Varchar To Date

Jan 13, 2004

This is probably a very simple question, but there it goes.

I have a DB table with the following varchar value:
1/12/2004

I want to convert the specified data to the following:
Monday, January 12th, 2004

I guess i want to:
Convert(DATETIME, '1/12/2004'), But...
I want it to be inserted into the new table as a long date type value.

Is this possible?


Thanks in advance!

Dynamic SQL - Date To Varchar

Jun 18, 2008

I cannot execute a dynamic SQL function when I convert a datetime to a string:

declare @date_key datetime
set @date_key = '5/1/08'

select * from OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=test;Trusted_Connection=yes; Integrated Security=SSPI'
,'Execute dbFinance..spCalc ''' + convert(varchar(20), @date_key, 101) +'''')

The code below produces the exact same text but DOES work:
select * from OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=test;Trusted_Connection=yes; Integrated Security=SSPI','Execute dbFinance..spCalc ''05/01/2008''')

Convert Varchar To Date

Nov 18, 2005

Hi

I have a varchar field with values like "Jun 13 1995 12:" I want to change the type of the field to Date and the format of the values to "mm/dd/yyyy".

If I change the type of the field in the design view to Date, SQL gives me an error saying that the type cannot be changed and data would be lost.

So I think changing the dates to the mm/dd/yyyy format first and then changing the field type from varchar to date would work.

Can someone please help me as how to do this.

Thanks

Date Time Varchar

Aug 2, 2006

Hi All,

We are trying to create a new view within SQL 2000. We have two colums from seperate tables, 1 is a datetime data type which stores the Date the other is a varchar that stores the time.

What we would like to do is merge the two into one datetime colum so we can work with this one datetime column. Unfortunaly it is not posible to have this entered into the one field at data entry. If needed we can change the time column from a varchar to a datetime datatype.

Also our SQL knowledge is minimal.

Hope this makes sense any help would be deeply appreciated.

Regards

Darren

Cast A Varchar As A Date

Mar 5, 2007

I have developed a CF application and now need to add some charts to it for admin purposes. I have a form page that uses a calendar widget to let a manager select a date range and submits to display data for that timeframe. I need to convert the formfields to a date for my WHERE clause in my query. My experience to this point has just been simple queries of one table. below is a sample I found and modified numerous time to try and make it work with no success.

Can anyone give me a hand with this?

SELECT COUNT ((CHG_TYP_CD)) AS CHG_TYP,
CHG_TYP_CD
FROM WRK_RQS
WHERE(CAST('form.startdate' AS datetime) >= RQS_SBM_TS)
AND
(CAST('form.startdate' AS datetime) <= RQS_SBM_TS)
GROUP BYCHG_TYP_CD

Converting Varchar To Date From Asp.net To Sort

Jul 20, 2004

for some odd reason our other programmer used varchar datatype to store dates. he claims it gives him more control. now i am trying to sort it based on date. so i create a procedure:

CREATE PROCEDURE GetAllWeekEnding

AS
Select convert(datetime, we) as we2 FROM tblArchive order by we2
GO

if i use the convert function in the procedure, i'll get an error msg when i run the code. this is the code i am using.

Dim MyConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionStringSQL"))
Dim MyCommand As SqlCommand

MyCommand = New SqlCommand("GetAllWeekEnding", MyConnection)
MyCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
MyConnection.Open()

Dim mydr As SqlDataReader = MyCommand.ExecuteReader()
While mydr.Read()
DropDownList1.Items.Add(mydr("we2"))
End While

mydr.Close()
MyConnection.Close()

the error message is: No accessible overloaded 'ListItemCollection.Add' can be called without a narrowing conversion

any ideas?

ORDER BY [Date] Isn't Working Since It's Not A DateTime (it's A Varchar!)

Mar 4, 2004

Hi everyone.

I know, I know, it should have been a datetime from the start...but here's the problem.

I'm trying to sort by my date field but because it looks like: "04/03/2004 12:14:21 PM" it's not ordering it properly using:

ORDER BY [Date]

Are there any work arounds for this? Is there some way of doing:

ORDER BY covert(datetime, [Date], 103) or something?

Cheers

SQL Server 2012 :: Converting Year And Month Varchar To Date

Jan 31, 2014

I have a table with Month , Year as varchar. I realized it was a big mistake. Since its getting too complicated to query this way.

I would now like to add another column called date and store these Year Month as a date to my existing table

Year Month ProductName Date

2013 11 CDE 2013-11-01

Is there a way I can do it for all the columns of the existing table ??

Problems Moving Data Over 8000k In DB2 Varchar Column Into SQL Server Varchar(max) Using SSIS

Nov 20, 2007



I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.

I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.

I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "LIST_DATA_RCVD".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: There was an error with output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (287). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: The "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.

[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.

Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?

And the error I kept getting is:
