I HAVE ONE COLUMN CONTAING THE INTEGER TYPE DATA COMING in UNIX DATE FORMAT. NEED TO CONVERT IT TO THE SQL SERVER DATE TIME FORMAT.
NOTE: UNIX IS STORING THE DATE IN SECONDS STARTING FROM 1970/1/1
ANYBODY CAN HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
e.g. The UNIX date time is 973101026 need to be converted to SQL DATE TIME
Using DTS package in 2000 version, I am dumping TXT file contents into SQL Table,
I have one column having date in format YYYYMMDD(20070929) and corresponding column in SQL is datetime, but it fails on data type mismatch.
I have no choice of making date column in SQL to string or Varchar etc,
is there any way to make that date column in SQL to convert the value upon transformation from format (YYYYMMDD) to M/DD/YYYY (9/29/2007).
many many thanks,

Hi there.
I'm trying to extract data from my SQL server & everything in the script I've got is working (extracting correct data) except for one field - which is for the most part it's off by +2 days (on a few occasions - I see it off by just +1 day or even +3, but it's usually the +2 days).
I'm told that it's due to the conversion formula - but - since SQL is not my native language, I'm at a bit of a loss.
The DB table has the date field stored as a type: CHAR (as opposed to 'DATE')
Can anyone out there help?
Please advise. Thanks.
Best.

Hi,
We are trying to move our application from SQL2005 to SQL2005, we are using 2005 jdbc driver 1.1.
The problem we have is, when a date is retrieved from the database, only the year part got correctly, but the date is automatically set to January 1 of that year. The interesting thing is this problem doesn't occur on local development environment (developer's windows platform), it only happens when we deploy the application to production server (unix).
Does anyone know what is going on, how to fix it?
Thanks.

Hi All,
How to create a text file in UNIX format using Flat File connection manager. By default when we create a connection manager for flat files it is taking "CRLF" as the delimeter.
I beleive the format of the file will be decided based on the control line feed character at the end of each row. There are different control line feeds for different operating systems.
CR - Mac OS (Carraige return)
LF - UNIX (Line Feed)
CRLF - Windows. (Carriage return Line Feed)
Correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am bulk inserting the data from a file into a table using the following format.
9.0
1
1 SQLCHAR 0 10 "
" 1 MSISDN SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
This works perfectly for me.
But my problem is that the firmat may not be generated in Windows and i can't user "
" as row delimeter.
It could be generated in Unix and want to use LF as the row delimeter.
Questions :
1) How do i specify this kind of new line (LF ) in formatfile?
2) Is there anyway that i can specify both the delimeters and let it use which ever is appropriate ?
Please provide some inputs on this??
Thank u so much

A Unix/Network [rtdpmin one our sister agencies is trying to solve a problem that really does not need to be solved, but ....
The sister agency uses Information Builder's WebFocus on Unix. When they try to read my data warehouse in SQL Server 2000 it times out on them (on their end and they claim they cannot fix it) (This is using the supplied WebFocus ODBC/JDBC driver for SQL Server). This has lead to accusations of us not letting them read the data.
After much gnashing of teeth over "if you do data and data analysis for a living, why do I have to show you how to set-up an ODBC connection" we have shown them how to connect to the data, read it, and transfer it using MS-ACCESS, EXCEL, and more importantly SPSS. This is not good enough because they cannot figure out how to put it into WebFocus.
Their network person has come-up with the brilliant idea of reading the .mdf directly by installing Windows for Unix on the Unix side and then just pointing to the .mdf file and "reading it ".
Unless I have missed something somwhere (I will admit possible), I know you need a driver to read MS-SQL and that driver in every example I have seen could care less about the physical location of the .mdf file. It wants to know what database, what server (ip or name) and what security/login to use.
Could someone give me a more "technical answer" or even Microsoft's party line so I do not have this person mucking around with my production server trying to acomplish the impossible.
Hi
I am trying get my VB6 application to insert a record into a table (SQL Express) which has a datetime column but it would not process if the data format is differ to *American Date format*.
The date() function in VB returns 15/11/2006 which is in Australian Date format (DD/MM/YYYY) according to my setting in "Reginal and Lanuage Option-> Locale 0> English (Australia)" setting.
I get the following error:
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Server KITSQLEXPRESS, Line 1
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
The statement has been terminated.
My computer's locale is set to English (Australia) and I expect the datetime format would follow what is set in system locale
I've read an article somewhere on the net about how SQL 2005 eliminate the confusion of date conversion when read/write datetime records into a table...but it seems to me that it is still as in-flexible as MS Access
Is there a setting in the database that takes care of it?
Thanks
Hi-
I am trying the following example.
create table mytest (a float, b float(8))
declare @a FLOAT
declare @b varchar(10)
set @b = '0.4'
set @a = @b
PRINT @a
The result is 0.40000000000000002.
Can some one tell me what am I doing wrong? Appreciate your time.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi Everybody, I have SQL Server running on Win NT. My question is : Is there a way to change the format Of date type fields (datetime and smalldatetime) from the US Date format which is for ex: July 13 1998 to 13 July 1998. I know I can use several functions to do it elsewhere, but I want it to become my default format for the new columns I create in new tables.
Thank you
Hi all,
I'm getting alot of date converstion trouble with my application when the end user's regional settings is not the same as the sql server box... I am using normal sqlcommands to enter my data into the sql db (vb.net), and alot of times I get users who's application breaks, because of this.
My question is... Is there some T-SQL command in sql server which will tell me the date formats it expects?
What I want to do then is query the server for these settings on startup of my application, and then set my application to use that date format for all it's date functions... This way, I'll eliminate the errors my application has to deal with.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi.
I'm localized in Greece and the date format used is dd/mm/yyyy.
So I have is that I made a page with a callendar. The user picks a date and this date is stored to an SQL server. But here comes the problem. When I try to write to the server the above format ( dd/mm/yyyy ) is not accepted because SQL wants date in format ( mm/dd/yyyy). So if day is bigger than 12 I get error or if is less than 13 wrong date is stored in the SQL.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Hi Dear All DBAs
Does anyone know whether you can specify date format(EG dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy) for SQL server when you install it?
It seems to me that it always assume US date format when converting a date string to a datatime variable.
You can easily try this by running query
Select convert(smalldatetime, "30/5/2000"). It would say "...out of range..." until you use "5/30/2000". It does not seem to relate to NT regional setting(I already set it to our local setting dd/mm/yyyy).
You can use "set dateformat" in the application to get around it.
But I would like to change the default format to dd/mm/yyyy.
Any solution? (EG reinstall SQL server?)
SQL 2k w2k server sp2
When I first installed the SQL server on my server, the default date
format was mm/dd/yy. Now I need to change that to dd/mm/yy in
regional settings, but its still not reflected in the DB's in SQL (its
still mm/dd/yy).
Is it possible to change it in SQL without a complete reinstallation
of the server?

Hi,
I'm working with a table with more than 2 million rows. The problem is that the table has a field called "ShipDate" of type nvarchar. When I try to change the data type to DateTime sql server throws a data conversion error.
I noticed that the date format is as follow: 2006-10-23, so, is there a way sql server takes this field and change it using the field values and applying the correct format? meaning: 10/23/2006
thanks a lot

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?

Does anyone know if its possible to configure sql server 2000 so it reads in the date in a different format. Right now, it takes the date in the following format month day year. I want it to take in day month year instead.
I am using asp.net and that is properly configured to give day month year, but then this date is sent to sql server, i get into problems

I have the following code and the result set is coming out as nvarchar. So, when I create a report in SSRS, it is not formatting as a date.
, CASE
WHEN isnull(cv2.Accepted,0)='True' AND cv2.Visit ='V2' AND cv2.StepNo='3' THEN 'Y'
ELSE CONVERT(varchar,[dbo].[fn_Get_WorkingDays] (co.PlannedGoLiveDt, -10))
END AS 'System Verified'
How can we identify the Date Format from a String in SQL Server.
I might get an input from external source as "MM-DD-YYYY" or "DD-MM-YYYY" or "YYYY-MM-DD" or "YYYY-DD-MM", all i have to do is return the same with Current Date in the same format as Input.
Ex :
1. "02-20-2013" -> "05-28-2015"
2. "2014-04-19" -> "2015-05-28"
Any method to identify the DateFormat then it would have made the job very easy.
I need to handle date format "41981".
