Smalldatetime Type Behavior
May 10, 2006Hello,
i've noticed this smalldatetime type behavior:
Passed value seconds are not truncated, but rounded.
Could you be so kind and help me change this behavior to truncation, please?
Thank you.

The Conversion Of Char Data Type To Smalldatetime Data Type Resulted In An Out-of-range Smalldatetime Value
Mar 30, 2007 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..... ?

Convert Text Data Type To Smalldatetime Data Type
Oct 9, 2007I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible?
I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail.
SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime)
FROM panelists
the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'.
I'm rather new to all things SQL, so I only have the vaguest idea of what I'm actually doing.
Thanks for the help!

Conversion Failed When Converting Character String To Smalldatetime Data Type
Oct 3, 2007I am running the following query:
select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead order by hqvend,fprod
The bold sections are giving me the error message. The query works as written above, butis only evaluating on one date, contained in hqeff. However, when I try to modify the second date, HQDIS, by casting it the same way as the one before it:
select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and cast(cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead order by hqvend,fprod
I get the error message. I need to select based on both dates (hqeff AND HQDIS), but cannot seem to be able to it.... Both fields are of type Dedimal, with a length of 8, and dates stored in them look like: 20071003 (YYYYMMDD).
Any suggestions?

Using Smalldatetime
Jul 3, 2007I 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!
Datetime To Smalldatetime
Jul 14, 2006I 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.
From Datetime To Smalldatetime
Mar 30, 2000Hi guys!
I need to convert datetime data type to smalldatetime on production

Or it doesn't have any impact on productivity and I just can open Design table window in SQL Enterprise Manager and edit it?

Datetime / Smalldatetime
Dec 2, 1999I 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,

Select And SmallDateTime
Nov 21, 2005Rather 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.

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!!

Char To Smalldatetime
Mar 1, 2004SQL 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!!!
SmallDateTime SQL DataType
Sep 5, 2006Hi 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!

Jul 23, 2005I 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?

Apr 24, 2007I 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
when I try CAST AS smalldatetime
Also, Can some please tell me where I can get information about the mask number i.e. 112
Thanks
