Hi: I have a column call Date_Sent (28/02/2004)(dd/mm/yyyy) format as varchar at beginning. I want to convert to other column as datetime.

hi, How do i convert a varchar field into the datetime data type? the reason i need this lies in the requirement that in the earlier data base the column that is hlding the date value is having the data type as varchar. and in the new design the column data type is datetime. i am using sql scripts for the data migration from the older design to the newer and got stuck with this datetime convertion issue. do let me know the best possible solution.
following are the sample data that is theer in the older table for the date.
12/12/2003 1/13/2007 01132004 1-1-2004 1.2.2001
there is no uniformity of the data that is stored currently.
Can anyone help me on this!I've got more than a 1000 records in a SQL server database.The problem is that the the date field is set to varchar, and that gives a lot of trouble. (for example by sorting a table, it's a mess)How can i make sure that i will have a table with the date field set to datettime en that those 1000 records still will be in it. thanks in advance!
Hi to ALL Here I am using .net 2.0 and MS SQL 2K. In our database table DateTime saved as in the format of 2007-01-31 8:33:19.000(yyyy-mm-dd) to access to this records by searching based on Date, when we are searching based on Date that Date format would be (dd/mm/yyyy). How we can convert the date format.
Data Base Date Format: 2007-01-31 (yyyy-mm-dd) Search Criteria Date Format: 31/01/2007 (dd/mm/yyyy)
I have written following Code: Pls suggest me whether its correct r not ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Select distinct tbl_adminuser.adminUserName,tbl_adminCategory.Name, COUNT(dbo.tbl_outbox.msgUserID) As
TotalCount
FROM dbo.tbl_adminuser,dbo.tbl_AdminCategory, dbo.tbl_outbox
where tbl_adminuser.adminUserID = dbo.tbl_AdminCategory.CatID and tbl_AdminCategory.CatID =
dbo.tbl_outbox.msgUserID
and tbl_outbox.msgUserID <> 0 and Convert(varchar,tbl_outbox.msgDate,103)>=@fromdate and convert(varchar,tbl_outbox.msgDate,103)<=@todate group by tbl_adminuser.adminUserName, dbo.tbl_AdminCategory.Name --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im getting a datetime format problem(mm-dd-yyyy for dd-MM-yyyy), when I install SQL Server 2005 Express. {The exception is: The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.} My windows Regional and Language options English (United Kingdom), Sort date format is dd-MM-yyyy. When converting the date time in Sql server is using the mm-dd-yyyy format. But Im supplying the dd-mm-yyyy format date time.
I tried number of things none of them worked for me
1. Tried changing the default language and get the date time format - exec sp_configure 'default language', 2057 reconfigure - did not work EXEC sp_defaultlanguage 'my user name', 'British' - did not work (Ref: http://www.cactushop.com/support/UKUS-date-format-issues-with-MS-SQL---conversion-errors-or-blank-pages__592__.htm)
2. Tried a registry hack by opening regedit, and get the following 3 language keys and change it to decimal 2057: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetupCurrentVersion] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsSetup [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1Setup] (Ref: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=62891) - did not work
3. Every thing in the Regional and Language options to UK and British with the date time format input language keyboard and every think else I could think of, which could link to US English or US date format --------- Did not work
4. even went into the extend of modifying the date format on a Windows machine for new users account by editing the HKEY_USERS registry key and creating a new user - Did not work (Ref: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/39407/39407.html )
5. Uninstall and reinstall SQL server express several time and did the steps 1 4 where applicable did not work¦.
If anyone has any idea of what I have to do to change the date time format in the SQL Server 2005 to use the dd-mm-yyyy format for dates.... Please help me or point me in the direction in which I have to look for an answer. Thank you very much¦.
I have a table that has a DATE field named. AccountingDate that is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. It's not a VARCHAR field. I simply want to convert this date field into the format MM/DD/YYYY and call it New_Accounting_Date.
I've played with various combinations of CAST & CONVERT but haven't been able to get it to work.
Below is my latest effort which returns the error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
What code would work to return a MM/DD/YYYY value for New_Accounting_Date?
Select GLBATCH.AccountingDate, convert(GLBATCH.AccountingDate as date),101) AS New_Accounting_Date from GLBATCH

I have a column in a database set as a DATETIME datatype, when I select it, I want to return it as:
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm am or pm.
How in the world can I do this? I looked at the function CONVERT() and it doesnt seem to have this format as a valid type. This is causing me to lose my hair, in MySQL it is just so much easier. .
At any rate, currently when I select the value without any convert() it returns as:

I can't seem to find a way to convert an INT type in the form of YYYYMMDD toan actual date form of mm/dd/yyyyCan anyone pointt me in the right direction?Thanks
I am having the wrost trouble with this today for some dumb reason... Please don't suggest any alternates; this is just a quick example, full code is more elaberate.

We are having problems with a new PC, we have installed oracle 10g client, Toad, and SQLServer2005 BITools PC regional settings set to en-NZ( we need date format to be dd/mm/yyyy) BITools/tools/options/international settings language = Same as Microsoft Windows
Ran a simple query(against oracle db) using between with 2 date parameters one parameter is datatype string the other datetime. When previewing report string is entered 01/03/2008 and datetime param is entered by choosing from datepicker, when view report button is clicked the datetime param is transposed whereas the string param remains unchanged.
The problem seems to be the datepicker not picking up on regional date format.
This is a new PC with xp-sp3 and the above software installed.
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."
