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.
Thanks,
Rashmi.
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
Anyone understand why it is doing this?
If you think you know it all?! You know nothing!

Hi,
I am facing problem while inserting a Null value into a smalldatetime datatype field in sql server 2000 using code in vb 6.0
Error as : Type mismatch.
Kindly let me know how to insert Null or blank (dtDate = "") into a column.
Regards,
Srinivas Alwala
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..... ?
Need to know if the varchar datatype field will ingore leading zeros when compared with numeric datatype ?

Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B

I have a field in a table that stores date of birth. The field's datatype is char(6) and looks like this: 091703 (mmddyy). I want to convert this value to a datetime datatype.
What is the syntax to convert char(6) to datetime?

Hi,
I imported a table from Accees to SQL 7 with data in it.
I need to modify one of the datatype columns to "datetime" from nvarchar.
I tried to convert it manually, in SQL Server Enterprise Manager tool, but it gave me an error.
I also tried, creating another column "DATE2-datatype:datetime" and updating the column with the old one.
UPDATE users SET DATE2 = DATE.. But it also faild,..
How can I modify the column?
Thank you.
HI,I have a table with IDENTITY column with the datatype as INTEGER. Nowthis table record count is almost reaching its limt. that is totalrecord count is almost near to 2^31-1. It will reach the limit with inanother one or two months.In order to avoid the arithmentic overflow error 8115, we would likechange the datatype from INT to BIGINT. we hope this will solve ourproblem.How do I approch this datatype conversion?. Since the data count ishuge, that leads to a long down time of database.we need better approach or solution for this problem?. kindly give mea better solution that will reduce the total downtime of the productiondatabase.?.Regards

I have an Execute SQL Task that pulls the max date from a sql table.
SELECT max(date_Idx) FROM dbo.FactDailyInventorySnapshot
This field is defined as a smalldatetime. I want to store this max date in a variable in SSIS called LastDate.
Then in a data flow, in an OLE DB Source, I want to use it as a parm in a sql command to compare to a smalldatetime field.
My question is, what type of variable do I declare it in in SSIS, and what is the correct parameter mapping inside of my sql query? I thought I had exhausted all combinations of variable types and parameter types. I have even tried casting it as different data types when I do the exec sql task of getting the max date. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I need to convert a datetime field to smalldatetime.
This particular field we only care about the time portion (an example would be '1899-12-30 13:15:00.000')
For now I created another field say 'newTime' that is smalldatetime, in which I want to "update" to the smalldatetime version of the data. I know this will truncate the ms, but I don't care about that. Also the min date that can be used with smalldatetime is Jan 1 1900.
Not sure how to go about doing this.
Hi guys!
I need to convert datetime data type to smalldatetime on production
server with hundreds transactions per minute. In this case do I need to restrict users access to the table or put table in the single user mode?
Or it doesn't have any impact on productivity and I just can open Design table window in SQL Enterprise Manager and edit it?
Thank you in advance,
Igor
I am looking for just the date element of a datetime/smalldatetime col. For example the rows appear in typical datetime/smalldatetime format as:
1999-11-30 07:53:00
I need just "1999-11-30". So how do I strip off the time element? Datepart doesn't seem to be the route to take. I also need to use the date with Datediff so by stripping off the time element, I still need to keep the date element as a date datatype.
Thank you,

In T-SQL, how can I create a smalldatetime containing the
first day of the month relative to a smalldatetime parameter.
Example:
CREATE PROCEDURE @x smalldatetime -- @x = '1999.3.15'
--
DECLARE @y smalldatetime
-- How do I set @y = '1999.3.1' ??
--
Thanks.

Hi, i´m have a problem with the Convert function in sql 7 enterprise
when i have the value '07-31-1967' format mm-dd-yyyy i recivied the error 296
The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value
the sentence i use is
set @dfnacimien = (Convert(varchar(10),@dfnacimien,110))
Someone please help me!!!!
Rather than reinvent the wheel, can someone pass along a date/time function combination? I have a field of smallDateTime being used primarily for the time value - all rows have the same date. e.g., format is 10/22/2005 01:00:00 PM.
What's the easiest function combination to get all rows for day (then night) where day is defined as 6am-10pm (night is midnight-6am and 10pm-midnight). Thought I could use datepart and hh, but it doesn't give me 1 pm as the true miliary time of 13.
Many thanks.
Will someone please tell me how to pull the time out of a smalldatetime field.
The code i am trying to use is as follows:
Select datepart(hh:mm, TimeField1)
from table1;
This gives me an error. I have also tried datepart('hh:mm'... datepart("hh:mm"... and other variations but i cant get anything to work. Thanks in advance for any help!!
Hi,

Hello everyone. I am running into some small problems converting a smalldatetime field. I currently have 2005-10-17 00:00:00
in the field but what it to have forward slashes instead of th dash. I tried a few convert methods but not successful.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?
All help is appreciated.
SQL Server 2000
Used to know how to do this but am having no luck today. I have data coming in from a .txt file that gives me char strings for dates, e.g. 02242003 for Feb. 2, 2003.
Need to whomp this into small datetime with the whole convert/cast thing but I guess I've previously only gone the other way--smalldatetime to char.
Thanks!!!
What would the proper way to write the following query be? Thanks in advance.
Select * from mydb where smalldatetimefield > today's date.
Hello all and thank you for your time.I have a datagrid where I want to view dates (smalldatetime) and beable to sort on the field. However, I do not want to have the timepart show. If I use the convert function(convert(char,ProjDate,101) asProjDate) the field is then a char and does not sort correctly.Any solutions?Thanks again,Sunshine
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that contains transactional data. Such as site view bywhom, when, which template, etc, etc...Everytime when I pulled the report, hh:mm:ss never matters. Onlybreakdown by dates, not time.Having read some chapters of Ralph Kimball's book, I am inspired tobuild "date" table with integer as primary key.Here's what I have for schema of transactional table.- viewed_customer_id int (4bytes)- template_id uniqidentifier (16 bytes)- viewed_on datetime (8 bytes)And here's the version I am thinking of building- viewed_customer_id int (4bytes)- template_id uniqidentifier (16 bytes)- viewed_date_key int (4 bytes)- seconds int (4 bytes)* I put seconds just in case I need to retrieve hour based or minutebased report.Here's my question. I've also noticed that smalldatetime is also 4bytesof memory but it consists of 2 sets of 2 bytes.When I index, would there be significant performance difference betweenindexing 4 byte of column and indexing 2bytes x 2 of column?

What is the result of adding '1' to a smalldatetime type value?
for example, if a smalldatetime value @timebiscuit had the value 8/31/2007 4:00:00 PM, then what would
@timebiscuit + 1
return? What would I add to @timebiscuit to get 9/1/2007 4:00:00 PM? Thanks.

I am trying to insert data into a table that has two smalldatetime columns
I am using the following code
INSERT INTO dbo.Orders
SELECT TAX_ID, Customer_ID, InvoiceNumber, DeliveryCharge, TimeSlot_ID, convert(CHAR(8), DateStamp, 112), convert(CHAR(8), DeliveryDate, 112) , Order_ID
FROM dbo.Pending_Orders
I have tried a few different things but I keep getting the error
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type smalldatetime.
Or must use Convert

Also, Can some please tell me where I can get information about the mask number i.e. 112

Is there a way to convert a smalldatetime value to a year value (1/1/2001 -> 2001) in this case?
I tried year(thisIsSmalldatetimeField) and datepart(yyyy, thisIsSmalldatetimeField)

I just imported an Access database into SQL Server. The database is the 2005-2006 NFL schedule. there are 2 smalldatetime columns, one of which is the date of the games, the other has the times. In order to get the table to import (without just stopping with an error) I had to change the smalldatetime setting on the SQL Server table to Varchar. The error I was recieving was "blahblahblah DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Dataoverflow. ... Invalid character value for cast specification" . Google has explained that this is due to the dates being outside of the acceptable range. An example of a date in the date column is "9/11/2005". An example of a time in the time column is "1:00:00 PM". These seem perfectly acceptable to my untrained eye, and they do indeed work in the Access version of the database.Now for the questions:What do I have to do to these dates to make them acceptable to the smalldatetime setting? Can I just run a query that smushes the two columns together into a valid datetime? I need to have them as valid dates in order to perform checks when people submit their picks (you can't make picks after the game has started). Is there any real reason why SQL Server would not have accepted them as they existed in the Access database? How lenient are the datetime and smalldatetime datatypes?I realize that in the time it took me to type out this post I could have just manually re-entered them all into one new datetime column, but I would like to know why this isn't working. I hope my post isn't too jumbly. Any help is appreciated.
