Hi,
I am getting a date string that is contained in a character field (char(20)).
An example of the data is as follows:
2005-09-20121315001
it is in the format YYYY-MM-DDHHMMSSMMM.
I want to insert this value into a datetime field. I have used convert, but can only insert it when I split out the time portion and separate them with a colon
i.e. to get it to insert into a datetime field the data has to be in the following format
2005-09-20 13:15:18.001
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMM
Is there a style parameter in the convert function that will allow me to insert this value without having to separate the hours/minutes/seconds with a colon? I have tried BOL but it seems that all the examples have colons in them where there is a time portion to the date,
Thanks in advance
Hi! I need to insert character data into a SQL 2005 table in the datetime format. The strings I need to convert are in the following format: ddmmyyyy
I tried using case and convert:
cast('08162006' as datetime))
convert(datetime,'08162006',101))
Both attempts fail with the following error:
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I am inserting date and time data into a SQL Server 2012 Express table from an application. The application is providing the date and time as a string data type.

I am trying to access a date column up to millisecond precession. So I cast date to as follows:
Code BlockCONVERT(varchar(23),CREATE_DATE,121)
I get millisecond part as a result of query but it€™s €œ000€?.
When I try to test the format by using getDate instead of DateTime column I get right milliseconds.
CONVERT(varchar(23),GetDate(),121) --Gives right milliseconds in return
I am loading a flat file to a table but I also need to scrub the data a bit before the data hits the table. The main update required is converting a dot (.) character to a null value. The source file is using this character to indicate a blank. I know I can use the Dervived Column Transformation, but I have quite a few columns which will take a while to manually configure. Is there another transformation option that anyone can point me to?
Thanks
hi,
How do i convert a varchar field into the datetime data type? the reason i need this lies in the requirement that in the earlier data base the column that is hlding the date value is having the data type as varchar. and in the new design the column data type is datetime. i am using sql scripts for the data migration from the older design to the newer and got stuck with this datetime convertion issue. do let me know the best possible solution.
following are the sample data that is theer in the older table for the date.
12/12/2003
1/13/2007
01132004
1-1-2004

there is no uniformity of the data that is stored currently.

I want to show the o/p of a cursor on a single line. There is a numeric variable that needs to be clubed with the character variable. If I use char() the o/p is not right.
How do I do that?
Hi there,
I have the following code:

For our DataWarehouse, we get several date fields from our mainframe system in a character format. When this data was loaded into SQL Server 6.5 using the CONVERT(DATETIME...) function, any dates containing 'bad' data would simply be replaced by a NULL automatically by the DBMS. We are now going to SQL 7.0, and I have found that when it hits a bad date it terminates the stored procedure, resulting with no update.
Is there a straightforward way around this? Possibly a script that will scrub the data, replacing bad data with NULLs? I'm trying to avoid writing something that will take the number of days per month and determine if it is valid.
Thanks

Can anyone tell me what this error message means and how I can correct it on my statement:
Code:
Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
Here's my query statement:
Code:
SELECT animalid AS "Animal ID", name AS "Name", categoryid AS "Category ID", DATENAME(MONTH, dateBorn) + ' ' + DATENAME(DAY, dateBorn) + ', ' + DATENAME(YEAR, dateBorn) AS "Date of Birth"FROM animalWHERE categoryid = 'Cat' AND dateBorn = 'May%'
I know it has something to do with: dateBorn = 'May%' because when I took out Quote: AND dateBorn = 'May%' I get results, but I need to narrow it down to list the cats born in May.
I am trying to select all members from a SQL db who have a renewal date btw to dates inputted into two text fields, but I am now getting the error above. This is where the problem is coming in...

StrSQL = strSQL & " AND "
Else
StrSQL = strSQL & " WHERE deleted=0 AND "
End If
strSQL = strSQL & "renewal_due BETWEEN '%" & Replace(strStartDate,"'","''") & "%' AND '%" & Replace(strEndDate,"'","''") & "%' "
End If
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi There,
I am trying to create a report that sums up new cases weekly based on the previous 5 months. I have included some sample data below. The only field that displays a date is called monthSubmitted, varchar 7 and not very useful. How can I first convert this firld to a date ddmmyy?
How would you the code it so the user can run the report on demand at any given time and display the data for the last 5 months on a weekly basis? I am not sure as to how the date calculations should be coded.

I have a field that contains number but it actually is character. I want to convert it to number so i can put it into query like this:
sum(field) as Totalmyfield.
Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string. I am getting this error while inserting values in the DB from my application. I have done insertion before too , but i never receive this strange error but when I insert the same thing manually then i didn't get this error ...
The format I used is also yyyy-mm-dd then how to solve this error?????????
Probably one of the easiest queries some have seen around, but good ol' MS and their dates. I can't get around this error on this simple query. It will be a job that will run probably several times a day. I haven't even gotten passed to the second part of it....I've also seen this error is a VERY popular error, even with advanced programmers it seems. WOW. Basically, I want to keep the row count to 2 days. Well, if you have any suggestions, I'd take 'em. Thanks!

I'm new to SQL and I've been trying this for a while now.
I have let's say a loop of numbers from one to ten. It appears like this:
1
2
3

What I want to do is to have it appear on one column like this: 12345, the problem is I can't seem to figure out if I need to only have one variable or I'm missing something else, I figured you need to convert them into a string character but I'm still unable to do it.

I am trying to write a SP in Query Analyzer before I start the code from a web form to acces it.
Here is the SQL:
-------------------------------------------

DECLARE @EndDateRange DateTime
SET @cReportGroups = '''VCCEddieBauer'',''VCCEddieBauerDirect'', ''VCCEddieBauerOrder'', ''VCCEddieBauerOvernight'', ''VCCEddieBauerSpanish'', ''VCCEddieBauerCustomerService'''
SET @StartDateRange = '09-16-2007'
SET @EndDateRange = '01-31-2008'
BEGIN
Declare @sql As Varchar(800)
Set @sql = 'SELECT ttalkacd, cName, dIntervalStart, cReportGroup' +
' FROM IAgentQueueStats ' +' WHERE dIntervalStart >= ' + @StartDateRange
---- ' AND dIntervalStart <= ' + EndDateRange +

Just trying to get the first >= filter working before I fill in the >= working to complete the date range logic.
But I keep getting this conversion error.
Why does SQL think that anything is a character string?All dates are declared as DateTime.I have tried a bunch of combinations like Convert(DateTime, @StartDateRange, 101).Nothing seems to work.
Here's the deal. I'm a newbie trying to update a date (@Effective) in sql server. I've been trying all sorts of things, but nothing seems to work. Here's my current code:
Sub btnUpdate_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim sqlStmt As String
Dim conString As String
Dim cn As SqlConnection
Dim cmd As SqlCommand
Dim sqldatenull As SqlDateTime
Try
sqlStmt = "UPDATE [Submission] SET [Effective]=Convert(DateTime, '@Effective', 101), "& _
"[Status]=@Status WHERE ([Submission].[Submission]=@Submission)"
conString = "server='(local)'; user id='sa'; password='password'; database='database'"
cn = New SqlConnection(conString)
cmd = New SqlCommand(sqlStmt, cn)
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Submission", SqlDbType.Int, 4))
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Effective", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10))
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Status", SqlDbType.VarChar, 8))
sqldatenull = SqlDateTime.Null
If (txtEffective.Text = "") Then
cmd.Parameters("@Effective").Value = sqldatenull
Else
cmd.Parameters("@Effective").Value = txtEffective.Text
End If
cmd.Parameters("@Status").Value = dropStatus.SelectedItem.Text
cmd.Parameters("@Submission").Value = LabelSubmission.Text
cn.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cn.Close()
Response.Redirect("main.aspx")
Catch ex As Exception
lblError.Text = ex.Message
Finally
cn.Close()
End Try
End Sub
My db is setup as follows:
Submissionint4
Insuredvarchar30
Statevarchar2
Effective datetime 8
Underwritervarchar9
Statusvarchar8
Cleareddatetime 9

Somewhere, either in the
aspx.vb code, or the stored procedure that's being called, it doesn't

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm having a strange problem with the following stored proc:
Code:
sql
declare @orderBy tinyint
set @orderBy = 2
SELECT tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered, count(movieSessionID) As sessionsCount FROM tblUsers
LEFT JOIN tblMovieSessions on tblUsers.userID = tblmovieSessions.userID
Group By tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered
Order By Case
WHEN @orderBy = 2 THEN firstName
WHEN @orderBy = 3 THEN dateRegistered
WHEN @orderBy = 4 THEN count(movieSessionID)
else lastName
End desc
When I execute it with @orderBy = 1 or 2 I get the following error message: Quote: Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
However, with @orderBy = 3 or 4 it executes successfully.
I don't understand why this change should have this impact because the error seems to be occuring on the first line (i.e. SELECT...).
If I take the dateRegistered column out of the query I get a new error message:
Quote:
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'Adam' to a column of data type int.
I don't understand why it is trying to convert these columns during the query anyway, let alone how to solve the problem.
Anyone got any ideas?
I am using INSERT to replace about 160 fields for one company in the company table, all goes well until I come to the Rn_edit_date field which is a datetime datatype. When I insert the value of:
cast('2005-03-15 09:25:44.463' as datetime)
Error message as a result is: Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
NOTE: 2005-03-15 09:25:44.463 is the correct format which all other companies abide by, so I'm totally lost at where I'm going wrong?

I have a field that has dates that are currently set as a string. Dates are as follows:
Apr 01 2006
Aug 20 2006
Aug 20 2006
I did an isdate() function on the field to see if it can be converted and it came back as true; however, I have attempted several different ways to convert the field to a date field and it continues to give me a syntax error. Any assistance would be great!!!
I tried:
convert(datetime,cast(New_Date as varchar),100)
convert(varchar(25),New_Date,107)
Both gave me syntax errors.
When I convert this data into a datetime, i get the foll error.
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
SELECT convert(datetime,'09/2007')
Basically I have a field in a tbl that has varchar datatype, and is in this format of mm-yyyy. I need to compare this value to current date and so I convert it to datetime. but it errs

Good Morning:
I received the above error message when I try to convert a field to a date.
Here is the line of sql:
convert(datetime, cast(EligibilityEndDate as char(8)), 112) as EligibilityEndDate,
EligibilityEndDate is stored as an integer in our source system, so dates display 20080201.
Looks like the data is not a correct date.
If I just bring in the field as is, and load results into a text file or Access, I can't see the offending record.
The query returns around 320K records.
Is there another way of finding the invalid record(s)?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am trying to insert an entry into my database, but I keep on getting the following error: "Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string." My query is a parameterized T-SQL query (i.e. "INSERT INTO blah (name, dob) VALUES (@name, '@dob')"), and I have initialized the SqlCommand object by doing: sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@name", "Captain America");
sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@dob", birthdate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy h:mm tt");
sqlCon.Open();
sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlCon.Close();
The dob field in the table 'blah' is a smalldatetime datatype, and in the code above, the birthdate object is a DateTime object.
I can insert into my database using a normal T-SQL through Management Studio,
For example, INSERT INTO blah (name, dob) VALUES ('Captain America', '11/27/1923 12:34 PM')
But it doesn't work when I try doing it the way I have listed above. It's really annoying because I don't know how to debug or if it is possible to debug the query. So first off, I want to ask, does anyone know how why this exception is occuring? Secondly, is it possible to debug the query? and if yes, how? And finally, is there a way for me to extract the T-SQL query sent to the SQL Server with the parameters filled in their values? For example, after adding all parameters to the SqlCommand via sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(), can I get the T-SQL query that is sent to the server?
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Synchronization_GetNewRecords(@item varchar(50),@last datetime)ASSET NOCOUNT ONDECLARE @sql nvarchar(4000)SET @sql = 'SELECT * FROM ' + @item + ' WHERE LastUpdated >' + @lastEXEC sp_executesql @sql, N'@Type varchar(50), @Last datetime', @item, @lastThis is my SP. Very simple. But it is throwing the error in the subject line.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
