Timestamp Problem

Feb 7, 2002

I have a table in SQL server 6.5 which has two columns. One is a timestamp column and another is an int column. Now I need to change the int column to numeric (16). For this I cannot use the alter table statement as it is not there in sql server 6.5. I tried creating another table with two columns- one as numeric(16) and the other as timestamp. I transferred the data from he old table to the new table and dropped the old table and finally renamed the new table as the name of the old table. But the problem is that the timestamp column now contains data that is different from the data that was there in the original column. I cannot update the timestamp column as that is done automatically neither can I insert the values. How do I make sure that the data in the timestamp column remains the same.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Error While Converting Oracle Timestamp To Sql Server Timestamp (datetime) - Invalid Date Format

Jun 19, 2007

I am populating oracle source in Sql Server Destination. after few rows it fails it displays this error:

[OLE DB Destination [16]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description:
"Invalid date format".

I used this script component using the following code in between the adapters, However after 9,500 rows it failed again giving the same above error:

To convert Oracle timestamp to Sql Server timestamp

If Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST_IsNull = False Then

If IsDate(DateSerial(Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Year, Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Month, Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Day)) Then

dt = Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST

Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUSTD = dt

End If

End If

I don't know if my code is right . Please inform, how i can achieve this.

Get Row Timestamp With No Timestamp Column

Jul 10, 2007

For starters, please feel free to move this if it is in the wrong forum.

The issue I have is this. I have been asked to delete all information from a table that was inserted before May 12 this year. The issue is that when the DB was created, whoever designedd it neglected to add a timestamp column for the user data table (the one I need to purge). Does SQL, by default, happen to store insert times? Would it be something that might hide ina log file somewhere?

Hello,

I just started using SQL and i don't really know too much syntax.

I have an ASP page that is inserting data into a table called YellowAlerts.
The first field in this table is AlertDate. I thought I read somewhere that there is a timestamp feature. If anyone could help me out that would be great.

Thanks.

Sep 23, 2006

hello I put a time stamp in one of my column and it says binary data in the field. How do i make that binary data turn into a real date and time. If this is possible how do I separate the date from the time in the results or would I have to do this myself. Also, I need to sort the results by date can this be done?

Sorry for the stupid questions my sql book (sql demystified) does not elaborate. Thanks

Is there any reason to have a TimeStamp column onto a table that has aPrimaryKey when using SQL Server and an Access front end?I read that doing so will always eliminate that write conflict error.But I notice that when pulling a recordset of 10K records, it takes 3Xless time if I delete the timestamp column on the table before runningthe SP.lq

Timestamp

Nov 29, 2007

Hi there,

When inserting into a table with a timestamp column without explicitly setting the column_list you get the following.

ie.

insert into Table_A

select *

from Table_B

Cannot insert a non-null value into a timestamp column. Use INSERT with a column list or with a default of NULL for the timestamp column.

I was wondering if there's a way to overcome this without specifying the column list?

Thanks.

SQLDataSource And Timestamp

Apr 29, 2008

Hi folks, I am binding a gridview to a SQLDataSource that contains a timestamp column. My SQLDatasource contains an update method (via a stored procedure) that takes all of the data fields from the grid as input parameters. I am getting an error stating 'sql_variant is incompatible with timestamp' . The parameter definition for the update method specifies the timestamp column as type 'Object'. <UpdateParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="timestamp" Type="Object" /> ... </UpdateParameters> When the data is initially retrieved, the timestamp column is converted to a System.Byte[] however I cannot specify System.Byte[] in the parameter definition (different error) I have read other post with this issue but none seemed to have been solved (while still using SQLDataSource and binding).I have tried other datatypes and they do not work as well. Any help would be greatly appreciatedThanksTom

Using Timestamp With ASP.net / SQL Server

Sep 10, 2004

I have a database that I don't want to lock. I decided that before any updates can occur I would check a timestamp value and ensure that nobody else updated before I did (avoiding the 'last update wins' scenario).

I have a problem, I can read the Timestamp from the db when I read the record. I currently use the data to pre-fill a form (gee go figure ;) ) and the user changes some values and updates.

I don't know what to DO with the timestamp value while I am holding it. I have tried putting it into a hidden field on the form but the value does not seem to translate back and forth.

Do I have to store it as in memory as part of the session or can I somehow convert to and from text??

I have about 0 experience working with byte arrays so the best answer is one with an example.

Thanks.

What Is The Speciality Of 'TIMESTAMP'?

Jun 28, 2000

Actually 'TIMESTAMP' is used to monitor the INSERTION AND UPDATION on a table.Based on that 'TIMESTAMP', is it possible to extract any details by appling some QUERY in QUERY ANALYZER?. If anybody gives a solution to this I will be thankful to them.

Timestamp Conversion

Apr 4, 2000

I'm having trouble converting a timestamp value passed into a stored procedure as a char to binary(8). For example, the value passed in is
'00000000000002CA'. I want to convert to a binary(8) value so I can use this in the where clause of a query.

I can't seem to get the conversion to work correctly.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Timestamp Problem

Dec 7, 1999

hi all,
I have a desktop edition of SQL server installed on nt.4.00.sp 5
from what i know..a timestamp field should insert current date & time...right?
So..
if i run these statements:
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[T1] Script Date: 12/7/99 10:45:49 AM ******/
if exists (select * from sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[T1]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[T1]
GO

/****** Object: Table [dbo].[T1] Script Date: 12/7/99 10:45:51 AM ******/
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[T1] (
[column_1] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[column_2] [varchar] (30) NULL ,
[column_3] [int] NULL ,
[column_4] [timestamp] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT INTO T1 (column_2,column_3)VALUES ('new', 123)
INSERT INTO T1 (column_2,column_3)VALUES ('new1', 1234)
INSERT INTO T1 (column_2,column_3)VALUES ('new2', 12345)
go
SELECT cast(column_4 as smalldatetime)
FROM T1
go
