Overflowing DateTime Columns
Nov 30, 2007
We're experiencing the same issue as a few others that have posted on this forum (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=971931&SiteID=1) but I haven't seen any resolutions. The error is: There was an error with input column "MODIFY_DT" (4598) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (4357). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
The package is executed from a SQL Server Agent job. After the failure, we can run the exact same job without changing any data in the source or destination tables and the package will work. Within the Advanced Editor the data type is consitent database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] for all data flow components and the data type is consistent within the source and destination tables as well.
Any ideas????
Many thanks in advance!
Truncating DateTime Columns
May 3, 2008Hi All,
I'm trying to find an efficient and elegant way to truncate datetime columns to a whole date. Currently, when I perform this operation I use something like the following.
TSQL: Select Convert(datetime, Convert(varchar, column_name, 112)) from table_name
PSQL: Select trunc(column_name, 'DDD') from table_name
I've been using this TSQL code ever sense version 7, but I know there has to be a more efficient way other than converting to a varchar and back to a datetime. Over the years, I've tried looking for a more suitable method to perform the conversion in TSQL but this has always been the most practical and efficient method. The PSQL select statement is fast and graceful.
Thanks
Replication And Datetime Columns
Jun 26, 2007I have an interesting server occuring. We have transactional replication running with 1 pub and 6 subscribers. On nearly all the tables we have some sort of date column that's a smalldatetime. If I look at the pub the data will appear like:
2006-11-13 09:59:00
However, on all the subs it appears like:
2006-11-13 09:59:00.000
It's the same column and record but for some reason it's become a datetime. I checked the column types and they are both smalldatetime's.
Why is this happening? What can be done?
Thanks,
Phil
Xsd Files And Null Datetime Columns
Feb 5, 2008Ive created a Data Access Layer (xsd file) and some of the tables have DateTime columns. I need to allow NULL values to be saved, but when I try to do that I get an error
In my code (c#) ive used Nullable DateTime, but when I try to assign a nullable Datetime to a DateTime column, I get this error
cannot implicitly convert type 'System.DateTime?' to 'System.DateTime'
I understand the reasons why, so how do I save null DateTime values to the underlying database through a schema ?
In the schema file, the DateTime columns have <DBNULL> as the default value, AllowBDNull is true, but I am only allowed 'Throw exception' on the NULL value property
I could probably do this another way (by not using a schema and writing the code myself) but Id prefer to keep the strongly typed code.
I dont want to use MAx or MIn values for the default datetime values, so how can this be done ?

Nov 7, 2007Hi,
I need to convert all datetime columns to smalldatetime in the whole database. I really don't want to do it by hand and It would probably take me a whole day to figure out how to write such a procedure. If someone could help me out that would be great.
My database is divided into schemas just like AdventureWorks.
Also, no need to worry about date conversion, value could be set to current date.
Thanks
Unpivot Multiple Columns With Datetime NULLs
Apr 3, 2007Hi there,
I'm trying to unpivot a table in SSIS: The pivoted table basically looks like
ID DATE1 TEXT1 DATE2 TEXT2
----------------------------------
ID1 D1 T1 D2 T2
...
The unpivoted result looks like
ID DATE TEXT
-------------------
ID1 D1 T1
ID1 D2 T2
€¦
It works, but the one problem I am facing is: If D1 IS NULL in the pivoted table then D1 in the unpivoted table contains some strange value that is neither NULL nor a valid datetime. In a data viewer I get the in the DATE field "Fehler: Die Parameter Year, Month and Day beschreiben eine nicht darstellbare Datetime." (i. e. "Error: The parameters Year, Month and Day form an invalid datetime."). The loading of the OLE DB target yields an error because the DATE value cannot be converted to a valid datetime.
Anybody having a solution to this?
Transact SQL :: Sorting By Minimum Of Multiple DATETIME Columns
Apr 22, 2015I have a view in my database detailing the expiry date of each credential for each employee. The view is designed as to display one record per employee and in that record is the expiry date of each credential and the days remaining. So the columns are as follows:-
Employee CodeExpiry Date (x8 columns) (named as credential e.g. [Passport])
Days Remaining (x8 columns) (named as "TS_" + Credential)
I'm trying to use the CASE function to compare each DATETIME column with one another and retrieve the minimum. How can I return the minimum date as a run-time column and sort the view by this column? My code is as follows:-
SELECT [Passport],[TS_Passport],[Visa],[TS_Visa],[Civil_ID],[TS_Civil_ID],[KOC_Pass],[TS_KOC_Pass],[JO_Pass],[TS_JO_Pass],
[Ratqa_Pass],[TS_Ratqa_Pass],[Driving_License],[TS_Driving_License],[Health_Book],[TS_Health_Book], CASE
WHEN Passport <= Visa AND Passport <= Civil_ID AND Passport <= KOC_Pass AND Passport <= JO_Pass AND
[code]....
I've been told that this is the most efficient given the number of records in my database. The Min_Date is always NULL. I need the minimum of the 8 dates to be the Min_Date.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRS2k Issue: PDF Exporting Report With Hidden Columns, Stretches Visible Columns And Misplaces Columns On Spanned Page
Dec 13, 2007Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated

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?

Mar 17, 2007Hey :)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

Comparing A Real Datetime To A 'constructed' Datetime
Jun 15, 2004I have the following SQL:
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...

View 5 Replies View RelatedTransact SQL :: Select And Parse Json Data From 2 Columns Into Multiple Columns In A Table?
Apr 29, 2015I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below)Â and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, Â fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
