Hello all. I was just wondering how I could add the current date and time to the name of the .bak file. I perform a full backup daily and would like to keep a weeks worth of backups, but everytime I run the job, it just overites the previous one.
The command in the wizzard is:
BACKUP DATABASE [snl] TO DISK = N'C:Backups_for_FTPSNL_Full.bak' WITH NOINIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'snl backup', SKIP , STATS = 10, DESCRIPTION = N'SNL Backup', NOFORMAT
The sp "up_GetConfigurableDayInterval", will return number of days to add the the current date time. But print getdate() + @Id , is not producing the updated result.But when ever i have replaced the variable "@Id" with a value, Say "5", it is producing the expected result.I have also tested the above code by the following:-
create table Temp(value datetime); insert into Temp values(getdate() + @Id); select * from Temp
What is the syntax for adding a column where you are adding a year to a date in a date format? For example adding a column displaying a year after the participation date in date format?
here is our backup command and i like to add date in the backup file name. So daily it add date to the backup file name. Can any one let me know how I can do that.
C:BAKacct_backup_%date .bak
BACKUP DATABASE [acct] TO DISK =
N'C:BAKacct_backup.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'acct-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 GO
We have an application group that wants to pull date from SQL Server and write it to text file on the server. They want the file format to be 12100_YYYMMDDHHMM.fr1 for one set of data, 12100_YYYMMDDHHMM.fr2 for a second set...and so on. The '12100' is fixed, but the rest of the file name will always have to include the system date/time. Is there an easy way to do this within a DTS package (when writing to the output file)? I would really appreciate help on this. Thank you.
I am trying to move a flat file to an archive folder and then rename the file to include the date and time of runtime.
I have set up a File System Task to move the file which works fine and a second File System Task to rename. The IsDestinationPathVariable is set to TRUE and the DestinationVariable is called User::Error_Log_File_Rename. There is an expression as follows:
If I go into the expression and evaluate it it will give me the current date and time. However when I run it as part of the package say 10 minutes later the file is renamed using the same date and time from 10 minutes before when I evaluated the expression. If I wait another 10 minutes and run the package again it still retains the original date and time.
Is there a way to get the expression evaluated with the current date and time during execution of the package?
I have two columns in a table:StartDate DateTime and StartTime DateTime.The StartDate column holds a value such as 07/16/2004The StartTime column holds a value such as 3:00:00 PMI want to be able to add them in a stored procedure.When I use StartDate + StartTime I get a date two days earlier than expected.For example, instead of 7/16/2004 3:00:00 PM StartDate + StartTime returns7/14/2004 3:00:00 PM.Can anyone point out wht I'm doing wrong with this one?Thanks,lq
I need to have a script that will restore the backup file in a folder but the backup file will have the date appended to it and I won't know what that date is.
I would like to know as to how can I put a Current Date & Time stamp on a FILE NAME automatically which is created by a DTS package.
E.g. I create a file named ABC.TXT daily. How do I get this file to have the current Date stamp so that the file name is ABC121201.TXT without any user intervention.
We are using an ADO.NET provider in SSIS to read data from a SQL Server 2000 table that contains DateTime columns to write to a Flat File Destination. When the date values are written to the file they are formatted in TimeStamp to the 10th decimal position; e.g.2006-04-24 12:00:00.123000000?. Since SQL Server supports values to Timestamp(3), we need to truncate the last seven zeros to put the data in this format 2006-04-24 12:00:00.123? to keep the file as small as possible.
Since we have several hundred DateTime columns in scope for our requirements we are looking for the least logic/effort to accomplish this task. We can do this via Data Conversion and Derived Column transformations to cast the dates and strings but it is very labor intensive. It would be something like singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall eight times in a row with each verse taking 3 minutes each. Yikes.
We have tried casting the DateTime columns to varchar in the SELECT statement but receive this format Apr 24 2006 12:22PM?.
Is there a configuration we've missed that forces timestamp(10) with non significant digits?
I'm trying to extract some data from a table in oracle. The oracle table stores date and time seperately in 2 different columns. I need to merge these two columns and import to sql server database.
I'm struggling with this for a quite a while and I'm not able to get it working.
I tried the oracle query something like this,
SELECT (TO_CHAR(ASOFDATE,'YYYYMMDD')||' '||TO_CHAR(ASOFTIME,'HH24:MM : SS')||':000') AS ASOFDATE
FROM TBLA
this gives me an output of 20070511 23:06:30:000
the space in MM : SS is intentional here, since without that space it appread as smiley
I'm trying to map this to datetime field in sql server 2005. It keeps failing with this error
The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data
I'm struck with error for hours now. Any pointers would be helpful.
I'm looking for a way of taking a query which returns a set of date time fields (probable maximum of 20 rows) and looping through each value to see if it exists in a separate table.
E.g.
Query 1
Select ID, Person, ProposedEvent, DayField, TimeField from MyOptions where person = 'me'
Table
Select Person, ExistingEvent, DayField, TimeField from MyTimetable where person ='me'
Loop through Query 1 and if it finds ANY matching Dayfield AND Timefield in Query/Table 2, return the ProposedEvent (just as a message, the loop could stop there), if no match a message saying all is fine can proceed to process form blah blah.
I'm essentially wanting somebody to select a bunch of events in a form, query 1 then finds all the days and times those events happen and check that none of them exist in the MyTimetable table.
I am reading about the RESTORE command to a point in time using logs, I would like to know the minimum point in time recovery for a backup image using T-SQL command before applying a log restore and what are the log ranges needed for the restore during restore.
I am trying to load previous days data at 3 am via a SSIS job.
The Date variable is initiated as DATEADD("dd",-1, GETDATE()) in the for loop.
Now, as this job runs at 3 am, and I set the variable as GETDATE() - 1, it excluded the data from 12 am to 3 am in the resultset as Date is set as YYYY-MM-DD 03:00:00:000 I need this to be set as YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00:000
Hi, i am trying to add milliseconds to a time. For example if i have a time of 01:01:05:000 and i want to add 0.297 milliseconds to it i use the following simplified query
SELECT CONVERT(nvarchar(20), DATEADD(ms, 0.297, '00:01:05:000'), 14) AS Expr1
However instead of getting 01:01:05:0.297 i get 01:01:05:000. Can somebody please tell me what i am doing wrong.

Hi there. I'm trying to extract data from my SQL server & everything in the script I've got is working (extracting correct data) except for one field - which is for the most part it's off by +2 days (on a few occasions - I see it off by just +1 day or even +3, but it's usually the +2 days).
I'm told that it's due to the conversion formula - but - since SQL is not my native language, I'm at a bit of a loss.
The DB table has the date field stored as a type: CHAR (as opposed to 'DATE') Can anyone out there help?
A server with SQL 2005 sp2, Reporting Services and Sharepoint services (ver 3.0) (in integrated mode) gives an odd error. When viewing a Reporting Services report with a Date Time Picker, the date chosen is wrong. The preferred setting is Danish with the date format dd-mm-yyyy. The date picker shows the months in Danish but when selecting a date, and clicking on the Apply-button, the date reformats to US (mm-dd-yyyy).
Example: When choosing 5th of September 2007 and clicking apply, it shows in the picker, 9th of May 2007. When choosing 26th of September 2007 and clicking apply, it shows, again in US format, the RIGHT date but adds a timestamp 12:00 AM? in the end, making further enquiries to fail.
The report itself receives the right date and shows correctly. The only case it fails is, when the time stamp appears.
The server is a 32-bit one with 4 GB RAM. A testserver with identical collation on the Reportserver database cannot recreate the error. The site containing the reports has been set to Danish in the regional settings. To Reinstall is not an option.
The test report has no database connection whatsoever.
When setting the site to US, the timestamp wont appear at all.
The server has been restarted and the installation procedure was of the simple kind. No special tweaks at all.
I have a shopping cart that will get full from time to time becausecustomers click out of the site before they confirm their purchase,therefore leaving a full cart behind. I'd like to have a timestamp onthis table, so that I can delete anything that I find is more than a dayold.How can I do this?Thanks,Bill*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
Hi all,I'm writing a website with Cold Fusion and when a user submits arequest and it's stored in the MS SQL database, I want the unique ID(Identity field in table) to be given to the user on screen plusemailed to user.Now can I store data to the database (where the ID is created) andreturn this as a variable in the same statement? I've seen this doneon many websites, but I have no idea how to do it in one step.Thanks,Alex.
I know that I can add a column to a mining structure and/or model more than once using XMLA. However, I am having a problem doing the same using DMX. I now that DMX does not support data binding and that it relies on the INSERT INTO... construct to essentially map the structure columns to the incoming comluns from the data source. I tried to use "AS" like I would in SQL but it doesn't seem to like it.
Can anyone confirm that this can only be done using XMLA and not DMX? If I am mistaken, it would be greatly appreciated if you could provide an example on how to do this using DMX.
For background on why I would want to add the same column to a model more than once please read this post.
