Datetime Conversion


I am calling a recordset from sql which happens to contain one column that is a datetime in the format: DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS. So when I call that column from the db, it displays in the same format within my page.

However, I would like to be able to display the datetime as part of my recordset, but in a more aesthetically pleasing format (i.e: Sunday 1st May 2000, 7.23PM)

I have tried using the formatdatetime() function along with my rs, but this causes syntax errors. I know this is probably dead simple, but I don't get it!

Datetime
I have a shopping cart that logs the datetime when a user logs in...

I want to run reports to see who all has been on in the last 90 minutes (or whatever my script specifies)

The problem is that I cant get the select statement down...

I would think it to be something like:

SELECT CompanyName, LastLoggedIn from LoginDB where LastLoggedIn > (LastLoggedIn -90m)

And obviosuly that doesnt work as the datetime field date is in the format:

1/21/2007 2:20:00 PM

Datetime
I just want datetime to be displayed

Datetime
I am trying to use the datetime function. I am using Access as my backend database if you are wondering. I am building a program where someone can keep track of the software in our department and she wanted it to be able to email her when the software has been checked out for over 7 days.

how to do this or where I begin? I am not too familiar with how one would add to dates in ASP.

Datetime
i want to query the datetime field. need some guidance. Intention is to "Select * ...... Where datetime > 1st Jan 2006 and datetime < 31st Jan 2006" . My datetime is in "mm/dd/yyyy HH:MI: SS" . i understand that i can't put the query as in "where datetime => '01/01/2006' and datetime <= '01/31/2006'

i need to convert it to varchar as in "where convert(datetime, convert(varchar(10)...". Am i right ? Any other way to achieve that? What will be the correct query ?

Datetime SQL If Statement
I am designing a page in ASP and using MSSQL for the database. I want to use an if statement saying that if the field is empty, display something, else display something else.

However when i write:

Code:

If rsBoxEdit.Fields.Item("bFinishTime").Value = "" Then
response.write("Edit Finish Time")
Else
response.write("Finish Time Already has a Value")
End If

It say "Finish Time Already has a Value" when the field is blank.

The database saud the field is <NULL> if this helps and the field type is set to datetime.

Also if i put

Code:

If rsBoxEdit.Fields.Item("bFinishTime").Value <> "" Then
response.write("Edit Finish Time")
Else
response.write("Finish Time Already has a Value")
End If

It STILL says "Finish Time Already has a Value"

If someone could help that would be great....

Mysql And Datetime
I am using mysql as my database and which to use a datetime field, for both displaying the data and time and using it to sort the recordsets.

And although when you look at the Db it shows the data and time like this

yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss

however if you simply display the field it displays like this

mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss am (or pm)

I want to sort the data out so that it displays dd/mm/yyyy and there is no time, i can do this but wanted to know if there is a better way of doing it

My problems being I first have to work out if the date is below 10 then us a split function according, then the same with the month, then i have to use a massive if statement, to get it to display in words, and then I have to us the queries before so i can split the year, even if i use to fields in the db to store time and date i would still have the same problems, what is the best way to do this, Plus i may have more than one record to do, will this make a big different in processing my page if i say have 20 records to do.

and just to make sure is the timedate field suitable to sort my record sets out.

Out-of-range Datetime Value.
Once i inserted "date()" in date field
This worked fine for 3days
but on the 4th day I got this error

The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.

Again I changed the format of date to oracle DB format
and Ive solved the prob

I just want to know why I got that error

Datetime Format
In one of my asp webpage,i am fetching the data from a XML file and which indeed is fetching data from mySql database.

Now the date time format i am getting in from XML is "Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 2:03:42 PM" and when i display that time in my asp webpage then it shows like
"Wed, 24 Oct 2007 19:03:42 +0000"

Date From DateTime
I'm trying to isolate just the m/d/yyyy part of a datetime string like
below. Can someone tell me why my string modification fails on some dates? I
thought byb basing my code on where the blank space between the date and
time would work. my code works on some dates that are single digit days and
months.

mydate = "12/30/2005 10:00 AM"

newDate = Left(mydate,len(mydate)-Instr(mydate," "))
response.write newDate
' trying the return 12/30/2005

Datetime Problem
I have a form that submits the date to SQL database. problem is the date keeps getting messed up, such as:

25/12/05 is in the db as 05/12/2025

I live in the UK hence dd/mm/yy.

I have tried using Code:

<% LCID=2057 %>

at the top of the page but still the same.

Search Datetime
what formate does your variable have to be in to search a sql datetime type i am trying mm/dd/year?

Now() With DateTime Field
I am trying to do an INSERT using the Now() function to populate a MySQL DateTime field. It is giving me the following error:

Incorrect datetime value: ‘11/20/2005 4:56:39 PM’ for Column ‘DateAdded’ at row 1.

The SQL works if I remove the DateAdded part so I assume the SQL statement is good. The reading I have done on MySQL shows examples using the Now() function inserting into different date/time MySQL data types so I don’t understand why my SQL is not working. I am trying to use the DateTime data type… basically, I want to keep as accurate of a date time as possible.....

Insert Datetime
This is part of an expense reporting application that I'm trying to recreate for a client. Client logs in and is shown a date. The date shown lets them know that they are entering info for the month after their last report (which is why we can't use Now(). The months have to be entered sequentially.This part is working fine.

I have a hidden field that holds the same date variable that I need inserted back into the same db. When they submit the form, they get a results page telling them everything went through. Everything is being inserted correctly to the database except for the datetime. It gets inserted incorrectly like this 0000-00-00 00:00:00. Meaning, it's zeroed out everytime even though the hidden field is pulling the date correctly.

Datetime Timestamp
how can i only display the hour / minute portion when i do (timestamp2 - timestamp1) in asp. When i display in asp, it gives me some funky number, probably it is the representation of timestamp value. It works in query analyzer, it gives me some date but the time is write though.

Subtract One Datetime From Another
need to subtract one date from another to show how long a user was logger in for. i.e.

<%=(rsDriverLogin.Fields.Item("OFF_DATE").Value)%> minus
<%=(rsDriverLogin.Fields.Item("ON_DATE").Value)%>

The values in the sql OFF_DATE and ON_DATE fields are stored as 13/06/2006 19:01:28 . Can either be done on the ASP page or in the db itself, doesn't matter which.

Formatting DateTime
I have a client who does not like the uppercase PM AM that is passed from MS SQL I would like to format that to am pm lower case. my code is Code:

<%= " " & TimeValue(rsDT("StartDT")) & " - " & TimeValue(rsDT("EndDT"))%>

this returns

1:00:00 AM - 1:00:00 PM

I grabbed this code from the forums here which I have used before...


Function ISODate( dt )
If Not IsDate( dt ) Then
ISODate = "NULL"
Else
dt = CDate( dt ) ' safety
ISODate = "'" & Year(dt) & "-" & Month(t) & "-" & Day(dt) & "'"
End If
End Function


ISODate = "'" & Year(dt) & "-" & Right("0" & Month(t),2) & "-" & Right("0" & Day(dt),2) & "'"

My question is How do I modify it to add the time to the ISODate function and then include it in my insert statement correctly?

Querying A DateTime Field In An SQL DB Using ASP
I have a small (still) SQL database, which I am trying to query from an ASP
page.

The field I am querying is of DATETIME data type, and is populated
automatically using the GetDate() function as a default value.

When I try and search on this field, using a date/time in the format
dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss as the search criteria, it fails with the following
error:

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The conversion of a char data
type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.

Can anyone tell me why this is? Surely if I am passing a value in the
correct format for the data stored in the field it should work? Or am I
missing something.

Text Changes Colour/datetime
I have a form which I'm trying to get the writing to change colour after 48 hours and then 336 hours. Fields that need to change:

InstallationDate - compare the SignedDate with the InstallationDate. If the InstallationDate is older than 48 hours then the text needs to change to red. InstallComplete - compare the SignedDate with the InstallComplete field. If the InstallComplete field is still not filled [null] after 48 hours of the signed date then the text needs to change to red.

Calling SQL Records In ASP With Different DATETIME Values
I have buil a app that records types of transactions.

Display DateTime Field From Access In UK Format
I have a DateTime stamp in one of my Access database columns. Using now() as the default value, it enters records in the following format:

17/06/2005 14:28:40

This is perfect. UK format, just as I want.

However, when I pull this record into an ASP page it appears in a different format:

6/17/2005 14:28:40 AM

How can I stop it from re-writing the data into American format? I just need to display it exactly as it is in the database.

Cdbl Conversion
I have a money datatype field in a SQL Server database.

I use the following method to take a value passed in the Request.Form collection and convert it to the double datatype:

cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr = replace(cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr,"$","")
cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr = replace(cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr,",","")
cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr = cdbl(cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr)

I keep getting a type mismatch 'cdbl' error on the line:
cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr = cdbl(cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr)

What's weird is I use this in other sections of my code and it works fine...no error. I've checked and re-checked the code and can't find the why this is happening?

Date Conversion
I am in UK using XP with date format set to dd/mm/yy. I am running an asp

retrieved as objrec("todate") in US format mm/dd/yy.
To rectify this so as not to confuse visitors to the site I am trying to get

function format(objrec("todate"), "d-mmmm-yy"). This returns me a VBScript
runtime error "Type mismatch: 'format' "
The data base field "todate" is stored in short date format, which should be
OK shouldnt it?

End if

But it is not working. I am getting no errors it is just leaving the DB field empty.
