I am placing DateTime into SQL using an ASP.NET form. The date should be formatted dd/mm/yyyy hh/mm/ss.
I am getting the error below. Is there any way to convert the format of the DateTime function from the ASP.NET end?
Thanks

"The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value"
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Express 2005. The database was converted from MS Access 2003 to SQL Express by using the upsize wizard.
I would like to store the current date & time in a column in a table. This column is a smalldatetime column called 'lastlogin'.
The code I'm using is:
Dim sqlcommand As New SqlCommand _
("UPDATE tableXYZ SET Loggedin = 'True', LastLogin = GetDate() WHERE employeeID = '" & intEmployeeID.ToString & "'", conn)
Try
conn.Open()
sqlcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
This code works fine on my local machine and local SQL server. However at the client side this code results in the error as mentioned in the subject of this thread. I first used 'datetime.now' instead of 'getdate()', but that caused the same error. Then I changed the code to 'getdate()', but the error still remains.
The server at the client is running Windows Server 2000 UK . My local machiine is running WIndows XP Dutch.
Maybe the conversion from Dutch to UK has something to do with it. But this should be solved by using the 'Getdate()' function..... ?

Hi, I'm making a webapplication in C# with MSSQL as database.
I've created a form to do an advanced search on books. The user can type in name, author, .... and he can also mark 2 dates from to Calendar objects (I made sure date one can not be bigger than date 2). I'm using smalldatetime as DBtype. The 2 selected values are DateTime in asp. The results are shown in a gridview. Since I added the feature I keep getting the same error and I can't find where it is. Here's some code:
1 public List GetBooks2(string invB,string titelB, string auteursB, string taalB, string uitgeverijB, string jaarB, string keywordsB, string categorieB, string standplaatsB, string ISBN,DateTime datum1, DateTime datum2, string sortExpression)
2 { //this is my method for the advanced search
3 using (SqlConnection oConn = new SqlConnection(_connectionString))
4 {
5 string strSql = "select * FROM Boek where 1 = 1";
6 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(invB)) strSql += " and (inventaris_nr like @invB)";
7 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(titelB)) strSql += " and (titel like @titelB)";
8 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(auteursB)) strSql += " and (auteurs like @auteursB)";
9 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(uitgeverijB)) strSql += " and (uitgeverij like @uitgeverijB)";
10 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(ISBN)) strSql += " and (ISBN10 like @ISBN or ISBN13 like @ISBN)";
11 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(standplaatsB)) strSql += " and (standplaats like @standplaatsB)";
12 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(jaarB)) strSql += " and (jaartal like @jaarB)";
13 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(keywordsB)) strSql += " and (keywords like @keywordsB)";
14 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(taalB))
15 if (taalB == "Andere")
16 strSql += " and (taal NOT IN ('nederlands', 'frans', 'engels', 'spaans', 'italiaans', 'duits'))";
17 if (taalB == "--Geen voorkeur--")
18 strSql += "";
19 else
20 strSql += " and (taal like @taalB)";
21
22 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(categorieB))
23 if (categorieB == "--Selecteer een categorie--")

27
28 if (datum1 == null)
29 strSql += "";
30 else
31 if (datum2 != null)
32 {
33
34 strSql+=" and datumB between @datum1 and @datum2";
35 }
36 else strSql+="";
37 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(sortBLOCKED EXPRESSION
38 strSql += " order by " + sortExpression;
39 else
40 strSql += " order by id";

42 SqlCommand oCmd = new SqlCommand(strSql, oConn);
43 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@invB", "%" + invB + "%"));
44 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@titelB", "%" + titelB + "%"));
45 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@auteursB", "%" + auteursB + "%"));

58 SqlDataReader oReader = oCmd.ExecuteReader();
59 List boeken = GetBoekCollectionFromReader(oReader);
60 oReader.Close();
61 return boeken;
62 }
63 }
I think that that method is correct, not sure though... The code for GetBoekCollectionFromReader(oReader) is this=1 protected List GetBoekCollectionFromReader(IDataReader oReader)
2 {
3 List boeken= new List();
4 while (oReader.Read()) //THIS IS WHERE THE ERROR APPEARS
5 {
6 boeken.Add(GetBoekFromReader(oReader));
7
8 }
9 return boeken;
10 }
That's the method where the error appears... Where should I place a breakpoint to get the exact location? To make sure all methods in this code are explained, here's the code for GetBoekFromReader(oReader))= 1 protected Boek GetBoekFromReader(IDataRecord oReader)
2 {
3 Boek boek = new Boek();
4 boek.idB= (int)oReader["id"];//id auto generated dus verplicht

Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.
That's the error I get by the way. It also appears when I do a search and I don't use the date function... for example when I only fill in the title textbox and I don't select any dates from the calendars...
Sorry for the long post, but I think it's the only way to get a clear view on it...
I need to convert a datetime field to smalldatetime.
This particular field we only care about the time portion (an example would be '1899-12-30 13:15:00.000')
For now I created another field say 'newTime' that is smalldatetime, in which I want to "update" to the smalldatetime version of the data. I know this will truncate the ms, but I don't care about that. Also the min date that can be used with smalldatetime is Jan 1 1900.
Not sure how to go about doing this.
Hi guys!
I need to convert datetime data type to smalldatetime on production
server with hundreds transactions per minute. In this case do I need to restrict users access to the table or put table in the single user mode?
Or it doesn't have any impact on productivity and I just can open Design table window in SQL Enterprise Manager and edit it?
Thank you in advance,
Igor
I am looking for just the date element of a datetime/smalldatetime col. For example the rows appear in typical datetime/smalldatetime format as:
1999-11-30 07:53:00
I need just "1999-11-30". So how do I strip off the time element? Datepart doesn't seem to be the route to take. I also need to use the date with Datediff so by stripping off the time element, I still need to keep the date element as a date datatype.
Thank you,

I just imported an Access database into SQL Server. The database is the 2005-2006 NFL schedule. there are 2 smalldatetime columns, one of which is the date of the games, the other has the times. In order to get the table to import (without just stopping with an error) I had to change the smalldatetime setting on the SQL Server table to Varchar. The error I was recieving was "blahblahblah DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Dataoverflow. ... Invalid character value for cast specification" . Google has explained that this is due to the dates being outside of the acceptable range. An example of a date in the date column is "9/11/2005". An example of a time in the time column is "1:00:00 PM". These seem perfectly acceptable to my untrained eye, and they do indeed work in the Access version of the database.Now for the questions:What do I have to do to these dates to make them acceptable to the smalldatetime setting? Can I just run a query that smushes the two columns together into a valid datetime? I need to have them as valid dates in order to perform checks when people submit their picks (you can't make picks after the game has started). Is there any real reason why SQL Server would not have accepted them as they existed in the Access database? How lenient are the datetime and smalldatetime datatypes?I realize that in the time it took me to type out this post I could have just manually re-entered them all into one new datetime column, but I would like to know why this isn't working. I hope my post isn't too jumbly. Any help is appreciated.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
Sorry if this is really dumb; I'm a database newbie. Suppose I want to insert a .NET System.DateTime object into a SQL Server smalldatetime field using a string representation of the INSERT statement. How do I extract an appropriate string representation of the DateTime object to stuff into my INSERT string? Also, as a follow on, is there a better way to do this, say with LINQ?
Thanks!

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

I am running the following query:
select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead order by hqvend,fprod
The bold sections are giving me the error message. The query works as written above, butis only evaluating on one date, contained in hqeff. However, when I try to modify the second date, HQDIS, by casting it the same way as the one before it:
select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and cast(cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead order by hqvend,fprod
I get the error message. I need to select based on both dates (hqeff AND HQDIS), but cannot seem to be able to it.... Both fields are of type Dedimal, with a length of 8, and dates stored in them look like: 20071003 (YYYYMMDD).
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I need to convert all datetime columns to smalldatetime in the whole database. I really don't want to do it by hand and It would probably take me a whole day to figure out how to write such a procedure. If someone could help me out that would be great.
My database is divided into schemas just like AdventureWorks.
Also, no need to worry about date conversion, value could be set to current date.
Thanks
Hello boyz and girlz,

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 :)

Hi,
Ive imported a data set into SQL. Now on redefining a text field to datetime, most dates that are filled come through okay.
The issue is that there are some empty fields which I'd like for it to stay empty after conversion. Now what happens is that the empty field becomes '01/01/1900' - which is throwing off our queries as we need it to be compared to other date fields.
Is there a way to keep it empty even after the datatype is changed to datetime?
Thanks a bunch!
