DateTime From Database Entry


Hi, I know this is probably very simple but I am pretty new to this and have tried looking but cant seem to get the search criteria right.
I have  a database with a storeDate field which is of shortdatetime type. I am connecting to the database (MSSQL)  via a stored procedure and returning all the records. I then use the code
 
 foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
  {
      DateTime dtTo = DateTime.Now;
      DateTime dtFrom = DateTime.Parse(dr["storeDate"].ToString());
      TimeSpan diff = dtTo.Subtract(dtFrom);
  }
 I am basically trying to find out the age of the database entry by subtracting it from the current DateTime so i can delete records over a certain age. The problem (at least one of them!) is retrieving the "storeDate" object from the database and storing it in the dtFrom object. I have tried just assigning it directly as dtFrom = dr["storeDate"] and various other methods but I just don't know enough to assign it!  Can anyone help me with this or spot any other mistakes in this process of removing old files automatically.
 
Greatly Appreciated,Sean.

Data Entry In A Datetime Field
Hi,

I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express for creating my database. I also use the GUI tools for data entry instead of using T-SQL. Whenever I try to enter a value in a field that has a smalldatetime data type, it gives me an error message -
"Invalid Value for cell (row 1, column 2).
 
The changed value in this cell was not recognised as valid.
.Net Framework Datatype: Datetime
Error Message: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
Type a value appropriate for this data type or press ESC to cancel the change."

Now I have tried entering all different combinations in which one can enter a date or a time or both, including in the format I have specified in the windows regional settings, but I always get the same error message.

How do I input data into the field?

Hi,

I use only English as the default language for all programs, OS included. The date in question is not just one particular date, it is any date or time value, and I've been facing this issue ever since I started using SQL Server Express a year ago. Only I haven't used it much since, and need to seriously develop something now, that I bothered to ask the question here.

Some examples of the values I tried entering yesterday, and none of them worked. (I got the same error message for each value) -

1-1-2007

01-01-2007

01/01/2007

01,01,2007

01:01:2007

Jan 01, 2007 (this is the format I have specified for short date in the Win regional settings - MMM dd, yyyy)

I even tried entering time alongside with all those above figures in the format -

11:35 PM

11:35 AM

23:35

The only time value(s) I didn't try was/were - hh:mms tt - which is the time format specified in my Win regional settings, neither standalone, nor with the date values.

I also tried entering a time value standalone, without the date. Still no go.

(Also, as I have gleaned from previous posts, if all goes well and SQL Server accepts your data, then if you enter just a date value in a datetime field, then  the field automatically gets populated with the value of the system time at that moment, and if you enter just a standalone time value, then the date part will be filled by the system date value on the date of the entry. Am I correct so far?)

Now I'm in a real fix because of the inability to enter date/time values.

Could you please help me out?

I don't understand. I can enter the datetime values in all the above mentioned combinations if I use an Insert or Update statement using T-SQL, but I can't seem to enter data in the datetime/smalldatetime fields at all if I try to use the GUI of Management Studio Express to enter data. (right click the table, select show table, and the grid view pops up). Ditto for using GUI tools of Visual Studio Express. Is this a bug in the Visual Studio (Express) software?

Also, my other concerns are, once I develop a front-end for data entry using VB, will I face the same issues with data entry in the datetime fields using the GUI of the front end? I can't test that right now, because I'm still learning VB, and cannot create the front end just yet.

Originally posted by me this afternoon, but it never showed up on the page -

Alright, I have done a complete reinstall of Win XP, and have also reinstalled SQL Server Express. Prior to this, I had SQLExpress SP1, but now I have directly installed SP2.

Now I continue to face the same issue. SQL Server will not accept any value for any datetime field, unless it is entered as an SQL insert statement. It won't accept the value entered in the exact same format as the insert statement from the GUI mode of Management Studio Express, nor will it take any values from any GUI developed using VBExpress and the fill dataset method. It throws an error everytime. I don't know any other way of databinding and updating/inserting using VB at this time.

I am at my wits' end because of this. I ask again, is this a bug in SQL Server Express? If so how do I report it to MS and get my issue resolved? If not, even then how can I solve this problem?

 

 

Could someone please help me out? I am stuck and cannot use the product at all, without the datetime field.

Find The Earliest Datetime Entry & Then Update
Finding the earliest datetime entry, and then updating the database on these reults.

I need to query a table of data that has multiple datetime entries in it relating to individual customer records. So one customer could have 1 entry, or it could have 10 entries. I need to be able to identify the earliest of these records, and then on this earliest record update a field value. Example:

My Fields in the table are as follows.
Log_ID, Cust_Ref_No, ActionDateTime, Action_Code

The Log_ID is the primary key, and I need to update the Action_Code field on only the earliest entry against a customer record i.e.

12345,ABCDEF,01/01/2007 00:00:01.000,6
12346,ABCDEF,01/01/2007 09:00:00.000,6
12347,ABCDEF,01/01/2007 17:00:00.000,2

In the above I need to change the first record Action_Code from a 6 to a 1, but leave all other records unaffected.

All help greatly appreciated, Thanks : o )

Datetime Entry For Querying Analysis Service Cube
Hi everybody,

I have two problems while using a analysis service cube as data source for a reporting service report.

1.) I've an individual time dimension which has day entries in the standard date format "mm/dd/yyyy". When using an parametric entry for the date hierachy the reporting offers me all entries as a list (some 1000 entries). Looking under report parameters I recognized that the input parameter is listed as of the type string. However I know that the underlying field and as well the hierachy in the cube is of the format datetime. Change it to datetime causes the reporting service to fail with the error message:

An error occured during local report processing.
The property 'ValidValues' of report parameter 'DIM...' doesn't have the expected type.

How can I use the parameter in the format datetime to restrict the time dimension? ...so that I can select the date over the calendar function.

2.) I have another dimension with the hierachy cycle which has the string format "year-month". I would like to use the selection of the date hierachy to create the restriction on the cycle hierachy. I.e. entering '01/16/2007' on the time dimension should write the value '2007-01' to a parameter which is then used to restrict the cycle hierachy. Experimenting with report parameters always caused the error message:

An error occured during local report processing.
An error has occured during report processing.
Query execution failed for data set 'DIM...'.
Query (1,453) The restriction by the CONSTRAINED-flag in the STRTOSET-function has been violated.

As I only allow single value entries I thought about changing the STRTOSET command in the underlying MDX query into STRTOMEMBER. However this didn't solve the problem.

How can I create an input for a restriction on a dimension based on a parameter with a self constructed string?

Thanks,

StSt

Identical Database Entry Already?
Here's some code that says it should identify if a user already exists in my database. I have changed the code to match my database, but it seems to have somewhat the opposite affect, rejecting all names (even new ones) or accepting all names (including existing ones). The switch in situations occurs in the "if" statement towardsd the end, when I change the sign of objDR.RecordsAffected.  Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Thanks.
Function DoesUserExist(ByVal userName As String) As Boolean
Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)Netsdk'; trusted_connection=true; Database='AuthorizedUsers'"
Dim sqlConnection As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)

Dim queryString As String = "SELECT [Users].[UserName] FROM [Users] WHERE ([Users].[UserName] = @UserName)"
Dim sqlCommand As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConnection)
Dim Cmd as New SQLCommand(queryString, sqlConnection)

Null Entry In The Database
 

I am using a script component to retrieve some values from a server. This script component using Script task which uses VB.NET code. I have tested the VB.NET code and it returns a non null value for a string field 'sentence'. The 'sentence' feild is then passed on to an OLE DB Command transformation to be stored into the database along with a couple of other feilds.
 
The OLE DB Command transformation uses a stored procedure to store these feilds into the database. But when I check my table in the database, all other feilds are stored properly other than the 'sentence' feild which is null.
 
I am wondering what could be causingthis problem.
 
Thanks

Now..When inserting data into TABLE B ,

 ->I need to check if the Attribute already exists in TABLE B .

 -> If it already exists then I must update the Value feild with the latest value from TABLEA based on updated_datetime.

(Ex: Attribute 'A' already exists in tableB  so i need to update the VALUE feild in TABLE B to 3.3 which is the latest updated value in TABLEA at 08:40AM)

-> If the Attribute doesnt exist then I simply need to insert that row into TABLEB

Can some one please post the query or the procedure that I can use for the above requirement.

Any help greatly appreciated.This is a urgent requirement for me.Please help

Thanks

My database is divided into schemas just like AdventureWorks.
Also, no need to worry about date conversion, value could be set to current date.

Automatically Update Datetime Field In A Database Table.
hi e'body:

I have some database tables, and each one of them have a creation_date and modified_date in them. I was trying to figure out a way where when a row in one of these tables is changed using Enterprise Manager (Database -> Tables -> select table -> right click -> select all rows -> change a field in a row inside a table), is there a way apart from triggers, such that the "modified_date" column for that row get changed to 'getdate()' (rather picks up the current datetime).

thanks in advance.

Howto Insert A Null DateTime Into A Sql Server 2005 Database
I'm importing data form an Excel file to a Sql Server Database. Some of the data imported represents time as a double type so i convert the times into DateTime to be inserted into the database. The time values that aren't available in the Excel file are 0.. so what i want to do is insert null into the database for all the values that are 0 in the excel file... How do i do that based on this code i have so far:protected void ButtonImport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){PanelUpload.Visible = false;PanelView.Visible = false;PanelImport.Visible = true;LabelImport.Text = "";OleDbCommand objCommand = new OleDbCommand();objCommand = ExcelConnection(); OleDbDataReader reader;reader = objCommand.ExecuteReader(); while (reader.Read()){DateTime? in_1 = null;DateTime? out_1 = null;DateTime? in_2 = null;DateTime? out_2 = null;   int emp_id = Convert.ToInt32(reader["emp_id"]);DateTime date_entry = Convert.ToDateTime(reader["date_entry"]);if (Convert.ToDouble(reader["in_1"]) != 0)in_1 = ConvertDoubleToDateTime((double)reader["in_1"]);if (Convert.ToDouble(reader["out_1"]) != 0)out_1 = ConvertDoubleToDateTime((double)reader["out_1"]);if (Convert.ToDouble(reader["in_2"]) != 0)in_2 = ConvertDoubleToDateTime((double)reader["in_2"]);if (Convert.ToDouble(reader["out_2"]) != 0)out_2 = ConvertDoubleToDateTime((double)reader["out_2"]); ImportIntoAttendance(emp_id, date_entry, in_1, out_1, in_2, out_2);} reader.Close();}protected void ImportIntoAttendance(int emp_id, DateTime date_entry, DateTime? in_1, DateTime? out_1, DateTime? in_2, DateTime? out_2){ SqlDataSource AttendanceDataSource = new SqlDataSource();AttendanceDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SalariesConnectionString1"].ToString();AttendanceDataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text;AttendanceDataSource.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO Attendance (emp_id, date_entry, in_1, out_1, in_2, out_2) " +"VALUES ('" + emp_id + "', '" + date_entry + "', '" + in_1 + "', '" + out_1 + "', " +"'" + in_2 + "', '" + out_2 + "')"; int rowsAffected = 0;try{rowsAffected = AttendanceDataSource.Insert();}catch(Exception ex){LabelImport.Text += "<font color=red>" + ex + "</font><br />";} }private DateTime ConvertDoubleToDateTime(double dbTime){string[] SplitTime = dbTime.ToString().Split('.');string hours = SplitTime[0];string minutes = String.Empty;string time = String.Empty; if (dbTime.ToString().IndexOf('.') != -1){if (SplitTime[1].Length >= 1){if (SplitTime[1].Length == 1)minutes = Convert.ToString(Convert.ToDouble(SplitTime[1]) * 10);else if (SplitTime[1].Length > 1)minutes = SplitTime[1];}}elseminutes = "00";time = hours + ":" + minutes;return Convert.ToDateTime(time);}

Inserting And Retriving Datetime Field In Database MSSQL 2000
Hi, Assume I have a table name "myTime". This table is simply only have 1 (one) DATETIME field "MyTestTime" (also serve as a primary number).Table MyTime- MyTestTime : SQLTYPE DATETIMETo insert a new row into this field, I simply wrote :SqlCommand sqlCommand = new SqlCommand("insert into MyTime values('2006-01-09')", sqlConnection);
I got the value of "2006-01-09" from a textbox or other relevan control.I realize when I try to use "SELECT * FROM MyTime" statement, MSSQL server 2000 automatically convert my date value from "2006-01-09" to "01/09/2006" (from YYYY-MM-DD to MM/DD/YYYY). I don't know why this one must be converted to MM/DD/YYYY automatically (I believe this behavior is depend on some "setting option" in my MSSQL server - but I don't know which one).The challenge is :In my country, the actual date format is like German Date format (DD-MM-YYY). Well I know this is only "Customization" problem. But how insert datetime value given from sql query to a datetime variable?// Connect to database, make a query, get the datareader result, and bla bla blaDateTime aDateTime = new DateTime;aDateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(myDataReader["PostDate"].ToString());// close connectionMy question isHow can I make sure that aDateTime's day is 09 not 01. How my program know that 09 is day not month. I can't use string.split() method because it's possible that my database setting will change from "mm-dd-yyyy" to "dd-mm-yyyy"thanks

Millisecond Values Missing When Inserting Datetime Into Datetime Column Of Sql Server
Hi,
I'm inserting a datetime values into sql server 2000 from c#

SQL server table details
Table nameate_test
columnname    datatype
No                  int
date_t              DateTime

C# coding
SqlConnection connectionToDatabase = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=testdb;Integrated Security=SSPI");
            connectionToDatabase.Open();
            DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
            dt1.Columns.Add("no",typeof(System.Int16));
            dt1.Columns.Add("date_t", typeof(System.DateTime));
            DataRow dr = dt1.NewRow();
            dr["no"] = 1;
            dr["date_t"] = DateTime.Now;
            dt1.Rows.Add(dr);
            for(int i=0;i<dt1.Rows.Count;i++)
            {
                string str=dt1.Rows["no"].ToString();
                DateTime dt=(DateTime)dt1.Rows["date_t"];
                string insertQuery = "insert into date_test values(" + str + ",'" + dt + "')";
                SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(insertQuery, connectionToDatabase);
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                MessageBox.Show("saved");
            }
When I run the above code, data is inserted into the table
The value in the date_t column is 2007-07-09 22:10:11 000.The milliseconds value is always 000 only.I need the millisecond values also in date_t column.
Is there any conversion needed for millisecond values?

thanks,
Mani

Last Entry In A Log
(I don't post here often, so in case I'm violating long-standing taboosof this newsgroup, I apologize in advance for calling a relation atable, using nulls, and other ignorant, destructive, and comtemptibleterminology.)I have a table that's keeping a sort of running log of different typesof changes to pieces of data. The table has a foreign key of the databeing changed, the foreign key for the type of change occuring, someinformation about the change in a couple more columns, and a timestampfor each entry. So it's:dataIDeventIDeventInfotimestampWhat I'd like to do, if at all possible, is a single SQL query that,given a dataID, returns the most recent eventInfo and timestamp foreach eventID. Is this possible?Many thanks.-Eric

Could Not Add The Entry...
Can someone please help me solve the following error? I am not sure of the version my hosting company is using and where to get the manual.
Could not add the entry because: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-id, title, entry, date_entered) VALUES ('testing', 'testing', . The query was INSERT INTO blog_entries (blog-id, title, entry, date_entered) VALUES ('testing', 'testing', 'testing'.


PHP Code:




if ($dbh = mysql_connect ('localhost', 'blu6592_money', 'rich')) {
    print '<p>Successfully connected to MySQL.</p>';

if (mysql_select_db ('blu6592_myblog')) {
    print '<p>The database has been selected.</p>';
} else {
    die ('<p>Could not select the database because: <b>' . mysql_error() . '</b></p>');
}

$query = "INSERT INTO blog_entries
(blog-id, title, entry, date_entered)
VALUES (0, '{$_POST['title']}',
'{$_POST['title']}',
'{$_POST['entry']}', NOW())";

if (mysql_query ($query)) {
    print '<p>The blog entry has been added.</p>';
} else {
    print "<p>Could not add the entry because: <b>" . mysql_error() . "</b>. The query was $query.</p>";
}

} else {
    die ('<p>Could not connect to MySQL because: <b>' . mysql_error() . '</b></p>');
}

mysql_close(); 






Thanks in advance.

SQL Query: Finding Records Between Datetime Inside Datetime
Hey :)I'm facing a lot of troubles trying to create a new pause/break-system. Right now i'm building up the query that counts how many records that is inside 2 fields. Let me first show you my table:
ID (int)     |    stamp_start (Type: DateTime)        |      stamp_end (Type: DateTime)           |      Username (varchar)0             |      17-03-07 12:00:00                      |            17-03-07 12:30:00                     |     Hovgaard
The client will enter a start time and a end time and this query should then count how many records that are inside this periode of time.
 Example: The client enter starttime: 12:05 and endtime: 12:35.The query shall then return 1 record found. The same thing if the user enters 12:20 and 12:50.My current query looks like this:SELECT COUNT(ID) AS Expr1 FROM table WHERE (start_stamp <= @pausetime_start) AND (end_stamp >= @pausetime_end)But this will only count if I enter the exact same times as the one inside the table.Any ideas how I can figure this out?Thanks for your time so far :)/Jonas Hovgaard - Denmark

Datetime Data Type Resulted In An Out-of-range Datetime Value. Please Help
Hi,
I have a column of type datetime in sqlserver 2000. Whenever I try to insert the date
 '31/08/2006 23:28:59'
 I get the error "...datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value"
I've looked everywhere and I can't solve the problem. Please note, I first got this error from an asp.net page and in order to ensure that it wasn't some problem with culture settings I decided to run the query straight in Sql Query Anaylser. The results were the same. What else could it be?
cheers,

Anyone Know What Causes This Error Log Entry?
"High priority system task thread: Operating system error Exception 0xAE encountered."

we are seeing this on one of our development servers, running SQL 2005 Enterprise SP1. The symptom is that after the sql service has been running a while (order of days), this error starts getting written to the sql server log file over and over, and eventually the logfile fills the drive.

Apparently it's fixed by this hotfix, but our ops team doesn't want to install this - they'd rather just cycle the service and delete the log when it happens.

I was wondering if anyone else has seen it might know the root cause so we might be able to workaround it without cycling the service. I know, lame question. The correct answer is "install the hotfix" or "install sp2" but our ops team won't do that for now...

Automatic Field Entry
Hi,I'm creating a database using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (Comes with Visual Web Developer). The table which I am creating has the following Fields - all don't allow nulls:IDUserIdDateDescription(UserId is a foreign key to asp_net_Users as I am supporting user accounts)Basically what I need to do is create a page where I as an Administrator can log onto and enter just the text for the field Description. Then once I upload this I wish all users to visit the site and view this Description on a page however with it also listing the Administrator who wrote it along with the Date. I wish both of these fields to be added automatically (UserId to display the User Name and the Date to display the date and time with which the Description was added - However these need to be editable by the Administrator if he/she wishes to change them).Can anyone point me in the right direction on the steps needed to create this scenario?Thanks for any helpDaniel

Selecting First Entry In Results By Name
Hello,
I have a table of names/dates as such:
Class 1     1/1/2007Class 1     1/3/2007Class 1     1/5/2007Class 2     2/1/2007Class 2     2/3/2007Class 3     3/1/2007
What I want to do is select only the nearest entry from the list for each distinct class, so the results are like this:
Class 1     1/1/2007Class 2     2/1/2007Class 3    3/1/2007
So basically, I want the first upcoming class in the list for each distinct class name.  How do I do this?  I'm using SQL 2005 Express.

Could Not Find The Index Entry For RID...
Greetings. Today I was testing the sql backup/restore functions on ourprimary server. I was able to backup my database without any problemsbut when I tried to restore it, I received an error "Could not find theindex entry for RID '3610200101a03cc4b49d8bbc84bac50cbe042cecf76' inindex page (1:40), index ID 0, database 'walkthrough'." Thinking thatdata had been corrupted somehow I tried another database and received asimilar error for that database. In the past, our service provider hasattempted to restore data to this server and the restore failed do toanother data corruption. The problem is, I can't find out where thecorruption is located or how to fix it.When I open the restored database in enterprise manager, it returns theabove error and is unable to get a listing of my tables. In queryanalyzer I am able to view my data but receive the index error when Iattempt to look at the information_schema data. When I try to run a DBCCCHECKDB on the corrupted database it reports 0 errors and 0inconsistencies.So my diagnosis of the problem is that something is corrupting my systemtables and that problem shows up whenever I try to restore data from abackup. There could be a hardware failure but I believe the failurewould affect more then just the sql system tables. Can anyone offer anyadvice on how to find the corruption?Thank you in advanceRichard Bailey*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

System DSN Entry Does Not Show Up
I am installing a product that sets up a System DSN entry for an added database. The problem is that it does not show up in the ODBC - System DSN group as it should. If I try to add it manually, the system tells me that it already exists. I try to overwrite it, which seems to work, but the entry still does not show up. Is there a place I can "clear" out the entry from beside that panel in the odbc administrator?

If I try to user the application to access the data, it does not find it under the local system. If I plug in the server ID from the server manager, I do see the data source and can log onto the system. So, the connection is there, but ODBC Data Source Admin does not see it and the application does not see the server as Local.

Any suggestions?
