I'm developing one leave application form in that I've declared "No of days"column as nvarchar type..If the user taking half(1/2) day leave then have to covert that 1/2 into 4 Â hours itseems..since I'm trying to display the table data on datagridview while displaying that half day in gridview again it has to conver 4 hours into 1.2 format..
My Table design: Â Create table Leave_Form ( Â Employee_id int primary key, Â Emp_Date date, Â Emp_name nvarchar(50),
I have a table that has a DATE field named. AccountingDate that is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. It's not a VARCHAR field. I simply want to convert this date field into the format MM/DD/YYYY and call it New_Accounting_Date.
I've played with various combinations of CAST & CONVERT but haven't been able to get it to work.
Below is my latest effort which returns the error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
What code would work to return a MM/DD/YYYY value for New_Accounting_Date?
Select GLBATCH.AccountingDate, convert(GLBATCH.AccountingDate as date),101) AS New_Accounting_Date from GLBATCH
I want to change decimal precision dynamically without rounding value
For example
10.56788 value for 2 decimal precision is 10.56. 10.56788 value for 3 decimal precision is 10.567. ---CASE 1 without dynamic parameter--------- DECLARE @DECIMALVALUE AS tinyint SELECT CONVERT(DECIMAL(10,2),500000.565356) As Amount
[Code] ....
I am getting error as follows......
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 Incorrect syntax near '@DECIMALVALUE'
This decimal precision format value will vary company to company ...
I am stuck at one place, where I have to convert CSV format file data into SAP IDOC format file. In SSIS we don't have any such SAP adapter (though we have .NET Data Provider for mySAP suite [SSIS SAP Adapter] but this is still not fully supported by Microsoft, plus it doesn't have feature to convert data into IDOC format) that can do this. Can someone here please provide me some pointers on any third party adapters available in market to do this job or if anyone has already developed some custom approach to achieve this task?
Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.
I have a table which stores date-of-birth in varchar 19861231(yyyymmdd). A view takes this data. I want to store this date as mmddyyyy in the view. How can we achieve this?
E.g, i have a store procedure. The start date is long date (4/15/2007 3:00pm). i want to select the start date with a particular date (short date format 4/15/2006). Thanks in advance.
I am posting this information simply as an FYI. This is in reference to the MS-SQL command "CONVERT"
I spent over 2 hours :rolleyes: screwing around trying to find out different ways of formatting dates from MS-SQL into something that makes sense for what I needed. I googled everything I could think of and found multiple references that said the info is available on MSDN.. but I could not find it. What I did find were thousands of relatively useless references to "format codes" for converting dates, but with no references to what the different format codes would ultimately yield, or what format codes were available to use.
What I ended up doing was writing a small script to generate a list of all of the variations I could find.
Below is the script, and the output that it yielded. Now, before I get bombarded with "there is a better way" I know there probably is. But this is the way that I needed to do it this particular time. If there are technical errors in my explanation, anyone is welcome to correct them. But after 2 hours of messing with this for what should have been a super simple single .0009 second command, I am just irritated beyond belief that it had to be this complicated to find any useful information on the subject. That is why I am creating this. Hopefully it helps someone else.
The format for the MS SQL CONVERT command is :
CONVERT( length_of_output, date, format_code )
length_of_output : is exactly that . the number of characters that you want returned as your result. If you use a length of 6 you will only see the first 6 characters that are returned. I found the longest valid length to be 28 characters, but I went as high as 128 just for giggles and to see if it revealed any secrets.
date : is a valid date, I used directly the getdate() function
format_code : well.. that's the tricky part. See below.
What I did was ran a script that originally went from 1 to 20,000. It crashed at 15. Apparently the format codes are not totally sequential. So I put in an on error resume next.
What I found is that : 1) the codes are not uninterrupted sequential numbers. 2) the code output repeats every 255 3) negative numbers can be used, but its pointless. 4) useful valid codes are in the ranges of : 0-14, 20-25, 100-114, 120, 121, 126, 130 and 131 5) 0-25 typically represent "short dates" with the year being only 2 digits, but there are exceptions 6) 100 and above always returned a 4 digit year. the exception was 130 and 131, I don't know what it was trying to do.
Here is the script i ran
<% on error resume next
for iintCounter = 0 to 256 SQL = "SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(128), getdate(), " & iintCounter & " ) as TheDate" Set rsTheDateFormat = TheDatabase.Execute(SQL)
I have this stored procedure, and im trying to figured out how i can convert the date field into something i can actually sort in the right order in reporting services. Such as mm-dd-yy , whats the SQL code for doing that?
I have a column of integer data type that contains a millisecond data(for example 54013). I want to convert this value to the corresponding "hh:mm:ss" format. Can anybody help me with this issue?
The data file contains the answers given to questions asked during the course of an interview. This file contains data only for completed interviews. The file is ASCII based, and contains data in a card column format. This means that each record is spread over several rows in the file €“ called cards. Currently 39 cards make up one completed record, although this may change over time. There are 80 columns per row.
I have three differents sub-reports, each one inside a table object.
Each table has a property "page break-before" enable.
When I execute the view-report in HTML 4.0 format, the reports are executed with success, but when I export to PDF format, the property "page break-before" inserts a blank page at the end of each sub-report. How can I do to suppress the blank-pages when exporting to PDF format ??

Let me start by saying that I'm brand new to SQL Server 2005 and SSIS. I'm using the import wizard in SQL2005 to import from a flat file into a table and everything works fine except for dates. A typical date in my flat file is 01-JAN-06. 01 represents the day of the week, JAN represents the month and 06 represents the year. The flat file also contains date values of 00-XXX-00 which represent no date. For example a column containing last purchase date data would look like this:"DateOfLastOrder" "01-JAN-06" "02-JAN-06" "00-XXX-00" "03-DEC-05"The value of 00-XXX-00 means that there is no purchase date.I want to bring these columns into my table and replace the 00-XXX-00 values with a NULL.
The table Data Type is datetime.
If I use the import wizard using the example above I get this error message:

If I remove the 00-XXX-00 values and import something like this:
The data is comming in from a CSV as a string. I am happy to get the day and year, its just converting the month (eg "AUG") into I a valid number.
I was thinking Lookup, but that only seems to work against a datasource. I can create a lookup table for it to work against but that seemed a bit clunky.

I need to open and read a text file using C#. Once I have read all of the values from the text file, I will need to insert some of those values into a SQL Server database table. One of the values read from the text file will be a date in the format YearMonthDay. For example: 20070601 So my problem is that I don't know how to convert this date into the date format that is expected for a SQL server datetime value. Can someone help me out. How do I do this?
i have 12 different sql server tables. all are binded to one gridview. i have kept one admin user to view the details of the 12 tables in a gridview (pagesize=5). now the admin wants to generate 12 CSV files from the 12 tables (that is, he has to choose the table name from a dropdown and then has to click "Generate" button. CSV file name should be like this "<table_name>_<date>" ). also want to put links(dynamically [after generation of those csv files]) in a separate page to download those csv files. how to do this in asp.net (C#)? its urgent.
