I am new to sql database programming. developing an application using C# and sql server 2005. i am having problems with date insertion to database. I use datatimepicker control to get date input. here is my code. in table i use datetime column type.
i want to insert only time in my sql server database.but when m try to insert time in database it takes time+default date. i want to eliminate this default date.
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.
I need an SQL string that inserts the current date into a database. So far I have tried: SQL = "INSERT INTO X (START_DATE) VALUES ('" & Date.Now & "')" mycomm = New SqlCommand(sql, myconn) mycomm.ExecuteNonQuery() However, there is a problem with the SQL command. The problem is related to the date. Is there a way of programatically inserting the current date/time into the SQL database? Language used is VB.
With regards to time zones, daylight savings, and web users, is there a best practice for storing date & time information in a database? For example, my databases are hosted in Time Zone A, but the web users are in Time Zone B. Then, when I create a rss feed (which is displayed in GMT), I add a third time zone into the mix for the same data. To date (no pun intended), I have been entering the date/time data in the time zone of the database server (Time Zone A), and then converting it using an application setting in the web.config file (i.e. TimeZoneBOffset = -1, GMTOffSet = -5). In other words, each time I display a date I calculate what it should be using the time-zone offset in the web.config. This also enables me to account for changes in day light savings, etc. My concerns are three fold: 1. What if I move the database to another server and the time zone changes? 2. Right now the users are in only 1 time zone. If I expand it to several then the offset will have to be by users, which is do-able, but something I haven't had experience with in the past. 3. It is likely more efficient to calculate the time zone once on input into the DB, rather than in each use like I'm doing now. What time zone baseline for insert into the db should I use? Thanks in advance for your help! PS My application is primarily looking at 'smalldatetime' data - down to the 'minute' level.
4 app servers with regional date and time settings of locale A.
1 database server with locale settings B.
What is happening is that timestamps are being generated on the app servers, these are then in a sql command which fails on the database server since the timestamp format is invalid.
It was suggested that we change the regional locale settings of the database server, but will this not have serious implications , for example every current timestamp format in the datbase will become invalid?
In a nutshell is it safe to change a database servers regional date time locale settings ? Or are there serious implications?
How to insert date to the sql server database.I am getting input from the HTML form and store it to database usingASP.how to store date field, what datatype needed and what conversionneeded.Thanx & Regards,SSG
I'm looking for a way of taking a query which returns a set of date time fields (probable maximum of 20 rows) and looping through each value to see if it exists in a separate table.
E.g.
Query 1
Select ID, Person, ProposedEvent, DayField, TimeField from MyOptions where person = 'me'
Table
Select Person, ExistingEvent, DayField, TimeField from MyTimetable where person ='me'
Loop through Query 1 and if it finds ANY matching Dayfield AND Timefield in Query/Table 2, return the ProposedEvent (just as a message, the loop could stop there), if no match a message saying all is fine can proceed to process form blah blah.
I'm essentially wanting somebody to select a bunch of events in a form, query 1 then finds all the days and times those events happen and check that none of them exist in the MyTimetable table.

Hello, I have a textbox on my formview which brings in a time from an sqldatasource. The time is displayed as 09:00:00 in the sql select statement i have a convert function - CONVERT (varchar, Time, 8) I am trying to alter the text e.g change to 09:30:00 and send it back to the database however i am having a lot of problems with that. Anyone know what i have to do to sort this. I think it might be something to do with the sql insert or the insert parameters as i dont know how to change the time String back to DateTime. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance Mike.
I need a little help. I want to load data to sdf database, with Visual Studio 2008. The database is on my PC. I want to copy to PPC, when it has the data. I thought it is easy... First I created a windows form application, and the database. I tried with TableAdapter.Insert(..), no exception, or error, but the database was still empty. DataSet.table.Rows.Add(newtableRow)+tableAdapter.Update works the same. My second attempt was to create a dataGridview. It can show data from the database, but can't insert. No error, but when I restart the application, the new row disappear. (Of course insert function is enabled.)
I was not able to realize the problem. The db is not read-only, and the conncection string works fine, and dataTableAdapter's insert method is also good.
Hi, I m using ASP.NET with C#. I m having one field which should store the datetime of the system. The datetime should be automatically stored for that entry when the user submits that record on the click event.Then it should display the date time on the gridview from database.I m using sqlserver 2005 and i have created the stored procedure for the insert command.This is the sample sp what should be written here to insert system date time automatically when the user submits the asp.net form ?Is there any code for writing directly in stored procedure or asp.net coding page... ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[StoredProcedure1]@salesid INT OUTPUT,@salesdate datetime,@customername varchar(20)ASBEGINSET NOCOUNT ONBEGIN INSERT INTO sales (customername) VALUES (@customername) SELECT @companyid = SCOPE_IDENTITY()END SET NOCOUNT OFFEND Thanxs in advance...

I have two fields DSRHADTI which is an isodate and DSRHTIME which is 8 char time field in format 10.31.00. I want to take both these fields and put them into a field that is database timestamp so I have converted DSRHDATI to 10 character field. I am then trying to use substring to put both into 18 character field using derived column transformation editor. but it does not like the below. It's red syntax error what am I missing.
(SUBSTRING(Copy of DSRHDATI,1,4) +' /' + SUBSTRING( Copy of DSRHDATI,6,2) + '/ ' + SUBSTRING(Copy of DSRHDATI,9,2)) + SUBSTRING(DSRHTIME,1,2) + '.' + SUBSTRING(DSRHTIME,4,2) + '.' + SUBSTRING(DSRHTIME,7,2)
One I get the above to work I plan on convert 18 char to datetimestamp.

I have an SSIS package that moves data from SQL Server to an legacy Access database. In SQL Server, there is a date/time column that I need to split into a separate date column and time column in the access database. Initially I just created a derrived column for the time and set the expression equal to the source date/time column from SQL Server. Unfortunately, that just makes the date column and time column the same having the full date/time.
What expression can I use during a derrived column transformation to assign just the date to a derrived column and just the time to another derrived column?

Hi folks, I posted the following question on comp.databases.ms-sqlserver, bu, to my surprise got no responses. So I wondered if you good people might be able to help us out... ================================================== Our application communicates with SQLServer 7 through ODBC. In order to write date/time fields into the database, it uses either the dt conversion function, or more usually the ts conversion, on a string of the format 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.xxxxxx'. With almost every every other database engine (I think Informix is the only exception), this is accepted and converted into a date format that the back end can store.
With SQLServer 7, any inserts containing dates are dropped because the timestamp conversion isn't working. If I take a copy of the select statement into the query analyser, it reports an error unless I change the timestamp string format from ts 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.xxxxxx' to ts 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.xxx', ie from microsecond to millisecond resolution.
Version 6.5 didn't have this problem, and as I mentioned, nor does any other database engine that our application talks to. ================================================== ===
