I'm having a hard time trying to transform a date that comes in for import in this format: 2015-04-08T18:00:48.000Z to DT_DBTIMESTAMP, I get potential loss of data error. (I've tried other SSIS data types.)
I had never seen this type of date before so I'm at a loss.
I have define two variable of Datetime type @Sdate and @Edate.
1. @Sdate = DATEADD ("DD", -5, GETDATE())
2. @Edate = GETDATE()
3. Using Forloopcontainer for pulling the data into batches
( @sdate = dateadd ( "HH" , 1, @sdate))
Now since i am using getdate() to define @Sdate. my variable gets data as ( 2014/12/08 11:43:00AM)
Converting GETDATE( 2014/12/08 11:43:00AM) to only date 2014/12/08 00:00:00AM.
I tired using DT_WSTR which works fine (converting datetime int String).
Problem occurs when i am going through For Loop container . Since i have used assignment of @Sdate is says its not allowed.
Hello,
I am currently trying to import following Excel Datasheet into my SQL 2005 Database with SSIS:
Column: Created
For example cells: 18.03.2008 17:47:43
So now I want to get the time, the year, the month and the day seperately out of this column for a later OLAP Analysis.
I created a Data Flow Task, where I imported the Excel source and set the SQL database as target. But now I don't know really how to work with the "Data Conversion" where to extract the dates. In Excel this is just a "customized" cell.
Anyone who can help me in this situation?
Thank you very much.

I am using vs 2010 and I have an .xls file that I am trying to import into SQL Server 2012, and I have most of it figured out, but I have a date field that is giving me problems, and what I would like to do is put that date in a variable so I can add it to every record in my SQL Table.
I am using a SQL Task Editor with an excel connection and I have no problem getting other data from the excel document and putting into my variable, its just the date that I have problems.
I created a simple SSIS package that takes a Flat File Source (CSV file) and Imports it into a OLE DB Destination ([TestCSVImport].dbo.Table1). I have other CSV files I'd like to import, but I don't want to import entries where column "ordereID" (PK) are the equal. Just want to import the new data found in the CSV files. I tried adding a Lookup in-between the Flat File Source and the OLE DB Destination, but I'm not sure how to accomplish only importing new data.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am inserting date and time data into a SQL Server 2012 Express table from an application. The application is providing the date and time as a string data type.

I asked this question below, but the answer was that the conversion will take place automatically, but I can't get that to happen. I have a flat file with an 8 position field that I identify as string (and I also tried date) that is yyyymmdd and it needs to go into the database field that is datetime format.

I'm a dts Sql2000 expert, but the SSIS thing is driving me crazy.

Why the inconsistency? Datetime is lenient in this regard - I can even do set @datetime += 0.5 (although the meaning is less intuitive).
Our database gets updated each week with text files spat out by a mainframe. Previously, the database was in Access; we copied and pasted the text files into Excel, ran macros on them to convert the data, then pasted the results directly into Access and this worked fine for us.
Now that we've moved the tables to SQL Server 2000, we're having problems with the data. We wanted to set up DTS packages for each file to just put them directly into SQL Server. This works for pretty much everything except for the dates.
The way the files are set up, they're comma delimited files with quotes around the text and nothing around the dates. The dates don't have any delimiters; they're just listed like 13012006. Every time we try to import these files into SQL, it gripes about the datatypes; we're trying to put the dates into datetime fields but SQL thinks they're strings. Eek! If we put date delimiters (like 13/01/2006) SQL pulls them in fine, but apparently the mainframe lacks the ability to put these delimiters in by itself and still run everything else OK. The person who writes the extracts has to do it in a language called 'Focus' which I've never heard of and don't know anything about, and he says what I'm asking for can't be done. OK...so now what?
I've tried and tried to convert these strings into dates using both CAST() and CONVERT() and just can't manage to do it. I know I'm missing something really obvious here; does anyone have any tips or advice? Thanks in advance.
How can I calculate a DateTime column by merging values from a Date column and only the time part of a DateTime column?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a a flat file that consists of 2 Columns of data that need to overwrite an existing Table that has 3 Columns of data. The Import fails because the 3rd column on the table is a Date stamp column with the Data Type of "smalldatetime" and does not allow Null data. If I were to delete this 3rd column from the table the import works great but I lose the DateTime column. How can I use the Import Wizard to import the first 2 columns from a text file and update the 3rd column with the date and time?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all, using transactional replication in SQL 05, I have a schema that is different at the subscriber and wanted to know the best approach for transforming the published data. For example, the subscriber is more normalized than the data being published causing 1 published record broken out into to many tables at the subscriber. Also need to applying scalar funtions to a few published columns before committing at subscriber.
I've read DTS, although backwards compatible, is being deprecated in a future release. I suppose I can use either SSIS or custom procedures. I didn't see any tie-in to SSIS in the system procedures to setup replication (only DTS). Any advice on which would work in this type of scenario?
Much appreciated, Pat
Hi,
I have read that the old method of using DTS to transform data during replication will not be supported in 2005.

I'd like to extend a package functionality.
I created it drag/drop way with hard-coded table names.
Now for the same source and destination connections I'd like somehow in a loop transform 20 source tables of the same structure to 20 destination tables of the same structure providing table names in a loop.
I also have in the package preparation SQL tasks such as dropping destination table if exists, and then re-creation , so it needs to consume a table name as parameter from my loop.
Is it doable ?

I have 2 Tables
Table 1, Row 1

Table 2 should have

How do I do that?

What is the best practice to get the date from a smalldatetime field without the time.
The table contains 5 minute readings for energy consumption in the column period.
Now i need to get all the readings form some dates.
SELECT dbo.TBL_Data.*
FROM dbo.TBL_Data
WHERE (Period IN (CONVERT(DATETIME, '2003-12-31', 102), CONVERT(DATETIME, '2004-01-01', 102)))
this result contains only the readings for the timestamp 00:00
so how to select the whole day ?
kind regards

Hi,
I have used smalldatetime datatype to store my date and time values. i want to store just the date or time but the problem is it stores both the date and time. For eg, if i add the the date 03/11/2004, it also the stores the current time automatically. so the new value will be something like 03/11/2004 10:00:00 AM where i want just 03/11/2004. further problem is even though i managed to store just the date like 03/11/2004 in the database, whole date and time shows up when i display it in my pages.
any help will be appreciated.
thanx,
