Hi all
With this query
select convert(varchar(16), getdate(), 101)+' '+LEFT(convert(varchar, getdate(), 108),5)
I get
mmddyyyy hh:mm
How can I change my query to get
mmddyyyy hh:mm but no 0 when month from 1 to 9
example can not be: 02/12/2007 03:34
but should be: 2/12/2007 03:34
Don't know why excel not accept month with 0 from 1 to 9
Thks
Daniel
With this clause "select convert(varchar(16), getdate(), 101)" I can get mmddyyyy but
How can I get time such as mmddyyyyhhmm
Thanks
Daniel
When you converting varchar to date time
SELECT convert(varchar,getdate())
What is the getdate here
i.e. we are converting any value to today's date
Hi
I have a query that a user runs and it includes this part.
CAST(CASE WHEN GetDate() > DateAdd(d, 13, DDOfferLetter.[PrintedOn]) AND GetDate() < DateAdd(d, 21, DDOfferLetter.[PrintedOn])AND A.DecisionID IS NULL AND A.OfferId = 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS BIT) AS RequireASecondOfferLetter
The problem im having is that i get diffeent answers depending on what time of day the query is run. This is because the GetDate() and the DDOfferLetter.[PrintedON] include the time as well as the date. I've tried CONVERT and fiddled around with it for 4 hours now.
Can someone give me some guidance please?
Thanks

I have a table of zip codes, some with Canadian zips. I'd like to takea zip code and search for nearby zips. For example:Dim theZip As Integer = textbox1.text....Parameter.Add(@ziplow, SqlDbType.Int, 5).Value = (theZip - 10)....Parameter.Add(@ziphigh, SqlDbType.Int, 5).Value = (theZip + 10)SELECT * from ZIPCODES where Cast(zip_code as Integer) BETWEEN @lowzipAND @highzipProblem is the letters in the Canadian records cannot be cast asintegers for this process. I get this error:Syntax error converting the varchar value '53151 1' to a column of datatype int.Is there a SQL query that can exclude if no cast can be made to anInteger?Thanks!Anton

declare @date_time_accessed datetime,
@DateAccessed varchar(80),
@TimeAccessed varchar(80)
select convert(varchar(10),getdate()-1,120) as dateaccessed,
convert(varchar(8),getdate()-1,114) as timeaccessed

I would like to convert getdate() value to string of dd-mm-yyyy format in SSIS... how can I achieve this ?
I am trying to run this statement
Select Calims, ProCode From Inquiry Where ProCode Between 80000 and 89999
ProCode is a varchar but I am still checking a range on it.
It seem to work fine but then there is some invalid data entry in this column
for example 'abace' or '100i' so I get the error.
1) how I can exclude them out of my query.
Someone suggested the following but I dont understand how do achieve that. thanks
" However, there would appear to be different data types. If Value is a character
--based type then you may want to limit the search by first extracting numeric values
-- with something like ISNUMERIC(Value) = 1 and then converting them to numerics using
--the convert function - CONVERT(int, Value) BETWEEN 10000 and 20000."

I have a datetime column and I would like to update another column in the same table with the varchar value of date. e.g. date column has 06-08-2008 as a value. I would like to have the same value in the varchar field.
wondering which function can I use to accomplish this task?

Hi
I have a varchar field with values like "Jun 13 1995 12:" I want to change the type of the field to Date and the format of the values to "mm/dd/yyyy".
If I change the type of the field in the design view to Date, SQL gives me an error saying that the type cannot be changed and data would be lost.
So I think changing the dates to the mm/dd/yyyy format first and then changing the field type from varchar to date would work.
Can someone please help me as how to do this.
Thanks

I have a field that contains values such as 8ft , 7ft, 18ft
I have a report in reporting services that shows this:
Before Restock After Restock
Date 1/12/2008 8ft 9ft
1/13/2008 10ft 7ft
1/14/2008 5ft 4ft
I want to create a subquery that grabs the before restock and figures out if it sheds the "ft" part of the value, and then put in a where before restock > (greater than) After Restock.
Is there a an easy way to do this?

I need help converting a varchar field to binary.
I have a Data Control Task that has a OLE DB Source and corresponding OLE DB Destination Data Flow Task. In the referenced source table there exists a field defined as a varchar(12), in the corresponding destination table it is defined as a binary(12). How do I perform this conversion?

Error: 0xC020901C at DFT - Windows, OLE_SRC - Windows [1]: There was an error with output column "Payload" (40) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (12). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
