Table contains field defined as text. First 12 characters will be date format 'mm/dd/yyyy'. then the next 3 characters could be:
9A, 12P, 3P, 7A or LTL
I would like to convert '9A' to be 09:00AM, so that I can sort by that converted field.
'12P to be 12:00PMÂ Â Â and so on....
I have tried various form of case with substring and convert commands, but cant' get the solution. I can not change text field to varchar in table.

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".
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
I need to take a temporary table that has various times stored in a text field (4:30 pm, 11:00 am, 5:30 pm, etc.), convert it to miltary time then cast it as an integer with an update statement kind of like:
Update myTable set MovieTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(5),GETDATE(),108), ':', '')
how this can be done while my temp table is in session?
I hope to update a DateTime column value with a Time input parameter.  Poor attempt below but it looks like the @ApptTime param is coming in as 10:45:00.0000000 and I might have an existing @SendOnDate as: 2015-10-05 07:00:00.000...I hope to end up with 2015-10-05 10:45:00.000
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SendEditUPDATE]
@QuePoolID int=null
,@ApptTime time(7)
,@SendOnDate datetime

how do you convert a numeric to time format if it shows hours but a decimal figure for Minutes. For example if I have hours in decimal format like this
28.5000
but I want to show it in this format:
28:30:00
where 28 = hours, 30 = minutes, 00 = seconds
Thanks.
In Reporting Services, I have a decimal time field (18,2) in my report which I wish to display as HH:MM. Similarly, I req a sum of total hours and minutes as a summary. Whats the expression for doing this. I've googled far and wide and cannot find a definitve solution.
Thanks.
I have a field that currently is displaying time in decimal form. I would like to convert it to time format. For example: when it displays 6.46 I would like it to be converted to 00:06:27. Can I do this within reporting services?

I have a database table with 2 numeric fields. The values to be inserted into these fields come from text boxes in an ASP.NET page. So in the parameters to add into these fields I simply use 'textbox1.text' & textbox2.text'.
One of the fields accepts the data within the text box and adds it into the appropriate numeric data field in the table. However on the other text box I get an error message 'Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric.'
Does anyone know why this occurs just on the one entry and not the other?, and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get around this please let me know.
Many Thanks

Hi all,
My organization have a web-based application and needs it to support multilingual so we will be adapting our app to use unicode. However, one of our problems is to convert existing data from text to ntext. I couldn't find anything that document this. What is the best way to do that? I would like to be able to migrate the data from an existing text column to another ntext column in the table.
If I can't do that, what are the options? If it's possible, I would like to be able to do this in sql script.
Thanks a mil, in advance.

How to convert a SQL table into Text file? I have a table and I want to extract the values with the field names above to a text file. The query should also allow me to define the starting position of the fields in the text file.

When converting a text into a date format using the DateTime String transformation I get the following error.
'The number of failing rows exceeds the maximum specified.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid date format'
The dates is stored as a text like this: mmddyy and I want to convert it to a date field in the table. Any help would be great.
Hello all,
New to the forums here. I'm not a beginner with SQL, but nor am I a SQL developer - network engineer who knows some scripting and the fundamentals of DB design/administration. There's the background.
I have a database of client information where a date is keyed in and stored as text. Because this is entered by end-users, the way it's entered varies - 1/1/2001, 01/01/2001, etc. Most use "1/1/2001" (note the date is not the same for each record)
I have 4,000 records to update and I need to try to convert the text string to the correct date - changing 1/1/2005 to the same date in proper date/time format. My database uses datetime as an integer calculating the number of days from 12/30/1800. Today's date would be 75508. Time is separated into different fields.
I can do the work to update the text to a single format to make the conversion easier, but I am having trouble locating the proper way to write a convert function to do this. I've searched online (which is how I came here) and have searched the forums without luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
