SQL Substring On DateTime Field


Hi!

Can anyone tell me how to perform a substring operation on a DateTime field. I'm using SQLServer. I have read that you may have to use casts but I have thus far been unable to get that to work.

My statement:

SELECT EventDate FROM tblEvent WHERE Category = 'GE';

I just want to cut the hours, minutes and seconds off, so that I am left with just the date element.

Thanks all.

Gren

Create Date Field From Substring Of Text Field
I am trying to populate a field in a SQL table based on the valuesreturned from using substring on a text field.Example:Field Name = RecNumField Value = 024071023The 7th and 8th character of this number is the year. I am able toget those digits by saying substring(recnum,7,2) and I get '02'. Nowwhat I need to do is determine if this is >= 50 then concatenate a'19' to the front of it or if it is less that '50' concatenate a '20'.This particular example should return '2002'. Then I want to take theresult of this and populate a field called TaxYear.Any help would be greatly apprecaietd.Mark

Substring On Text Field
Hi,

According to the docs, when using substring on a text field (not varchar):


substring (<text>, start, length)


...the length in this case, represents BYTEs as opposed to number of characters. So my question is, how many bytes per character (or characters per byte)....or is this a possible conversion?

thanks,

Extracting Substring Into New Field
I am trying to populate two fields in my table with the first 6 characters in an existing field with the following command:

SELECT dimension_elist,
SUBSTRING(dimension_elist FROM 1 FOR 6)
AS BU_Number
SUBSTRING(dimension_jde_pl FROM 1 FOR 6)
AS Acct_Number
FROM JDE_Import

The result is an error:
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FROM'.

I am fairly new to SQL so I am probably missing something basic.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Informix Date Type Field To SQL Server Datetime Field Error
 

I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server.  When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination,  I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
 
I tried a couple of things:
 
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
 
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.
 
What options do I have that will work?

DateTime Field
OUr end-users will be accessing data through a SQL view through third party applications. Ex. Access, Excel, Crystal Reports. All the date fields need to only have 'Data' XX/XX/XXXX, not datetime. Since SQL Server only stores the data as datetime, I convert the data in the proper format in the Create view statement. The only problem is that the data is now a text (varchar(10) field in which sorting through these third party applications causes issues.
Ex. 01/05/2000 comes before 02/02/1999 because it sorts on the first characters. Is there a way in SQL to store the data as a Date only or any other suggestions.

Thanks for your help.

Get The Time From A DateTime Field
 
I looked at this post and it didn't work for me.
 
Trying to extract the time portion from a datetime field. ex  7:15:12 AM from    1/1/2008 7:15:12 aM
This is what I tried and neither functions give me the results I want....
 SELECT     DueTime, CONVERT(varchar, DueDate, 108) AS Expr1, SUBSTRING(CAST(DueDate AS varchar), 10, LEN(DueDate)) AS Expr2, CAST(DueDate AS varchar)                       AS Expr3FROM         TODO
Due Time                              Expr1                Expr2                         Expr3
1/1/2008 5:15:00 PM           00:00:00            12:00:00 AM              Jan 1 2008 12:00:00 AM
It seems Cast(DueDate as varchar) is the problem it converts the time to the default 12:00:00 AM
In the above example I want 5:15:00 PM
 
Tx in advance

SQL DateTime Field Query
I was wondering if someone could help me here with some reporting I'm trying to do. For website visits, I currently use getdate() to have SQL insert the date and time of the visit in the table. I was wondering, is there a way to grab just the month from the field? I would like to chart this and I need to group the visits by month. I'm not sure how I would go about filtering just the month out of the entire date and time fields.

Getting Just The Date Or From DateTime Field
Hi,
I have used smalldatetime datatype to store my date and time values. i want to store just the date or time but the problem is it stores both the date and time. For eg, if i add the the date 03/11/2004, it also the stores the current time automatically. so the new value will be something like 03/11/2004 10:00:00 AM where i want just 03/11/2004. further problem is even though i managed to store just the date like 03/11/2004 in the database, whole date and time shows up when i display it in my pages.

any help will be appreciated.

thanx,

Date From Datetime Field
Hi

What is the best practice to get the date from a smalldatetime field without the time.

The table contains 5 minute readings for energy consumption in the column period.

Now i need to get all the readings form some dates.

SELECT dbo.TBL_Data.*
FROM dbo.TBL_Data
WHERE (Period IN (CONVERT(DATETIME, '2003-12-31', 102), CONVERT(DATETIME, '2004-01-01', 102)))


this result contains only the readings for the timestamp 00:00

so how to select the whole day ?

kind regards

piet

Datetime Field Overflow
Using AccessXP as front-end to sql2000 backend. Have .net pages adding/updating/changing fine. But, on Access form when adding a new record, I get:

ODBC call failed. Microsoft ODBC SQL Driver. Fractional truncation (#0) DateTime field overflow (#0)

But, if I'm updating a record that's already been entered and just change
3/15/2006 06:30:00 pm to 3/15/2006 06:45:00 pm
there's no error.

Any Help?

Thanks,
Janet

Index On Datetime Field
I've got a table with the following fields and data types

ProjIDint
StatusDatedatetime
ProjStatusvarchar(1)

I want to put a unique index on the fields above, each ProjID can only have one ProjStatus on a given StatusDate (dd/mm/yyyy) , but because of the milliseconds in the date time it's not happening. Any suggestions on how I can get around this.

Thanks in advance.

Null Datetime Field
Hi, I am trying to load data into a smalldatetime field from a flatfile. The data that looks like this '20001201' I have no problem converting to a smalldatetime field. However, sometimes there is no date, the date looks like this '00000000'. When I try and convert this to a smalldatetime field I get an out of range error message. Is there any way to have a date field that looks like this 0000-00-00?

Datetime Field Conversion
Hello, I would appreciate any suggestions
I've got a datetime field that I'd like to store as just the date without the time component, but still to keep it defined as a datetime field. I ran this update statement but this conversion isn't working. Conversion to char gives me what I want but I need to keep the field as a date datatype if possible.
Thanks :)

update
<table>
set
<column>=convert(datetime,convert(char(10),hire_date,101)) )

INSERT INTO DateTime Field
Which of the following syntax's is correct to insert datetime data from a text file into a datetime (or smalldatetime) field(My_date) in SQL7?:

INSERT INTO tblDateTest (My_Date) VALUES('12/12/9998')
or
INSERT INTO tblDateTest (My_Date) VALUES(12/01/9998)
(results in 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000 being stored)

My question revolves around what impact the single quotes (or lack of) has on the command. Is it required? Does it tell SQL I'm inserting a string that has to be implicitly converted by SQL into datetime? I've visited Books Online and still a little foggy on this.

but is not correct - I get dates that look like this: /11/2002

Please help - there must be an easier way !!!

Datetime Field Format
Hi,

I have a table with datetime field in SQL server 7.0
I have inserted values into datetime field
for eg: '10/10/99'
'10/10/99 10:30 AM'
'11/10/99 11:50 PM'
When I view this table from enterprise manager, values are shown exactly
in the same format I have entered.
But, When I run the query from Query Analyzer, It always shows values in the following format '1999-10-10 00:00:00.000'

Is there a way that I can see the values in the same format I have entered.

Help !!!

Convert DateTime Field
Hi,

I'm not entirely sure that this is the correct forum for this question but it relates to my SSIS package.

I am currently implementing an SSIS package to replace an existing stored procedure which is getting very unmanageable. I have come across a part in the stored procedure which performs a convert(datetime, @Parameter3, 14) on a string of data. The string value of @Parameter3 is in the following format HH:mm:ss.

The problem i am having is how to implement similar functionality in a script task. everything i have tried involving the datetime object returns 1,1,0001, 00:00:00 or similar. It never seems to get the time so that it can be passed to a datetime field in the database.

Thanks in advance for any help that is provided.

Querying DateTime Field
Hi all,
 
1. I need to query a DateTime field, I'm using the following which works but I was just wondering if there is a faster or better way to query a DateTime field, omitting the Time part:

CAST(FLOOR(CAST(dbo.tblContactLog.DateCreated AS FLOAT)) AS DateTime) <=' + '''' + @EndDate + ''''
 
2. Also, I'm using  the getdate() function to insert the date the record was entered, this always puts in the Date and the Time, is there a way to just put in the Date part?
 
Thanks

Get Date Only From Datetime Field!
OK, I know this is really simple but I can't get my statement to pull just the date from a datetime field!

Here's my query:

select *
from tblPR
where date between convert(datetime, dateadd(day,-day(getdate())+1,getdate()),103)
and convert(datetime, dateadd(day,-day(getdate()),dateadd(month,1,getdate())),103)

I get no errors but I get the timestamp too and I only want the date.

Where am I going wrong?!

Thanks in advance,
Brett

Datetime Field - SQL's Problem Or C#?
Hello

I have a column called *dDateTime*
I insert data in to this column from my C# code.
For example I pass in the value: 2008/03/30 10:27:49.183

However, when I open the SQL Server table it will display the value as : 3/30/2008 10:27:49 AM

I’m using the convert.todatatime(X) in C# - and it looks like it changes the data to 3/30/2008 10:27:49 AM

SQL Server itself puts some kind of ms behind it – doesn’t seem to be related at all :S (but it doesn't use the ms in the uniqueness of the column, it stops at seconds)

Now here is the kicker.
The dDateTime is a unique field, thus when I insert another record with let’s say 2008/03/30 10:27:49.356 IT SHOULD BE OK!!!!!
HOWEVER, it will throw an error: Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'X'. – it ignores the milliseconds when enforcing the uniqueness.
Once the data hits the next second (2008/03/30 10:27:50.632), it will insert fine again, but will miss all data in between.

Is there a setup somewhere that I’m missing?

Thanks in advance!

Select All Dates From SQL Datetime Field
I have a form that's filtering search results and porting to a gridview. The drop down is selecting from the date column of SQL, but i want it the default value to show all dates in the gridview. In a normal string field, you can just use "%", but a datetime field won't take this. What can i use to show all dates?

Problem Querying On DateTime Field
Hello all,
 I am having an issue querying DateTime. The field I am querying on holds a full datetime stamp, such as "29/03/2008 13:30:00". I need to query the Date only, and return the results that match the specified date regardless of the time stamp.
So my query would look like this:-
SELECT * FROM table WHERE Date = '29/03/2008'
At the minute my code returns nothing. Is there way way to query the Date only ??
 
Thanks,Sean

SQL Datetime Field Type Command Help??
I am new to asp.net, C#, and sql server, coming from php and ODBC/Access background (trying to leave all that behind) Anyway, I have a textbox that will be used to INSERT a date into a SQL datetime field. The date coming from the textbox will be formatted like "MM/dd/yyyy". For my purposes the day, month, and year are all that I require, the time is irrelevant. Then from a different page in the site I will be using a variable containing the current date derived from "DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")" to select records with a matching date. Is there anyone that has an example showing both inserting into a datetime field and extracting records based off the date format that I have specified? Would it be better to use a different format? In the past I have stored dates as a julian in an int field type but I would rather learn to use the datetime field type in sql. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Inserting NULL Into Datetime Field
I have a datetime field in a database which I am programmatically inserting values into. The field can be null or not null. However, I am having problems inserting NULL as part of my SQLCommand.
The value is pulled from a text box (linked to a calendar extender) and when I select a value it is being inserted fine. If I just leave the box blank though, I want the field to be set to NULL. I have tried adding in ,DBNULL.Value, as part of my VALUES(…) string, but this throws an exception. I Have tried just inserting ‘’ but that also throws an exception (“The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime valueâ€?), so I don’t know how I can insert this value when the field is blank? 
Can anyone shed some light please? Thanks

Error Updating A DateTime Field
Hi, I'm having trouble updating a DateTime field in my SQL database.  Here is what I'm trying to do....I retrieve the existing value in the DateTime field (usually a bum date like 1/1/1900 00:00:00:00), then put it in a variable.  Later, depending on some conditions, I'll either update the DateTime field to today's date (which works great) or set it back equal to the existing value from the variable (this one messes up and says "SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM. ").  There is a ton more than this but here are the relevant snippets:<code>Dim CompDate As DateTimeDim aComm As SQLCommand Dim aReader As SQLDataReader Dim bSQL,bConn As String bSQL= "SELECT CompleteDate,StatusOfMarkout FROM Tickets WHERE TicketName=" _ & CHR(39) & Trim(Ticket.Text) & CHR(39) bConn = serverStuff aConn = New SQLConnection(bConn) aComm = New SQLCommand(bSQL,aConn) aConn.Open() result = aComm.ExecuteReader() 'fills controls with data While result.Read()    CompDate = result("CompleteDate")    PreviousMarkoutStatus.Text = result("StatusOfMarkout") End While result.Close() aConn.Close()sSqlCmd ="Update OneCallTickets CompleteDate=@CompleteDate, StatusOfMarkout=@StatusOfMarkout WHERE TicketFileName=@TicketFileName" dim SqlCon as New SqlConnection(serverStuff) dim SqlCmd as new SqlCommand(sSqlCmd, SqlCon) If Flag1List.SelectedItem.Value = "No Change" Then    SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Flag1", SqlDbType.NVarChar,35))    SqlCmd.Parameters("@Flag1").Value = PreviousMarkoutStatus.Text    SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@CompleteDate", SqlDbType.DateTime, 8))    SqlCmd.Parameters("@CompleteDate").Value = CompDateElse   SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Flag1", SqlDbType.NVarChar,35))    SqlCmd.Parameters("@Flag1").Value = CurrentStatus.Text    SqlCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@CompleteDate", SqlDbType.DateTime, 8))    SqlCmd.Parameters("@CompleteDate").Value = Today()End IfSqlCon.Open() SqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() SqlCon.Close()</code>Can anybody help me with this?  Thanks a bunch

Insert TIME Only In DateTime Field
I am doing a temporary retro-upgrade right now. So, I know this isn't exactly in the scope of ASP.Net. Ordinally my posts are. However, I need a VBScript example of how to insert the Date only into the DateTime field of an SQL 2000 Server. By default, if you try to, the server automatically adds the date "1/1/1900". Can anyone help me please?

Default Field Value For DateTime && SmallDateTime
In SQL Server 2000 / Asp.Net I am trying to use default values for all fields; hoping to eliminate nulls.

For number and character fields, the default is pretty obvious, but is there any empty value for a date field? I think a null there might be better than putting in a bogus date, at least it can be tested for.

Are there any more developend ideas on this question?

Many thanks

Automatic Updating Of Datetime Field
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?

Select Only Date From Datetime Field
I know there must be a way to do this....

I want to select only the date portion of a datetime field. the date normally shows as similar to '2004-01-01 09:39:52.000'

I need to return just '2004-01-01'. using convert and cast returns the dates as 'JAN 01 2004' - this won't sort correctly, so it is of no use. any suggestions?

thanks,
john
