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".

This question is from a deveoper that I work with:
In SQL Server 7.0:
Do you know of a query or sp which will return the list of objects in a DB, sorted in descending order by last changed date?
I need to generate a list of all the stored procedures created or modified since a specified date. I can get the created ones, but I can't see how to get the modified ones.
Thanks!
Any ideas on how to tackle this one?
Thanks,
Brad

I have implemented a login audit on a particular system which catches the users login details, including their application logon name and NT username.
What I want to do is report on users who have logged on to the software using someone else's workstation (i.e. logged on to more than one workstation).
Here's some sample stuff to play with
DECLARE @logins table (
loginName char(20)
, ntUsername char(25)
, loginDate datetime
)
--Insert test data. Please note that loginName and ntUsername are rarely the same
INSERT INTO @logins (loginName, ntUsername, loginDate)
SELECT 'Amy', 'Amy', '20070101' UNION
SELECT 'Amy', 'Amy', '20070102' UNION
SELECT 'Amy', 'Amy', '20070103' UNION
SELECT 'Bob', 'Bob', '20070101' UNION
SELECT 'Bob', 'Bob', '20070102' UNION
SELECT 'Bob', 'Amy', '20070103' UNION --Bob has logged on using 2 different NT accounts
SELECT 'Cal', 'Cal', '20070102' UNION
SELECT 'Cal', 'Amy', '20070102' UNION --So has cal
SELECT 'Dom', 'Dom', '20070102' UNION
SELECT 'Dom', 'Dom', '20070102'
Any ideas? I just can't think of the logic needed to get what I want.
Any extra info needed - just ask!
Cheers

got a quick question guys.
if i use this to parse the current date to the right side of the time.
right(getdate(),7) - i'll get something like 7:30AM.
i also have Times stored in a column of a table, but as a string not a date time.
it seems to compare okay, but when the time is say 1:30PM and im comparing it if its greater than or equal to (>=)to 7:30AM - it doesnt return.
i think its ignoring the AM/PM Meridian Values and just comparing the numbers.
is there a conversion i could use to do this?
ive tried a military time conversion i found but it converts to hrs,min,milliseconds.
convert(char(8),(convert(datetime,current_timestam p,113)),114)
if anyone knows a good way to do this - i would appreciate it.
thanks again

I've been reading a bit about full-text searches, phonetic values and match-queries and just don't know where to begin.
What I'm eventually going to do, is make procedures for matching names, finding records that are close matches and presenting them in a subform below the actual member that you look up.
E.g. if an employee looks up Sergej, he or she will also see Sergey, Sergei etc. below the membersheet.
BOL isn't very practical in examples, and its about 7 years since I took my SQL-Server 7.0 MS courses, plus I've primarily worked as an administrator up until last fall, not a developer. So where to begin?
Thanks in advance,
Trin

What is the best method for ignoring the time in datetime comparisons. Say I want all records on 07/08/1996 regardless of their time. Or all records between 01/01/1999 and 04/01/1999 even if one of the records on 04/01/1999 had a time of 16:32:22

This looks like a bug - hopefully somebody can explain what is actuallyhappening. Using SQL Server 2000 SP4.Here's a repro script with comments:/* repro table */CREATE TABLE dbo.T (ID int NOT NULL,Time datetime NOT NULL,CONSTRAINT PK_T PRIMARY KEY (ID, Time))GO/* the problem does not happen without this index */CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_T ON dbo.T (Time)GO/*sample row - note thatCAST('2006-04-08 13:14:58.870' AS smalldatetime) = '2006-04-08 13:15:00'*/INSERT INTO dbo.T (ID, Time)VALUES (1, '2006-04-08 13:14:58.870')GO/*This does not return any rows - why?The comparison should evaluate to TRUE.*/SELECT *FROM dbo.TWHERE CAST(Time as smalldatetime) >= '2006-04-08 13:15:00'GO/*This does return the row.*/SELECT *FROM dbo.TWHERE CAST(DATEADD(millisecond, 0, Time) as smalldatetime) >='2006-04-08 13:15:00'GODROP TABLE dbo.TGOThe difference between the two SELECT statements is that the first one usesa non-clustered index seek, whereas the second one uses a scan of the sameindex.--(remove a 9 to reply by email)

I have a pretty intensive query that I need performance help on. There are ~1 million de-normalized 'adjustment rows' that I am checking about 20 different conditions on, but each of these conditions has multiple possibile entries.
For example, one condition is 'what counties apply' to each row? Now I could cross-join a table listing every county that applies to every row, which would mean 1 million rows X 3,000 potential counties. And for every one of these 20 condition, I'd need to be joining tables for each of these lookups.
Instead, I was told to do a binary comparison of some sort, but I'm not exactly sure of how to do it. This way, I'm not needing to do any joins, but just have a large binary string, with bits representing each county.
Since each query I know the exact county searched, I can see if each row applies (along with each of the other conditions I must check vs the other binary strings).
I accomplished this using:
AND Substring(County, @CountyIndex, 1) = '1'
I have a character string for county, which is painfully slow when running all of these checks.
My hope is if the county in the lookup is 872, I can just scan the table, looking at bit #872 for the county field in each record, rather than joining huge tables for every one of these fixed fields I need to test.
My guess is the fastest way is some sort of binary string comparisons, but I can't find any good resources on the subject. PLEASE HELP!

Our dev team wants to introduce a complex key, which is made up of
EventDate datetime2(5) = ‘2015-10-22 10:19:59.12345’
ConsumerID bigint = 1234
SiteID tinyint = 15
EventDate will be converted to a bigint and then to a hex value
= 2015-10-22 10:19:59.12345 = 2015102210195912345 = 1BF714C8A0D4F699
ConsumerID will be converted to a hex value
= 1234 = 4D2
SiteID will be converted to a hex value
= 15 = F
The hex values will then be concatenated together and stored as a string (varchar). The application will handle the creation of the complex key
= ‘1BF714C8A0D4F699-4D2-F’
I am trying to argue against this approach and get them to store the values in their native form, in separate columns as a natural key.
To make matters worse, we need to use partitioning, where the partition boundary will be on a hexed datetime2(5) at weekly intervals. I was really hoping a proof of concept would show that hex string comparison could potentially put a row under a wrong partition, but so far, on an 8 million rowset, it is working fine.
For example, in the proof of concept, right partition boundary:
= '1BF398D53DFA1800'
(2014-12-15 00:00:00.00000)
contains rows
= '1BF3983242B9C000-1-2'
(2014-12-08 00:00:00.00000-1-2)
Through to
= '1BF398C373960580-2FAF3003-2'
(2014-12-14 23：59：00.00000-800010243-2）
The prior partition boundary is 1
= 'BF3983242B9C000'
(2014-12-08 00:00:00.00000)
How is this working, given that the string lengths (varchar) are different and the row value contains dashes and the partition boundaries are smaller in length without dashes? How varchar string comparison is working here?

I have column with location for all reports, dashboards, images, pages in URL format from Sharepoint audit database. Like
sites/fm/finance/PowerPivot Gallery/FinancialStatement.rdlx
sites/ea/Mn_medical/Pages/Medical_DP/3 Site Compare.aspx
There are millions of rows like the above URLs. I need to separate all the strings from that ULR separated by "/" and make column for each so that I can create a hierarchy in tabular model. How do I write a sql for that. I could get first one and last ones with these kinds of substring:
SUBSTRING( b.DocLocation , LEN(b.DocLocation) - CHARINDEX('/',REVERSE(b.DocLocation)) + 2 , LEN(b.DocLocation) )
This gives me last piece of ULR. How I do I get all the middle pieces of URL?

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am pleased to offer, free of charge, the following string functions Transact-SQL:
AT(): Returns the beginning numeric position of the nth occurrence of a character expression within another character expression, counting from the leftmost character.
RAT(): Returns the numeric position of the last (rightmost) occurrence of a character string within another character string.
OCCURS(): Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression (including overlaps).
OCCURS2(): Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression (excluding overlaps).
PADL(): Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the left side.
PADR(): Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the right side.
PADC(): Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the both sides.
CHRTRAN(): Replaces each character in a character expression that matches a character in a second character expression with the corresponding character in a third character expression.
STRTRAN(): Searches a character expression for occurrences of a second character expression, and then replaces each occurrence with a third character expression. Unlike a built-in function Replace, STRTRAN has three additional parameters.
STRFILTER(): Removes all characters from a string except those specified.
GETWORDCOUNT(): Counts the words in a string.
GETWORDNUM(): Returns a specified word from a string.
GETALLWORDS(): Inserts the words from a string into the table.
PROPER(): Returns from a character expression a string capitalized as appropriate for proper names.
RCHARINDEX(): Similar to the Transact-SQL function Charindex, with a Right search.
ARABTOROMAN(): Returns the character Roman numeral equivalent of a specified numeric expression (from 1 to 3999).
ROMANTOARAB(): Returns the number equivalent of a specified character Roman numeral expression (from I to MMMCMXCIX).
AT, PADL, PADR, CHRTRAN, PROPER: Similar to the Oracle functions PL/SQL INSTR, LPAD, RPAD, TRANSLATE, INITCAP.
Plus, there are CHM files in English, French, Spanish, German and Russian.
More than 6000 people have already downloaded my functions. I hope you will find them useful as well.

AB-123
CDW-32
declare @First_Part varchar(3)
declare @Second_Part varchar(5)
I want to split the string with delimiter '-' and store as first part and second part.
I saw few sample functions to split a string but these return table of values.
I simply want first part and second part.
In above examples context:
@First_Part = 'AB'
@Second_Part = '123'

I have a parameter called Id in my SP which will be of nvarchar data type and i'm going to get the multiple ids at a time seperated by commas in that parameter from the application. Now my requirement is to update a table with these comma seperated ids in seperate rows.
For example, if i have 2 parameters called Id1 and Id2. Id1 will contain only one value and will be of int data type and Id2 will be of nvarchar data type as i can get multiple ids delimited by a comma from the application.
Suppose Id1 = 1 and Id2 = '1,2,3,4'. Then I have to update id2 in the tables seperately like wherever Id1 is '1' i need to update Id2 column for 4 rows with the value 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively in different rows.
how can i do this in T-SQL? How can i split the data of parameter Id2 in 4 different rows?
