Hello. I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SQL Server 2005). When I select a date column from a table, the date is displayed in "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" format. Is there a way i can change this date format so that it shows "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" permanently? Thanks.
I’m retrieving Yahoo quotes into my database and have run into an issue when the dates sometimes change format in the csv file retrieved.
I am retrieving yahoo quotes via powershell, then running a package to import data to my table. This generally works expect when the yahoo date format changes.
In the yahoo csv file, the dates normally come through in dd/mm/yyyy format. I find when a quote is old the format changes to mm/dd/yyyy, just for that particular quote.
When this happens, the package fails because the quote date format does not match my destination table format. i.e. mm/dd/yyyy vs dd/mm/yyyy
When this occurs, I would like to skip the records in mm/dd/yyyy format altogether and have the rest of the quotes imported.
One approach I can think of is to import the dates as a text type and do some data validation / conversion once imported but it feels like adding unnecessary steps.
Is there some other way I can achieve this within the process I already have?

I am creating a VB application that will run on a NT machine with Regional Settings as UK English and dd/mm/yyyy settings. When I try to input these values into SQL 7.0 ( default database setting mdy and us_english with Regional Settings as UK dd/mm/yyyy) , I get the error -" The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value " . Can I change my databse to always be dmy format. It seems to be active for a connection , can it be configured somewhere .
I read this and got confused...I use PHP and got this:$sql = "delete from blabla where startdate< =to_date('2000.05.05','YYYY-MM-DD')";$result=odbc_exec($conn, $sql);Result: Warning: odbc_exec() [function.odbc-exec]: SQL error:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]'to_date' is not arecognized function name.to_date should work?At the other end i'd like to read out startdate as a date var or formatit as I need.... (dd.mm.yyyy). Convert makes me confused... helpplease?S
Hey all, I`m trying to BCP in some data from a csv file. It has dates formatted like d/mm/yy and when run BCP it errors. Of course...SQL language is set to English(United States) so it wants it in mm/dd/yy. But from what I`ve read in the archive, from Sharon at least, is that only in BCP will it use the NT date setting which for me is English(Australian) or d/mm/yy. So I`m thinking, `that`s ok` my data`s dates like d/mm/yy and nt dates like d/mm/yy it`ll bcp in fine - but no.
What can I do? I cant change my sql setting and I cant change the way I dump my dates to the csv! Suggestions......
Hi. I have a DB in which we store dates in yyyy/mm/dd. However when wewant to display this date via a web frontend, it needs to be indd/mm/yyyy. I've declared a function (shown below) which convertsbetween these date formats and returns a varchar(20). This works finehowever now I need to have the ability to sort on this date field inthe frontend. This requires my function to return a datetime in therequired format. Can this be done?DECLARE @InputDate nvarchar(20)DECLARE @OutputDate nvarchar(20)DECLARE @Day nvarchar(2)DECLARE @Month nvarchar(2)DECLARE @Year nvarchar(4)DECLARE @Time nvarchar(12)SET @InputDate = '2005/03/01 14:30:00'SET @Day = cast(datepart(day,@InputDate) as nvarchar(2))SET @Month = cast(datepart(month,@InputDate) as nvarchar(2))SET @Year = cast(datepart(year,@InputDate) as nvarchar(4))SET @Time = substring(cast(@InputDate as nvarchar(23)),12,12)SET @OutputDate = replicate('0',2-len(@Day)) + @Day + '/' +replicate('0',2-len(@Month)) + @Month + '/' +@Year + ' ' + @TimeSELECT @OutputDate AS OutputDateThxVilen
Hi.I had a VB program that was using an SQL Server 6.5 DB. Date formatwas dd/mm/yyyy. Now the DB was changed to an SQL Server 7 and the dateformat is yyyy/mm/dd.How can I do for changing date formats in the new DB to the oldformat?Im searching for a database level solution, not server level.thanks
I have a SQL date problem that I just cant get to the bottom of. A SSIS package runs that inserts dates into a SQL table from strings in the format dd/mm/yyyy This package is run from within a SQL job. Unfortunately the dates are being interpreted as mm/dd/yyyy. I have checked every possible date setting that I can, but nothing seems to work (SQL Agent account lang is set to British English, collations, Locale ID setting in the SSIS package, Lang of account that runs the SSIS service).
When the package is run in BIDS it inserts the dates correctly, just not from a SQL job. I have tried inserting SET DATEFORMAT dmy in an Execute SQL Task in the SSIS package but that does not work either.
The baffling thing is that it works on one server but not another. Both servers have the same collation, regional settings and use the same SQL Agent account.
Also when SELECT @@Language is used is this determined by the lang setting against the user ?
I'm using 2 DB servers, with MS SQL Server 2000 on each of them, one for development and one for production.
When I want to query some information, filtered on a date in the WHERE clause, I have to use DATE = '<MM/DD/YYYY>' on the development machine, and DATE = '<DD/MM/YYYY>' on the production one, to get the result I want, and I can't figure out why (I'm just a lambda user). I would like to configure the servers so that both use the <DD/MM/YYYY> format.
I am bring a date from a OLE DB Source (SQL Command) as [select cast(convert(varchar,getdate(),101) as varchar(10))] to a Flat File Destination (CSV File). The data in the source is show as "1/1/2007", which is how I need it to display in the file. The flat file defaults to showing the data as "1/1/2007 00:00:00." I did change the destination field to a String, and still, I geting the timestamp. I tried using a data conversion transformation, and I am getting bargage data when converting the date to a string.
Can any one give me insight on how to populate a date into a comma delimeted file as "1/1/2007", not "1/1/2007 00:00:00."
I am getting below errors when I try to import data from csv format to a sqlserver table.The csv file has date column that has date with format: 7/10/2015 1:18:39 PM and the sql server is using datetime not null for that field in the table.
[OLE DB Destination [90]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Invalid date format".

OK Here is what I am trying to do... In one of my processes I need to take a field IE CREATE_DATE and change that from an EPOCH (number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970) to a human readable date... IE a 04/02/2008 08:23:36 AM and stuff... Now I do know how to use the dateadd... However all my times are coming up as GMT I need them to be EST/EDT... How can I script this to automagically subject 5 or 4 from the hour depending on if we are in daylight savings. This has been plagueing me for the longest time.
Hello all, I have a question. I am fairly new to all of this, so bear with me if it is something simple (as I kinda hope it is).
In SSRS, I have a report that runs against a SQL '05 DB. The DB tables are created with a SSIS package gathering information from an AS/400 DB2 database.
The package and report run fine. One of the columns in the table is for a date (date of birth). The SSIS package gathers the column information and inserts it into SQL Server as a Decimal datatype (Decimal 6,0). The dates (decimals?) are now in the format 40207, as they were on the 400, where that specific date would be April 2, 2007. 120707 would be December 7, 2007 and so on. I would like to format the date to be mm/dd/yy or even m/dd/yy for the "single digit" months in the report for easy readability.
I have tried setting the format options in reporting services for formatting the field as a date, and even using the cdate conversion or FormatDateTime in an expression. I cannot seem to get the date to change. I either get an "# error" for the values of the fields or I get the same date that already was there (40207)?
It seems as if none of the date formatting options are working. Is this something I need to do on the package (set the mappings on the create table to create the columns as a Date, not Numeric or something similar?), or should it be easier than that by converting the output of the report to display mm/dd/yy with the "/"?
Aim – Currently i have column “[LAST-STATUS-CHG]” in the following date format “042312” i need this date format to be changed into “23-04-12”.
Also i would like an additional column created called “Start of month” this column should look at “[LAST-STATUS-CHG]” and what ever the day is in the defauly it to 01
Current results FDMSAccountNoACCOUNT-STATUSLAST-STATUS-CHG 87800000088416042312 87800000088513011212 87800000088612100712
Where can i change the date stored internally to SQL Server. It is this value which is displayed when we execute getdate() function. But, Changing the system date doesn't change the result of getdate() function. I want to get a different value for getdate(). Is it possible ?
I live in Australia and use the date format of - dd/mm/yyy, but when i do a query in SQL Management it seems to want its inputs in US format mm/dd/yyy.
For example it errors when i do a search and one of the dates is 27/11/2007, ie there is no 27th "US" Month.
I have checked my local settings (regional and language in control panel), and it all points to Australian formats, it just seems the SMS wants the dates in US.
I have a SELECT statement, the result of which populates a datagrid. The first column has consecutive dates in it and I want to hyperlink each date to a seperate Javascript function (the Javascript is created on the fly and is unique for each date). I need a different function name for each function and so tried the date but "/" is not allowed in the Javasript function name. I think the easiest way will be to produce a new column with the date expresses ddmmyyyy, ddmmyy or some such unique number (but not dd/mm/yyyy). I tried :-
"CASE " & _ "WHEN t3.date = t3.date THEN (DAY(t3.Date) + MONTH(t3.Date) + YEAR(t3.Date)) ELSE NULL END AS [javaKey]
but this adds the year to the month to the day - not a unique result as 1/2/06 and 2/1/06 are the same.
I am just getting to grips with VB.Net (as an amature) but am a distinct beginner at SQL!
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?
My current Query takes the DATE value stored in P.CreatedDate and makes it VARCHAR, then stores it in the table. I need to format this to return YYYYMMDD. How would I go about this?
Current Code:
Code: CAST(P.CreatedDate AS VARCHAR) AS DateEntered,
I have a SSIS data flow task that downloads data from an Oracle source which has some real dates and some date values of 0001-01-01 which I am trying to convert to '1900-01-01' using a decode(Date1,'0001-01-01','1900-01-01',Date1). The problem I am having is that when I run the package in Business Intelligence Development Studio on my local machine the date value is stored correctly in the SQL table in a datetime field as 1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM, however when I run the package from the server the field gets saved as 1/1/2001 12:00:00 AM.
I have tried a bunch of ways to work around this issue and the only solution I have found that works it to download into a temp table and then load into the live table. Does anyone have any idea of what might be causing this issue when I run the package from the server?
I would like to know whether it is possible to add and updated date column in a slow changing dimension table using the slow changing dimension data flow transformation.
I would like to keep track of what record is updated in the dimension table based on the data being processed.
4 app servers with regional date and time settings of locale A.
1 database server with locale settings B.
What is happening is that timestamps are being generated on the app servers, these are then in a sql command which fails on the database server since the timestamp format is invalid.
It was suggested that we change the regional locale settings of the database server, but will this not have serious implications , for example every current timestamp format in the datbase will become invalid?
In a nutshell is it safe to change a database servers regional date time locale settings ? Or are there serious implications?
