Aug 8, 2006
hi, good day, if i have a table as follow:
Create table test
(
student_name varchar(20),
student id varchar(20),
register_dt varchar(50)
)
and insert data like
insert into test values('rebecca','0001','2006-08-08 12:15:03')

Create table data_tbl

Hi,I want to change 2 default behaviors of ms-sql server within a connection.1. All varchar (etc.) fields should be returned as UTF-8.I know about field attribute collation and convert function,but I want simple query like:SELECT * FROM table;to return all varchars as UTF-8, no matter how the fields weredefined and which collation.In MySQL I execute: "SET NAMES 'utf-8';" after connecting to serverIn PgSQL I use native function: pg_set_client_encoding()2. Default datetime format is sth like this: "Apr 20 2008 12:01PM"I just want all datetimes fields were returned as:"2008-04-20 12:01:02"I can do that with function convert() (style=20) but I want(as in question above) a simple query like:SELECT * FROM table;to return date and time formatted as described above.In MySQL and PgSQL the format "2008-04-20 12:01:02" is the defaultone.Is it possible to do that? If yes, please tell me how can I do that?Wladyslaw

hi,
How do i convert a varchar field into the datetime data type? the reason i need this lies in the requirement that in the earlier data base the column that is hlding the date value is having the data type as varchar. and in the new design the column data type is datetime. i am using sql scripts for the data migration from the older design to the newer and got stuck with this datetime convertion issue. do let me know the best possible solution.
following are the sample data that is theer in the older table for the date.
12/12/2003
1/13/2007
01132004
1-1-2004
1.2.2001
there is no uniformity of the data that is stored currently.
thnkx in adv.

I want to write some SQL which results in an automatic conversion of adatetime to a string in a format suitable for the Language of theconnection (either by explicitly setting the Language in theconnection string, or by setting the default language in for the userused for the connection.)The casting from string to datetime uses the language setting:Data Source=localhostsqlexpress;Initial Catalog=master;PersistSecurity Info=True; Language =BRITISH ENGLISH; Trusted_Connection=yes;Application Name = Test Application;select cast('13/01/2008' as datetime) --WORKS as expectedselect cast('01/13/2008' as datetime) --FAILS as expectedandData Source=localhostsqlexpress;Initial Catalog=master;PersistSecurity Info=True; Language =ENGLISH; Trusted_Connection=yes;Application Name = Test Application;select cast('13/01/2008' as datetime) --FAILS as expectedselect cast('01/13/2008' as datetime) --WORKS as expectedbut implicit casting the other way ignores the "Language setting" (iethe format is the same for both):BRITISH ENGLISHselect cast(cast('12/01/2008' as datetime) as nvarchar(max)) --Jan 122008 12:00AMselect convert(nvarchar(max),cast('12/01/2008' as datetime)) --Jan 122008 12:00AMENGLISHselect cast(cast('12/01/2008' as datetime) as nvarchar(max)) --Dec 12008 12:00AMselect convert(nvarchar(max),cast('12/01/2008' as datetime)) -- Dec 12008 12:00AMIs it possible to tell SQL Server "For language w convert datetimes tostrings using format x, but for language y use format z?"Regards,Dan

I need to automatically update a datetime field for a record to the current time whenever the record is updated.
create table t (
id bigint identity(1,1) not null primary key,
name varchar(50),
value varchar(50),
ts datetime not null default getutcdate()
)
go
insert t (name, value) values ('fred', 'bob')
go
update t set value='robert' where id=1 and name='fred'
go
One option would be to use an instead of update trigger.
create trigger update_t on t
instead of update as
update t set ts=getutcdate(),name=inserted.name, value=inserted.value from t inner join inserted on t.id=inserted.id
go
update t set value='dick' where id=1 and name='fred'
go
Sounds like I've solved my own problem, heh? Well, here's the catch ... you can't know the names of the other columns at the time you write the trigger. I.e. you only know that there is a ts field that needs to be updated internally, otherwise you want the update to do the same thing it would normally do.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I am trying to access a date column up to millisecond precession. So I cast date to as follows:
Code BlockCONVERT(varchar(23),CREATE_DATE,121)
I get millisecond part as a result of query but its 000?.
When I try to test the format by using getDate instead of DateTime column I get right milliseconds.
CONVERT(varchar(23),GetDate(),121) --Gives right milliseconds in return

I am trying to run this statement
Select Calims, ProCode From Inquiry Where ProCode Between 80000 and 89999
ProCode is a varchar but I am still checking a range on it.
It seem to work fine but then there is some invalid data entry in this column
for example 'abace' or '100i' so I get the error.
1) how I can exclude them out of my query.
Someone suggested the following but I dont understand how do achieve that. thanks
" However, there would appear to be different data types. If Value is a character
--based type then you may want to limit the search by first extracting numeric values
-- with something like ISNUMERIC(Value) = 1 and then converting them to numerics using
--the convert function - CONVERT(int, Value) BETWEEN 10000 and 20000."

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
