Hi, My system has SQL Server 7.0. I am retrieving date from an asp page using ADODB, I get the date in 'mm/dd/yy' format when I use smalldatetime as my datatype. I am aware that smalldatetime datatype is supposed to retieve data in 'mm/dd/yyyy' format. Please let me know if you have any inputs on this.
Hi im having trouble with SQL datatypes. i am trying to insert into a cell a date, month and day are retrieved from a drop down box whereas the year is retrieved from a textbox.
Also SQL datatypes only allow either 'datetime' and 'smalldatetime'. I am using SmallDateTime (i dont understand why sql doesn't have just a 'date' type)
Either way when i use the below code it inserts the month and day but when it comes to the year, it will always insert either 2001 or 2002 even if thats not what i put in the text box.
'VARIABLES Dim month As String = DropDownList1.SelectedIndex + 1 Dim day As String = DropDownList2.SelectedItem.Text.ToString() Dim year As String = dobTextBox.Text.ToString()
'PARAMETER cmd.Parameters.Add("@dob", SqlDbType.SmallDateTime).Value = month + "/" + day + "/" + year
I have a simple question to ask; I need to create a column with the data from my DOB column (which has the smalldatetime type attached to it). I know how to do that but I am not too sure how to convert the data from that column int normal character for example when I copy it into my newly created column and change the type to varchar I get this jan 16 1979 from this date 1979/01/16. But I actually want the data to look like this 19790116, so in effect I just want to take out the slashes.
I have a data field that's datatype int and I need to convert it to smalldatetime, however, I get one row erroring out due to a typo in the data that has a date of 21190101. What's wrong with my case statement to set that one typo to 20790101?
'SD' = Case When pro_date > 20790000 Then pro_date = '20790101' Else CAST(CAST(pro_date AS VARCHAR) AS SMALLDATETIME) End,
Please, is there any way to change the date format of a smalldatetime column of a table in SQL Server Express?
What I mean is that the default date format for a column which type is smalldatetime is "MM/dd/yyyy" but I'm developing a localized application and the date format that I would like to use is "dd/MM/yyyy", so I would like to know is if there any way to change this.
I know that I could write some code in my application in order to do the conversion, but I would like to avoid this because I'm using the databinding property of the control and if I have to write a piece of code in order to do the conversion, I will loose this functionality.
I'm currently using WindowsXP SP2, SQL Server Express 2005, SQL Server Management Studio Express and VB.Net 2005 Express Edition. All applications including the OS are USA English version. The application that I'm writing is being localized to PT-BR (Brazilian Portuguese).
I have tried myReader.GetSqlString, GetSqlValue, GetSqlInt16, etc...etc... But I keep getting an error (System.InvalidCastException was caught Message="Conversion from type 'SqlInt32' to type 'String' is not valid."

Here is my code: Public Function SumCurrentAmount() As String Dim sqlconn As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("GDBRemitanceConnectionString1").ConnectionString) Dim sqlcmd As New SqlCommand("SELECT SUM(CONVERT (Int, Field_6)) AS TotalAmount, Record_Type FROM tblTempWorkingStorage_NACHA GROUP BY Record_Type HAVING (Record_Type = '6')", sqlconn) Try sqlcmd.Connection.Open() Dim myReader As SqlDataReader myReader = sqlcmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) If myReader.Read() Then SumCurrentAmount = CType(myReader.GetSqlValue(0), String) Return SumCurrentAmount Else End If myReader.Close() Catch End Try sqlcmd.Connection.Close() End Function
I need to know which "GetSql...(type) should I used to extract field numbre one from myReader.
I want to convert strings from a textfile and convert em to appropriate datatype for the destination columns, eg if i have a source value in string 11111 and the destination column is MONEY. I want to use CONVERT(functionretruningdatatype,'11111') in my insert statement.
I've changed the width of a column from 128 to 64. How to EM shows 64, while sysobjects and sp_help show 128 ?? Even after disconnecting and re-connecting (just to be extra sure).
I'm using this query to sum the values. The cost column is a float datatype and what could I differently do here to sum the cost. I'm unable to sum the cost.
Also is there any way I change the datatype to int for Cost column without losing the data.
select ID, MAX(Date) Date, SUM(Cost) Cost, MAX(Funding) Funding from Application group by ID
I have a data flow task where I have mutiple columns (of different data types) , I want to create a single column using all these columns in XML format and load it into a table with a column of datatype XML. Can I accomplish this using Derived column tranformation?
Hello,How do I change the datatype of a column in a CSV file. Preferably in the select statement (apparently Cast, Convert, & Replace functions don't work when selecting from a CSV). I have a page where users upload their CSV files to and then I use SQLBulkCopy to insert all the records into my sql table. The problem is with columns of money data. EX: "$2,000" >> 2000The CSV file interprets the "$2,000" as a string of text. How do I convert it to a decimal so I can insert it into my sql database?
Hi everyone.... I need a column in my table that its DataType should be as integer arrays how can I implemant it in my sqlserver table. Any help appreciated.
Is there any way or method to CHANGE the DATATYPE of a column in a published table being used for transactional replication (MSSQL 2000), WITHOUT DROPPING THE SUBSCRIPTION ????
Im stuck in this mess and do have the option to drop the subscription, alter the table, create the subscription and rerun the snapshot or to recreate it by Manual Synchronisation either.
Can anyone help? Has anyone been across this dilemma before and have troubleshooted the problem? If yes, help is much appreciated.
MY PROBLEM: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'MyTable' is currently being published and has subscriptions to it. The PRIMARY KEY column 'id' has an Identity property as well. 'id' is of datatype smallint, however because of bad planning, i now need to change that datatype to an integer to support a larger range WITHOUT DROPPING SUBSCRIPTIONS. I CANT DROP THE COLUMN EITHER AS IT IS BEING THE PRIMARY KEY COLUMN.
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY I CAN DO TO ARCHIEVE MY GOAL? THANKYOU.
How do we find the "column name" and "data type" of all the columns in a table. Assuming that I know the Table name or Table Object ID. I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
I am trying to make the following update: All the columns are fine except for the 'name' column. datatype for 'name' column in the target table is varchar(30) and the datatype for 'name' in the sourcetable is varchar(40), I cannot change the datatype of the column 'name' to varchar(40) because I am told it may affect performance. what I want to do is just update the first 'name' column of the target table by the first 30 characters of the source table column 'name'
I am using the following query, is it possible to do it or are there any other ways I can update the column without changing the datatype?
MERGE INTO [S].[dbo].[AF_Copy] AS TargetTable USING (SELECT source_code, name, addr1, city, zip FROM [D].[D_TEST].[dbo].[SO_Copy]) AS SourceTable ON ([TargetTable].[Code] = [SourceTable].[source_code])

Hello. I using a simply SELECT statement to retrieve some data from aSQL SERVER via an ODBC connection. I had to go from VARCHAR to TEXTbecause the amount of data. Anyway, my SQL statements worked just finewhen I was using VARCHAR, but now since I am using TEXT, I am onlyreceiving part of the content back. Do I have to do some sort ofspecial Casting or something if I want to get all the content back?It's over 8,000 characters. Thank you very much. I have racking mybrain on this for a while.
"Failed insert into PONL_WELL. WELL_NO=" + (DT_WSTR,10)PROP_NO
PROP_NO comes from ms sql server , and the derived component datatype for this column is DT_WSTR.
The destination will be ms sql server, and i have a data conversion after the derived component to cast from DT_WSTR to DT_STR.
However, the derived component failed everytime giving me
Error: 0xC0049064 at Load Ponl_Well, Derived Column [1342]: An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast.
Anyone know how i can eliminate the data conversion component and just do my string and column concatenation in the derived column and have it output as DT_STR?
1) it is in the same filegroup as the rest of the table? 2) it is stored in a filegroup separately from the rest of the table (I think this is allowed)?

I have a problem with retreving a excel data through excel source component.
I have source component as Excel Source which will connect to my .xls sheet. To retrieve the values from the sheet i am using a query as, "SELECT F14,F3 FROM [Charac Defn & Assgnment$]"
The column F14 is not formatted so that the format of the cell is "General" I have a different type of values in the F14 column such as "PE","PES",15,20,20.00,8888.9999 etc.. While i click on preview button of Excel source it shows only the text values and not the int or decimal values, its returning NULL for those cells. I tried to use convert function, its throwing an error as
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ There was an error displaying the preview. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Undefined function 'Convert' in expression. (Microsoft JET Database Engine)
Is there any other function to change the format of the cell or i need to some thing else Please help me how to solve this issue.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Express 2005. The database was converted from MS Access 2003 to SQL Express by using the upsize wizard.
I would like to store the current date & time in a column in a table. This column is a smalldatetime column called 'lastlogin'.
The code I'm using is:
Dim sqlcommand As New SqlCommand _
("UPDATE tableXYZ SET Loggedin = 'True', LastLogin = GetDate() WHERE employeeID = '" & intEmployeeID.ToString & "'", conn)
Try
conn.Open()
sqlcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
This code works fine on my local machine and local SQL server. However at the client side this code results in the error as mentioned in the subject of this thread. I first used 'datetime.now' instead of 'getdate()', but that caused the same error. Then I changed the code to 'getdate()', but the error still remains.
The server at the client is running Windows Server 2000 UK . My local machiine is running WIndows XP Dutch.
Maybe the conversion from Dutch to UK has something to do with it. But this should be solved by using the 'Getdate()' function..... ?

I am populating a rad grid with foreign language data. I have set the sql server 2005 Database table column to nvarchar. This works for all the languages except Hindi and Punjabi resulting in the text appearing as letters instead of the correct symbols. Can anyone tell me the correct sql server column datatype for Hindi and Punjabi characters?
