hi Experts,
what is the purpose writing a date in the following format:
where x.event_date >= {ts '1980-01-01 00:00:00'}
versus like this:
where x.event_date >= '1980-01-01 00:00:00'
what benifit does it add to later form of writing?
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to write a stored procedure which would execute following logic:
- The stored procedure takes 2 optional parameters @StartDate and @EndDate
@StartDate Datetime = null
@EndDate Datetime = null
- Since the parameters are optional user can enter either one or can leave both blank.
- If user doesnot enter any values for SD (start date) and ED (end date), stored procedure should run select query replacing those values with wildcard character '%' or NULL
- If user enters SD, query should use @StartDate as the SD and GetDate() as the ED
- If user enters ED, query should use @EndDate as the ED and MIN() of the Date field as SD
I was able to write query which did almost everything as is stated above expect for incorporating NULLs
The query is as below
CREATE PROCEDURE SearchDocumentTable
@FName varchar(100) = null,
@LName varchar(25) = null,
@ID varchar(9) = null,
@StartDate Datetime = null,
@EndDate Datetime = null
AS
IF ( @StartDate IS NULL)
Select @StartDate = MIN(DateInputted) from Document
Select
FName as 'First Name',
LName as 'Last Name',
ID as 'Student ID',
Orphan as 'Orphan',
DocumentType as 'Document Type',
DocDesc as 'Description of the Document',
DateInputted as 'Date Entered',
InputtedBy as 'Entered by'
From Document,DocumentTypeCodes
Where FName LIKE ISNULL(@FName,'%')
AND LName LIKE ISNULL(@LName,'%' + NULL)
AND ID LIKE ISNULL(@ID,'%' + NULL)
AND (DateInputted BETWEEN @StartDate AND ISNULL(@EndDate,GETDATE()) OR DateInputted IS NULL)
AND Document.DocTypeCode = DocumentTypeCodes.DocTypeCode
GO
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance :)
Hi,
I am trying to write to a fixed format flat file using Flat File Destination Data Flow Component. I have all required information gathered from more than one sources. But when I tried to format the columns to a big string that will make up one line in the flat file, I could not figure out how to do that. Couple of issues that I am facing are:
How to padd different columns? For example, One interger column has could be 1 to 10 character long in my case. When I convert to string, dont know how to padd the remaining characters i.e. if the value of integer is '1234', it should be written to file as '1234 ' . Which transformation is best in this case, if available?
How to convert T-SQL datetime to a specific date and time format to write in the flate file? I have to write these date formats depending upon one of the parameters passed.
Also, I dont want to put a delimiter at the end of each column, just the new line characters at the end of each record.
Some of the columns has some unwanted characters (like new line characters) how to find them and remove them from the string.
Can we directly write columns to a specific position in the flat file? e.g. col 1 a position 1 and col2 starts at postion 20 etc.
Your co-operation will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paraclete
We are using an ADO.NET provider in SSIS to read data from a SQL Server 2000 table that contains DateTime columns to write to a Flat File Destination. When the date values are written to the file they are formatted in TimeStamp to the 10th decimal position; e.g.€œ2006-04-24 12:00:00.123000000€?. Since SQL Server supports values to Timestamp(3), we need to truncate the last seven zeros to put the data in this format €œ2006-04-24 12:00:00.123€? to keep the file as small as possible.
Since we have several hundred DateTime columns in scope for our requirements we are looking for the least logic/effort to accomplish this task. We can do this via Data Conversion and Derived Column transformations to cast the dates and strings but it is very labor intensive. It would be something like singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall eight times in a row with each verse taking 3 minutes each. Yikes.
We have tried casting the DateTime columns to varchar in the SELECT statement but receive this format €œApr 24 2006 12:22PM€?.
Is there a configuration we've missed that forces timestamp(10) with non significant digits?
I don't know why my company did this, but dates are being stored in a char field within our database. Meanwhile, I've been setting up new pages using datetime.
That's just a little back story. My question is, is it possible to change the format of all dates in the table from yyyy/MM/dd to MM/dd/yyyy in the char field? I'm just trying to think of an easier way to change a thousand or so records instead of doing it manually.
Thanks.
How can I get the number of months (or years or days...)
between the current_timestamp
an a date in the DB2 format ?
DateDB2 Char(26) = 2000-12-30-12.55.30.123456
DateSQL = GetDate() or Current_Timestamp
I recently wrote a stored procedure to add the date and time to an existing table. The date is being stored as
Oct 29 2007 5:37PM
Instead of as
10/29/2007 5:37:23 PM
The column is a varchar(24) data type and I use GETDATE() in the stored procedure to supply the date.
What do I need to do to change to get this to save the date as mm/dd/yyyy

Hi,
I'm totally new at SQL Server, I'm sorry if this question looks very simple, but I just don't know how to change the datetime value in a field on my database.
I'm working in vb.net and I have a datetime field in sql server, I can store date values passing this value:
DatePick.Value.ToString("s")
dates are saved fine, but if want to make this query:
Select * from backlog where date1>=isdate('21/02/2006') order by date1 asc
I get all the values from that field, no filter is done. Date are shown like this 2004-05-23 14:25:10.000 in the query.
What do I have to do ? do I have to change the date format of my field to ISO 8601 ? how ? do I use a script or what ???????
Please remeber that my sql script should be done from vb.
I really appreciate your help.

if
(datalength
(cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD])
) = 1)
then
(0 ||
cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD]))
else
(cast_varchar
([Costpoint].[Profit_Calc_Consolidation].[PD]))
Goal:
To be able to tell the Period number ([PD]) to change from an integer to a var_char so that it can be concatenated with the Fiscal Year. I.e. Fiscal Year || Period number to produce the following results.
2006 01
2006 02
2006 03
Etc……
Status of Problem:
The issue is that I can only get it done to the point to where the Fiscal Year || Period number yields the following results:
20061
200610
200611
200612
20062
Etc….
This is as issue since I am trying to get all the information from the past to a certain year and period. Using a filter that says
Fiscal Year + Period Number <= ?Prompt_Fiscal_Year? + ?Prompt_Period_Number?
So if I enter Year: 2007 Period 3
I should get:
2006 01
2006 02
2006 03
Etc…….
2006 11
2006 12
2007 01
2007 02
2007 03
Can you please let me know if my thinking is off or if my SQL is wrong, Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
ok so this is my table structure
[odcCode] [int] NOT NULL ,
[insCode] [varchar] (11) COLLATE Modern_Spanish_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[odcQty] [int] NOT NULL ,
[odcCostoUnitario] [numeric](18, 4) NOT NULL ,
[odcISV] [bit] NULL ,
[odcStatusInsumo] [varchar] (3) COLLATE Modern_Spanish_CI_AS NULL ,
[odcInsArrivalDate] [datetime]
INSERT INTO OrdenCompraDetalle
(odcCode, insCode, odcQty, odcCostoUnitario, odcISV, odcStatusInsumo, odcInsArrivalDate)
VALUES
(697,'MIN-000028',1,22.3250,0,'PEN', '18/10/2007 12:00:00 a.m.')
and when I run, the insert command I get the next error:
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
The date is taken from a standar DateTime Picker control from Visual Studio 2003 and I can't change the regional settings on the computers (that's not an option)
What can I do to fix the problem and be able to insert the date in any format?
I have a need to display the difference between two dates, a start date and a end date in the format HH:mm where the hours could be greater than 60.
For example:
Start Date - 30/01/2007 09:00:01
End Date - 01/02/2007 20:40:04
When i use the following code (=Fields!dateend.Value - Fields!DateStart.Value) i get 2.11:40:03 which i can easily understand, but the customer wants it as above!
I would like to be able to get it to be 59:40:03.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi,
I'm currently having problems exporting formatted dates from reporting services 2005 to excel.
Basically what I require is a way to format a date in reporting services so that it only shows the date without the time (preferably british format) and when it is exported to excel it is still formatted as a date.
This is so the user can sort the data file via date, I appreciate it is easy to select the column and format the cells but i would prefer to have a 'cleaner' solution to this problem which avoids the need for users to be formatting exported reports.
Originally I was formatting the dates as convert(varchar,@date,103) in the SP which converts it to a character string and excel picks this up as a character as would be expected. So I changed this to a date and set about trying to format the date in Reporting Services, so far i've been unsuccesfull using cdate (brings back the time) and format as it again converts it to a character string.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated,

Hi,
I am having the "classical problem" of the forums; A local date changed to the american format (normally in the development environment) which I call "Switching months with days"... well it switches both again if you press "view report" again :)The problem I'm having is that when I Navigate from one report to other, the dates get switched... Everything's been set in the locale uk date format (dd/mm/aaaa), in the operating system, in the database and in the reports... and the reports are working properly through the web interface.. the only thing that is not working properly is the Navigation which switches the date month with the day...Changing all the Reporting Services server, database server to the american format date is not an acceptable solution. Thanks for any guidance on this, as I'm pretty lost...Jose
I am looking to calculate no of months between two dates which are in YYYYMM format.
Like no of months between 201505 and 201305
I am importing a couple SAS datasets to SQL Server 2008 for a project. The dates are in a float format, they show up as DT_R8 in SSIS. How can I convert these values to SQL server datetime? I have tried dozens of methods I found on-line with no success, I keep getting 'Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.' errors.

Can you really use the SQL replication to mirror data to another server for the purposr of DR ? What is the best method ? I would want to be able to switch to DR very quickly, allowing users to continue work. Or is there something I should know ? I would be very grateful for any help. :D

Greetings,What is the point of Microsoft defining a ROWGUIDCOL property that canbe attached to a 'uniqueidentifier' column? This is defined as a columnthat is 'globally unique', but doesn't the uniqueidentifier datatypealready guarantee that? To make matters more confusing, they tell youin Books Online to add a Unique constraint because ROWGUIDCOL does notguarantee uniqueness...so what's the point?Apparently the only functionality attached to this property is that onlyone such column can exist per table and that it can be queried using the$ROWGUIDCOL keyword in SQL.Can anyone tell me the rationale for when to use this and when not to,or what the purpose of this property is?Thanks,Sam BendayanDB ArchitectUltimate SoftwareJoin Bytes!*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
