Hello, I'm new to SQL Server, working for a non-profit computerizing a
lot of its data.
I imported a table of people's names, birth dates, etc. into SS2005
from Access, and the birth_date was imported as an Access date/time
field, giving it the datetime datatype in SQL.
The column values look like:
10/14/1964 12:00:00 AM
Where and how do I learn to specify that all fields like this should be
in ISO format of yyyy-mm-dd??
Do I have to create a new column and put all the dates into it??
Should I just convert the data in queries/views??
Use a constraint to format the data??
I can redo the Access table if necessary, it is only 300-some rows.
I tried BOL but it was not helpful...
The end users will likely enter mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy and it will have
to be stored properly in the database table as column/field
birth_date...
I need creating date of birth using ID number the ouput that im looking is a follows
e.g. RSA ID: 800101 (80 is year, 01 is month and 01 is day) that will be 1980 01 01 e.g. RSA ID: 000101 (00 is year, 01 is month and 01 is day) that will be 2000 01 01
The desired format I need is to take the above and create date of birth with the below format as required by the application used.
I have a table containing a column "date of Birth" in char datatype, I need to calculate Age for the person from his or her date of birth. how would I be able to do that?
I have table with column Date Of Birth its datatype is smalldatetime. Now I was looking for SQL Statement like I will give from date and to date as parameter it should select date of birth occurring between that date and month.
Hello Can someone help please? I'm using SQL Server 7 and trying to update a table containing over 250,000 records. I have a character(8) (CHARDOB) field representing dates of birth in the form YYYYMMDD and would like to update my datetime field (DOB) using a simple update command like:-
UPDATE MyTable SET DOB = RIGHT(CHARDOB, 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(CHARDOB, 5, 2) + '/' + LEFT(CHARDOB, 4)
but get the message:-
Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 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.
The strange thing is that this works on a small dataset but crashes and burns on larger ones. I have tried different CAST and CONVERT options to transform the data into the correct format. I have tried a stored procedure, DTS transformations and execute SQL task in my DTS package without success.
How to check the default value set up for datetime field? The reason I am asking is my database

Here's the problem. I want to insert age in years to a table of children, using a MS SQL trigger to calculate age from Date of Birth (DOB). DOB format is mm/dd/yyyy. The DOB input comes from an ASP Insert statement. I've tried to use DateDiff and a user-defined function to calculate age without any success. Also the trigger needs to account for children of less than 1 year old, could be a 0. Age is integer in the children table. Any help is greatly appreciated. The sooner the better. Even a kick start is better than nothing.

Hi,I need a way of changing the following SQL statement so that the dates are without the hh:mm:ss tt:"Select DISTINCT([StartDate]) From [Events]"How can this be done?Thanks,Curt.
Presently I have a column which represents the amount of money someone spent and for some reason, the fields are being outputted like this 29.8600.
This field is infact suppose to 29.86. Now initially this file was an excel spread sheet and I imported it into sql server 2000 and the datatype is money. What would i use to get the desired field.
I have a huge question haha. I just simply want to make a number display differently before I insert it into the table. for instance in Access, you can simply say FORMAT(c,format) ex: FORMAT(@CHARMINS, 00000) and it should work that way.
How would I accomplish this in SQL server? Right now I have the number 30 displaying as 30.00 in the variable it is set to.... I want it to be shown as 00030.... and any other number that is like 30.00, I want it shown the same way. Like 100.00 would be 00100. Thank you.
Is it possible to format just part of a field? I've got a report that return a collection of users based on some search criteria. Bascially, you enter a string and the report returns all users with a user name or display name simialr to your search string. I wanted to highlight the part of the name that matches the search string.
I have a field where the data is stored with RTF. I know SQL Reporting Services cannot display it properly. Is there way to remove the RTF formatting codes through a function to just pull out the text and displya it in the text box?
I'm currently getting a date in this format 2001-10-08 10:35:45 (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) how would I convert the date to this format 2001-10-08/10:35:45 (yyyy-mm-dd/hh:mm:ss)? The only thing added was the / between the date and time.
I am trying to format a date value as XX/XX/XX when I place a "d" in the format property it formats it as XX/XX/XXXX any ideas on how to change it to XX/XX/XX?
How can I format the current date as yyyy-mm-dd and display it in a text box on the report. The FormatDateTime function only allows certain NamedFormat for the short and long dates but does not satisfy the above requirements. Any ideas?
Helo All - I would greatly appreciate some help formatting the values for my sproc. I need to call a sproc and pass it the values StartTime and EndTime from a web form.

I converted an Access Database to SQL Express. The dates were converted to datetime I'm using VWD 2005 Here is the source of my date and the query. sqlDate = (DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7)) sqlTxt = "SELECT Service_Orders.SStore_Assigned_Number, Store_Info.Store_Other, Service_Orders.PO_Number, Service_Orders.SWorkType, Service_Orders.Service_Order_Number, Service_Orders.SDate_Entered, Service_Orders.SContact, Service_Orders.SClosed FROM Service_Orders INNER JOIN Store_Info ON Service_Orders.Store_ID = Store_Info.Store_ID WHERE (Service_Orders.SDate_Entered >= CONVERT(DATETIME, '" + sqlDate + "', 101)) ORDER BY Service_Orders.SDate_Entered DESC" This retrurns 0 records. sqlDate = 11/28/2005 12:23:27 AM from the function above. The query will return records with : sqlDate = "2005-11-01 21:56:20" I tried changing the CONVERT(DATETIME, '" + sqlDate + "', 1XX from 100 to 120 with no luck I know this must be an easy fix, but it is beyond me. I need to know how to 1. convert my date to the dateformat from "11/28/2005 12:23:27 AM" to "2005-11-01 21:56:20" or 2. find out how to use the CONVERT(DATETIME, '" + sqlDate + "', 1XX properly Thanks for any help in advance!

I have around 1000 records each with two dates in a database in MSDE on my PC. I need to move the data to an on line SQL server and have tried to use Microsoft Web Data Administrator to do this. I can export the data from the MSDE to an SQL file but it will not import because the date format in the SQL file is "dd,mm,yyyy".
If I export from either the MSDE or the SQL server both produce files with date in the format "dd,mm,yy" and yet I cannot import either!?!
It is impractical to change all the dates by hand. I am on a budget and do not have access to anything other than free software.
I have a date string that is an integer 20040119 and I converted it to a varchar and then to date format-CONVERT(datetime, CAST(my_date AS varchar(8))) AS my_date My result is 2003-12-31 00:00:00.000. How can I now format this string so I don't get the time string at the end? Thanks
