I am trying to import a txt file that has a string for it's date. How do I change it over in the import wizard I've tried going to advance then changing from string to date or date time but I get an error.
The source is a flat file with a column where dates are stored as: 07/12/2006 11:35am. In some cases the column is blank.
I need to import this into a table with a datetime column. In the data flow task, I get the error that conversion b/w String and DB_Timestamp is not allowed. First question is why does SSIS think its a DB_Timestamp column? Shouldnt it be DB_Date or DB_Time. Anyway, when I add a Data Conversion Task in the Data Flow, and cast to the source column to either DB_TimeStamp, DB_Date or DB_Time I get an error.
I am populating oracle source in Sql Server Destination. after few rows it fails it displays this error:
[OLE DB Destination [16]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Invalid date format".
I used this script component using the following code in between the adapters, However after 9,500 rows it failed again giving the same above error:
To convert Oracle timestamp to Sql Server timestamp
If Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST_IsNull = False Then
If IsDate(DateSerial(Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Year, Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Month, Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST.Day)) Then
dt = Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUST
Row.CALCULATEDETADATECUSTD = dt
End If
End If
I don't know if my code is right . Please inform, how i can achieve this.
Hi, I have a function that generates a range of DateTimes, which I then cast to SqlDateTime to compare with SqlDateTime values in a database. The problem is my converted DateTimes come out in this type of format "6/2/2006 12:00:00 AM" wheras my SqlDateTimes in the database are in this format "2006-01-18T00:00:00.0000000-12:00" Any ideas how I can convert the DateTime values to SqlDateTime correctly so that I can compare them? As I said I tried creating a new SqlDateTime object with the DateTime value ie DateTime dt = new DateTime(""); SqlDateTime sdt = new SqlDateTime(dt); But that doesn't work correctly, its still not in the format that is in the database.
I need help with conversion type. I'm using Visual Basic 6.0 as my frontend and SQL Server 2000 as my backend. There has been existing data in the database. I would like to know how to convert an integer to datetime format. For example:
This is the actual value from the database.
1087912290 1087912327
I'd like to know how to convert it datetime format.
I have a datetime field in my table. I call that field with a different software & it comes out in an unexpected format.
My db table stores it in unix format: 2013-08-12 09:29:00.000
But the software pulls it as: 8/12/2013 9:29:00 AM
I know it's possible, but I don't know how. How do I explicitly call it (in SQL) as a unix timestamp. Or how do I convert to a unix timestamp from the available data above?
I have a column date in my database which I should send it to Oracle database. The Date format in Oracle is number. I don’t know how should I convert the date to that format? Example : SQL FormatOracle Format 02/16/05 105046
SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN [PO Date] BETWEEN CONVERT(Datetime, @FY + '/04/01') AND CONVERT(Datetime, @FY -1 + '/03/31') THEN Quantity ELSE 0 END) AS Expr1, [Item No_] FROM table A
I have a dropdown list thats boudn to a SqlDataSource. The DataSource looks like this: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="dsProgramList" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:csData %>" SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT [Program_Name] +','+ [Begin_Date] AS NAMEandDATE, [Course_ID], [LOC] FROM [ThisTable] WHERE ([LOC] = @LOC)"> <SelectParameters>
Where the dropdownlists text = NAMEandDATE and its value = Course_ID When I select the LOC from the LOCdropdownlist, the dropdownlist in question updates, and an error "Erro converting datetime from character string" happens? Any suggestions?

However I am having trouble getting the Date to work as part of my SQL String. I keep getting the following error:

So, i am building a string using datepart and then adding the time at the end. The 120 after the final comma is to define the style (as i am sure you will all know anyway).
When i run this i get the following error:
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 35 Syntax error converting the varchar value ' 16:30:00' to a column of data type int.
If i take out the colons it runs but brings back the wrong date, the whole date seems to be dependant on the time part at the end.
I am sure this is a really simple problem and i am sorry if i am wasting you time but its late and i just cant see it. Any help would be fantastic.
Can anyone tell me what this error message means and how I can correct it on my statement: Code:
Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
Here's my query statement: Code:
SELECT animalid AS "Animal ID", name AS "Name", categoryid AS "Category ID", DATENAME(MONTH, dateBorn) + ' ' + DATENAME(DAY, dateBorn) + ', ' + DATENAME(YEAR, dateBorn) AS "Date of Birth"FROM animalWHERE categoryid = 'Cat' AND dateBorn = 'May%'
I know it has something to do with: dateBorn = 'May%' because when I took out Quote: AND dateBorn = 'May%' I get results, but I need to narrow it down to list the cats born in May.
I am trying to select all members from a SQL db who have a renewal date btw to dates inputted into two text fields, but I am now getting the error above. This is where the problem is coming in...

New to the forums here. I'm not a beginner with SQL, but nor am I a SQL developer - network engineer who knows some scripting and the fundamentals of DB design/administration. There's the background.
I have a database of client information where a date is keyed in and stored as text. Because this is entered by end-users, the way it's entered varies - 1/1/2001, 01/01/2001, etc. Most use "1/1/2001" (note the date is not the same for each record)
I have 4,000 records to update and I need to try to convert the text string to the correct date - changing 1/1/2005 to the same date in proper date/time format. My database uses datetime as an integer calculating the number of days from 12/30/1800. Today's date would be 75508. Time is separated into different fields.
I can do the work to update the text to a single format to make the conversion easier, but I am having trouble locating the proper way to write a convert function to do this. I've searched online (which is how I came here) and have searched the forums without luck.
Hello Everyone, Please guide me in converting the value to date format. from source i'm getting the value (which is acchally a data value) '20070730'. I need this value to be in date format '2007/07/30' Please help me in getting it done. thank you
I am importing a couple SAS datasets to SQL Server 2008 for a project. The dates are in a float format, they show up as DT_R8 in SSIS. How can I convert these values to SQL server datetime? I have tried dozens of methods I found on-line with no success, I keep getting 'Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.' errors.
I have a stored procedure called from ASP code, and when it is executed, the stored procedure takes in a date as an attribute.
But since the stored procedure call is really just a string in the code, it is taking in the value as a string. So in my stored procedure, I want to convert a string value to a date value.
I am trying to create a stored procedure that Pulls in Chargeable and Non Chargeable hours for our employees however When I run the Stored Procedure I get this error "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string."

Also I would like to be able to Add a parameter that would be the StartDate and EndDate for which the stored procedure would pull time for.

I am inserting date and time data into a SQL Server 2012 Express table from an application. The application is providing the date and time as a string data type. Is there a TSQL way to convert the date and time string to an SQL datetime date type? I want to do the conversion, because SQL displays an error due to the

I am trying to write a SP in Query Analyzer before I start the code from a web form to acces it. Here is the SQL: ------------------------------------------- DECLARE @cReportGroups Varchar(500)DECLARE @StartDateRange DateTime DECLARE @EndDateRange DateTime SET @cReportGroups = '''VCCEddieBauer'',''VCCEddieBauerDirect'', ''VCCEddieBauerOrder'', ''VCCEddieBauerOvernight'', ''VCCEddieBauerSpanish'', ''VCCEddieBauerCustomerService''' SET @StartDateRange = '09-16-2007' SET @EndDateRange = '01-31-2008' BEGIN Declare @sql As Varchar(800) Set @sql = 'SELECT ttalkacd, cName, dIntervalStart, cReportGroup' + ' FROM IAgentQueueStats ' +' WHERE dIntervalStart >= ' + @StartDateRange ---- ' AND dIntervalStart <= ' + EndDateRange + ---- ' AND cReportGroup IN (' + @cReportGroups + ')' + ---- ' AND cHKey3 = ''*''' + -- ' ORDER BY dIntervalStart' --+ ---- ' COMPUTE SUM(ttalkacd)' --Print(@sql) exec (@sql) END ----------------------------------------------- Just trying to get the first >= filter working before I fill in the >= working to complete the date range logic.

Why does SQL think that anything is a character string?All dates are declared as DateTime.I have tried a bunch of combinations like Convert(DateTime, @StartDateRange, 101).Nothing seems to work.
Here's the deal. I'm a newbie trying to update a date (@Effective) in sql server. I've been trying all sorts of things, but nothing seems to work. Here's my current code:

Hi all, The last week this was working, and today i was testing and all start with errors. This is my SQL sentence:command = New SqlCommand("update ctlg_users set u_last_access = '" & FormatDateTime(Now(), 1) & "' where u_id = " & cstr(l_u_id),oConn)Is there an error? why was before working and now don`t?, including an old ASP page that i´m still using fall back to the same error when is using FormatDateTime, í´ve tried in the ASPX page using datetime.now.tostring("dd/mm/yyyy") but i got an error too!! HEEEELP!Thanks :D
I'm having a strange problem with the following stored proc:
Code:
sql
declare @orderBy tinyint
set @orderBy = 2
SELECT tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered, count(movieSessionID) As sessionsCount FROM tblUsers LEFT JOIN tblMovieSessions on tblUsers.userID = tblmovieSessions.userID Group By tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered Order By Case WHEN @orderBy = 2 THEN firstName WHEN @orderBy = 3 THEN dateRegistered WHEN @orderBy = 4 THEN count(movieSessionID) else lastName End desc
When I execute it with @orderBy = 1 or 2 I get the following error message: Quote: Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 5 Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
However, with @orderBy = 3 or 4 it executes successfully.
I don't understand why this change should have this impact because the error seems to be occuring on the first line (i.e. SELECT...).
If I take the dateRegistered column out of the query I get a new error message:
Quote: Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 5 Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'Adam' to a column of data type int.
I don't understand why it is trying to convert these columns during the query anyway, let alone how to solve the problem.
I am using INSERT to replace about 160 fields for one company in the company table, all goes well until I come to the Rn_edit_date field which is a datetime datatype. When I insert the value of:
cast('2005-03-15 09:25:44.463' as datetime)
Error message as a result is: Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
NOTE: 2005-03-15 09:25:44.463 is the correct format which all other companies abide by, so I'm totally lost at where I'm going wrong?
