How To Catch Date Conversion Error
Mar 8, 2004
hi,
I try to write a function which includes a statement:
SELECT @dateReturn = CAST(@dateString As datetime)
to convert a string to datetime.
When it runs, sometime it will generate :
"The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value."
and all related are terminated.
Can I find a way to catch this error and don't let it terminate the whole thing? For
example, when this happens, I want to get datetime as NULL instead of just being
terminated.
Thanks.

I'm trying to pull a list of users with upcoming or recently passed birthdays. I'm using a CAST to create a birthday of the person using their actual birth month and day, but substituting the current day. This CAST works just fine in the actual query, but fails when I put it in the WHERE clause with the error: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string. I don't see how it can work in one area and not in the other.
Code:
SELECT
P.EMF_EMPL_ID,
CAST(Month(P.EMF_BIRTH_DATE8) AS varchar) + '/' + CAST(Day(P.EMF_BIRTH_DATE8) AS varchar) AS Birthday,
DateDiff(d, getdate(), CAST(CAST(Month(P.EMF_BIRTH_DATE8) AS varchar) + '/' + CAST(Day(P.EMF_BIRTH_DATE8) AS varchar) + '/' +
[code]...

I'm using a VB 6.0 front end with a date variable
that throws a SQL 2005 datetime conversion error in the following UPDATE query:
UPDATE MYTable
SET Feild1 = 'VBVar1', Field2='VBVar2'
WHERE MydateField = 'VBdateVar'
I'm guessing that I probably am missing some appropriate method for passing the date datatype variable to SQL
Can anyone help me
Thanks

Hi,I'm trying to concatenate a Description (nchar(100)) and Date(datetime) as Description and my initial effort was just"...description+' '+open_date as description..." which throws a date/string conversion error; finally came up with a working string belowbut don't think it's the optimal way to do this - any suggestions?select (rtrim(description)+''+rtrim(convert(char(2),datepart(mm,open_date)))+'/'+convert(char(2),datepart(dd,open_date))+'/'+convert(char(4),datepart(yyyy,open_date))) as description fromoncd_opportunity where opportunity_id=?open_date is not a required field at the db level, but it is requiredon the form so it should not be null as a rule.

I've imported a CSV file into a table in SQL Server 2012. It's a large file, 140,000+ rows, so I couldn't covert it to Excel first to preserve the date format due to Excel's row limit. In the CSV file, there were 3 column with date data in "31-Aug-09" format, and the import automatically transformed these in "31AUG09" format (varchar(50)) in SQL Server. Now I need to convert these 3 columns from varchar to datetime so I could work with them in date format.
I've tried several things,e.g,
select
convert(datetime,
right(admdate,4)+left(admdate,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))
or
select
convert(datetime,
substring(admdate,6,4)+substring(admdate,1,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))
but keep getting the same error message (Msg 241) "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string".

I need to write a procedure to check if I have any gaps in my dates...
Start Date............End Date
10/6/2004............10/6/2005
10/6/2003............10/6/2004
7/10/2003..........10/6/2003
7/10/2002.............7/10/2003
What I need to do is test the End Date to the next row under the Start Date Column. (in bold to clarify) (moving upward from bottom)
sSQL011$ = "SELECT * FROM TableName " & _
"WHERE ID = '" & ID & "'"
Set rs011 = DB.OpenRecordset(sSQL011$, dbOpenDynaset)
Set Data1.Recordset = rs011
rs011.FindFirst "ID = " & ID
With rs011
do while .eof = False
if .eof then
exit sub
end if
if rs011("StartDate") 'from one record, if it is not equal to the Start
Date in the next record then
MsgBox "Gap in Dates for: " + ID
loop
end with
pseudo...
if the end date in one consecutive row is not the same as the start date in the next row then there is a date gap

Hi,
I'm having trouble with a Script Component in a data flow task. I have code that does a SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() call that throws an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error. Thing is, the SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() call is already inside a Try..Catch block. Essentially I have two questions regarding this error:
a) Why doesn't my Catch block catch the exception?
b) I've made sure that my SqlCommand object and the SqlConnection property that it uses are properly instantiated, and the query is correct. Any ideas on why it is throwing that exception?
Hope someone could help.

Hi,
Basically the above is a very common requirement, please comment on my solution which I've arrived at by searching through the web; -
In summary I have used 3 SSIS components these are "Flat File Source", "Derived Column" and "SQL Server Destination".
1) File Connections Manager Editor
1.1) Within File Connections Manager Editor; -
Name the data type e.g. "INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC"
and assign a type to the data type e.g. string[DT_STR]
1.2) Click on the Preview button to ensure the expected text is assigned to the expected data type.
2) Derived Column Transformation Editor
2.1) Assign Derived Column Name, e.g.
INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE
2.2) Select <add as new column> within Derived Column.
2.3) Enter the conversion Expression, e.g. ; -
2.3.1)
(SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,8,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,1,4))
2.3.2)
Since the above conversion is such a common task I suggest that Service Pack 3 of SQL Server 2005 delivers the following functionality; -
STRINGTODATE ('YYYYMMDD',INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC)
2.4) Select "database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] " as Data Type.
2.5) Within the Mappings tab of the SQL Destination Editor have; -
Input Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE and
Destination Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE.
Please comment on the above, I will then pass on my suggestion to Microsoft.
Thanks in advance,
Kieran.

We have a stored procedure that calculates the floor nr for users at our company campus using their office location. The calculation is done by a function that returns an integer. Unfortunately, not all users enter their information correctly so the function sometimes raises an error. Below is the code of that stored procedure.
UPDATE PERSONS
SET FLOORNR = dbo.FloorNR(OFFICELOCATION)
WHERE OFFICELOCATION IS NOT NULL
IF(@@ERROR <> 0 OR @@ROWCOUNT = 0)
BEGIN
RAISERROR ('Failed to calculate the floor number', 16, 1 ) with nowait
END
However, when the function dbo.FloorNR fails, it doesn't raise our error, but it seems to raise the error that comes from dbo.FloorNR.
How can we catch errors that come from dbo.FloorNr so that we can raise our own error? Our company still uses SQL 2000, so we cannot use the SQL 2005 try/catch option.

Hi everyone, I am using an SQL extended stored procedure to send emails in aDTS package using a cursor that goes through each row in a table.Email sending code below======================exec master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail@FROM = @sFrom,@FROM_NAME = @sFrom,@TO = @sRecepients,@subject = @sSubject,@message = @sBody,@type = N'text/html',@codepage = 0,@server =N'MYMAILSERVER'======================Fetch Next From EmailCursor ...Now the problem I have is that if an individual email address in invalidthen an error occurs and the whole DTS package falls over. What I would liketo be able to do is "catch the error", something like this (C# code used asexample)try{exec master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail@FROM = @sFrom,@FROM_NAME = @sFrom,@TO = @sRecepients,@subject = @sSubject,@message = @sBody,@type = N'text/html',@codepage = 0,@server =N'MYMAILSERVER'} catch {exec master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail@FROM = "arealaddress@mybusiness.com",@FROM_NAME = @sFrom,@TO = @sRecepients,@subject = @sSubject,@message = @sBody,@type = N'text/html',@codepage = 0,@server =N'MYMAILSERVER'}Is this possible??? Normally I would do all the email validation before theemail is entered into the database but unfortunately, I do not have accessto the application code so I am stuck doing it this way.Thanks in advanceMark

Hey,Here's yet another question for you more knowledgeable than me Up to this point I have been using a try/catch statement when dealing with SQL, for exampleint result = 0;try{result = Int32.Parse(command.ExecuteScalar().ToString());}catch{result = 0;}But I read up one some error handling and I have no idea how to solve this anymore. Since I'll be using the catch block to catch exceptions, something like thiscatch (SqlException){throw;}So I was wondering what is the good, standard practice for dealing with this since I need the catch statement to set result to zero or I would end up with an error.Thanks in advance,Sixten

I'm looking for a discussion of the pros and cons of using TRY/CATCH as an error handler in a standard fashion with Stored Procedures. I've been using SQL Server for some time, and am accustomed to an approach of error handling in SPs that returns control from an SP via a common exit routine.
Has anyone defined an approach they would consider sharing? I realize that the reasons for standardizing on an approach includes requirements to your specific situation, so there are likely no perfect answers. I understand the basics of TRY/CATCH in SQL Server. Specifically, I'm looking for an approach where a common "Catch Handler" is used, paying attention to the issues around COMMIT/ROLLBACK.
If there are any threads that discuss this, let me know; I've performed a seach and found nothing so far.
Thanks,
Chuck

hello!
im new to sql... what i'm trying to do is catch the error on insert or update statment of sql.. sound simple but please..
this is the sample table design...
tbl_Customer
CustomerID int(4) Primary AutoIncrement
CustomerCode nvarchar(25)
CustomerName nvarchar(25)
..
..
Deleted bit(1)
what i'm trying to do is when a record is deleted, it's not actually deleted
in the table but only marked 1 (true) the Deleted field.. because i don't want
to lose the relationship...
it's easy to do this on insert statement like this..
Create Procedure InsertCustomer(@param1 ....) AS
IF NOT EXIST (SELECT * FROM tbl_Customer WHERE DELETED = 0) THEN
// do insert statement here
ELSE
// Do nothing
GO
this is also easy if i create a index constraints on the table.. but this will violate my design idea..
so anybody can help me to create the procedure in update statement and insert statement

Greetings all,
When an error occurs it is written to a log file (Assuming you have loggin on).
Anyone know of a way to catch the error in a variable?
When an error occurs I send an email explaining where there error happened and to view the logfile. I would like to include the last error in the email. Saves having to go view the log...
Thanks

Hi all,
Just wondering what would be the normal or more efficient practice to insert/update a record.
1. Check for existence of primary record (using SELECT in stored procedure)
2. Capture error and handling
My problem is that I try to execute an stored procedure from a VB client.. but unable to capture the errors in SP, it just prompts the error and thats it, not responding to my "SELECT @err = @@ERROR" after the insert statement.
so now, I'm thinking of capturing the error on the client (which I am able to do) and handle it from there.. or to make sure that RI is enforced by 'searching' for Pks in the primary tables before executing the INSERT statement in my stored procedure.
Any advise would be appreciated..

hello,
i am trying to figure out how to check for failure or success AFTER the script task has ran.
its a piece of cake to write script logic that runs before the task but how do i check things and decide to retry AFTER a script task has ran?
i want to check for an error after a large table replication and if it detects that there was an error i want to RETRY.
dts does not seem to have this one specific piece of functionality. am i overlooking something?

I am new to T-SQL programming. I need to write a main procedures to execute multiple transactions. How could I structure the program so that each transaction will not abort if failed. Instead, the next transaction will keep running. At the very end the procedure will output the error and report them back to the main program in the output parameters. Looking for pseudo code.

I was just debugging a stored procedure visual studio and I was surprised with what I was watching.
I'm running SQL 2005 and visual studio 2005. I have a set of nested try/catch blocks.
It fails on the first try and drops into the catch block just as it should. Within the catch block a dynamic sql statement is created. A try block begins and attempts to exec(@sql). It then drops to the catch block. However, I copy the statement into SQL Management Studio and it runs without error everytime.
Why is it dropping into the catch block? Logically it should just complete executing the statement continue without going into the catch block.
Do I have to reset the raiserror values between try blocks or something?

Hi All,
I have the same question and error that Chopaka is getting:
"I have a SQL 2005 job that calls a stored proc. The job step returns the message "Query timeout expired....Message 7412...The step succeeded." The proc never actually ever did anything due to the query timeout, and the job continued on to other steps. I'm going to address the timeout issue eventually, but first I'd like to trap the timeout problem and force the job to end.
It appears that the query timeout isn't really an error, just a message. I've tried TRY-CATCH in the SP but the situation isn't caught, again probably due to the interpretation that it isn't an error."
I have reduced the "Remote Query time out" to 1 sec, in order to catch the error and to prevent the job from running, but the error is not caught.
Is there a way to catch this in the SQL or in the job step to prevent the job from continuing?
This is the script that I'm using without any luck
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN Transaction
Create table #tmpSummaryTable
(
)
insert into #tmpSummaryTable
select * from CDRServer01.iXtemp.dbo.gx_tbFTRSummary_test
COMMIT Transaction
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
DECLARE @err int
SELECT @err = @@error
PRINT '@@error: ' + ltrim(str(@err))
SELECT ERROR_NUMBER() ERNumber,
ERROR_MESSAGE() Error_Message
ROLLBACK
Return
END CATCH

Hello, I have stored procedure that when executed it will check to see if a given name is found in the database, if the name is found, I would like to have it continue on to do its work, however if the name is not found, I would like it to raise an error and then stop execution at that point, however, the way it is currently working is, if the name is not found, it catches the error, raises it and then continues on and tries to do its work, which then it bombs out because it can't. I wasn't sure if there was a way to stop the execution of the procedure in the catch statement. I don't think I want to raise the error level to 20-25 because I don't want to drop the connection to the database per say, I just want to halt execution.
Here is a simple example of what I have:
Code Snippet
begin try
if not exists (select * from sys.database_principals where [name] = 'flea')
raiserror('flea not found', 16, 1)
end try
begin catch
declare @ErrorMessage nvarchar(4000);
declare @ErrorSeverity int;
select
@ErrorMessage = error_message(),
@ErrorSeverity = error_severity();
raiserror(@ErrorMessage, @ErrorSeverity, 1);
end catch
go
begin
print 'hello world'
end
At this point, if the user name (flea) is not found, I don't want it ever to get to the point of 'Hello World', I would like the error raised and the procedure to exit at this point. Any advice would be appreciated on how to best handle my situation!
Thanks,
Flea

Hello everyone,
I have a package that should accomplish the following task:
- Loop on all files in a given directory.
- Before proccessing the current file in the Enumerator, it should be moved to a folder called "importing"
- Load the content of the file into a destination DB.
- After a successfull load, the file is moved from the "importing" to the "success" folder.
- If anything went wrong during the load process, the file should be moved from the "importing" to the "error" folder and an e-mail should be sent out to a certain admin account.
What I have done so far:
My control flow looks like this:
Foreach Loop containing the following tasks:
- File System Task: moving the current file from its original path to the "importing" folder
- Data Flow Task1: performing some transformations and insertions into the DB and raw files.
- Data Flow Task2: performing some transformations and insertions into the DB and raw files.
- Data Flow Task3: performing some transformations and final insertions into the DB.
- File System Task: moving the current file from the "importing" to the "success" folder
Question:
I do not know how to catch the event that one of my three Data Flow Tasks has failed and in this case perform two simple tasks, namely...
- File System Task: moving the current file from the "importing" to the "error" folder
- Send Mail Task: sending a configured e-mail message to a ceratin administrator.
Thanks in advance...

Samar

This is driving me nuts..
I'm trying to extract some data from a table in oracle. The oracle table stores date and time seperately in 2 different columns. I need to merge these two columns and import to sql server database.
I'm struggling with this for a quite a while and I'm not able to get it working.
I tried the oracle query something like this,
SELECT
(TO_CHAR(ASOFDATE,'YYYYMMDD')||' '||TO_CHAR(ASOFTIME,'HH24:MM : SS')||':000') AS ASOFDATE
FROM TBLA
this gives me an output of 20070511 23:06:30:000
the space in MM : SS is intentional here, since without that space it appread as smiley
I'm trying to map this to datetime field in sql server 2005. It keeps failing with this error
The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data
I'm struck with error for hours now. Any pointers would be helpful.
