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

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
Can I simply set the default value of a dateTime field with the date and time that the record was created?
We want to add a default date to our database tables. Looking at other database samples people use all sorts of dates to add as default date e.g. 1/1/1997 or the getdate() function.
Is it good practice to set a default date and what should the default date be????

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.

Hi,
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!

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
I have a table with the field end_date which is defined as a smalldatetime.
I have been unable to update this field using the SqlCommand object.
In my windows form I have a DateTime Picker and I am trying to get it's value into the db with no success.
I have tried
command.Parameters.Add ("@end_date",SqlDbType.DateTime);
command.Parameters["@end_date"].Value = dtpEndDate.Value;
I have also tried variations of
command.Parameters.AddWithValue ("@end_date",dtpEndDate.Value);
Please assist if you can.
I'm trying to extract the time part of a smalldatetime field in a usprocedure to return just the time. I've used Datepart() to get the hours or minutes but you can't get both without getting messy. Anyone know a way to keep it neat & simple?
Thanks, archie
Hello everyone,
I am using DTS to transform data from foxpro.when it meets the date of NULL,it fails and says"Insert Error , column 4( 'Coloumn_name ',DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), Status 6 data overflow ".
And then i try to open the DTS Transform Data task and do a preview of the data from the 'Source' side.The Null values are treated as "1899-12-30".
After reading something ,i try to write an ActiveX scripting Task to solve this problem using the function of "IsDate()",but it fails with exceptions.
Now I don't know what to do.could anyone give me some suggestion?Anything will be appreciated!ThankX in advance!
How does one update the time part of a smalldatetime field...?
2006-11-16 20:12:00 ---> 2006-11-16 16:30:00
2005-06-01 18:19:00 ---> 2005-06-01 16:30:00
I have tried using the datepart but I'm doing something incorrectly.
thanks,

I have a SmallDateTime data type field. The SmallDataTime contains day/month/year hour:minuteeconds AM/PM. What I wanted to do is create a store procedure that will only take the month of the field and compare that to my variable. So for example, I wanted to something like the following:
@month varchar(50) = "3"
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE monthField = @month
Any help is much appreciated.
Hello - I have a column in a table (SQL 2005 EE) with a Data Type of smalldatetime and a Default Value of getdate(). When I insert a record from my webpage the new record contains the correct date via getdate(). However if I update the record from my webpage the date of the record then becomes NULL. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do about this from sql server? I am inserting/updating via an formview and ODS, using standard insert/update methods.
Cheers

A newbie
I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE"Â .
How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?
I tried:
CONVERT(varchar(8),TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CONVERT(Date,TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)
**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.
What options do I have that will work?
DECLARE @datetimeoffset datetimeoffset(3)
DECLARE @datetime datetime
SELECT @datetimeoffset = '2012-11-08T17:22:13.575+00:00'
SELECT @datetime = @datetimeoffset
SELECT @datetimeoffset AS '@datetimeoffset ', @datetime AS 'datetime'
__________________________________________________ ___________
Result of above SQL is
@datetimeoffset datetime
2012-11-08 17:22:13.575 +00:002012-11-08 17:22:13.577
__________________________________________________ ____________
The result should be '2012-11-08 17:22:13.575', why the milliseconds value is incorrect
How could one assign a datetime default value in SQL Server 2005?
and how could one assign a composite key in SQL Server? an anyone help?
Hi All,
I need to create a new field on a table and have that field default to another field value in that same table. Is there a way to do this w/ a default constraint rather than adding a trigger to the table? If i can't use a default constraint does anyone have a template trigger i could use? Below is an example of what i'm trying to do (Field_C is the new field and i want it to use Field_A value if no other value is specified on insert). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
alter table FOO add Field_C varchar(50) not null constraint FOO_default DEFAULT Field_A
thanks,

I am trying to set the default date in my datetime parameter to yesterday's date, so the user does not have to select using the datepicker calendar. I am using Visual Studio 2005.
I put the following code into the Report Parameters non-queried default values function line, but it adds the timestamp to the date.
=DateAdd(€?d€?, -(WeekDay(Now()))+1, Now())
How can I get yesterday's date to default but without the timestamp?

I have a visible DateTime parameter on the Report that I would like to make optional.
When I open up the report and try to run it without specifying the date I get a validation error that parameter is required. If I set default value to null - it works, but I have to check for both '' and NULL in my query:
StartDateTime >= @StartDate OR @StartDate='' OR @StartDate IS NULL
I tried setting default parameter using expression
=''
but I get an error that
'Default Value' of parameter 'StartDate' doesn't have expected time.
So the question is can I set DateTime parameters' default value to blank?
