View 3 Replies View RelatedHi There,
I would like to find the sum of a column with a date format of '01:10:10' which is the hours:minutes:seconds from multiple rows.
For instance, "01:50:10" + "01:20:5" = "3:10:15"
Any ideas?

I have a column of data that is the number of seconds. I need to format this column into the HH:MMS format. If there are 130 seconds the second column should read 00:02:10. How can I accomplish this in report builder or is it even possible in Report builder? I can use the following formula in SQL but is there a way to do it in Report Builder?
CONVERT(varchar(6), talktime / 3600) + ':' + RIGHT('0' + CONVERT(varchar(2),
talktime % 3600 / 60), 2) + ':' + RIGHT('0' + CONVERT(varchar(2), talktime % 60), 2)
Thanks
In BIDS, I created a time dimension using the wizard. Unfortunately, the template used by the wizard does not contain Hours, Minutes and Seconds; so, I added them using the designer. Now, when I try to build, deploy and process I get the error: Unable to find matching TimeAttributeType. Cannot anyone explain why this is happening and what can be done about? Is there a template available somewhere that does create time dimensions with time and not just dates?

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

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).

declare @separator char

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,

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!

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"];
sqlConnection1.Close();
The stored procedure on the SQL-server looks like so. StartDate is of DateTime type.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[get_startdate]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@ActivityGroupID int
AS
BEGIN
SELECT StartDate
FROM dbo.CurrentGroup
WHERE ActivityGroupID = @ActivityGroupID
END
I appreciate any help!
I am new to SQL and trying my hand at what I thought would be a simple query to bring back the loan products that are not HMDA reportable - hence the NOT IN and I get an error message after adding the NOT IN...I have read a lot of responses to the issue of an error message of 'Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value' to try and solve the error - and have had no luck. Before I throw my laptop out the window..Here is the error message along with what I thought was a simple query; Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '80/10/10' to data type int.Here is the query;
SELECT
P.ProductID,
P.Name,
PC.Name AS [Product Group],
LP.Name AS [Loan Purpose],
CASE WHEN LP.IsHMDAReportableFL = 0 THEN 'No' ELSE 'Yes' END AS [HMDA Reportable],
[code]...
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?
