How To Convert Datetime Field To A Date Field So Excel Recognize It As Data Type
May 17, 2015I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE"Â .
How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?
I tried:
CONVERT(varchar(8),TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CONVERT(Date,TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)
**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.
Informix Date Type Field To SQL Server Datetime Field Error
Oct 17, 2007
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.
What options do I have that will work?

I need immediate help with a query that I am trying to write. I want to sum the values in a query but the field has a type of varchar and it has decimal numbers too. So if I do the query something like that, that converts the field to int, I get the error message.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSQL Datetime Field Type Command Help??
Jan 15, 2008I am new to asp.net, C#, and sql server, coming from php and ODBC/Access background (trying to leave all that behind) Anyway, I have a textbox that will be used to INSERT a date into a SQL datetime field. The date coming from the textbox will be formatted like "MM/dd/yyyy". For my purposes the day, month, and year are all that I require, the time is irrelevant. Then from a different page in the site I will be using a variable containing the current date derived from "DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")" to select records with a matching date. Is there anyone that has an example showing both inserting into a datetime field and extracting records based off the date format that I have specified? Would it be better to use a different format? In the past I have stored dates as a julian in an int field type but I would rather learn to use the datetime field type in sql. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Case For Field Type
Jun 7, 2014Is there an easy way to send back to my C# program the pascal case of a field type? If you get the parameters or columns for a table or procedure the type is in all lowercase (varchar instead of VarChar). But in C#, it is in an enum (SqlDbType) that has the variables as mixed case so you can't compare them and just pass the type. You need to figure out what the case should be - varchar should be VarChar and bigint should be BigInt.

How To Specify Data Type For XMLDatasSource Field?
Apr 11, 2007I'm using XmlDataSource to build reports based on WebService output (as plain XML text). (SSRS2005)
I have several fields which contain Float/Decimal/Integer value, but RS reads them as text and I have to use CDbl() to convert text to numeric value.
In MSDN I found some info about "Type" attribute(?) for XmlElement.
My xml is:
...<Field1 Type="Float">34567.89</Field1>...
But RS still reads data from this field as text.
Is there any way to specify field's (xmlelement's) data type instead of using CDbl() function everywhere?
Testing For Field Type/Status
Feb 22, 2008Hello,
We are trying to test for a field in our 'setup' table and no matter what we do it's has a personality of its own. It's the wackiest thing. The field has two steps in this update script - first we are checking to make sure the field 'set_fsm' is still in the table, if so then we are blanking out the field by updating the value to a pair of ' '. Next, after the field now has just a blank value we are going to change the data type from char(10) to a bit field. However, when we try to check the code the first time it works but every other time the update script runs it doesn't work. The code below are two approaches that we have tried with our general update tools that is run on each version / product release we have. Assistance is greatly appreciated.
The record doesn€™t exit yet it still falls into the BEGIN.
IF exists (select * from dbo.syscolumns where name = 'set_fsm'
and id = (select id from dbo.sysobjects where name = 'setup'))
BEGIN
PRINT €˜I am here€™
UPDATE setup SET set_fsm = ''
END
It won€™t print the €œI am here€? but still tries to update the table!!!
Here€™s the results:
Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid column name 'set_fsm'.
Someone else said try this€¦
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM sysobjects o
JOIN syscolumns c on o.id = c.id
WHERE o.name = 'setup'
and c.name = 'set_fsm'
and o.xtype = 'U') -- because index columns are also stored in the sysobjects table
begin
print 'Found column'
update setup set set_fsm = ''
END
else
begin
print 'set_fsm column not found in table setup'
end
Same results:
Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid column name 'set_fsm'.

What Type Of Field Should I Use To Store An Array Or Datatable?
Feb 25, 2005Hi - I'm using Session variables to store information (sort of webshop).
The sessions are a mix of the usual straightforward strings, wich are no problem - but I also have a DataTable which I store in a session variable, and I also have an array, which I store in a session variable eg. session("day")(x) where x is the item in the array.
I want to give my users the ability to store the items they've selected in my database, but have no idea of what type of field I should use for the datatable and array session variable. Should I use a TEXT field, or is there another more appropriate one'?
I'm using SQL Server 2000.
Thanks for any help,
