I have a varchar field which should contain dates but unfortunately it is fill with all sorts of imaginary formats which only the one who has typed may understand.
in a data set of 15000 rows most of them are like '1/15/2007'
and 305 roes are like the rest in the sample.
can you sugest ma a simple way to convert posible data to format '1/15/2007' format which i can use in a SELECT...INSERT STATEMENT and convert the rest to NULL
E.g, i have a store procedure. The start date is long date (4/15/2007 3:00pm). i want to select the start date with a particular date (short date format 4/15/2006). Thanks in advance.
I have a datetime column and I would like to update another column in the same table with the varchar value of date. e.g. date column has 06-08-2008 as a value. I would like to have the same value in the varchar field.
wondering which function can I use to accomplish this task?
Hi, Can any one help me in that case? I have 2 colomns one have the month (1,2,3,4,....,12) and the other have the years (2007,2008,....) I want to merge both in one date field MM/DD/YYYY and the day will always be '01' Thank you M.Maraghy
Hi guys. i have a field in a table which datatype is varchar and i m storing datetime and number in it.. but when i try to use select statement like ( between startdate and enddate) or number (= ) operator it's not working..
select * from table where cast(Field as datetime) between @startdate and @enddate
second query that i m trying to exectue is
select * from table where cast(Field as bigint) = @Fieldid
but both are not returning any value...can anyone tells me where i m doing mistake
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 this stored procedure, and im trying to figured out how i can convert the date field into something i can actually sort in the right order in reporting services. Such as mm-dd-yy , whats the SQL code for doing that?
Precisely, here's what I need:When I run getdate(), I get, for example:August 9 2004 5:17 P.M.I want to turn the date portion into:8/9/2004 format and update one column with itI want to turn 5:17 P.M. into:hhmmss and update another column with it.I've been playing around with datepart, with substr, with you name it,and I'm stumped.Any code samples, other help most appreciated.Thanks,Google Jenny*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
Let me start by saying that I'm brand new to SQL Server 2005 and SSIS. I'm using the import wizard in SQL2005 to import from a flat file into a table and everything works fine except for dates. A typical date in my flat file is 01-JAN-06. 01 represents the day of the week, JAN represents the month and 06 represents the year. The flat file also contains date values of 00-XXX-00 which represent no date. For example a column containing last purchase date data would look like this:"DateOfLastOrder" "01-JAN-06" "02-JAN-06" "00-XXX-00" "03-DEC-05"The value of 00-XXX-00 means that there is no purchase date.I want to bring these columns into my table and replace the 00-XXX-00 values with a NULL.
The table Data Type is datetime.
If I use the import wizard using the example above I get this error message:
- Copying to [cpstest].[dbo].[date] (Error) Messages Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

If I remove the 00-XXX-00 values and import something like this:
The data is comming in from a CSV as a string. I am happy to get the day and year, its just converting the month (eg "AUG") into I a valid number.
I was thinking Lookup, but that only seems to work against a datasource. I can create a lookup table for it to work against but that seemed a bit clunky.
I have a table that has a DATE field named. AccountingDate that is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. It's not a VARCHAR field. I simply want to convert this date field into the format MM/DD/YYYY and call it New_Accounting_Date.
I've played with various combinations of CAST & CONVERT but haven't been able to get it to work.
Below is my latest effort which returns the error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
What code would work to return a MM/DD/YYYY value for New_Accounting_Date?
Select GLBATCH.AccountingDate, convert(GLBATCH.AccountingDate as date),101) AS New_Accounting_Date from GLBATCH
I need to open and read a text file using C#. Once I have read all of the values from the text file, I will need to insert some of those values into a SQL Server database table. One of the values read from the text file will be a date in the format YearMonthDay. For example: 20070601 So my problem is that I don't know how to convert this date into the date format that is expected for a SQL server datetime value. Can someone help me out. How do I do this?
declare @deadline Datetime = '2014-03-23 15:30:10.000' SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),@deadline, 100) AS DateConvert ----With this I am able to produce that like ----o/p: Mar 23 2014 3:30PM
HI All, 1)I have a question. I have a column in nvarchar format which is called close_date and is in the following format: 29.02.2008 ( example). I need to convert it to date format.I also add that data conversion not working as column apper blank on table. Do you have any idea?
2)Also the second problem is how to unzip the file stored on the shared drive in the package before uploading.
I've got a field I'm trying to convert into a date format as it currently sits as a text field. The date setup is of the format DD/MM/YYYY. Some of the fields are NULL, however for the sake of filling in gaps I've just set the nulls to '01-01-1905'.
I've tried to use CAST to change the data into a readable format for SQL Server however I tend to get one of two messages:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
Im working with a breaking system and I wont to convert the (FROM) datetime column to accept just time like (4:00:00 AM) without the date (7/23/2004) but it doesn’t have column format like the access ?? I found something in the SQL help :
How to convert the format of a Date Time String transformation (Enterprise Manager) To convert the format of a Date Time String transformation 1.On the Transformations tab of the Transform Data Task Properties or Data Driven Query Task Properties dialog box, click the Source column containing the date or time to be modified, and then click the Destination column where you want the modified string to be placed. 2.Do one of the following: •If there is a mapping arrow connecting the two columns, click Delete, and then click New. •If there is no mapping arrow, click New. 3.In the Create New Transformation dialog box, click DateTime String. 4.Click the General tab, and then click Properties. 5.In the Date Format list, select the format you want. 6.Click Naming to display the Calendar Names dialog box, where you can select long or short day or month names and the A.M. and P.M. designators you want. 7.In the Language list, select the language you want, and then click Set Language Defaults. But unfortunately I didn't find the "Transformations tab" I look a lot in the SQL Enterprise Manager
Do anybody work with the Transformations or at least know where is it please ???
Please find below my query and result , how to display [Total Service Time ] in HH:Min format (Currently values in minutes)

I have two fields DSRHADTI which is an isodate and DSRHTIME which is 8 char time field in format 10.31.00. I want to take both these fields and put them into a field that is database timestamp so I have converted DSRHDATI to 10 character field. I am then trying to use substring to put both into 18 character field using derived column transformation editor. but it does not like the below. It's red syntax error what am I missing.
(SUBSTRING(Copy of DSRHDATI,1,4) +' /' + SUBSTRING( Copy of DSRHDATI,6,2) + '/ ' + SUBSTRING(Copy of DSRHDATI,9,2)) + SUBSTRING(DSRHTIME,1,2) + '.' + SUBSTRING(DSRHTIME,4,2) + '.' + SUBSTRING(DSRHTIME,7,2)
One I get the above to work I plan on convert 18 char to datetimestamp.
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
* That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.
I am trying get my VB6 application to insert a record into a table (SQL Express) which has a datetime column but it would not process if the data format is differ to *American Date format*.
The date() function in VB returns 15/11/2006 which is in Australian Date format (DD/MM/YYYY) according to my setting in "Reginal and Lanuage Option-> Locale 0> English (Australia)" setting.
I get the following error:
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Server KITSQLEXPRESS, Line 1 The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value. The statement has been terminated.
My computer's locale is set to English (Australia) and I expect the datetime format would follow what is set in system locale
I've read an article somewhere on the net about how SQL 2005 eliminate the confusion of date conversion when read/write datetime records into a table...but it seems to me that it is still as in-flexible as MS Access
Is there a setting in the database that takes care of it?
I am stuck at one place, where I have to convert CSV format file data into SAP IDOC format file. In SSIS we don't have any such SAP adapter (though we have .NET Data Provider for mySAP suite [SSIS SAP Adapter] but this is still not fully supported by Microsoft, plus it doesn't have feature to convert data into IDOC format) that can do this. Can someone here please provide me some pointers on any third party adapters available in market to do this job or if anyone has already developed some custom approach to achieve this task?
Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.
