How Do I Convert A Unix Date/Time Field To A Date When The The SQL DB Stores That Data As Char 11?
Nov 13, 2007Hi 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.

Search Char In String
Jan 11, 2006Hi
Is there any function to seperate a sting (VARCHAR) into two based on a character in the string (e.g. '-').
In short is there "InStr" or "split" type function in T-SQL ? If not what is the alternative?
I have a column called "Range" (VarChar) in the table which has ranges like 1-14 or 15-49 etc.
I need to select records by compare a variable (numeric) against these ranges.
So for instace if the variable has 15 its in range 15-49.
I was thinking of spliting the range field into two so that comparison is possible.
Any suggestions?
thanks
How To Compare Nvarchar(15), Char(5), And String
Jan 31, 2008I have used a query statement with the following WHERE string to 'Fill' a dataset.
"AND (A.ApptsDate > '" & strApptPreDate & "' OR (A.ApptsDate = '" & strApptPreDate & "' AND A.ApptsTime >= '" & strApptPreTime & "' ))" & _ and strApptPreTime is defined as:Dim strApptPreTime As String = SomaShared.strPadTime(CStr(dApptCalcNewDate.Hour) + ":" + CStr(dApptCalcNewDate.Minute))
Somehow, the dataset showed only the ApptsTime after 10 am. After more than 2 weeks of debugging, I still can see a dataset watch for > 10 amAppsTime only. Now I am guessting, the problem is 9 is different from 10 - 16, it all because 9 is single digit. Then I check the data type settings for these variables. Here are what I found:
In SQL Server Agent job, the ApptsTime data was 'inserted' by @NewApptTimes, which is declared as char(5).In SQL Server database, the ApptsTime was defined as nvarchar(15).
My question are: 1. The reason why there were no 9 am data for the dataset, is becasue 9 am of nvarchar(15) is not > 8:30 of strApptPreTime? 2. If the answer to the quation 1 is yes, how do I define AppsTime and/or strApptPreTime?
TIA,Jeffrey
Turn Hex Into Char String And Concatenate
Feb 16, 2006I've been trying to return hex data in a way that can be concatenated.
I need the actual hex info (e.g. 0x6E3C070) as displayed
since it contains info about the path to a file.
So I can turn it into D:6E3C 7 to get the path to the file.
In searching around I have come across a way to do this but can't figure out how to get it to run through a column and either display or insert into a table multiple results.
-Here's the user function that converts an integer into a hex string-
CREATE FUNCTION udf_hex_string (@i int)
RETURNS varchar(30) AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @vb varbinary(8)
SET @vb = CONVERT(varbinary(8),@i)
DECLARE @hx varchar(30)
EXEC master..xp_varbintohexstr @vb, @hx OUT
RETURN @hx
END
GO
-Using this table-
create table
XPages
(PageStoreId int null,
HexString varchar (30) null,
VolumePath varchar (60) null, )
--'PageStoreId' contains the data that needs to be converted into the editable hex string
--'HexString' is where I'd like it to go so I can parse it later.
--I can run the below select and get the hex string. But am stuck on how to run a select or update that would run through the 'XPages.PagestoreId'
column and insert the hex string into the 'XPages.Hexstring' column. 'XPages.PagestoreId' could have 100's of entries that need to be converted and placed in the relevant the 'XPages.Hexstring' column.
SELECT dbo.udf_hex_string(1234)
Thanks

What Is The Difference Between Updating Null Value Vs Empty String To Varchar/char Field?
Aug 29, 2007Hi,
What is the difference updating a null value to char/varchar type column
versus empty string to char/varchar type column?Which is the best to do and why?
Could anyone explain about this?
Example:
Table 1 : tCountry - Name varchar(80) nullable
Table 2 :tState - Name char(2) nullable
Table 3 :tCountryDetails - countryid,state (char(2) nullable) - May the country contain state or no state
So,when the state is not present for the country ,i have two options may be - null,''
tCountryDetails.State = '' or tCountryDetails.State = null?
Extract Date Part Of Timestamp Column And Convert It To Char Field
Nov 28, 2012Is there a way to extract the date part (11/27/2012) of a datetime/time stamp column (11/27/2012 00:00:00.000) and keep it in a date format?
The code i have below extracts the date part of a timestamp column and converts it to a char field. This becomes a problem when I joing the resultant table with a SAS dataset which contains the same column but is in a date format. The join process generates an error saying the column is in different formats.

Import Flat Text File String Date To Database Date
Jan 30, 2007I 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. IS there something I am doing wrong with the definition of it, or do I need to add some kind of conversion, and if so, what and how would that be done. I'm a dts Sql2000 expert, but the SSIS thing is driving me crazy. I have a ton of dts' to convert and the migration tool doesn't work because there are a lot of active X scripts in them. thanks for your help. Boston Rose

Change IP Address In A String
Apr 18, 2013We got data from a dns server that looks like:
some columns.... |121.12.250.2.somestring......|
The ip address should look like 2.250.12.121:
We could use charindex, substring and len to cut the 4 parts of the ip and rebuild it in the right format.
Starts with
SELECT
CHARINDEX('.',mycolumn)
,LEFT(mycolumn, CHARINDEX('.',mycolumn) - 1) as part_four_of_ip
,CHARINDEX('.', SUBSTRING(mycolumn,CHARINDEX('.',mycolumn) - 1),len(mycolumn)
as position_of_second_dot
........ and so on.....
This will cause an awful long code. How to shorten that code?

How Do I Change The Default Collation String Of An Installation
Mar 22, 2006HiWhen we installed SqlServer2000 we left the default collation name(Sql_Latin1_General_CPI_CI_AS).The user defined databases we created afterwards were defined with adifferent collation name in order to be able to accept the character setwe use, Hebrew.We are looking into switching DTSs that we use to copy data from ourmain system , that uses an Ingres database, into OSQL scripts. Althoughthe DTSs successfully copy the Hebrew letters when I copy data with OSQLit comes over as jibberish.After looking into the matter I came to the conclusion that while DTSrefers to specific databases and uses the destination database'scollation name , OSQL refers to the remote server and destination serverand therefore uses the collation name of the server and not of thedatabase. In order for it to successfully copy the Hebrew I need tochange the default collation name of the installation.Is "rebuild master" the way to do such a thing ? (this is a productionserver so we are wary of doing a "rebuild master")Has anyone else run into similar problems when transfering data betweenservers using OSQL ?ThanksDavid Greenberg
