I am using a SQL Server 2005 database for my ASP.NET 2.0 project.
How does SQL Server 2005 store datetime values? How does it display datetime values in query results?
Does it store datetime values as UTC time by default? If not, how do I control the timezone at which to store datetime values? What if, in my ASP.NET 2.0 application, I set a DateTime object in the SqlCommand Parameters collection? Would the timezone be automatically determined from the DateTime object, allowing SQL Server to make any necessary adjustment before storing the value?
Does it display datetime values in query results at local timezone by default? If so, is it possible to control, at SQL level, the timezone at which to display the datetime value?
The situation is that I have a query where a [thing] is supposed toend, in the sense that I don't want it to be pulled back in the query,at a certain time (end_date), but that is determined by the timezonethat [thing] is located in (end_timezone).Basically, I want to say:1) If the current record has a timezone not equal to the current timezone, which is mountain, then change the end_date being pulled back toreflect the time zone2) Then, only pull back records that are scheduled to end before thattime.I know this statement isn't valid, but I'll post it here to try toconvey what I'm attempting:select end_date, end_timezone,CASEend_timezoneWHEN 'ET' THEN DATEADD(hh, 2, end_date)WHEN 'CT' THEN DATEADD(hh, 1, end_date)WHEN 'PT' THEN DATEADD(hh, -1, end_date)ELSE end_dateEND AS theEndDatefrom offerswhere end_timezone = 'PT'and theEndDate >= {ts '2006-01-31 14:01:27'}Of course, this statement fails. Any suggestions on how to do what I'mtrying to do?Thanks!
Are there any function in SQL Server 2005 which can help to calculate the total no. of days and months? Let's said if I provide 2 dates, 28-Feb-2001 and 01-Mar-2004, it can return 36 Months and 2 Days. The concept is like the function months_between in Oracle. Are there any function in SQL Server 2005 can achieve this?
Hi there I have an application running in two development environments, one using a sql server 2005 database and the other using a 2000 database. The application works on the 2000 database but when i try to insert values into the 2005 database the date format is incorrect (mm/dd/yyyy). I've checked the regional data settings on both machines and they are identical. The application (which i inherited) uses inline sql and when i dump the values before the sql command is run i get dd/mm/yyyy for the app running 2005 and mm/dd/yyyy for the app on 2000. I'm trying to determine if this is an issue with the machine itself and the .net framework installed or infact the two different versions on sql server. thanks
How to replace DateTime field with null value in SQL 2005 server I create a stored procedure aa, It works well, but sometimes I hope to replace CreateDate field with null value,I don't know how to doIt seems that datetime type is not null value create aa @CreateDate DatetimeAsUpdate cw set CreateDate=@CreateDate
Im trying run a stored procedure, but I am getting the following message when trying to execute it.
Implicit conversion from data type datetime to int is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
which seems strange, as there is no integer going to a datetime field. Also, it does not return the value that is incorrect, nor the parameter that is failing. If there is anyway to view this in VS 2005 Team suite, please let me know.
It should also be noted that when I execute this sproc from within sql management studio, it executes fine.
This is the stored procedure im trying to execute...
in my .net app, all the datetime objects are valid dates, so I could not see why this would be generating the error that it is, so I ran the SQL Profiler, and this was the output. Again, i cannot see where im going wrong...
please note, I have seperated the output from the single slab of text, making sure I didnt remove anything...
I'm importing data form an Excel file to a Sql Server Database. Some of the data imported represents time as a double type so i convert the times into DateTime to be inserted into the database. The time values that aren't available in the Excel file are 0.. so what i want to do is insert null into the database for all the values that are 0 in the excel file... How do i do that based on this code i have so far:protected void ButtonImport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){PanelUpload.Visible = false;PanelView.Visible = false;PanelImport.Visible = true;LabelImport.Text = "";OleDbCommand objCommand = new OleDbCommand();objCommand = ExcelConnection(); OleDbDataReader reader;reader = objCommand.ExecuteReader(); while (reader.Read()){DateTime? in_1 = null;DateTime? out_1 = null;DateTime? in_2 = null;DateTime? out_2 = null; int emp_id = Convert.ToInt32(reader["emp_id"]);DateTime date_entry = Convert.ToDateTime(reader["date_entry"]);if (Convert.ToDouble(reader["in_1"]) != 0)in_1 = ConvertDoubleToDateTime((double)reader["in_1"]);if (Convert.ToDouble(reader["out_1"]) != 0)out_1 = ConvertDoubleToDateTime((double)reader["out_1"]);if (Convert.ToDouble(reader["in_2"]) != 0)in_2 = ConvertDoubleToDateTime((double)reader["in_2"]);if (Convert.ToDouble(reader["out_2"]) != 0)out_2 = ConvertDoubleToDateTime((double)reader["out_2"]); ImportIntoAttendance(emp_id, date_entry, in_1, out_1, in_2, out_2);} reader.Close();}protected void ImportIntoAttendance(int emp_id, DateTime date_entry, DateTime? in_1, DateTime? out_1, DateTime? in_2, DateTime? out_2){ SqlDataSource AttendanceDataSource = new SqlDataSource();AttendanceDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SalariesConnectionString1"].ToString();AttendanceDataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text;AttendanceDataSource.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO Attendance (emp_id, date_entry, in_1, out_1, in_2, out_2) " +"VALUES ('" + emp_id + "', '" + date_entry + "', '" + in_1 + "', '" + out_1 + "', " +"'" + in_2 + "', '" + out_2 + "')"; int rowsAffected = 0;try{rowsAffected = AttendanceDataSource.Insert();}catch(Exception ex){LabelImport.Text += "<font color=red>" + ex + "</font><br />";} }private DateTime ConvertDoubleToDateTime(double dbTime){string[] SplitTime = dbTime.ToString().Split('.');string hours = SplitTime[0];string minutes = String.Empty;string time = String.Empty; if (dbTime.ToString().IndexOf('.') != -1){if (SplitTime[1].Length >= 1){if (SplitTime[1].Length == 1)minutes = Convert.ToString(Convert.ToDouble(SplitTime[1]) * 10);else if (SplitTime[1].Length > 1)minutes = SplitTime[1];}}elseminutes = "00";time = hours + ":" + minutes;return Convert.ToDateTime(time);}
Hi, I'm inserting a datetime values into sql server 2000 from c#
SQL server table details Table nameate_test columnname datatype No int date_t DateTime
C# coding SqlConnection connectionToDatabase = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=testdb;Integrated Security=SSPI"); connectionToDatabase.Open(); DataTable dt1 = new DataTable(); dt1.Columns.Add("no",typeof(System.Int16)); dt1.Columns.Add("date_t", typeof(System.DateTime)); DataRow dr = dt1.NewRow(); dr["no"] = 1; dr["date_t"] = DateTime.Now; dt1.Rows.Add(dr); for(int i=0;i<dt1.Rows.Count;i++) { string str=dt1.Rows["no"].ToString(); DateTime dt=(DateTime)dt1.Rows["date_t"]; string insertQuery = "insert into date_test values(" + str + ",'" + dt + "')"; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(insertQuery, connectionToDatabase); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); MessageBox.Show("saved"); } When I run the above code, data is inserted into the table The value in the date_t column is 2007-07-09 22:10:11 000.The milliseconds value is always 000 only.I need the millisecond values also in date_t column. Is there any conversion needed for millisecond values?
I€™m getting a datetime format problem(mm-dd-yyyy for dd-MM-yyyy), when I install SQL Server 2005 Express. {The exception is: The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.} My windows Regional and Language options €“ English (United Kingdom), Sort date format is dd-MM-yyyy. When converting the date time in Sql server is using the mm-dd-yyyy format. But I€™m supplying the dd-mm-yyyy format date time.
I tried number of things none of them worked for me
1. Tried changing the default language and get the date time format - exec sp_configure 'default language', 2057 reconfigure - did not work EXEC sp_defaultlanguage 'my user name', 'British' - did not work (Ref: http://www.cactushop.com/support/UKUS-date-format-issues-with-MS-SQL---conversion-errors-or-blank-pages__592__.htm)
2. Tried a registry hack by opening regedit, and get the following 3 language keys and change it to decimal 2057: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetupCurrentVersion] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsSetup [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1Setup] (Ref: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=62891) - did not work
3. Every thing in the Regional and Language options to UK and British with the date time format input language keyboard and every think else I could think of, which could link to US English or US date format --------- Did not work
4. even went into the extend of modifying the date format on a Windows machine for new users account by editing the HKEY_USERS registry key and creating a new user - Did not work (Ref: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/39407/39407.html )
5. Uninstall and reinstall SQL server express several time and did the steps 1 €“ 4 where applicable €“ did not work€¦.
If anyone has any idea of what I have to do to change the date time format in the SQL Server 2005 to use the dd-mm-yyyy format for dates.... Please help me or point me in the direction in which I have to look for an answer. Thank you very much€¦.
I created an RMO script to generate a republishing replication (A to B then B to C). Because I don't want to start the B to C replication until the A to B replication is complete, I start the Snapshot and the Merge processes synchronously (vs. asynchronously). If I ran them asynchronously, I'd need to put in logic to loop-check the completion status of the Merge agent job before kicking off the B to C process.
In the Snapshot agent, this means running .GenerateSnapshot(); (vs. StartSnapshotGenerationAgentJob)
and in Merge agent this means running .SynchronizationAgent.Synchronize(); (vs. SynchronizeWithJob)
I notice that the Snapshot agent never shows a LastRun or LastRun Outcome even though the snapshots are being generated. I haven't tested the other scenario (asynchronous), but I presume they would register the LastRun columns because, as I read it, they use the SQL Agent jobs to accomplish their work.
Does anyone have RMO code that I could add to plug this information into whatever system table (?) somehow?
For some reason, I recall having read that SQL Server 2005 would supporta datatype that represented date, but not time. (This would be usefulfor storing things like birthday, where you usually don't care about thetime of day). But I've got SQL Server 2005 installed, and there's nosuch datatype to be found.Is this something that might be released in a Service Pack, or is itjust not going to happen?
I am having a problem with the DateTime parameter option in SQL 2005 reporting services.
Note that Server, workstation and database are set to British/English (UK) date/time localisation (dd/MM/yyyy) for example 25th December 2005=25/12/2005.
I create a simple query with a parameter on a datetime column and set the report parameter to Data type: DateTime in the report parameters dialog.
On preview or after deployment the following behaviour is observed.
Selecting 1st February 2006 in the datetime picker control populates the date parameter entry field with
01/02/2006 = 1st February 2006 (the correct UK format as expected)
When View Report is clicked the datetime parameter field magically changes to
02/01/2006
So forcing the datetime values to US format MM/dd/yyyy, the report runs OK but does not return data restricted to the required date.
If we select 25th February 2006 the datetime parameter field populates with
25/02/2006 = 25th February 2006 (the correct UK format as expected)
When View Report is clicked the datetime parameter changes to 02/01/2006 and an error is displayed
An error occurred during local report processing.
The value provided for the report parameter X is not valid for its type.
Hi all, having a little problem with saving dates to sql databaseI've got the CreatedOn field in the table set to datetime type, but every time i try and run it i get an error kicked up Error "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."I've tried researching it but not been able to find something similar. Heres the code: DateTime createOn = DateTime.Now;string sSQLStatement = "INSERT INTO Index (Name, Description, Creator,CreatedOn) values ('" + name + "','" + description + "','" + userName + "','" + createOn + "')"; Any help would be much appreciated
Hey :)I'm facing a lot of troubles trying to create a new pause/break-system. Right now i'm building up the query that counts how many records that is inside 2 fields. Let me first show you my table: ID (int) | stamp_start (Type: DateTime) | stamp_end (Type: DateTime) | Username (varchar)0 | 17-03-07 12:00:00 | 17-03-07 12:30:00 | Hovgaard The client will enter a start time and a end time and this query should then count how many records that are inside this periode of time. Example: The client enter starttime: 12:05 and endtime: 12:35.The query shall then return 1 record found. The same thing if the user enters 12:20 and 12:50.My current query looks like this:SELECT COUNT(ID) AS Expr1 FROM table WHERE (start_stamp <= @pausetime_start) AND (end_stamp >= @pausetime_end)But this will only count if I enter the exact same times as the one inside the table.Any ideas how I can figure this out?Thanks for your time so far :)/Jonas Hovgaard - Denmark
Hi, I have a column of type datetime in sqlserver 2000. Whenever I try to insert the date '31/08/2006 23:28:59' I get the error "...datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value" I've looked everywhere and I can't solve the problem. Please note, I first got this error from an asp.net page and in order to ensure that it wasn't some problem with culture settings I decided to run the query straight in Sql Query Anaylser. The results were the same. What else could it be? cheers, Ernest
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. Is there a TSQL way to convert the date and time string to an SQL datetime date type? I want to do the conversion, because SQL displays an error due to the
My date and time string from the application looks like : 3/11/2014 12:57:57 PM
Nothing difficult, I just need a way to generate a new datetime column based on the column [PostedDate], datetime. So basically I want to truncate the time. Thanks a lot.
select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt, 'Deposit' as type, a.* from dbo.status_view a
where right(term,4) always returns a string which constitutes a 4 digit year eg '1999','2004',etc.
The SQL above returns
2004-04-20 00:00:00.000 Deposit ...
Which makes me think that it is able to successfully construct the datetime object inline. But then when I try and do:
select * from ( select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt, 'Deposit' as type, a.* from dbo.status_view a ) where dt >= a.submit_date
I get the following error:
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
Given that it executes the innermost SQL just fine and seems to convert the string to a datetime object, I don't see why subsequently trying to USE that datetime object for something (in this case comparison with submit_date which is a datetime in the table a) should screw it up. Help!!! Thanks...
Hi,I have a text file that contains a date column. The text file will beimported to database in SQL 2000 server.

I'm going slowly insane trying to get a Date AND Time value stored in SQL 2000 from ASP.NET 2.0. The following works fine in Query Analyzer, but fails when run from ASP.NET:INSERT INTO tbl_WIP_DATA_DateTime (ObjectInstanceID, ObjectPropertyID, PropertyData_DateTime) VALUES (32226,7,'20060120 10:43:44') Does anyone have any suggestions?

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 1.2.2001
there is no uniformity of the data that is stored currently.
I have a table that has a unique ID and a datetime of when something changed.
See example: IDÂ Â Â TimeStamp 16094Â Â Â 2013-11-25 11:46:38.357 16095Â Â Â 2013-11-25 11:46:38.430 16096Â Â Â 2013-11-25 11:46:38.713 16097Â Â Â 2013-11-25 11:46:38.717 16098Â Â Â 2013-11-25 11:46:38.780

Is there a way I can calculate the difference between row 16106 and 16105 and enter it in line 10601.
Hello everyone, In my project, I have came across a field in which, I have to insert only time in my sql server 2005 version database through ASP.NET using C#. I dont want the date to be entered/displayed. I also would like to know, how I can be able to get time from the user(which control you would suggest me to use for getting time) and store it in sql server. I have to count the no. of hrs and minutes in my project, so need this help from anyone who can suggest me. Thank you. warm regards, Yakhub.
I have very little C# experience and I am in over my head here. This script will insert all data into the data base after I have removed all refference to the date.
I know I have to change the datatype in code, but I have tried everything I can think of.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
