Combine Separate Date && Time Fields Into One Datetime Field?
Dec 26, 2006
Good morning.
I am importing an XLS file into one of my tables. The fields are:
Date Id Time IO
12/22/2006
2
12:48:45 PM

12/22/2006
16
5:40:55 AM

12/22/2006

12:03:59 PM

When I do the import, I get the following:
Date Id Time IO
12/22/2006 12:00:00AM 2 12/30/1899 12:48:45 PM 2
12/22/2006 12:00:00AM 16 12/30/1899 5:40:55 AM 1
12/22/2006 12:00:00AM 16 12/30/1899 12:03:59 PM 2
Here are my doubts:
1. Is it be better to combine the Date & Time fields into one column? Advantages/Disadvantages?
2. If I don't combine them, should I use varchar or datetime data type?
2. What issues or problems might I have when I program SQL reports, if I leave the fields as they are?
Any comments or suggestions will be very much welcomed.

I've a DateTime field in a table and I want to separate it into two fields in an SQL Server 2005 view one for Date and the other for Time so What is the function I can use to do this process?
My group is working on a project for school and neither of us have much experience with SQL or ASP. We are pretty much just writing an SQL query to get the data in a certain date range and using ASP to write the tables with the data in it.
Our problem is the SQL database has separate fields for date and time. There is nothing we can do about this because the VB.NET program that populates the tables automatically does this. We can't figure out how to do the BETWEEN statement when they are separate fields. We can do it for a date range and it works fine. An example of what we want to do is show the data from 11:00 am on 04/01/2008 until 4:00pm 04/03/2008.
Does anyone have any idea what we can do? I really want to learn this but it's frustrating because we can't seem to get much help at school.
We have a piece of software and database for student registers.
One of the biggest problems is the database has been difficult to work with, as I have had to work out the date using dateadd functions and combine fields from different tables.
I've now got the date correctly, but I want to add the time to the time part of a datetime field.
The time field is already stored in a datetime field, but the date in this field is always 1899-12-30.
Hi,We have a lame app that uses 2 datetime(8) fields, 1 stores the date, theother the time.example query:select aud_dt, aud_tmfrom ordersresults:aud_dt aud_tm2006-06-08 00:00:00.000 1900-01-01 12:32:26.287I'm trying to create a query that give me records from the current date inthe past hour.Here's a script that gives me todays date but I cannot figure out the time:select aud_dt, aud_tm, datediff(d,aud_dt,getdate()), datediff(mi, aud_tm,getdate())from orderswhere (datediff(d,aud_dt,getdate()) = 0)results:aud_dt aud_tmdatediff(0=today) timediff (since 1900-01-01)2006-06-08 00:00:00.000 1900-01-01 12:32:26.287 055978689I added this next part to the above query but it does not work since thedate/time is from 1900-01-01and (datediff(mi, aud_tm, getdate()) <= 60)Thanks for any help.
How do I extract the ate and time from a datetime field. The field is called Log_DateTime. I want to extract the date and the time and then use these two expressions to sort/filter on in Query Analyzer.
I am using aloha POS and they have the date for every check in separate fields and now I want to calculate the total time for the checks but unable to get the how of it..
The date is DOB and it's datetime but I just need to extra the getdate() from it.The open time is OPENHOUR and OPENMINThe close time is CLOSEHOUR and CLOSEMIN
so basically the open time for the check will be the DATE FROM DOB + OPENHOUR + OPENMIN
And the close time will be DATE FROM DOB + CLOSEHOUR + CLOSEMIN
I want to combine two of my fields somewhat like when you combine to char fields and concatenate them. But these two fields are int. How do i do that? Here's my query right now:
Code Block SELECT AutoID, CONVERT(Varchar(Mars_Calender_Year )+ CONVERT(Varchar(Mars_Calender_Period_Code) as MarsId FROM NavisionReplication.dbo.Tbl_Mars_Calender ORDER BY Mars_Calender_Year DESC
I would like to export sql server 2005 tables to a text file using SSIS. It is easy to do this as a direct export. However, how could I separate the datetime field into two fields: one for date only and one for time only?
I have extracted the data from Point of Sales. it has two columns one for date and one for time in the database. I need to combine both column into single column with the format "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" before i import the data into the SQL server for my BI project.
Example: Data extract from Point of Sales FDATEFTIME 20060114063616 20060115070743 20060116071020
How can i combine those two when i import into SQL server like below: FDATE 01/14/2006 06:36:16 01/15/2006 07:07:43 01/16/2006 07:10:20
I need to separate the date stamp (which looks like this 2006-10-05 09:08:41.000) into the date in this format 05OCT2006 and then the date stamp separate in this format 09:08. Thanks!
TransactionsImport (which is the destination table) TransactionsImportDelta
I need to do the following:
Get the records with the latest date and time in the destination table TransactionsImport Get the records with the latest date and time in the destination table TransactionsImportDelta table Insert the records from the TransactionsImportDelta table into TransactionsImport that have a greater date & time than the current records in TransactionsImport table.
Problem is date & time are in separate columns:
Table structure:
Date Time ID 2011121305154107142201008300100 2011121305154122B1L13ZY0000A07YD 2011121304504735142201090002600 2011121304504737142201095008300 2011121304504737142201090002600
I hope to update a DateTime column value with a Time input parameter.  Poor attempt below but it looks like the @ApptTime param is coming in as 10:45:00.0000000 and I might have an existing @SendOnDate as: 2015-10-05 07:00:00.000...I hope to end up with 2015-10-05 10:45:00.000
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SendEditUPDATE] @QuePoolID int=null ,@ApptTime time(7) ,@SendOnDate datetime
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.
dear friends.................. i have a table like below.. name date ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ anbumani 2/18/2008 4:15:56 PM anbumani 2/18/2008 4:21:29 PM anbumani 2/18/2008 4:23:03 PM anbumani 2/18/2008 4:25:25 PM i want a out put as only time (ex : 4:15:56 PM 4:21:29 PM 4:23:03 PM ) give me the stored procedure code in sql server 2005.. thanks and regards Samuel Chandradoss .

Trying to extract the time portion from a datetime field. ex 7:15:12 AM from 1/1/2008 7:15:12 aM This is what I tried and neither functions give me the results I want.... SELECT DueTime, CONVERT(varchar, DueDate, 108) AS Expr1, SUBSTRING(CAST(DueDate AS varchar), 10, LEN(DueDate)) AS Expr2, CAST(DueDate AS varchar) AS Expr3FROM TODO Due Time Expr1 Expr2 Expr3 1/1/2008 5:15:00 PM 00:00:00 12:00:00 AM Jan 1 2008 12:00:00 AM It seems Cast(DueDate as varchar) is the problem it converts the time to the default 12:00:00 AM In the above example I want 5:15:00 PM
Hello All,I've got a DATETIME field, and it includes hour:minutes:second data. I want to do selects where I can simply match on the month, day and year. For instance, something like this:SELECT * FROM QuizAttempts WHERE DateTimeTaken = '1/12/2006'And have it match anything that was taken that day, regardless of *when* it was taken. Any suggestions?Thanks! -Josh

I am doing a temporary retro-upgrade right now. So, I know this isn't exactly in the scope of ASP.Net. Ordinally my posts are. However, I need a VBScript example of how to insert the Date only into the DateTime field of an SQL 2000 Server. By default, if you try to, the server automatically adds the date "1/1/1900". Can anyone help me please?
I would like to be able to insert a time value only into a SQL 7 table colum which has been set as a datetime datatype. When I insert '12:34:44 PM' into the colum it actually inserts '1900-1-1 12:34:44 PM'. An Access table will allow you to insert the time value without adding the '1/1/1900' date value. Can this be done in SQL7?
Any help on extracting the time part from the datetime field in SQLdatabase.even though i had entered only the time part in the database when iextract the field it gives me only the date part. i’m using Vb.netdatagrid as a front end.any assistance appreciated!! :?:--Posted using the http://www.dbforumz.com interface, at author's requestArticles individually checked for conformance to usenet standardsTopic URL: http://www.dbforumz.com/General-Dis...pict254266.htmlVisit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

I have the time of an event stored on each record as a datetime field.Itincludes the year,month,day, etc. Suppose my user wants to search the tablefor all events over the lunch hour, say between11am and 1pm. How do Iconstruct the SELECT query to peek into each datetime field and return onlythose records that satify the specified time range?Many thanks.
I'm trying to save times in datetime fields, but seem to have lots of issues with formats.
I'm using a multiline text box, where the user will pick from 09:00 09:30 10:00 etc, so the value that comes out in the .text property is "09:30"
Once I have that, whats the best way to convert this into the right format for a dt field? I understand it'll have todays date in it which is fine. It seems to work ok if I overwrite a textbox that's bound to a datetime field, but not if I'm sending it via an insert statement.
Also I'm using 24 hour format times, eg 14:00, do I need to do anything to ensure they're store in this format?
I have a PHP page where the user enters a date that represents the last day of a timesheet (ts_end) and the hours worked on that timesheet. That is then written into a table where the date is a datetime type. Because the user just enters a date, the time portion of the field is set to 00:00:00. In another place, I need to sum the columns for reports submitted between the beginning of a timesheet (ts_end -6 days) and the ts_end date.
The problem is that chartreviewed values entered on the ts_end date are getting lost because the time part of the ts_end field is 00:00:00 and the time part of the dateentered for the chartreviewed value is not. For instance using 2/4/2004 as the ts_end date looses the 192 charts.
I know I can revise the query to look for charts where the dateentered is less than dateadd(d,1,ts_end) and get the right values. It seems like there has to be a way though to tell sqlserver to ignore the time part of a datetime field when querying.
I have a field that is stored as a smalldatetime but I want to filter on that field only for the date. How do I ignore the time stamp and only go by the date?
From the table above the current running shift is Id = 1
Based on that I have following question:
1 - Is there a way to specified for a DateTime field that it will recieved only Time part ?
2 - When a shift change occurs, I need to compare the Current time with the time shift in the table. Then according to that I set the IsCurrent flag to proper new Shift ID.. how to perform this ?
