Urgent: A Simple Question About The Most Asked Topic - DATE
May 7, 2004
Hi,
The subject say it all :)
I have a field which stores date which the datetime datatype... The problem is that I am also getting time information in this stored field.
I just want to extract the date part in dd-Mmm-yy format (e.g. 07-May-04). I tried convert (char (8), MyDateField, 112) but it gives me date in yyyymmdd format. How do I get the results in dd-Mmm-yy format instead?
Thanks.

Hello All,
I'm having a little problem in witting an SQL statement.
I'm sure there is a simple solution for it but its just not clicking with me!.
Anywayz,
I'm trying to write a statement that in the FROM clause, there is a formula, and i would like to assign conditions to this formula in the WHERE Clause
Ex:
SELECT DateValue(FLD_AS_STRING) FROM Table1 WHERE ???
I want the statement to convert the FLD_AS_STRING field (which is in string format) to Date format, and in the same time i want to only view fields that it's FLD_AS_STRING is greater than today's date (after it is converted to Date)?
How can i do that in this statement?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards

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,

This pertains to SQL Server 2000Do others have the problems that we have in our company, where we havea field from a table, and need to know all the SQL Server processesthat may change that value? I'm still hoping somebody can tell me of atool, or set of queries or something that will document the fields inthe tables and the processes that affect them, along with the valuesthat it sets. For example:TableA.FieldA:sp_InsertNewRec: sets field to Null when new record createdsp_ChangeStatus: sets field to the value of the parameter passed intr_LogChanges: sets field to be the current datetimeMaybe we're just too sloppy at my company, but it seems to be fairlyobvious need to have some sort of automated process that can providethat documentation. With thousands of fields, hundreds of storedprocedures, triggers, DTS's etc..., documenting this information is aVERY daunting task. Any help at all would be appreciated.Gary

Hello,
I understand that SQL Express is a free tool and its placed between Access and SQL 2000 / 2005.
I also understand that it supports Database upto 4 GB, which is quiet sufficient for any small or medium sized
company.
My question is a bit confusing... let me explain. We get Access database free by the hosting comany. We just have to
pay extra if we need SQL 2000 or SQL 2005 support, depending on size.
Will we get SQL Express Free support as its a lready free for all. In Access case, we just have to upload .mdb file along
with rest of our code, what is the procedure for uploading SQL EXPRESS data. I believe since its a light weight
tool,all the procedures must be same like Access.
Pl. guide with more details.

Dear GroupI'd be grateful if you can provide me with a hint for the following:Fields Table ContactContactIDFirstnameLastnameFields Table ContactMethodContactMethodIDContactMethodTxtContactMethodTypeIDLinked by Tables:Fields Table LkTbl_Contact_ContactMethodLkTblIDContactIDContactMethodTypeIDFields Table ContactMethodTypeContactMethodTypeIDContactMethodThe purpose of this construct is that I keep all contactmethods suchas Email, Mobile, Home Work, Web in table ContactMethods. Whether it'se.g. an Email or Mobile is identified through the ContactMethodType.That enables me that a Contact can have 3 Mobile Numbers, 2 Emailaddresses.For the sake of simplicity, lets say I want to return the Contact Nameand Home, Work and Mobile numbers. Not all of them but the firstmatching record of each from the ContactMethod table.I must note that the contents of table ContactMethodType for columnContactmethod looks like this:EmailMobileHomeWorkWebI do:Select Firstname, Lastname, Home, Work, Mobile FROM ContactJOIN LkTbl_Contact_ContactMethod ON(LkTbl_Contact_ContactMethod.ContactID = Contact.ContactID)JOIN ContactMethod ON (ContactMethod.ContactMethodID =LkTbl_Contact_ContactMethodID)JOIN ContactMethodType ON (ContactMethodType.ContactMethodTypeID =ContactMethod.ContactMethodTypeID)The question is, how do I map the result from table ContactmethodTypeto my fields Home, Work and Mobile in the resultset? The Type isidentified in ContactMethodType but I can't figure out how to do thisbest.Your help and suggestions or any other better solution is veryappreciated.Thanks in advance for your help and efforts,Martin

I absolutely agree with you.
I managed to find the error, it was a typo.
Here is the code, if somebody is interested about it. It is oracle, not SQL server, but the idea is the same.
drop view a;
drop view b;
drop view figure5_9;
create view a
as
select d.donorID, dt.donortype, dt.donortargetq1
from donortype dt, donor d
where d.donortype=dt.donortype;
select * from a;
create view b
as
select a.donortype, sum(c.ContributionAmount) as amount
from Contribution c, a
where c.ContributionDate between '01-JAN-06' and '31-MAR-06' and a.donorID=c.donorID
group by a.donortype;
select * from b;
create view figure5_9
as
select b.donortype, a.donortargetq1, b.amount, b.amount/a.donortargetq1 as percentage
from a, b
where a.donortype=b.donortype
group by b.donortype, a.donortargetq1, b.amount;
select * from figure5_9;
Thanks for the help anyway ;-)

Hi,
I am trying to extract data from a MySQL DB. I have installed the MySQL Connector (mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.23-win32), then set up an ODBC connector in the Control Panel > ODBC.
Then in BIDS I have setup a new ODBC connection in Connection Managers, and then used the ODBC connection I setup above so at that point everything looks cool.
Now what? Do I setup a Execute SQL Task or how do I get the data out and into a Data Flow Task?
Thanks

Hello, I have several SQL 2000 logins on our servers. I removed the builtin/ groups and only have SQL authentication users, although the server is operating in "Mixed Mode". How can I secure this? I don't understand how we can just connect to any DB without ever being asked to log in. Let me know if you can help. Thanks.

Here is my goal please let me know if it is possible.
I have installed sql express on clients machines. I don't want them to be able to view the sp's or the functions. I would like to go as far as not allowing them to see the tables. I tried with encrption but this is still breakable by the user using the DAC.
Does CE
Support transactionscope?
What would I use to create tables and sp's for my sdf database? Server Managment Studio or something else?

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum and would like to have a question answered. I want to to install Sql Server Express with advanced services but also want to have IIS installed as well. My question is, how do I install IIS without it opening Port 45? When I installed it, it would not let me finish installation without letting it act as a server. Is there any work around to solve this problem that any of you have managed to use?

Greetings,
I have a question about the best method to ensure the proper flow of control within a package. I have three related SQL tasks €“ A, B, and C €“ that must execute in sequence. If any one of the tasks fails then the remaining tasks should not execute because each is dependent on the previous step. (A €œsuccess€? precendence constraint.)
Likewise, I have a second set of SQL tasks €“ 1, 2, and 3 €“ that must execute in sequence. Task 3 should never execute unless tasks 1 and 2 have been successful.
I consider these to be two independent logic paths in the same package and, indeed, when I run the package both task A and task 1 begin running at the same time.
What I€™m not sure of is how to add a new task €“ Z €“ that will execute only after both the A-B-C and 1-2-3 task paths have completed. Diagramatically, this would be like having a €œcompletion€? constraint linking task C to task Z and another €œcompletion €œ constraint linking task 3 to task Z. In other words, the two independent paths merge at task Z. Task Z is an audit step that must always run €“ it emails summaries of the database activities performed by the other tasks.
What has me puzzled is how I get to Z when there is a failure in either the A-B-C path or the 1-2-3 path. As things stand now, the package will never reach task Z if there is a failure in an earlier task because they are joined by a €œsuccess€? constraint.
I thought I could get around this by using a €œsequence container€? but I discovered when I added A, B, and C to a container that I couldn€™t use the €œsuccess€? constraint I needed. I was just guessing that this might be the way to do it.
Can anyone help me with a best practice approach to the control flow issue I face? I€™m new if that isn€™t apparent by my question, so don€™t be afraid to make your answer simple and plain.
Thanks for any help,
BCB

I can get the date to list all of the dates in the recordset, but when I use request.querystring("date") to specify all the recordsets with the date "2/26/2005" for example, the recordset comes up empty. Here is my sql statement:
SELECT eventdate=convert(varchar, eventdate, 101), eventtext, eventtime, location, eventtitle, eventID, picture
FROM dbo.calendar
WHERE eventdate like 'thee' and status='live'
ORDER BY eventdate ASC
this will return everything when the browser url shows this: http://www.kapsi-western.org/calendar.asp?date= However, if we put a date in there, and made it like this http://www.kapsi-western.org/calendar.asp?date=2/26/2005, then nothing comes up even though there is event with that date.

I'm trying to find the first Monday for any given year. I've found something
that works, but I typically find the most convoluted way to do a simple task.
Is there something simpler/cleaner than this?
DECLARE @intYear INTEGER
DECLARE @dtmFirstMon DATETIME
DECLARE @dtmWorkDate DATETIME
SET @intYear=YEAR(GETDATE())+2
SET @dtmWorkDate=CAST('01/01/' +CAST(@intYear AS CHAR(4)) AS DATETIME)
SET @dtmFirstMon=(SELECT CASE
WHEN DATEPART(dw, @dtmWorkDate)=2 THEN @dtmWorkDate
WHEN DATEPART(dw, DATEADD(D,1,@dtmWorkDate))=2 THEN DATEADD(D,1,@dtmWorkDate)
WHEN DATEPART(dw, DATEADD(D,2,@dtmWorkDate))=2 THEN DATEADD(D,2,@dtmWorkDate)
WHEN DATEPART(dw, DATEADD(D,3,@dtmWorkDate))=2 THEN DATEADD(D,3,@dtmWorkDate)
WHEN DATEPART(dw, DATEADD(D,4,@dtmWorkDate))=2 THEN DATEADD(D,4,@dtmWorkDate)
WHEN DATEPART(dw, DATEADD(D,5,@dtmWorkDate))=2 THEN DATEADD(D,5,@dtmWorkDate)
WHEN DATEPART(dw, DATEADD(D,6,@dtmWorkDate))=2 THEN DATEADD(D,6,@dtmWorkDate)
END)
PRINT(@DTMFIRSTMON)

I want today's date (GetDate()), but I want the hour, minutes, et cetera set to 0 as they play havoc with my date comparisons.
How do I do it?
Thanks.

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to return a date the sql query analyser like (Aug 2, 2004)
Right now, the following statement returns (Aug 2, 2004 8:40PM). This is now good because I need to do a specific date search that doesn't include the time.
Many thanks in advance!!
Brad

declare @today DateTime
Select @today = GetDate()
print @today

This seems really simple so I'm suprised I'm having so much trouble. Perhaps I'm just overthinking the whole issue. I'm trying to write a query that will extract a list of Users from a table that have logged in within the last 90 days. Sounds easy huh? I'm still stumped!Here's the basics of the attempted query:SELECT UserNameFROM UsersWHERE (LastLoggedInDate<= DATEPART(dd, GETDATE() - 90))Thanks!

I simply want to format a datetime to be printed out as 'mm/dd/yyyy', instead of 'January xx, xxxx tttt'. For example:
declare @thedate as smalldatetime
set @thedate = (SELECT SampDate
FROM table where tableID = 1)
print @thedate
This has got to be ridiculously obvious. Right??

Hello Friends ,
As Iam a very beginner to this sqlserver arena , Iam getting more and more doubts. Can anyone of you help to display a date as string type which is of format, "date/month/year hour:month:second:millisecond".
Please get rid of the huge command which Iam using now,
select rtrim(cast(datename(day ,getdate()) as char )) + '/'+ rtrim(cast(datename(month ,getdate()) as char )) + '/' + rtrim(cast(datename(year ,getdate()) as char )) + ' ' + rtrim(cast(datename(hour ,getdate()) as char )) + ':' + rtrim(cast(datename(minute ,getdate()) as char )) + ':' + rtrim(cast(datename(second ,getdate()) as char )) + ':'+rtrim(cast(datename(millisecond ,getdate()) as char )) as date
