORE_AUDITINGTRAIL.AUDITDETAIL
Running that, I get the native Date Time format, as I pointed out above. So, I've tried multiple ways to convert that into SQL format. I tried:
SELECT
CONVERT(XML,BUSINESSOBJECTIMAGE).value('xs:dateTime((NewDataSet/Table1/InstalledDate)[1])', 'nvarchar(100)') AS 'Installed Date'
FROM CORE_AUDITINGTRAIL.AUDITDETAIL
This doesn't seem to make a difference and still gives me the date in native XML format as identified above. So, then I tried this:
SELECT
CONVERT(XML,BUSINESSOBJECTIMAGE).value('xs:dateTime((NewDataSet/Table1/InstalledDate)[1])', 'datetime') AS 'Installed Date'
FROM CORE_AUDITINGTRAIL.AUDITDETAIL
Now I get an error:
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a datetimeoffset data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
So, then I try converting it:
SELECT
CONVERT(datetime,CONVERT(XML,BUSINESSOBJECTIMAGE).value('xs:dateTime((NewDataSet/Table1/InstalledDate)[1])', 'nvarchar(100)')) AS 'Installed Date'
FROM CORE_AUDITINGTRAIL.AUDITDETAIL
Then I get this error:
Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
So, then I try converting it with 127 datetime type and get the same error:
SELECT
CONVERT(datetime,CONVERT(XML,BUSINESSOBJECTIMAGE).value('xs:dateTime((NewDataSet/Table1/InstalledDate)[1])', 'nvarchar(100)'),127) AS 'Installed Date'
FROM CORE_AUDITINGTRAIL.AUDITDETAIL
I even tried to CAST it as a datetime.
I have a field 1700 its a float. I need that converted to time.

Im storing in a table the value corresponding to average answer time of incoming calls of our call center. The time is kept in seconds, however I need to show this value in minutes not in seconds, if I divide the seconds by 60 , I don€™t get the correct time in minutes, for example:
Time in minutes : 00:02:16 (2 minutes and 16 seconds)
Time in seconds : 136 Seconds (that€™s the value stored on my table)
Time in seconds converted in minutes : 136 / 60 = 2,2666666 minutes
I want to get 2,16 minutes
Is there any way to do this conversion (any sql function)?, and also is it correct to do this conversion ?
Thanks for your advices.

The problem I'm encounterin g is that when I go from SQL to Oracle with a date into a Timestamp field in Oracle, it errors out.

A common problem in moving data between SQL Server and UNIX systems is converting to/from the SQL Server datetime format to the UNIX time format.
There are several UNIX time formats, but the most common is a signed 32-bit integer that represents time as the number of seconds between 1970-01-01 00:00:00 and a given time. The functions in the script can be use to convert between SQL Server datetime and this UNIX time format.
For more information on UNIX Time, please read this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time
For more information about SQL Server date/time conversions, refer to this link:
Date/Time Info and Script Links
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=64762
The conversion of UNIX Time to SQL Server datetime is fairly trivial using the SQL Server DATEADD function, and this is the logic used by the F_UNIX_TIME_TO_DATETIME function in the script:
declare @UNIX_TIME int
select @UNIX_TIME = 1111111111
-- Using dateadd to add seconds to 1970-01-01
select [Datetime from UNIX Time] = dateadd(ss,@UNIX_TIME,'1970-01-01')
Results:
Datetime from UNIX Time
------------------------------------------------------
2005-03-18 01:58:31.000
(1 row(s) affected)
The conversion of SQL Server datetime to UNIX Time is more complex. SQL Server datetime is accurate to milliseconds so is necessary to either truncate or round off the time to a whole second. The function in the F_DATETIME_TO_UNIX_TIME script rounds the time down if milliseconds is less than 500 and up otherwise. A second problem is that UNIX Time is an integer, so it can only represent time from 1901-12-13 20:45:52 through 2038-01-19 03:14:07. The range of SQL Server datetime is 1753-01-01 through 9999-12-31, so the function in the script has logic to return a NULL if the datetime is outside the valid UNIX Time range. Another minor issue is that the SQL Server DATEDIFF function will not cover the full range of an integer value with seconds, so it is necessary to have additional logic in the function do cover the time from 1901-12-13 20:45:52 to 1901-12-14 00:00:00.
The function names created by this script are:
dbo.F_DATETIME_TO_UNIX_TIME( @DAY )
dbo.F_UNIX_TIME_TO_DATETIME( @UNIX_TIME )
The script also includes code to test and demo the functions.
if objectproperty(object_id('dbo.F_DATETIME_TO_UNIX_TIME'),'IsScalarFunction') = 1

Hi,I've run into a date conversion problem.When my package starts, I use a SQL Execute task to insert a record into a table. I set the SQLStatementSource value as follows:
"INSERT INTO tblUploadHeader (ExecutionGUID,
StartDateTime) VALUES ( '" + @[System::ExecutionInstanceGUID] + "', '" +
(DT_WSTR, 20) @[System::StartTime] + "' )"
which evaluates to
INSERT INTO tblUploadHeader (ExecutionGUID,
StartDateTime) VALUES ( '{C913A6EC-5DB9-405E-82DB-4F46DE454EEB}', '14/02/2006
11:53:32' )
StartDateTime is a column of type datetime. The INSERT results in the error:
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an
out-of-range datetime value.
SQL Server is treating this as the 2nd day of the 14th month. I don't necessarily have control over the language of the destination SQL Server. Ideally I would like to format this as '14 Feb 2006 ...' which is totally unambiguous. Can anyone suggest a way of doing that in the expression editor, or some other workround?
Thanks

How to convert decimal to time .
I am using below codeÂ
declare @hour decimal(18,4)='249.2644444444'
select  RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(varchar(2),FLOOR(@hour)),2)
+':'
+ RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(varchar(2),FLOOR(((@hour-FLOOR(@hour))*60))),2)
+':'
+ RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(varchar(2),FLOOR(((@hour-FLOOR(@hour))*60)-FLOOR(((@hour-FLOOR(@hour))*60)))*60),2)
For example 1 it works fine but example 2 it throws arithmetic error. Looking for right code which accepts any value and converts to time.

The following T-SQL code is run in a vb.net (2003) module.
I am acquiring data from an OPC server into an array of data type object. It is necessary to declare the array as an object for the OPC server to return data. The OPC returns the data in 15 mS.
I now need to save this data to a table in SQL 2005 running on a 2003 server.
The table for saving the data has already been created and saving the data is actually an 'update ... set ... where' statement.
The statement is
For i as short = 1 to itemCount
sql_command = "Update [IO Log].[dbo].[IO Log] Set TagValue = " & itemValue(i) & " where TagName =' " & tagName(i)
sql_command.executeNonQuery
Next
The TagValue field datatype is decimal(18,6)
The itemValue(i) datatype is object / variant. The itemValue array contains 95% values of type Single and the rest are Integers.
The TagName datatype is varchar(50)
The tagName(i) datatype is string
When I run the loop (255 iterations) with the above query it takes 1500 mS.
If I force a conversion by changing the query to
sql_command = "Update [IO Log].[dbo].[IO Log] Set TagValue = Convert(decimal, " & itemValue(i) & ") where TagName =' " & tagName(i)
it takes 900 mS to execute for 255 iterations.
I tried one more variation
sql_command = "Update [IO Log].[dbo].[IO Log] Set TagValue = Convert(decimal(18,6), " & itemValue(i) & ") where TagName =' " & tagName(i)
which takes 1200 mS to execute for 255 iterations.
If I use the following code
dim tempValue as decimal = 123456789012.123456D
sql_command = "Update [IO Log].[dbo].[IO Log] Set TagValue = " & tempValue & " where TagName =' " & tagName(i)
it excutes in under 100 mS for 255 iterations.
There seems to be a problem during implicit / explicit conversion of type object/variant to decimal.
I need to save the data received from the OPC (255 tags) in under 150 mS.
Could somebody help?
Hi,
I am importing a csv file to SQL 2005 table. The source column is coming as datetime. The destination filed is a datetime type. I would like to update the destination with the time part from the source. I used the data conversion to convert it to time using "database time[DT_DBTIME]". For a source value "2/08/2007 21:51:07" this inserts a value "2007-08-03 21:51:07.000". I need the column to have a value as "1900-01-01 21:57:07.000".

FROM CA_Registration WHERE Month(CreatedDate)= @paMonthIn AND YEAR(CreatedDate)=@paYearIn
OPEN RegCreatedDate

I'm trying to select only July from show_held but I keep on getting the error message saying:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
I get error message after I write this code:
ANDshow.show_held = '&July&'
As you can see from the below code, How do I select July from times_held_in_July?
SELECTevent_name,
DATENAME (MONTH, show_held) AS times_held_in_July
FROMevent,
show
WHEREevent.show_id = show.show_id
Result:
event_name times_held_in_July
DressageJuly
Jumping July
Led in July
Led in September
Led in May
DressageApril
DressageJuly
Flag and PoleJuly
SELECTevent_name,
DATENAME (MONTH, show_held) AS times_held_in_July
FROMevent,
show
WHEREevent.show_id = show.show_id
ANDshow.show_held = '&July&'
Result:

Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string/
I am trying to write a stored procedure that loops through the list of user tables, gets the record count for each one and write a record to an audit table with DATE, TABLENAME, RECORDCOUNT.I keep getting an error "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string".Here is the script...
DECLARE @table nvarchar(500)
DECLARE @sql nvarchar(520)
DECLARE CursorSelect CURSOR FOR
select table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables where table_name not like 'sys%' order by table_name

I've imported a CSV file into a table in SQL Server 2012. It's a large file, 140,000+ rows, so I couldn't covert it to Excel first to preserve the date format due to Excel's row limit. In the CSV file, there were 3 column with date data in "31-Aug-09" format, and the import automatically transformed these in "31AUG09" format (varchar(50)) in SQL Server. Now I need to convert these 3 columns from varchar to datetime so I could work with them in date format.
I've tried several things,e.g,
select
convert(datetime,
right(admdate,4)+left(admdate,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))
or
select
convert(datetime,
substring(admdate,6,4)+substring(admdate,1,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))
but keep getting the same error message (Msg 241) "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string".
All source and target date fields are defined as data type "smalldatetime". The "select" executes without error though when used with "insert into" it fails with the error:
Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Line 25: Conversion failed when converting character string to small date-time data type..I am converting from a character string to smalldatetime since the source and target date columns are "smalldatetime". All other columns for the source and target are nvarchar(255). I assume there is an implicit conversion that I don't understand. In a test, I validated that all dates selected evaluate ISDATE() to 1.
USE [SCIR_DataMart_FromProd_06_20_2014]
GO
IF OBJECT_ID ('[SCIR_DataMart_FromProd_06_20_2014].[dbo].[IdentifierLookup]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [SCIR_DataMart_FromProd_06_20_2014].[dbo].[IdentifierLookup]
[code]....
I have the following
Column Name : [Converted Date]
Data Type : varchar(50)
When I try and do month around the [Converted Date] I get the following error message
“Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.â€
My Query is
SELECT
month([Created Date])
FROM [FDMS_PartnerReporting].[Staging].[Salesforce_MarketingReporting]
SELECT * ,[Due]
 FROM [Events]
 Where Due >= getdate() +90
This returns the error: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string
Why would this be? How to cast or convert this so that it will work?Â
Hi all,
I have created a report in SSRS 2005 which is being viewed by users from different Time Zones.
I have a dataset which has a field of type datetime (UTC). Now I would like to display this Date according to the User Time Zone.
For example if the date is August 07, 2007 10:00 AM UTC,
then I would like to display it as August 07, 2007 03:30 PM IST if the user Time Zone is IST.
Similarly for other Time Zones it should display the time accordingly.
Is this possible in SSRS 2005?
Any pointers will be usefull...
Thanks in advance

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.
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.
