There's gotta be a way to tell a DB not to store datetime fields as 24 hour format but rather standard time notation.
So, I don't want this: 2007-04-11 02:01:31.000
I do want this: 2007-04-11 02:01:31 AM
This has to be possible but I can't find it.
Thanks!

HiI need to retrieve data from a table comparing datetimes. I mean I've atable with a datetime data and I'll need to retrieve rows with date time[color=blue]> now and date time < now + 5 minutes...[/color]Is this posible ? Which is the best / easy way ?Thanks in advanceJ
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat methods work for storing empty dates? I've read that some people pick an old date and use it to represent empty. I'm not fond of the idea, because then I'll have to strip that date whenever I display the field in my UI.
Any other ways to do this? I'm using SQL Server 2005 and C#.
Thanks!

Has anybody else noticed this
I have a whole bunch of bit fields in an SQL data base, which makes it a little messy to report on.
I thought a nice idea would be to assigne a text string/null value to each bit field and concatenate all of them into a result.
This is the basic logic goes soemthing like this:
select case new_accountant = 1 then 'acct/' end +
case new_advisor = 1 then 'adv/' end +
case new_attorney = 1 then 'atty/' end as String
from new_database
The output would be
Null, acct/, adv/, atty, acct/adv/, acct/atty/... acct/adv/atty/
So far, nothing I have tried has worked.
Any ideas?
Hi:I have created a table that has a column of smalldatetimes. For any given day, there may be different records with the same date but with different times. I've created the query SELECT Event FROM Events where Start=@Start and I input start as a selected date from the calendar control. Because of the different times, I do not get any matches. Could someone help me with a query that will get all of the events on the same day? Regards,Roger
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow would I match datetimes in records structured as follows:
Code:
Record1 AccountNo StartDateTime EndDateTime
1 1234 4/30/2012 8:00 AM NULL
2 1234 NULL 5/15/2012 8:00 AM
Desired Result:
Code:
AccountNo StartDateTime EndDateTime
1234 4/30/2012 8:00 AM 5/15/2012 8:00 AM
Of course there are multiple accounts, about 2100 in this case but they very by time periods, and multiple start and stop dates for an account. I need to get the start times and match them w/ the nearest end times but AFTER the value of the start time. Nearest end times must be forced to correspond to the nearest start time but there are some start times w/o end times and end times w/o start times due to user data entry errors. I need a solution that handles this. It is ok w/ the customer to make the assumption of nearest times supposedly going together so they can show the users the errors. I am on SQL Server 2008 R2.
We have inherited an appointments database that has a table tblAppointments
Within this table there are 2 fields, ApptFrom & ApptTo, these are the appointment start & finish times.
My problem is, the values in these fields are held as integers ranging from 0 - 288. I have worked out the scale for the integers, it is based on a 24hr clock with each segment representing 5mins
Eg: 0 = 0:00
12 = 1.00
24 = 2.00
36 = 3.00
€¦
...
288 = 24:00
What I need is a piece of T_SQL that will translate these into times that can be read by a normal user
So, say I have a record with an ApptFrom = 36 & ApptTo = 42, I need to be able to show these as ApptFrom = 3.00 & ApptTo = 3.30
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Hello! I have a field "End" in my database that is mapped as DateTime and allows nulls. Now I want to do a SQL-Select (in a SqlDataSource) like SELECT * FROM My_Table Where (([End] = @EndDate) OR ([End] = null)) @EndDate is a valid DateTime, but the second OR condition doesn't work. What is the best way to check if the [End]-field is empty or null? Thank you very much!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a requirement to be able to calculate the transit time between international locations when I have the flight departure time and flight arrival times and departure and arrival locations.
We have a problem though, in that the datetime stored are local times, and the journeys can involve crossing the international date line in either direction, so it is possible for the arrival time to be earlier than the departure time!
To give a famous example, if you flew Concorde from London to Washington, you could depart at 10am on the 1st of June (London time) and arrive at 8.00am on 1st June (Washington time)
Even worse, you could leave Brisbane at 2.00 am on the 1st June, cross the International Date Line and arrive at San Francisco at 23:00 on 31st May!
Is the merge method, what will work in this case ? I have two datatables with the exact same structure. How can I append the rows from table 2 onto the bottom of table 1 ? Is looping through the rows collection the only way ?

I know this must be simple, but I am stumpped, please help!
I am writing a stored procedure in SQL 2000 where an incomming variable is a string of characters (a couple of sentences) and I want to add that to the existing string of characters in a table field called "Comments".
I do not know how to append the text in a field. How is that best done?
The basic function of the procedure is to take whatever string is passed to it and append it to the current contents of the field "Comments". As the procedure is ran over and over again, the field is constantly appended with the incomming text.
What is the best way to do this? Can anyone give me an example?

I have two tables that have the same column names, data type and length in each. The only difference is that one is the USA ( COUNTRY) and the other is International ( COUNTRY ). I want to make these two tables into one table. I don't think that a "UNION" will do that on a permanent basis. What other options do I have?

We're running SQL 6.5 SP3, we recycle our SQL server every day, somehow starting last December, the errorlog kept appending to the previous one
without starting a new log, and it keeps on growing,
any one knows anywhere I should look into ?
If SQL behaves properly, it should starts a new log after each recycle.
I checked from Technet this problem may occur in 4.2 but I haven't seen anything in 6.5....Thanks

DTS wizard is not allowing me to append the data to a text file. Every time I run DTS and choose the destination to be this text file (say A.txt), it overwrites the data. I have a table whose data I am dumping to a text file. I truncate the table, then get the data again into it and want to append it to the same text file. But I end up overwriting the text file with the new data.
Kindly let me know where I am going wrong.
Hello all! I have a dts package exporting a text file. I would like for the dts job to append to the end of the file each time it is ran, rather than overwriting it. Is there a simple solution for this?
Thanks

When I create a db backup on our network using BACKUP DATABASE...
BACKUP DATABASE [TKKCommonData] TO DISK = N'G:SQL_BACKUPSTKKCommonDataTKKCommonData_DATA.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'TKKCommonData_DATA-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
I've specified the NOINIT so that it appends rather than overwrites the database, however the database is still overwritten.
Any idea how to get the database to backup and append to the set rather than overwrite the backup ?

I have subscription records for five different magazine titles that i process by looping each one though a dataflow using a for-each loop. I am using the following instructions to append to the raw file: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/12/01/2443.aspx
This works fine when I pass four different magazine titles. when i try to run all of the titles(five), i get the following errors:
[Raw File Destination [131195]] Warning: The parameter is incorrect.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Raw File Destination" (131195) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0x80070057.

Quick question regarding log backup files.
Currently I have a maintenance plan running a Full backup weekly, differential backups nightly, and log backups hourly. The log backups are all going into a single backup file - but it's hard to see what's going on behind the scenes here.
Does this file get 'reset' when the full backup is performed? Will it just keep growing indefinitely and should I be creating new files for each log backup, or manually deleting the file each week during the full backup task?
Thanks

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using SQL Server 2005.
I am trying to import data from CSV files into an SQL Server table using the Import wizard. The text qualifier is double quotes ("), column delimeter is a comma (,), first row has column names. One of the field name is "id", which is a GUID, whose datatype in SQL Server is uniqueidentifier. It looks like this in the file:
..."data","data","dbf7edf8-0ca8-4e53-91e3-5901cdc1819a","data"...
As you can see, there are no enclosing curly braces for the guid value. The DTS chokes on this and throws this error:
The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data
If I add curly braces like this {dbf7edf8-0ca8-4e53-91e3-5901cdc1819a}, it imports with no problem.
Is there way to import this type of data, because there is no way I can edit these files, and I would prefer not changing the datatype of the id field?
Or is this a limitation of SQL Server?
Thanks,Bullpit
