Hi,comming from php/mysql some things here on this side are great - but some seems to be solved in a way I can not figure out.What I need is a way to get a string in the format "yyyy-mm" out of a date-time field like:09/05/2006 23:12:36 should produce 2006-09 as one stringWhat I figured out by my own is: SELECT { fn CONCAT({ fn CONCAT(DATENAME(yyyy, dateField), '-') }, STR(DATEPART(mm, dateField))) }, ...but this returns "2006- 9" with blanks in it. Or I could use 2 times the DATENAME but this would give 2006-September.Would it help to use a stored procedure?Thanks,Klaus
What is the best way of converting datatime field value 29/03/2005 08:58:27 to 29/03/2005. I only want to remove Time from date and I am using Sql Server 2000. Thanks Arvind
Can anyone advise me if I can enter an expression into the format property of a field, so the date is displayed as dd/mm/yyyy ?
It is currently mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
I have been trying with convert and FormatDateTime, but can't seem to get this to work in the Report layout editor. I would like to know how to do it here, rather than changing my query.
In the footer from a report I want to print the UserID and the Date. I added a textbox with de following code: =User!UserID & " " & Globals!ExecutionTime
Now I want to change the date format in dd-MM-yyy uu:mm. This is not possible in the textbox properties because I added the UserID to the same textbox. Is there a way to change the format?
But it does not work, and when I just want to use the format property of the textbox content such as "dd/MM/yyyy", it displays "dd/MM/yyyy", not the real formatted data, this property works for "=Today()" but not for parameters and fields. What is the diffrence?
Have you an idea to format a Parameter/Field of Date type such as dd/MM/yyyy?
E.g, i have a store procedure. The start date is long date (4/15/2007 3:00pm). i want to select the start date with a particular date (short date format 4/15/2006). Thanks in advance.
I want to select only the date portion of a datetime field. the date normally shows as similar to '2004-01-01 09:39:52.000'
I need to return just '2004-01-01'. using convert and cast returns the dates as 'JAN 01 2004' - this won't sort correctly, so it is of no use. any suggestions?
I need to search a nvarchar field based on the format of the text. This field holds values in two formats: 000 000 000 000 and 000000. I only want to search through the records that are in the 000 000 000 000 format. Can anyone give me direction on how to go about doing this or give me some key words to search for on Google? Fixing this problem is not an option. This is a county tax DB from a poor county with almost a million records in it. Thanks for the help!

Hi I wrote query to get date from database SQL 2000 server. Sometime I get different date format not MMDDYYYY but number as Julian calendar?? Do you know what wrong with this? How can I wrote SQL so that all date will be MMDDYYYY? Thanks Daniel
I am new to SQL server, and am learning as I move an Access db to MSDE2000A. With Access db I run several different queries from a VB6 application in the basic format:
SELECT testdb.* FROM testdb WHERE testdb.datefield = #1/01/2004#
When working with the MDSE version of the db, problem is with the "#" delimiter of dates. MSDE is giving a bad query error. If I change the format to: datefield = '1/01/2004' , the query works on MSDE
However, using SQL builder in VB Design Environment I can run the query in either format and get a result.
I am trying to match records that are >= the current date. I have tried using: SELECT DISTINCT name FROM table WHERE datefield >= DATEPART(month, GETDATE()) AND datefield >= DATEPART(day, GETDATE()) AND datefield >= DATEPART(year, GETDATE()) ORDER BY name but this is not giving me the result that I am looking for. What is the best way to match a DateTime field type using the current date without the time?
I have a table in my MS SQL 2000 database called News which has a field caled NewsDate. This is a standard Date field which stores the info in this format: 3/1/2001.
I want to create a query that returns one row for each year that there is a story.
For example, if I had this data... 3/1/2001, 6/27/2003. 9/17/2003, 1/1/2006, 4/5/2006
the query would return this result:
2001 2003 2006
This is the query I've started with:
SELECT DISTINCT NewsDate FROM News ORDER BY NewsDate DESC
What modifier can I apply to the NewsDate field to extract JUST the year from the table? If this were ASP I would try something like Year(Date), but, of course, I can't do that here.
Is this even possible? I've been looking up date functions, but haven't found anything that will work in a select statement. ANY and ALL advice will be greatly appreciated.
I am trying get my VB6 application to insert a record into a table (SQL Express) which has a datetime column but it would not process if the data format is differ to *American Date format*.
The date() function in VB returns 15/11/2006 which is in Australian Date format (DD/MM/YYYY) according to my setting in "Reginal and Lanuage Option-> Locale 0> English (Australia)" setting.
I get the following error:
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Server KITSQLEXPRESS, Line 1 The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value. The statement has been terminated.
My computer's locale is set to English (Australia) and I expect the datetime format would follow what is set in system locale
I've read an article somewhere on the net about how SQL 2005 eliminate the confusion of date conversion when read/write datetime records into a table...but it seems to me that it is still as in-flexible as MS Access
Is there a setting in the database that takes care of it?
I am using SQL2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 I have one column in database called DateTime and it is defined like type datetime.It is formated like: day.month.year hour:minutes:seconds My question is: I want to get date from Column DateTime in format day.month.year in SELECT query, not in stored procedure. thanks
Need some quick help here.. The data I got from the text file use the "04/11/2007" date format and the StockDate in MS-SQL use the datetime datatype.
My understanding is that the "04/11/2007" will default to the 04/11/2007 12:00 am" format in MS-SQL.
So, when I use the sql query, how do search only for the date part of the data in MS-SQL and match it to the data from text file? I tried this SQL Query below.
--snip-- SELECT RawID FROM tblPurchaseRaw WHERE VIN = '" & sVin.ToString.Trim & "' AND StockDate = '" & dStockDate.ToString.Trim & "' --snip--
That way, if I get a row then I know the data is there. If I don't get a row then I know the data is not there.
Bold: I get it now. It is all automatic as MS-SQL does it automatically...

Hello, I want to do a DISTINCT SELECT query with more than one field, for example a ID field with a Type field, as if both fields make the primary key, like (ID 1 ,Type 1) ,( ID 1, Type 2) and (ID 2, Type 1) is ok but not (ID 1, Type1) and (ID 1,Type 1) if its not possible to do a distinct with more than one then what other techniques are possible to get the duplicate data out. the reason why I want to use distinct is that I can use that query to export that data to where both of these fields make the primary key. Thanks in advance
