I have a table of zip codes, some with Canadian zips. I'd like to takea zip code and search for nearby zips. For example:Dim theZip As Integer = textbox1.text....Parameter.Add(@ziplow, SqlDbType.Int, 5).Value = (theZip - 10)....Parameter.Add(@ziphigh, SqlDbType.Int, 5).Value = (theZip + 10)SELECT * from ZIPCODES where Cast(zip_code as Integer) BETWEEN @lowzipAND @highzipProblem is the letters in the Canadian records cannot be cast asintegers for this process. I get this error:Syntax error converting the varchar value '53151 1' to a column of datatype int.Is there a SQL query that can exclude if no cast can be made to anInteger?Thanks!Anton
I need to convert a date like 08/1/2009 to 0809 I also need to show currency as 100.00 and not 100.0000 How can I do these in a select statement? SELECT CONVERT(Varchar(20),ExpirationDate,10) AS ExpirationDate, Amount FROM tblPayment I appreciate any help!
Hi I have a query that a user runs and it includes this part.
CAST(CASE WHEN GetDate() > DateAdd(d, 13, DDOfferLetter.[PrintedOn]) AND GetDate() < DateAdd(d, 21, DDOfferLetter.[PrintedOn])AND A.DecisionID IS NULL AND A.OfferId = 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS BIT) AS RequireASecondOfferLetter
The problem im having is that i get diffeent answers depending on what time of day the query is run. This is because the GetDate() and the DDOfferLetter.[PrintedON] include the time as well as the date. I've tried CONVERT and fiddled around with it for 4 hours now.
Can someone give me some guidance please? Thanks Dan
In search of SQL to obtain "yesterday's" begin/end times for a batch process:
GETDATE() needs to be converted to Yesterdays FIRST and LAST second: ------- -------------------------------- 2001-06-25 14:23:56.054 ---> 2001-06-24 00:00:00.001 (1st sec. of yesterday) 2001-06-25 14:23:56.054 ---> 2001-06-24 23:59:59.999 (last sec. of yesterday)
Will CAST and/or CONVERT fucntions assist? The follwoing SQL returns GETDATE()-1 (yesterday along w/ a time) I need the time converted to 1st and last second...
,convert(varchar,getdate(),101) as [CONFIRMATION_DATE!1!REPORT_DATE] The above displays as 8/26/2006, anyway you can convert that to a long format in the SP? I.E. August 26, 2006 Thanks.

i want to use the date part of the function getdate in my sql query. the getdate function return the current date and time. i want only the date part. how can i do it.
Hi. I have a stored procedure that looks for events on the current date. I tried using GETDATE() but i realized that is looking for the current date AND time. how can i use this to find only the current date? thanks a bunch for your help!
When I wrote "select getdate() " at SQL Query then result appear : 31 Desember 2001
But my server date/time setting at control panel is 18 pebruary 2002.
If I restart that SQL Database than select getdate() is the same with Server date/time.
Why select getdate() at sql server is different with server date/time at control panel ? is there any way to solve this problem without restart that database ?
I'm new to T-SQL and trying out my queries using the SQL Query Analyzer.
What I intend to do is to retrieve records based on current date. The field is Trans_R.Tr_Date, of type nvarchar(255) and the data inside the field is formatted as yyyymmdd.
My Q's are:
1. Where should I put the WHERE statement at?
2. Is there any other way to work around this problem without resorting to converting the Trans_R.Tr_Date field to Datetime datatype beforehand?
3. I tried using Getdate function as part of the WHERE statement but nothing comes out. Would this WHERE statement work (or make sense)?
WHERE Trans_R.Tr_date = getdate()
Please advise and thanks in advance.
------------- START OF CODE -------------
SELECT Cards.card_number,Trans_R.Tr_Date,Trans_R.staff_nu mber, MIN(Trans_R.Tr_In) AS Actual_Time_In, MAX(Trans_R.Tr_Out) AS Actual_Time_Out,
'Status'= CASE WHEN MIN(Trans_R.Tr_In) IS NULL THEN 'ABSENT' WHEN MIN(Trans_R.Tr_In) < 171500 THEN 'ATTEND' ELSE 'ABSENT' END,
'Late Time' = CASE WHEN (MIN(Tr_In) - 080000> 0) THEN (MIN(Tr_In) - 080000) ELSE '' END,
FROM Trans_R INNER JOIN Cards ON Trans_R.Staff_Number = Cards.Staff_Number GROUP BY Cards.card_number,trans_r.staff_Number,Trans_R.Tr_ Date
SELECT Payment_Date FROM dbo.tbl_PaymentDt WHERE Payment_Date BETWEEN '08/06/2002' AND '08/07/2002'
In the table, Payment_Date is stored as default value getdate(). The above query results in the records for '08/06/2002' only, even if the records are present for '08/07/2002'. This problem is probably due to the format in which date is stored. Here date is stored along with time.
Pl tell me the work around so that when dates are compared, time is ignored.
Pl tell me a function available in SQl which only give date minus time from a field stored as GetDate().
I tried to find it on the Internet, but was unsuccessful. If someone can help me with a select statement that will return JUST the current month and year or day and month. I would really appreciate it.
I am trying to run this statement Select Calims, ProCode From Inquiry Where ProCode Between 80000 and 89999
ProCode is a varchar but I am still checking a range on it. It seem to work fine but then there is some invalid data entry in this column for example 'abace' or '100i' so I get the error. 1) how I can exclude them out of my query. Someone suggested the following but I dont understand how do achieve that. thanks
" However, there would appear to be different data types. If Value is a character --based type then you may want to limit the search by first extracting numeric values -- with something like ISNUMERIC(Value) = 1 and then converting them to numerics using --the convert function - CONVERT(int, Value) BETWEEN 10000 and 20000."
