I have a data field that's datatype int and I need to convert it to smalldatetime, however, I get one row erroring out due to a typo in the data that has a date of 21190101. What's wrong with my case statement to set that one typo to 20790101?
'SD' = Case When pro_date > 20790000 Then
pro_date = '20790101'
Else CAST(CAST(pro_date AS VARCHAR) AS SMALLDATETIME) End,

I 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?

Hi, I'm working on a DB and I'm trying to write some select statements that will display an employee's pay using the CAST and CONVERT functions. However, I can never seem to get commas inserted into the results please help. Here's the SELECT statements, where am I going wrong?
SELECT
'$' + CAST(CONVERT(MONEY, SUM(PROJECT_BUDGET/1.00), 1) AS VARCHAR) AS 'Total Budget'
FROM
PROJECT;
Our database gets updated each week with text files spat out by a mainframe. Previously, the database was in Access; we copied and pasted the text files into Excel, ran macros on them to convert the data, then pasted the results directly into Access and this worked fine for us.
Now that we've moved the tables to SQL Server 2000, we're having problems with the data. We wanted to set up DTS packages for each file to just put them directly into SQL Server. This works for pretty much everything except for the dates.
The way the files are set up, they're comma delimited files with quotes around the text and nothing around the dates. The dates don't have any delimiters; they're just listed like 13012006. Every time we try to import these files into SQL, it gripes about the datatypes; we're trying to put the dates into datetime fields but SQL thinks they're strings. Eek! If we put date delimiters (like 13/01/2006) SQL pulls them in fine, but apparently the mainframe lacks the ability to put these delimiters in by itself and still run everything else OK. The person who writes the extracts has to do it in a language called 'Focus' which I've never heard of and don't know anything about, and he says what I'm asking for can't be done. OK...so now what?
I've tried and tried to convert these strings into dates using both CAST() and CONVERT() and just can't manage to do it. I know I'm missing something really obvious here; does anyone have any tips or advice? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I need to take a value from a textbox and insert it into a field in my database which takes decimals. My problem, no matter what I try I cannot convert the value so that the database will accept it. This all happens when the submit button is hit on my webpage. Here is the cmdSubmit_click sub code:
Dim surveyNum As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(txtSurveyNum.Text, Globalization.NumberStyles.Number)
myCmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO survey(ID) VALUES('" & surveyNum & "')"
myCmd.Parameters.Add("surveyNum", SqlDbType.Decimal)
myCmd.Parameters("surveyNum").Value = System.Convert.ToDecimal(txtSurveyNum.Text)
myConn.Open()
Try
myCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
lblMessage.Text = "Record successfully updated"
Catch
lblMessage.Text = "Query error: " & Err.Description
End Try
myConn.Close()
Thnx in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Trying to convert the following SELECT statement into a INSERT statement and having trouble. No doubt this will be a piece of cake to someone. To eventually get this to a trigger stage would be nice, but for the moment I'd settle for just plain SQL. Using MS SQL 2000. The database name is reporting. The table name is CallLog. I'm trying to convert seperate date (RecvdDate) and time (RecvdTime) columns into a single DateTime column. I've scoured a lot of web pages but I'm still lost.
==============
use reporting
go
SELECT RecvdDate + RecvdTime FROM [dbo].[CallLog]
===============
Any help much appreciated.
I have a column which is current stored as nvarchar(10), and all of the enteries are either NULL or mm/dd/yyyy.
I am trying to convert the column to smalldatetime using CONVERT or CAST and each time I get an arithmetic overflow error message.
I also tried selecting just the enteries with ISDATE()=1 and converting those to smalldatetime, and still got an arithmetic overflow message.
(I've run ISDATE() several times on the column, and the only rows without ISDATE()=1 are those which have NULL values).
help!

I have an Execute SQL Task that queries for the contents of a file (which is declared as a varbinary type). My SSIS package needs to write these contents into a temporary location, so what I do is that I pass the result into a System.Object variable. I then use that variable in a Script Task.
Problem is whenever I execute my script task and DirectCast or CType the variable to a string (which is what the contents of the file is), I get a "Conversion from type '_ComObject' to type 'String' is not valid."
Any ideas on how to go about this problem?

HI all;
I have a simple question to ask; I need to create a column with the data from my DOB column (which has the smalldatetime type attached to it). I know how to do that but I am not too sure how to convert the data from that column int normal character for example when I copy it into my newly created column and change the type to varchar I get this jan 16 1979 from this date 1979/01/16. But I actually want the data to look like this 19790116, so in effect I just want to take out the slashes.
Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks all.
Hello people.
Please, is there any way to change the date format of a smalldatetime column of a table in SQL Server Express?
What I mean is that the default date format for a column which type is smalldatetime is "MM/dd/yyyy" but I'm developing a localized application and the date format that I would like to use is "dd/MM/yyyy", so I would like to know is if there any way to change this.
I know that I could write some code in my application in order to do the conversion, but I would like to avoid this because I'm using the databinding property of the control and if I have to write a piece of code in order to do the conversion, I will loose this functionality.
I'm currently using WindowsXP SP2, SQL Server Express 2005, SQL Server Management Studio Express and VB.Net 2005 Express Edition. All applications including the OS are USA English version. The application that I'm writing is being localized to PT-BR (Brazilian Portuguese).
Any help and suggestions are very welcomed.
Thanks a lot for all your time and attention.
Rodrigo.
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..... ?
I've got have a populated table and I want to convert a datetime column so it lists the date only (without the time component)
I tried to run this as a script, but returns an error:
update <table>
where <column>=convert(datetime,convert(char10),<column>,101))
When I run only this part, it does strip the date of the time component but it becomes a string, and I need this field stored as a datetime field:
convert(char(10),hire_date,101)
I'd appreciate any suggestions :)
I have a column that is frequently updated with an append query. I need to turn all of the incoming positive values into negative values (as well as convert all of the existing). I tried to multiply the column by -1 in the formula option in table design view but couldn't find the proper formula format.
Can anyone suggest an approach.

Hello everyone, I have searched and seached for an answer to something that I know has to be simple but have been unsuccessful. I appreciate any help...
I am trying to take a char (6) column named col001 and convert it to datetime.
The column is in mmddyy format. I am using SQL 2000, but have available sql 7.0 servers if there is a difference. I expect that I have to write a cursor but have been unable to get the correct syntax. Thanks everyone
I have a column in a table I want to convert all data to UCASE. Currently I have some that are lower case, some Uppercase, and some mixed. Considering there are over 700,000 records and these are just manufacturer names, I want to convert these to uppercase so all displayed information is consistent and I do not have to go through my scripts and convert to UCASE anywhere I pull a manufacturer name.
Is it possible to update a column data to UCASE? I understand how to do this via a row and with a condition, but an entire column has me confused.
Thanks for your help.
It is possible to covert rows into column by using tsql script, see attached file for more details...

I'm having trouble converting a date in the format of:
Jan 11 2006 12:00:00:000AM
to a smalldatetime in my new SSIS package. I'm trying the derived column transformation, but I'm at a wall now, especially with the conversion of 'Jan' string to integer/month/value of 1. Anyone have experience/advice on this transformation?
What happened to the DateTime String transformation in SQL 2000? Was that too unpopular to move to integration services? That transformation saved my butt many times - every banks' data feed we import uses a different date format.
Thanks in advance for any advice/help!

Can anyone please help me with the syntax for this query please. Error is "syntax error converting varchar value '/' to a column of datatype int"
Query:
Code:
select iCalls_Calls.Call_ID,iCalls_Calls.Requestor,Type,Scope,iCalls_Calls.Status_ID,iCalls_Status.Status_I D,
iCalls_Status.Status_Label,((select Count(*) from iCalls_Events where Call_ID = " & Session("Call_ID") & " ) + ' /' + (
select Count(*) from iCalls_Events where Call_ID = "& Session("Call_ID") & " and Events_Flag <> 0)) as Countrec from
((iCalls_Calls inner join iCalls_Status on iCalls_Calls.Status_ID=iCalls_Status.Status_ID ) inner join iCalls_Users on
iCalls_Calls.Requestor=iCalls_Users.User_ID) left outer join iCalls_Messages on iCalls_Calls.Call_ID=iCalls_Messages.Call_ID where Requestor='" & Session("User_ID") & "' AND iCalls_Calls.Status_ID <> 6 order by iCalls_Calls.Call_ID
Thanks...
I have a computed column that I want to cast as decimal.
The two columns it calculates from are both varchar.
Why can I cast the column as INT, but when I try to cast as decimal, I get the following error?
Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric.
what this error means and why I get it only when I want to cast to decimal.
Hi there,
I am looking for a way to define a trigger that is a replacement for a multi-column foreign key.
I know how to a convert a single-column foreign key constraint into a trigger (i.e., to resolve diamond-structured references).
CREATE TABLE parent_tab
(
col_a INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk PRIMARY KEY(col_a)
);
CREATE TABLE child_tab
(
col_x INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT fk FOREIGN KEY (col_x) REFERENCES parent_tab(col_a) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
The conversion would remove the foreign key definition and add this trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER tr_single
ON parent_tab INSTEAD OF DELETE
AS BEGIN
DELETE FROM child_tab WHERE (child_tab.col_x IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted))
DELETE FROM parent_tab WHERE (parent_tab.col_a IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted))
END;
Unfortunately, now I need to resolve a situation where there is involved a multi-column foreign key.
CREATE TABLE parent_tab
(
col_a INTEGER NOT NULL,
col_b INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk PRIMARY KEY(col_a, col_b)
);
CREATE TABLE child_tab
(
col_x INTEGER NOT NULL,
col_y INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT fk FOREIGN KEY (col_x, col_y) REFERENCES parent_tab(col_a, col_b) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
This does not work, because the temporary table "deleted" might contain more than one row. How do I make sure that the values belong to the same row?
-- incorrect trigger, might delete too many rows
CREATE TRIGGER tr_single
ON parent_tab INSTEAD OF DELETE
AS BEGIN
DELETE FROM child_tab WHERE (child_tab.col_x IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted) AND child_tab.col_y IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted))
DELETE FROM parent_tab WHERE (parent_tab.col_a IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted) AND parent_tab.col_b IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted))
END;
-- some magic needed :-)
CREATE TRIGGER tr_single
ON parent_tab INSTEAD OF DELETE
AS BEGIN
DELETE FROM child_tab WHERE (child_tab.col_x IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted AS t1) AND child_tab.col_y IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted AS t2) AND row_id(t1) = row_id(t2))
DELETE FROM parent_tab WHERE (parent_tab.col_a IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted AS t1) AND parent_tab.col_b IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted AS t2) AND row_id(t1) = row_id(t2))
END;
I know the trigger definition above is ***... but I hope that it helps to make clear what I need.
Btw., I use SQL Server 2005.
Thanks in advance,
