I was just told that it is better to convert all datetime values to integers for performance reasons. Is this generally true? I am working with time series data so datetime values hold important information.
View 10 RepliesWorking on a new database where the Date and Time are stored in a Date Time Field.
Then working on an OLDER database file within the same SQL Database contains these 2 items as integers:
transDate = "71615" (July 16, 2015)
transTime = "12345" (01:23:45 AM)
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.
Trying to write the most effective UDF to convert INT to Datetime.
We have a column from a table on AS400 that is a INT type. Some are 4, 5, 6 ,7 digits. I have the 4 digits right. I need to fix it for 5 and 6 digits.
ALTER FUNCTION IntegerToDatetime (@int INT)
RETURNS DATETIME
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @IntegerToDatetime int
DECLARE @time DATETIME
SET @time = '2001-01-01'
SET @IntegerToDatetime =
CASE
WHEN LEN(@int) = 7
THEN '20' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(7)),2,2) AS int)
+ '-' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(7)),4,2) AS int)
+ '-' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(7)),6,2) AS int)
WHEN LEN(@int) = 6
THEN '19' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(6)),1,2) AS int)
+ '-' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(6)),3,2) AS int)
+ '-' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(6)),5,2) AS int)
WHEN LEN(@int) = 5
THEN '200' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(5)),1,1) AS int)
+ '-' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(5)),2,2) AS int)
+ '-' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(5)),4,2) AS int)
WHEN LEN(@int) = 4 THEN cast(@time AS INT)
END
RETURN (@IntegerToDatetime )
END

Hi
I use this to get all users from active directory.
SELECT *
FROM openquery(
adsi
,'SELECT name, AccountExpires FROM
''LDAP://company/OU=users,dc=company,dc=com''')
WHERE AccountExpires IS NOT NULL AND AccountExpires not in('0','0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF','9223372036854775807','')
AccountExpires returns values like 128514708000000000 (This value represents the number of 100 nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601 )
How do I convert this value to Datetime?
select getdate() returns a value like 2008-04-18 10:00:00.00 and that's how I'd like my AccountExpires

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello Everyone,
I need help with conversion type. I'm using Visual Basic 6.0 as my frontend and SQL Server 2000 as my backend. There has been existing data in the database. I would like to know how to convert an integer to datetime format. For example:
This is the actual value from the database.
1087912290
1087912327
I'd like to know how to convert it datetime format.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi all,I have a problem converting datetime to integer (and than back todatetime).Depending whether the time is AM or PM, same date is converted to twodifferent integer representations, which holds as true on reversalback to datetime.AM Example:declare @DI integer; declare @DD datetimeset @DI = cast(cast('3/12/2003 11:34:02 AM' as datetime) as integer)set @DD = cast (@DI as datetime)print @DI; print @DDResult:37690Mar 12 2003 12:00AMPM Example:declare @DI integer; declare @DD datetimeset @DI = cast(cast('3/12/2003 11:34:02 PM' as datetime) as integer)set @DD = cast (@DI as datetime)print @DI; print @DDResult:37691Mar 13 2003 12:00AMNow, this is not a big problem if I knew that this is how it issupposed to work. Is this how SQL Server is supposed to work?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have this datetime:Â '2002-12-20 11:59:59'
I want to convert this to date (yyyy-mm-dd) to integer
This works fine for:Â SELECT CONVERT(INT, GETDATE())

Edit: There seems to be some interaction between GROUP BY/NEWID() that can cause problems if these functions are used directly in an aggregate query. Please read the posts on this thread about this, and use caution.
This script creates three functions, F_RANDOM_INTEGER, F_RANDOM_SAMPLE, and F_RANDOM_DATETIME. The last parameter of each function must be function NEWID() to generate the random number.
Theses functions are designed for applications where it is necessary to generate random integers, random datetimes, or take random samples from sets of data. Typical applications would be software testing, inventory control, auditing, and product quality testing.
Function F_RANDOM_INTEGER returns a random integer in the range of the input parameters so that the return value is >= @START_INT and <= @END_INT. It is valid for any range of two integer values.
Function F_RANDOM_SAMPLE returns a 1 or a 0 to determine if a sample should be selected, based on the input sample rate. Input parameter @SAMPLE_RATE should be between 1 and 999,999. The sample rate determines how many samples should be selected out of each 1,000,000 samples. A sample rate below 1 will never select a sample, and a sample rate above 999,999 will always select a sample. A sample rate of 1,000 = 0.1%, 50,000 = 5%, 63,775 = 6.3775%, 100,000 = 10%, and 500,000 = 50%.
F_RANDOM_DATETIME returns a random datetime value >= @START_TIME and < @END_TIME. It is valid for any datetime range. Input parameters default, if null, to @START_TIME = '19000101' and @END_TIME = '19000102’. The datetime is random to the level of clock ticks (1/300 of as second). Note that the latest time is not included in the range of datatime values that can be returned. This is to allow selection of times within adjacent time periods, without having to specify times to the level of milliseconds. This means a range of 1990-12-01 01:00:00.000 through 1990-12-01 02:00:00.000 will never return a value of 1990-12-01 02:00:00.000.
The NEWID() function is the basis of the random numbers. These functions should not to be considered random for purposes of data encryption or other high security applications. However, they should be adequate for business applications of the types mentioned above. I conducted extensive testing with the functions where I generated millions of results, analyzed the results various ways to look for non-random patterns, and I saw no evidence of non-random results.
The script also includes a demo of each function, and sample output from the demos is also included.
The demo script uses the number table function, F_TABLE_NUMBER_RANGE, available on this link:

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");

DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
dt1.Columns.Add("no",typeof(System.Int16));

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?

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
View 4 Replies View RelatedHey :)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,

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.

1st March 2005 12:00:00
is showing as
01/03/2005 00:00:00
instead of
01/03/2005
Why does this happen?
I 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...

I am trying to access a date column up to millisecond precession. So I cast date to as follows:
Code BlockCONVERT(varchar(23),CREATE_DATE,121)
I get millisecond part as a result of query but it€™s €œ000€?.
When I try to test the format by using getDate instead of DateTime column I get right milliseconds.
CONVERT(varchar(23),GetDate(),121) --Gives right milliseconds in return
Hi All,
If I run "SELECT 610/100", query analyser returns 6! (wrong)
If I run "SELECT 610.0/100", query analyser returns 6.100000! (correct)
I know I can get the correct result by running "SELECT Cast(610.0 as Float)/100", but why doesn't the first example return 6.1?
Is there some setting on my server which says Integer / Integer = Integer ?

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.
thnkx in adv.

Is there a way I can calculate the difference between row 16106 and 16105 and enter it in line 10601.
My question is, i guess, a simple one:
When is it more convenient to use a uniqueid Data Type instead of a smallint, tinyint, bigint, etc (any type of int) when the field is gonna be the primary key for the table?
hi all,
i have an autonumber field (primary key) and another integer field as part of a table. What i want to do is when a record is created, the default value of the integer field should be the_autonumber+1000 for eg record with pk 82 will have an integer field that's automatically 1082. Would it be possible to do this ? Thanks in advance.
