Hi 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.

Is 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.
convert(char(15), process_date,112) as process_dt
I need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.
I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits.
The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable
mfg_start_date = CStr(CDate(Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 3, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 5, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2)))
option 1
I will have to declare the mfg_start_date as date but I need to send in a blank value for this variable in the stored procedure. It won't accept a null or blank value.
With refresh_shipping_sched
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.CommandText = "spRefresh_shipping_sched"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("ret_val", adInteger, adParamReturnValue)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@option", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, update_option)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_ord_num", adChar, adParamInput, mfg_ord_num_length, "")
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_start_date", adChar, adParamInput, 10, "")
Set rs_refresh_shipping_sched = .Execute
End
Please help
I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE"Â .
How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?
I tried:
CONVERT(varchar(8),TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CONVERT(Date,TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)
**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.

Hello,
I have a table with a column that is currently a varchar(50), but I want to convert it into an int. When I try to just change the type in design mode I get an error that conversion cannot proceed. When I look at the field it appears some of the entries have special characters appended at the end, I see a box after the value.
How can I remove all speical characters and then convert that field to an int?
Also I tried the following query which did not work as well, same error about conversion.
UPDATE myTable SET field = CAST(field AS int)
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.
What options do I have that will work?
I am trying to populate a field in a SQL table based on the valuesreturned from using substring on a text field.Example:Field Name = RecNumField Value = 024071023The 7th and 8th character of this number is the year. I am able toget those digits by saying substring(recnum,7,2) and I get '02'. Nowwhat I need to do is determine if this is >= 50 then concatenate a'19' to the front of it or if it is less that '50' concatenate a '20'.This particular example should return '2002'. Then I want to take theresult of this and populate a field called TaxYear.Any help would be greatly apprecaietd.Mark
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am very new to using SQL. Our department usually uses Brio to query the various databases under our control. However, I have recently come against a problem that prompted me to create a custom SQL query which works well as far as it goes. My problem is looking for specific conditions in billing information I receive monthly. I would like to compare on of the date fields contained in the database with a field in the form of YYYYMM (200710, for October 2007) I have created a custom column generator that forms a date from the YYYYMM. I would like, however, do the translation on the fly and make the comparison during the query. The problem is that query without the date check returns a mass of data, only about 1 percent of which is what I want.
The beginning of the SQL query looks like this:
FROM From.T_Crs_Tran_Dtl WHERE T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo IN ('200710', '200711', '200712') AND ((T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Crs_Cde IN ('1G', '1V') AND (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Dptr_Dte < LastDay(ToDate(Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 5, 2 )& "/1/"&Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 1, 4 )))) AND (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Prev_Stats_Cde IN (' ', 'TK', 'TL') AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Cur_Stats_Cde IN ('TK', 'TL') AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Std_Tran_Typ_Cde='B') OR (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Prev_Stats_Cde='UN' AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Cur_Stats_Cde='XX' AND€¦
It is the €œ(T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Dptr_Dte < LastDay(ToDate(Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 5, 2 )& "/1/"&Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 1, 4 )))) AND€? part of the query that is just plain wrong. The business part of this statement takes the YYYYMM field and turns it into a date which is the last day of YYYYMM.
I hope someone out there can help me with making this comparison.
I appreciate your help.

Hi
I'm extracting a char(2) field from a table that has a value of '1' and writing it to another table but want the output field to be padded with a zero. I have tried this below:
right('00' + isnull(Field1, ' '),2
but the output field comes out as '1 ' (that's 1 followed by a space). Does anyone have any idea how I can do this or please point out what I'm doing wrong in my 'right(' fucntion above.
Thanks,

I have been asked to investigate the feasibility of converting an Invoice Number field from 6 to 7 digits, and allowing alpha characters. This means CHAR. The Invoice Number is not used outside of the application, but changes would have to be made to the database, and VB code that runs the app. Any ideas on how to proceed?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
ok, so we have a field in one of our db's, a do_not_synch field. this field has a datatype of char...
the following sql statement does not update the field..
update contacts
set do_not_synch = 'Y'
where id=1
and if i open up the table in sql server management studio, and cannot type in and save the value Y...yes i can update other fields in this row...so its not a permissions issue?
is there anything special i should have to do?

Hi,
I have a varchar field that contains values to represent the month and year in the format mmyy (eg. 0107, 0207, 0307 etc).
I want to be able to select the value that is 6 months before the current month and year, for example if I were running the query in the current month/year (April 08) I would return the value 1007 (October 07).
Is someone able to help me with this please?
Thanks
I need help. I'm one step short of getting what I need.
Here is what I have:
SELECT FilteredIncident.accountidname, FilteredIncident.ticketnumber, FilteredIncident.createdon, FilteredIncident.modifiedon, FilteredIncident.new_enduserfirstname,
FilteredIncident.new_enduserlastname, FilteredIncident.responsiblecontactidname, FilteredIncident.statuscodename, FilteredIncident.title,
SUM(FilteredActivityPointer.actualdurationminutes) AS TotalTime
FROM FilteredActivityPointer LEFT OUTER JOIN
FilteredIncident ON FilteredIncident.incidentid = FilteredActivityPointer.regardingobjectid
GROUP BY FilteredIncident.accountidname, FilteredIncident.ticketnumber, FilteredIncident.createdon, FilteredIncident.modifiedon, FilteredIncident.new_enduserfirstname,
FilteredIncident.new_enduserlastname, FilteredIncident.responsiblecontactidname, FilteredIncident.statuscodename, FilteredIncident.title
HAVING (FilteredIncident.accountidname = @accountid) AND ((FilteredActivityPointer.actualstart >= @billtime) OR (FilteredIncident.statuscodename <> N'Problem Solved'))
This pulls everything that started after a certain date (@billtime) AND everything that is not closed. This is what I want; however, I need the SUM(FilteredActivityPointer.actualdurationminutes) AS TotalTime to only calculate the TotalTime after the @billtime regardless of the status. I can easily code in the date in the format 03/04/2008 but I haven't figured out how to do it successfully. I tried an IIF within the SUM and just got a syntax error (I'm assuming it is because FilteredActivityPointer.actualstart is a date/time.)
Essentially, I need a report that shows all open tickets in the system AND all tickets that have been worked on since a specific date regardless of status that only totals the time spent during that date range.
Many thanks to anyone who can help.

I have a table with several million rows of data. There is a date field defined as a char(8) with some bad rows. i tried to locate them with below
select date_stopped from patient_medication
where isdate(convert(datetime,date_stopped)) = 1
This won't work, I get the

The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value
Any way around this?

Can someone comment on why joining two tables on CHAR fields of different lengths would generate unexpected results?
I had an issue where I ran an update that used an inner join on two tables. The field I used in the join was char(50) in one table and char(13) in another table. The result gave bad matches. After changing the field types both to varchar(30), the problem was eliminate.
Any comments on this would be appreciated.

I am attempting to find quotes (") in a column and replace with the string '--THIS-WAS-QUOTES--'. Right now my script only converts the first quote it finds in the description column, converts to the string and moves to the next row leaving the other quotes as they were. Below is my query script
DECLARE @find varchar(8000),
@replace varchar(8000),
@patfind varchar(8000)
SELECT @find = '"',
@replace = '--THIS-WAS-QUOTES--'
SELECT @patfind = '%' + @find + '%'
UPDATE Incident
SET description = STUFF(convert( varchar(8000), description ),
PATINDEX( @patfind, description ),
DATALENGTH( @find ),
@replace )
WHERE description LIKE @patfind

Would it be OK to use varchar(5) instead of char(5) as the first field of acomposite clustered index?My gut tells me that varchar would be a bad idea, but I am not finding muchinformation on this topic on this when I Google it.Currently the field is Char(4), and there is a need to increase it to hold 5characters.TIA

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?

Hi,
I'm not entirely sure that this is the correct forum for this question but it relates to my SSIS package.
I am currently implementing an SSIS package to replace an existing stored procedure which is getting very unmanageable. I have come across a part in the stored procedure which performs a convert(datetime, @Parameter3, 14) on a string of data. The string value of @Parameter3 is in the following format HH:mm:ss.
The problem i am having is how to implement similar functionality in a script task. everything i have tried involving the datetime object returns 1,1,0001, 00:00:00 or similar. It never seems to get the time so that it can be passed to a datetime field in the database.
Thanks in advance for any help that is provided.
