Hi All:
We have a database date column in this format: 1/27/2008 1:20:00 AM and need a date or time function to cast local JVM time into the above format.
Suggest me the best options.
1. To go for a more comfortable date format in the database itself or
2. To have an appropriate conversion in my code.( I am not feeling good about the suffix AM/PM in the date column!)
Anyone please suggest me that , I have a text box where I am entering th date in dd/MM/yyyy format. But the default field in my SqlServer2005 is MM/dd/yyyy. How can i insert it into the database. or how can i change the MM/dd/yyyy of database to dd/MM/yyyy
Please, its urgent. Thanks in advance Regards Tapan
We are having problems with a new PC, we have installed oracle 10g client, Toad, and SQLServer2005 BITools PC regional settings set to en-NZ( we need date format to be dd/mm/yyyy) BITools/tools/options/international settings language = Same as Microsoft Windows
Ran a simple query(against oracle db) using between with 2 date parameters one parameter is datatype string the other datetime. When previewing report string is entered 01/03/2008 and datetime param is entered by choosing from datepicker, when view report button is clicked the datetime param is transposed whereas the string param remains unchanged.
The problem seems to be the datepicker not picking up on regional date format.
This is a new PC with xp-sp3 and the above software installed.
Ok i'm trying to figure out how to properlyuse the to_date function. Ive read about it in my book and tried looking up some examples of it online... but im still confused on how to use it in my situation.
SELECT TITLE,INITCAP(PUBDATE(TO_DATE(PUBDATE,'Month DD, YYYY'))) FROM BOOKS;
That was my last attempt. Im just trying to get the title and the date for all of the books in the books table. the first letter of the book is supposed tobe capitalized, so i used initcap but then im supposed to put them month in Month DD, YYYY format. I looked it up, seems To_date is my answer but all of the examples seem to confused me. They are all being used along with where functions and I think its confusing me. Can anyone help explain how to use it in this situation?
I€™m getting a datetime format problem(mm-dd-yyyy for dd-MM-yyyy), when I install SQL Server 2005 Express. {The exception is: The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.} My windows Regional and Language options €“ English (United Kingdom), Sort date format is dd-MM-yyyy. When converting the date time in Sql server is using the mm-dd-yyyy format. But I€™m supplying the dd-mm-yyyy format date time.
I tried number of things none of them worked for me
1. Tried changing the default language and get the date time format - exec sp_configure 'default language', 2057 reconfigure - did not work EXEC sp_defaultlanguage 'my user name', 'British' - did not work (Ref: http://www.cactushop.com/support/UKUS-date-format-issues-with-MS-SQL---conversion-errors-or-blank-pages__592__.htm)
2. Tried a registry hack by opening regedit, and get the following 3 language keys and change it to decimal 2057: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetupCurrentVersion] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsSetup [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1Setup] (Ref: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=62891) - did not work
3. Every thing in the Regional and Language options to UK and British with the date time format input language keyboard and every think else I could think of, which could link to US English or US date format --------- Did not work
4. even went into the extend of modifying the date format on a Windows machine for new users account by editing the HKEY_USERS registry key and creating a new user - Did not work (Ref: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/39407/39407.html )
5. Uninstall and reinstall SQL server express several time and did the steps 1 €“ 4 where applicable €“ did not work€¦.
If anyone has any idea of what I have to do to change the date time format in the SQL Server 2005 to use the dd-mm-yyyy format for dates.... Please help me or point me in the direction in which I have to look for an answer. Thank you very much€¦.
Hi to ALL Here I am using .net 2.0 and MS SQL 2K. In our database table DateTime saved as in the format of 2007-01-31 8:33:19.000(yyyy-mm-dd) to access to this records by searching based on Date, when we are searching based on Date that Date format would be (dd/mm/yyyy). How we can convert the date format.
Data Base Date Format: 2007-01-31 (yyyy-mm-dd) Search Criteria Date Format: 31/01/2007 (dd/mm/yyyy)
I have written following Code: Pls suggest me whether its correct r not ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Select distinct tbl_adminuser.adminUserName,tbl_adminCategory.Name, COUNT(dbo.tbl_outbox.msgUserID) As
TotalCount
FROM dbo.tbl_adminuser,dbo.tbl_AdminCategory, dbo.tbl_outbox
where tbl_adminuser.adminUserID = dbo.tbl_AdminCategory.CatID and tbl_AdminCategory.CatID =
dbo.tbl_outbox.msgUserID
and tbl_outbox.msgUserID <> 0 and Convert(varchar,tbl_outbox.msgDate,103)>=@fromdate and convert(varchar,tbl_outbox.msgDate,103)<=@todate group by tbl_adminuser.adminUserName, dbo.tbl_AdminCategory.Name --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am very new to SQL and was handed some Oracle code to put into a SQL Server 2005 db. A few errors come up, but the one I'm having the hardest time converting is:
INSERT INTO Reservations VALUES (102, TO_DATE('10/14/03', 'MM/DD/YY'), 22, TO_DATE('10/10/03', 'MM/DD/YY'));
and the error message that accompanies it upon parsing is:
Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Line 86 'TO_DATE' is not a recognized built-in function name.
Any help converting this to SQL Server's liking would be greatly appreciated.
Is it possible to split the following value in sql server ?
I have the value like 25 Email Accounts,50 Email Accounts in my sqlserver database. Here i need only the numeric value .ie 25,50.Is it possible? can any one give me the solution ..
I am using ASP.Net and C# backend is SQL Server 2000.
I'm using the function bcp to transfer data from my table to a data file. When I use it at the dos command prompt, no problem everything works really well.
But if I use query analyser I have an error: unable to open bcp host data-file.
Here's the line: xp_cmdshell 'bcp table.owner.inventaire out c:1est.txt'
The problem is not with xp_cmdshell because I can call simpler executables in query analyser.
how do i write a replace function that will replace a certain character with a return key (ie what happens when we do Ctrl+return key in SQL Enterprise table... so that the rest of the cell data in the column is on the next line?!
SELECT REPLACE(tasks, '/', '????') AS EXPR1 FROM log_descriptions
I have a table that has a DATE field named. AccountingDate that is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. It's not a VARCHAR field. I simply want to convert this date field into the format MM/DD/YYYY and call it New_Accounting_Date.
I've played with various combinations of CAST & CONVERT but haven't been able to get it to work.
Below is my latest effort which returns the error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
What code would work to return a MM/DD/YYYY value for New_Accounting_Date?
Select GLBATCH.AccountingDate, convert(GLBATCH.AccountingDate as date),101) AS New_Accounting_Date from GLBATCH
I 'm working with visual studio 2005 and I have created an SQLServer Project. I'm using the CLR functionality which comes with SQLserver 2005. This means that I can write VB.nEt code and use it inside Sqlserver 2005.So far so good. I am now inside the .NET I have created a Function(must remind you that I have created an SQLserver Project) which takes two string arguments. The date value in a string format and the string format.
In Our case the function returns a string.It will return a datetime although. So we have
Dim Datetime_Val As DateTime = Nothing Dim Date_Val As Date = Nothing Dim StrTemp As String = "" Dim StrDateTemp As String = Nothing Dim StrTimeTemp As String = Nothing Dim ls_return As String = Nothing Dim lindexof As Integer Dim Counter As Integer = 0
lindexof = 0 Select Case StrFormat Case "DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MIS" For Counter = 1 To 2 lindexof = StrDate.IndexOf("-", lindexof + 1) Next lindexof += 5
The above is a simple code. As you can see I'm trying to convert the TO_DATE function ,which work with ORACLE, to make it work with SQLServer 2005. I've been trying unsuccessfully to combine the variables StrDateTemp and StrTimeTemp into a datetime value. I used the following code but nothing
Datetime_Val = CDate(StrDateTemp & " " & StrTimeTemp) Didn't work
Datetime_Val = Convert.ToDateTime(StrDateTemp & " " & StrTimeTemp) Didn't work
Datetime_Val = DateTime.Parse(StrDateTemp & " " & StrTimeTemp) Didn't work
But I am receiveing an error. I want to avoid changing all of my applications with a specific format.This sql statement without the dbo prefix I'm using in Oracle. I want to keep the format of the SQL and let VB.NET do the parsing for me. It is easier for me to put in my SQLs the dbo infront rather changing the complete SQL. I have two questions . How am I going to create a TO_DATE function which Oracle uses and write something similar in SQLserver ? And If I cannot do that how am I going to get the database 's datetime format and create with VB.NET the Datetime value from the two variables ?
My problem I believe is quite complex. I would be mostly appreciated if you could help me on this.
Running into a problem with trying to pull multiple values in a stored procedure. Ran Profiler for trace on what variable is coming back as when running in Reporting Services. Profiler shows this:
Trying to run Replace function but not quite getting the syntaxt correct. The stored procedure will work but when running report will often get unclosed quotation marks. What I have:
I have a date and time field in the following format dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss:mmmm...I only want to retrieve the date in the following format dd/mm/yyyy When I use the following though it retreives it in yyyy-mm-dd format.
I have a requirement as follows: in my DB, i have a column in which i loaded the date data as dd.mm.yyyy. the column data type is string. now i want to change this value to YYYY-MM-DD format. Please help how to chaieve this.
Folks I need help with a date: I would like to get One month old date in mm/dd/yyyy format. The data stored in the table also has timings and for archving purpose I need only mm/dd/yyyy format so that I can specify where TableDate <= 'mm/dd/yy' instead of TableDate <= DATEADD(mm,-1,GETDATE())
The following query works fine against SQL Server 2000 here in the US:SELECT * from TNEWSARTICLES where CreatedOn < '2003-04-25 14:22'But in the UK, it returns this error:80040e07: The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data typeresulted in an out-of-range datetime valueIf I change the format to YYYY-DD-MM, then it does work in the UK. ButI was under the impression that the YYYY-MM-DD format will workregardless of regional date format settings. Is this wrong?Any help is appreciatedTed
hi there, i have a calendar that i put into a string ilke this string str = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString(); the result is dd/mm/yyyy date which is great, but for inserting into my DB (MSSQL) it needs to be a datetime field, however when i convert it Datetime dtDate = Convert.ToDateTime(str); it takes my date and adds 00:00:00 onto the end and this is not what i want! i just want the dd/mm/yyy how do i do this, it has to be simple but i have been searching for hours and cant find anything, i am using ASP.NET 2 and C# Thanks
Hi there. Id like to use the smalldatetime type to store my dates in my SQL db. However I do not want the time added on or anything and I want it in the dd/mm/yyyy format. I am getting the dates from my webpage as strings. how do I cast them into the above format when doing inserts and updates? Is there a validation control available for dates in this format that I can use on my page?? I have many dates to validate and writing pages of code doesn't seem like the best solution. There must be an easier way... Thanks, all you clever people...
Hi Unlike the colonies, we still use dd/mm/yyyy format in the UK. A bit like VB string concatentation, DTS likes to treat dd/mm/yyyy dates as mm/dd/yyyy if dd <=12. I've run into this problem twice and been stumped both times. The first time I was setting up a new DTS and switched to BULK INSERT instead. This time I was editing an existing DTS but was able to alter the CSV export to store the dates as YYYY-MM-DD. I appreciate this is ISO whatisface and ODBC canoni-watsit and is the ideal format to transfer dates between RDBMS systems but... is there a third way? Can you tell SQL Server to expect to see the incoming dates in DD/MM/YYYY format and respond accordingly? I expected the answer to be in the DateTimeString transformation but I cannot get it to work - errors (haven't got the precise error to hand but can supply). Not urgent. Not even important. Just curious :) TIA chaps
Hi I'm trying to store dates in this format as I have generated a control in asp.net which stores dates in this format as per the clients request. I am using the datetime type in my tables. How do exclude the time part of the value and get it to save in the above format. Using sql 2005. Localisation is currently set to 'en-gb'. Thanks.
I am trying to list all projects managed by technicians who joined in the year 2005 or later. the techno column is in both tables(test_technicians & test_projects) and the projno is only in the test_projects table. Whats wrong with my coding? I keep getting an error message that the FROM statement is in the wrong place
SELECT techno, projno Tstartdate TO_CHAR(Tstartdate,'YYYY') AS Tech Start Date FROM test_technicians, test_projects WHERE test_technicians.techno = test_projects.techno AND TO_CHAR(Tstartdate,'YYYY') >= '2005';
I need to dispaly 'mm/dd/yyyy' on a text box(aspx page) by default. When the user enters the date(only numerics) in the text box it should take the date in that order. eg.. if the user enters 01012008 on that text box, it should display 01/01/2008, adding '/' by itself. if the user enters 12312008 on that text box, it should display 12/31/2008, adding '/' by itself. I am having tuff time,Can anyone, please provide the code for this solution.
I have a column in a database set as a DATETIME datatype, when I select it, I want to return it as:
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm am or pm.
How in the world can I do this? I looked at the function CONVERT() and it doesnt seem to have this format as a valid type. This is causing me to lose my hair, in MySQL it is just so much easier. .
At any rate, currently when I select the value without any convert() it returns as:
How do I update a date with this format? I put HTMLEncode = false and dataformatString = {0:d} so I can just have the date and drop the time. Now it's not updating in the database. Here's my stored procedure: CREATE PROCEDURE [UpdateRtnDate] @loanrequestid int, @returndate datetime AS Update LibraryRequest set[returndate]=@returndatewhere loanrequestid = @loanrequestid It doesn't go into the database what am I misisng?
