Transact SQL :: Changing Date Formats When Importing Data

Aug 9, 2015

I’m retrieving Yahoo quotes into my database and have run into an issue when the dates sometimes change format in the csv file retrieved.

I am retrieving  yahoo quotes via powershell, then running a package to import data to my table. This generally works expect when the yahoo date format changes.
 
In the yahoo csv file, the dates normally come through in dd/mm/yyyy format. I find when a quote is old the format changes to mm/dd/yyyy, just for that particular quote.

When this happens, the package fails because the quote date format does not match my destination table format. i.e. mm/dd/yyyy vs dd/mm/yyyy
 
When this occurs, I would like to skip the records in mm/dd/yyyy format altogether and have the rest of the quotes imported.
 
One approach I can think of is to import the dates as a text type and do some data validation / conversion once imported but it feels like adding unnecessary steps.

Is there some other way I can achieve this within the process I already have?

Importing Data From Various Data Sources With Non Standard Formats

Mar 19, 2007

Hi all :)

I'm wondering if SSIS will be the solution to the problem I'm working on.

Some of our customers give us an Excel sheet with data they want to insert or update in the database.

I've created a package that will take an Excel sheet, do some data conversion so the data types match up and after that I use a Slowly Changing Data component to create the insert/update commands.

This works great. If a customer adds a new row to the Excel sheet or updates an existing row changes are nicely reflected in the database.

But now I€™ve got the following problem. The column names and the order of the columns in the Excel sheet are not standard and in the future it could happen a customer doesn't even use an Excel sheet but something totally different.

Can I use SSIS for this? Is it possible to let the user set the mappings trough some sort of user interface? I€™ve looked at programmatically creating the package but I€™ve got to say that€™s quit hard to do€¦ It would be easier to write the whole thing myself than to create the package trough code ;)

If not I thought about transforming the data in code before I pass it on to the SSIS package in something like XML. That way I can use standard column names and data types.

So how should I solve this problem? Use SSIS or not?

Thnx :)

Transact SQL :: BULK INSERT Not Importing Correct Data For Field?

May 14, 2015

I am using a BCP format file to import a CSV file. The file looks like the following:

"01","02"

The format file looks like the following:

6.0                                                                                     
2                                                                                      
1      SQLCHAR    0      0       """         0    ""
2      SQLINT       0      0       "",""     1   MROS
3      SQLINT       0      0       ""
"   2   MROF

When both the two fields are set to SQLCHAR data types the data imports successfully without the quotes as 01 and 02.  These fields will always be numbers and I want them as integers so I set the data type to int in the database and SQLINT in the format file.  The results was that the 01 became 12592 and the 02 became 12848.  where these numbers are coming from?

Good Ol` Date Formats And BCP

Oct 26, 1998

Hey all,
I`m trying to BCP in some data from a csv file. It has dates formatted like d/mm/yy and when run BCP it errors. Of course...SQL language is set to English(United States) so it wants it in mm/dd/yy. But from what I`ve read in the archive, from Sharon at least, is that only in BCP will it use the NT date setting which for me is English(Australian) or d/mm/yy. So I`m thinking, `that`s ok` my data`s dates like d/mm/yy and nt dates like d/mm/yy it`ll bcp in fine - but no.

What can I do? I cant change my sql setting and I cant change the way I dump my dates to the csv! Suggestions......

TY
Simon

Dreaded SQL Date Formats (UK/US)

Jan 18, 2008



Hi Folks

I have a SQL date problem that I just cant get to the bottom of.
A SSIS package runs that inserts dates into a SQL table from strings in the format dd/mm/yyyy
This package is run from within a SQL job.
Unfortunately the dates are being interpreted as mm/dd/yyyy. I have checked every possible date setting that I can, but nothing seems to work (SQL Agent account lang is set to British English, collations, Locale ID setting in the SSIS package, Lang of account that runs the SSIS service).

When the package is run in BIDS it inserts the dates correctly, just not from a SQL job.
I have tried inserting SET DATEFORMAT dmy in an Execute SQL Task in the SSIS package but that does not work either.

The baffling thing is that it works on one server but not another. Both servers have the same collation, regional settings and use the same SQL Agent account.

Also when SELECT @@Language is used is this determined by the lang setting against the user ?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Server Configuration For Date Formats

Jan 16, 2004

Hi,

I'm using 2 DB servers, with MS SQL Server 2000 on each of them, one for development and one for production.

When I want to query some information, filtered on a date in the WHERE clause, I have to use DATE = '<MM/DD/YYYY>' on the development machine, and DATE = '<DD/MM/YYYY>' on the production one, to get the result I want, and I can't figure out why (I'm just a lambda user). I would like to configure the servers so that both use the <DD/MM/YYYY> format.

Could somebody help me on this case ?

Thanks in advance...

Oct 23, 2007



I am bring a date from a OLE DB Source (SQL Command) as [select cast(convert(varchar,getdate(),101) as varchar(10))] to a Flat File Destination (CSV File). The data in the source is show as "1/1/2007", which is how I need it to display in the file. The flat file defaults to showing the data as "1/1/2007 00:00:00." I did change the destination field to a String, and still, I geting the timestamp. I tried using a data conversion transformation, and I am getting bargage data when converting the date to a string.

Can any one give me insight on how to populate a date into a comma delimeted file as "1/1/2007", not "1/1/2007 00:00:00."


Thanks in advanced.

EndDate : 31-Dec-2015

It should return all the data which was active for that date range even if it was only for one day.If no data found for that date range, check the last record before start date and and if its active then it should be returned else not.

I though of creating a function and pass primary key with date range and return the final status but that doesn't seems like an optimized query.

Importing From Excel Into SQL Server 2005 Changing Values To NULL

Mar 9, 2007

I can't figure this one out...

I have an Excel spreadsheet (Excel 2003 format) with a column of values. The column is formated to General (although I've tried it formated to text). The values are alphanumeric. However, there are a few values that are completely numeric.

Example:

_ITEMNUMBER_

1-528

K214-5

184PR

45678

As can be seen, the last value is completely numeric. I am importing into a table with one column that is formated as nvarchar(50).

I use dtswizard.exe and do a simple import into the table and the alphanumeric values import just fine but anytime a value is completely numeric it has a NULL value in the table instead of the value that should be there.

I've tried changing the format of the column to nchar, char, etc, etc. Always comes in NULL.

Any ideas?
