I am trying to return all records between 2 dates. The Date columns are in DateTime format, and i am ignoring the timestamp. The user should be able to input UK Date Format (dd/mm/yyyy) and return the rows. This sql code works fine for American date format, but i get an error: converting from varchar to datetime when i put in a UK format. eg. 22/11/06. Please advise on this problem! many thanks!

select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt, 'Deposit' as type, a.* from dbo.status_view a
where right(term,4) always returns a string which constitutes a 4 digit year eg '1999','2004',etc.
The SQL above returns
2004-04-20 00:00:00.000 Deposit ...
Which makes me think that it is able to successfully construct the datetime object inline. But then when I try and do:
select * from ( select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt, 'Deposit' as type, a.* from dbo.status_view a ) where dt >= a.submit_date
I get the following error:
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
Given that it executes the innermost SQL just fine and seems to convert the string to a datetime object, I don't see why subsequently trying to USE that datetime object for something (in this case comparison with submit_date which is a datetime in the table a) should screw it up. Help!!! Thanks...
I have a table with a DateTime field that has Dates in the format of mm/dd/yyyy I want to do a simple count on the table for the previous day but keep getting 0 for the results. Here is the script I've been trying.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytbl WHERE Collected_Date = DateAdd (dd, -1, GetDate())
It appears to me that the time portion of the DateAdd function keeps the matches that I am looking for from happening. What am I missing or am I going about this all wrong?

Hi, I have a varchar field named FinancialYTDCode containing data in the format 2007F or 2008F. I want to only select the rows with the FinancialYTDCode that is the same as the current year.
Could someone please show me how I write this in my script. Thanks
Is there a performance impact (if so, how great is it) when comparing a date to a datetime data type?
An educated guess suggests yes, as there will be a type casting... but then again I don't believe there's an issue when comparing an int to a tinyint and there's an assumption these would play by the same rules?
This has only come about because I'm considering changing the data type used in my standard calendar script and this popped in to my head.
Hello all, I'm trying to write a query against an exisiting table that i can't modify and i'm running into a bit of a problem. The table stores timestamps as a char field instead of a datetime. So, i've had to use the CONVERT function to change it to a datetime during my query. A sample is below: SELECT convert(datetime, logged, 120) FROM AP200310 This works, except i want to include the option of querying a single day. Since the data that is returned is in this format: 12/12/2006 6:54:15 PM The following sql statement doesn't work:SELECT convert(datetime, logged, 120) FROM AP200310 WHERE logged = '12/12/2006' Thanks in advance for any help.

I have installed the trial version of windows server 2003 on the second hard drive on my computer. I set up IIS and ran my website on it but the problem is when I do something on the site, which has a sql insert statement regarding datetime.now it says, "conversion failed when converting datetime from character string"
I think it's to do with the clock on server 2003, the format is like: 11/07/2007 2:39:59 a.m. I think it should be in format AM and not a.m. Any ideas on how to change the time format on a computer?
Or should I just change the Columns in my table to a Nvarcher value or something?
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spAddEvents ( @guid uniqueidentifier, @language char (2), @date as datetime, @eventId as varchar (50), @userid as varchar (20) ) AS execute('insert into tblEvents'+@language+'( guid, [date], [id], userid) values('''+@guid+''','''+@date+''','+@eventId+','''+@userId+''')')
GO
The problem is when I try to insert a new event. The event insert are fine, but the datetime's secound in tblEvents always is 00, and I check the datetime variable to insert and have secound different that 00.
the table definition is Data Type: datetime and Length: 8, how must be?
Hi,I'm new to SQL Server (Express) and I wonder if there is a way that I can format a date's appearance in the database, that is, the format of the datetime column. When I view a date in VWD Express, it's in my country's format (2006-11-24 for example) but when I try to insert a date using the same format using a web form, the inserted date in the database becomes 1905-06-something. This happens regardless of whether I'm inserting a string or if the string has been converted to a date via CDate. So, is there a way I can set the database's date format? And why is it wrong anyway? It's bugging me as the original (Swedish) date is already in the ISO format that SQL Server seems to use (such as yyyy-mm-dd), and I'm using localhost with Windows set to Swedish, IE 6 set to Swedish, and even web.config's UICulture and Culture to Swedish as well. Of course, I can rearrange the order of the date's numbers to get proper values in the db, but it seems as an unnecessary step and I can't figure out what format to use anyway. All help is very welcome. Pettrer
I'm in a learning phase of SQL server 7. I need your help for the following:
I am selecting from a dropdown list Month ('January, february,..... but not as '01', '02'..) and Year (2000, 2001.....), when they are selected a table is displayed for next 12 months starting from the selected month (like say, if April and 2002 was selected, my other table will show Apr. 02 - Mar. 03 ), and data is inserted into it manually. My question is How to insert this date into the sql database...as I just need the month and the year.....and in sql server the date datatype is "datetime", also i have only one column for this month and year....should i change my tables and make different columns for Month and Year. Can only Month (Januray, february.....) and Year (2000, 2001...) be inserted.
Dear Folks, how can i know the datetime format of my current session? and is it possible to change that to required format permanently for that particular database?
In SQL query I have to find records which occour between two dates. I created Select query with two parameters @date1 and @date2 in clasue WHERE. But problem is with date format of my parameters. This format is to long. I dont wont to use time part of these parameters only date part is needed. When I put two identical dates my query doesn't find any data because both dates are eg. 2007-05-22 00:00:00. But I need data for all this day. How to correct this problem? Regards Pawel.
Hi, I have a SQL Express 2005 db, with the following format for the datetime vales: dd/mm/yyyy, and if the day or the month has only one digit, it'll be completed with a zero(ie 09/03/2007). The problem is that I sent a backup(.bak file) of it to other people, but they see the date as mm/dd/yyyy and the dates are not completed with zeroes(ie 5/5/2007). How can we both have the same format? Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
I'm still having a problem inserting date fields into sql server.
I don't understand how it accepts datetime.
I have all of my date columns defined with datetime format and all of the dates are coming out as the default of: 01/01/1900.
I tried to insert the data as string and sql server doesn't understand that format. Here's some of the code:
We're going from flat VSAM files to an sql server database. This is one huge sql insert statement with about 75 fields being loaded into a table so I'll only post one the date fields. Here's where I call the String functions from:
First, I have to uncomp the field from binary to String:
(lsDet1 is a concatenated String of the SQL Values to be inserted)
And Here are the two functions: The date field is coming in like: 1991112 where if the first character is a 1, the year is 1900 and if the first character is a 0, the year is 2000. I get correct fields in my message box like 1996/12/31 but then I don't know what sql server does to it in datetime format. When I check the database table it looks like: 01/12/1900
Maybe there is something wrong with my Convert_Date function;
Public Function CompToStr(aCompdata() As Byte) As String 'This is one way in which you can unpack a comp field. As I mentioned, 'you might be better off designing a flexible class to do the 'conversions. At minimum, this function should be expanded to 'accept a data picture as a param (decimal placement and so on).
Dim lsRtnStr As String Dim lsHoldStr As String Dim llCount As Long
For llCount = 1 To (UBound(aCompdata) + 1) Step 1 'loop thru the passed array. lsHoldStr = Hex(aCompdata(llCount - 1)) 'Convert the byte to a Hex string. If Len(Trim$(lsHoldStr)) = 1 Then 'if the highorder nibble was 0 lsHoldStr = "0" & Trim$(lsHoldStr) 'pad it with a leading zero. End If lsRtnStr = lsRtnStr & lsHoldStr 'Concat it to the return string. lsHoldStr = "" 'clear the var for the next pass. Next lsRtnStr = Replace$(lsRtnStr, "C", " ") 'Positive sign replacement. lsRtnStr = Replace$(lsRtnStr, "D", "-") 'Negative sign replacement. lsRtnStr = Replace$(lsRtnStr, "F", " ") 'Unsigned - implicit positive. lsRtnStr = Trim$(lsRtnStr)
llCount = 0 llCount = InStr(1, lsRtnStr, "-")

I have a table with datetime field in SQL server 7.0 I have inserted values into datetime field for eg: '10/10/99' '10/10/99 10:30 AM' '11/10/99 11:50 PM' When I view this table from enterprise manager, values are shown exactly in the same format I have entered. But, When I run the query from Query Analyzer, It always shows values in the following format '1999-10-10 00:00:00.000'
Is there a way that I can see the values in the same format I have entered.
My table has a column that is DATETIME data type. The original format likes "1/21/2004". I want to check data lengh. However when I read the data by SELECT, SQL Server change the format to "Jan.-21-2004" automatically. Does any one has an idea to keep original datetime format? Thanks.
Is there any standard function for inserting datetime values to an sql table. I'm having a problem because some operating systems are in english and some operating systemes are in spanish.. When I insert a value '2005-02-15 12:00:00' it works on the english operating system, but it doesn't in the spanish one... any ideas?
On displaying data in the gridview with sqldatasource in asp.net C# 2005 on the datetime datatype field i want to display only the date but it displays the time also on each and every row.
On the money datatype field i want to display the roundoff amount or with decimal upto 2places like 12,000.00 which is shown as 12,000.0000... I have seen the same question in previous topic also but don't got it so asking in my post...
Pls tell me some format to avoid this invalid data.
I need to insert a user_date_time_created field in the formatuser_name + date_time_created where the date_time_created isn't one ofthe standard formats but is yyyymmddhhnnss. I can get most of the waythere using CONVERT, but I can't stop e.g. 080705 hrs (8 hrs, 7minutes and 5 seconds) on March 6, 2008 being returned as20080306875 instead of20080306080705.How can I get those zeroes back in there?--Regards.Richard.
I have a column in a database set as a DATETIME datatype, when I select it, I want to return it as:
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm am or pm.
How in the world can I do this? I looked at the function CONVERT() and it doesnt seem to have this format as a valid type. This is causing me to lose my hair, in MySQL it is just so much easier. .
At any rate, currently when I select the value without any convert() it returns as:
