I have 2 fields, one containing just the date and another containing the time. I want to combine them into a proper date/time format. No matter what I try, I lose 2 days in the process. Combining
2005-12-21 00:00:00.000
and
1899-12-30 14:30:00.000
will get me the 19th at 14:30. What am I missing here?
TIA
This is driving me nuts..
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.
Thanks
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.
Hi there, I'm trying to generate a report for an old database and I'mhaving trouble coming up with an elegant way of going about it. Usingcursors and other 'ugly' tools I could get the job done but 1) I don'twant the report to take ages to run, 2) I'm not a big fan of cursors!Basically there are tables that track history and each table tends totrack only a specific value housed within a date range. I'm trying tocombine the tables to get a snap-shot of the complete history. I'mhaving problems dealing with the Start/End Dates from the two tablesand building the dates in the final table to be broken down by 'historytype'.Here are a few sample records and the results I'm trying to achieve:Table 1:CAgyHist (ProdID,AgyID,StartDate,EndDate)1 1 Jan 1, 2006 Jan 5, 20061 2 Jan 5, 2006 Jan 25, 20061 1 Jan 25, 2006 NULLTable 2:CInvHist (ProdID, InvID,StartDate,EndDate)1 1 Jan 1, 2006 Jan 23, 20061 2 Jan 23, 2006 Jan 15, 20061 1 Jan 15, 2006 NULLDesired End Result:CTotalHist (ProdID,AgyID,InvID,StartDate,EndDate)1 1 1 Jan 1, 2006 Jan 5, 20061 2 1 Jan 5, 2006 Jan 15, 20061 2 2 Jan 15, 2006 Jan 23, 20061 2 1 Jan 23, 2006 Jan 25, 20061 1 1 Jan 25, 2006 NULLMy challenge thus far has been dealing with the dates as they don'tnecessarily correspond - from one table to the other.I am by no means a database expert of any level and any help would begreatly appreciated.Thanks,Frank.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two tables in a SQL db.
Each has 3 separate fields used to store a date info:
lastservicemonth tinyint1
lastserviceday tinyint1
lastserviceyear smallint2
(and these fields can be nulls)
I want to compare the date info in Table A vs. Table B and find the latest date between the two.
I know I somehow need to combine the 3 separate fields in each table to form one date field. Then I can compare the dates.
But ths far I have been unsuccessful.

In a stored procedure I have 2 dates that I need to combine parts of into a third date. I need the year from date1 and the month/day from date2.
Date1 = '2015/6/1'
Date2 = '2016/1/1'
Date3 needs to be '2015/1/1'
I have been messing around with datepart and dateadd with no luck.
My scenario is: a person has many events, all based on a date. I need to aggregate the person to show min and max dates for a period, the period being defined as ending when there is not an event following the next date.
DECLARE @Events TABLE
(
PK_EventINTIDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY

,EventDateDATENOT NULL
)
DECLARE @User TABLE

I would expect the groups to look something like below:
Is this where a recursive CTE may be used?
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
How can i do this?

I have the following
Column Name : [Converted Date]
Data Type : varchar(50)
When I try and do month around the [Converted Date] I get the following error message
“Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.”
My Query is
SELECT
month([Created Date])
FROM [FDMS_PartnerReporting].[Staging].[Salesforce_MarketingReporting]
SELECT * ,[Due]
FROM [Events]
Where Due >= getdate() +90
This returns the error: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string
Why would this be? How to cast or convert this so that it will work?
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?
Please advise. Thanks.
Best.

Dear Expert!
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.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

Hello,
we need to track date/time of last update for each record in a table.
As we understand it, we can't use field type Timestamp as this type does
not use dates/times.
Is there any SQL function available which we can bind to a column or
do we really have to use triggers?
Greetings from Mannheim, Germany

Hi
i have the following situation. in my database i have a datetime field (dd/mm/yy hh:mms) and i also have a field timezone.
the timezone field has values in minutes that i should add to my datetime field so i have the actual time.
afterwards i split the datetime into date and time.
the last part i can accomplish (CONVERT (varchar, datetime, 103) as DATEVALUE and CONVERT (varchar, DATETIME, 108) as TIMEVALUE).
could anybody tell me how i can add the timezone value (in minutes) to my datetime value ?
i do all the calculations in my datasource (sql).
Thanks

I want to display only the date part of a date field which contains both date & time information.
For example I have the value '2013-11-14 00:00:00.000' in my result set, and ideally I would like to show only '2013-11-14'.
I have looked up the datepart() command, however I can't work out how to return all parts of the date, rather than just the year, month, or day.
I have passed createdDate from UI to Stored procedure.createdDate field declared with DateTime.it is having value 2014-07-01.I need to fetch records from the database based upon the created field.but Create_TM in database having value Date with timestamp.so how would i change the createdfield in stored procedure.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[ByDateRange]
@Feed VARCHAR(50),
@CreatedDate DATETIME
select * from Date_table where Create_TM = @CreatedDate
I have a table named "shift" and I need to setup my query to return only data where the field "startime" = today. The problem I am running into is the starttime field it laid out like "2005-12-29 14:00:00" with different time values. I need to ruturn everything that has todays date regardless of the time value. I tried using GetDate() but that is returning data for other days as well or just data before or after the current time. Does anyone have any suggestions? This is driving me crazy! Thanks, Garrett
View 7 Replies View RelatedHello,
We have a bunch of Audit tables that contain almost exact copies of the operations tables. The audit tables also include:
AuditID - the audit action (insert, modify - old, modify - new, deleted)
AuditDate - date and time of action
AuditUser - User who did it...
At the end of the day I need to know for any given record what it looked like at the beginning of the day and what it looks like at the end of the day. There could have been numerous changes to the record throughout the day, those records I am not interested in. Only the first record and the last record of a give day.
I am going to be doing a lot of MIN(AuditDate) and MAX(AuditDATE) and .. WHERE AuditDate BETWEEN '10/1/2007 00:00:00' AND '10/1/2007 11:59:59' ...
Question: Whats better for performance:
1. Separating out the date and time and doing a clusterd index on the date.
2. Keeping date and time in the same column and just use a normal index.
3. Better ideas?
Thanks,
Bradley

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an SSIS package that moves data from SQL Server to an legacy Access database. In SQL Server, there is a date/time column that I need to split into a separate date column and time column in the access database. Initially I just created a derrived column for the time and set the expression equal to the source date/time column from SQL Server. Unfortunately, that just makes the date column and time column the same having the full date/time.
What expression can I use during a derrived column transformation to assign just the date to a derrived column and just the time to another derrived column?
Thanks,

I would like to know how to do a select on a datetime field that will return to me only the Date but not the time. Please help out. Thanks.
I ran through all the built in date functions and couldn't find anything for this task. I still can't fathom why there isn't a date function for this simple but a must have option.

Hi
I have created a simple SQL database with four columns using Microsoft SQL Server Mangement Studio Express - (Name(varchar), Email (varchar), Comment (varchar), Datetime). The idea is for this database to hold feedback and comments from my website by connecting a form view with insert capabilities to this database. How can I configure the Datetime column in the database to automaticaly input the time and date from when the user posted the comment?
Thanks
I am setting up an SQL database and I will need to get differences in dates. For example I have a start date, start time, completion date and completion time and I want to get the difference between the start and completion.
Would it be better to have one field with both date and time in it, or better to have a date field and a time field?
Even though I have already started setting up the tables with seperate fields for date and time I am now leaning toward one field with date/time in it. (Only because that is the way I had to do it when setting up an Excel spreadsheet for a similar task)
When that is decided could someone please point me to a good resource for explaining to me the iConvertible method. I tried a simple asp.net page to insert a record into the database and got an error method telling me I had to use the iConvertible method. (I am programming in C#). I use a textbox on a webform to input the date and time information and the SQL database fields are set up as date/time. I looked at the visual studio documentation but that doesn't help me much. It doesn't show me the syntax required and how to "use" the method.
Thanks
Does anyone know how to determine the next run date and time of a scheduled job while the job is running? I have found that using DMO or SPs to find this information while a job is running returns the time the job started. I am not sure but I believe that SQL Server calculates the next run time after the job has been completed if anyone knows to figure this out while a job is running I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
