Converting Date Field From Informix To SQL Nvarchar
Apr 13, 2004
I copying data from our Informix 7.2 database into SQL Server 2K using DTS but hitting errors during the process. There appears to be date data within Informix that will not convert properly when moving into SQL. Since the error is appearing at the 1.5million (approx.) record. I figured on changing from datetime to nvarchar. Works like a charm! :-)
My new problem is converting it back to datetime so I can query against the date without having to create scripts to parse the field.
The data in SQL currently looks like this -> 2000-11-29 (nvarchar(50))
I would like to have it -> 11/29/00 (datetime)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

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 convert a decimal date value to a date value that I can use in formulas but am having a lot of trouble.My date value currently shows in decimal format YYYYMMDD. I want to convert this to a date so I can then find the number of days between two dates.I have tried convert (datetime, convert(varchar(8),left(qhstdt,8))) with qhstdt as my decimal date field but I receive the error message below:
Error: SQL0204 - CONVERT in *LIBL type *N not found.
I have also tried converting it using (year(QHSTDT)*10000+100*month(QHSTDT)+ day(QHSTDT))) but when I convert the dates using this formula, I can get an incorrect number of days when I try to subtract one from the other.What formula can I use to convert my YYYYMMDD field to a format that will allow me to compare number of days between two dates?

How can I create a field in a view that takes a date field andconverts it to a month?For instance, if I have a field called "CreatedOn" with a date of'2/22/2007', how can I create another field called "Month" that willsay "February"? Is there a built-in SQL function that does this (likeusing CONVERT) or do I need to write my own?Thanks!Lisa

I have a very strange situation. I've increased the size of an NVARCHAR field from 8 to 9 in a database table. The format of the data that I enter will either be an 8 character field (123456-8) or a 9 character field (1234567-9). The '-' is critical.
It used to only accept the 8 character version, but after increasing the field size, if I try to insert the 9 character field version, it gets truncated after the '-', as though it's still only allowing 8 characters. But that only occurs when I include the '-' or other such characters like '#'. If I try to insert 1234567a9, it works. The following explains the outcomes:
Inserted Value -> Result in table
123456-8 -> 123456-8 *Correct
1234567-9 -> 1234567- *Wrong
123456789 -> 123456789 *Correct
1234567#9 -> 1234567# *Wrong
1234567a9 -> 1234567a9 *Correct
Why is it that characters such as '-' and '#' are truncating the value, but only if the string is 9 chars long?
I'm currently using a direct t-sql insert statement in SQLExpress. The field is a simple NVARCHAR(9) field.

Hello all,
I'm trying to convert a nvarchar datatype to int
(ie:1234-56-78 to 12345678) . These values are primary keys in two tables. Both these tables have 3500 rows of this key type. I want to convert this to a int so I can make it a AutoNumber primary key so I can increment it. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it. Do I need to delete the dashes first some how? I fairly new to database adminstration, so any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

I am trying to read an Informix 9.3 blob field into a TSQL (SQL Server Stored Procedure) and the data type conversion is not supported thru the MS ODBC Driver installed with Win2000/SQL2000. Does anyone know of another method to retrieve this data, or of a vendor that provides an ODBC driver that supports the Informix blob data type. Thanks!

Hi all
I want to pass a list of nvarchar characters to my procedure, then import them into a temporary table as numeric(5,2) numbers.
The code below does this but the values are corrupted (e.g. 76.25 becomes 7 in the table).
Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!
declare @separator_position int
declare @array_value nvarchar
declare @separator char
DECLARE @numberList NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @numberList = '23|76.25|100.36|45.54|87.14|74.25|8|98|'
SET @separator = '|'
SET @separator_position = NULL
SET @array_value = NULL
DECLARE @myTable TABLE(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1), compLevel NUMERIC(5,2))
WHILE patindex('%' + @separator + '%', @numberList) <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT @separator_position = patindex('%' + @separator + '%' , @numberList)
SELECT @array_value = LEFT(@numberList, @separator_position - 1)
INSERT INTO @myTable (compLevel) VALUES (CONVERT(NUMERIC(5,2), @array_value))
SELECT @numberList = stuff(@numberList, 1, @separator_position, '')
END

Hi,
I used to work with Sql 2000 and I could easily import a text file into my database and then convert the fields (all nvarchar) to appropriate data types. However, this procedure does not work with Sql 2005.
After I import a text file to Sql 2005 and when I convert nvarchar to numeric, I get "Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric".
Could you please let me know how can I fix this issue. Thanks in advance for your reply.

One of my clients decided to put letters into their customers' account numbers. They have a numbering scheme where all temporary accounts have a letter in the account OR are numbered greater than 33000, and all permanent accounts are all digits and less than or equal to 33000. all primary accounts have a NumberSuffix of 000.
Now i am tasked with retrieving all primary, non-temp accounts. I cannot simply do WHERE Number <= 33000 because when it gets to an account containing a letter like "00A01", it craps out and says "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '00A01' to data type int."
So decided to run a filtering query first to filter out all accounts with letters, and then from that dataset select all accounts <=33000.
WITH members (FirstName, LastName, Number, NumberSuffix) AS
(
SELECT
dbo.Entity.FirstName,
dbo.Entity.LastName,
dbo.Entity.Number,
dbo.Entity.NumberSuffix
FROM
dbo.Entity
WHERE
NumberSuffix = 000 AND
Number NOT LIKE '%A%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%B%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%C%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%D%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%E%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%F%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%G%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%H%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%I%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%J%'
)
SELECT *
FROM
members
WHERE
Number <= 33000
ORDER BY
Number
when i do this, i get the same error for some reason. Yet when i execute this at the end instead:
SELECT *
FROM
members
WHERE
Number LIKE '%A%'
ORDER BY
Number
i get an empty set (meaning it actually does get filtered).
but somehow it still able to participate in a range comparison?
WHY??
thanks,
Leon

Hi,
I get "Error converting data type nvarchar to int." It is some kind of SQL exception. This is the code in my application.
SqlConnection sqlConnection1 = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
Object start;
string activityID = Session["activitygroupID"].ToString();
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ActivityGroupID", activityID);
cmd.CommandText = "get_startdate";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1;
sqlConnection1.Open();
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader(); //The code stops here!!!
start = reader["StartDate"];

Exception in one of the stored procs:
Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value to datatype int. After moving database from 2000 to 2005.
Using backup and restore.
Note I had the same issue after restoring the production database on my local server SQL2000->SQL2000.
The problem was solved by restoring master and msdb from the production. But I can't do this on the SQL2005.
This is not a collation issue as I have ensured collation is the same on all databases including the system ones.
The database in question makes extensive use of user defined data types (Which I have recreated on the destination server).
Can anyone please help?
