Using Server Explorer in VB 2005, I am manually entering data in a table in a SQL Server 2005 Express database that includes a DateTime field. I have tried every conceivable format, but no matter what I try get one of these 2 errors:
1. String was not recognized as valid DateTime
2. Operand type class; text incompatible with DateTime
I have Googled this to death, but no example which involves trying to enter the data manually, say from Server Explorer.
Formats tried include all datetime formats (mmddyy, yymmdd, using dashes or slashes, enclosing in single quotes or pound signs).
I would appreciate if someone could please give me an example that I can literally insert without error.
I keep getting the following error message but I don't see what's wrong with my code
Server Error in '/Admin' Application.

I have a datetime field in a database which I am programmatically inserting values into. The field can be null or not null. However, I am having problems inserting NULL as part of my SQLCommand. The value is pulled from a text box (linked to a calendar extender) and when I select a value it is being inserted fine. If I just leave the box blank though, I want the field to be set to NULL. I have tried adding in ,DBNULL.Value, as part of my VALUES(…) string, but this throws an exception. I Have tried just inserting ‘’ but that also throws an exception (“The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value�), so I don’t know how I can insert this value when the field is blank? Can anyone shed some light please? Thanks
HiI am trying to insert value retrieved from Now() into a datetime field in my MSDE database, but I am getting the following error, and I have no idea what is going wrong.Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.The statement has been terminated.Here is the code I am using:Dim user As String = MyContext.User.Identity.Name.ToString Dim TimeDate As DateTime = Now() Dim status As String = "Pending"
With SqlOrders.InsertParameters .Item("UserName").DefaultValue = user .Item("OrderDate").DefaultValue = TimeDate .Item("Status").DefaultValue = status End With SqlOrders.Insert()The date is being returned in this format 23/03/2006 02:01:52, which is the same format as it should appear in the database. could anyone please tell me where I am going wrong?
Hi, I have a problem when I insert a date in a datetime field in a MSSQLServer. That's my problem: if the server is in english version, I have to insert date with this code:
DateTime.Today.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
instead if the server is in italian version, I have to insert date with this code:
DateTime.Today.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")
Is there a way to insert a date in standard way, without knowing the server version?
Hi, Assume I have a table name "myTime". This table is simply only have 1 (one) DATETIME field "MyTestTime" (also serve as a primary number).Table MyTime- MyTestTime : SQLTYPE DATETIMETo insert a new row into this field, I simply wrote :SqlCommand sqlCommand = new SqlCommand("insert into MyTime values('2006-01-09')", sqlConnection); I got the value of "2006-01-09" from a textbox or other relevan control.I realize when I try to use "SELECT * FROM MyTime" statement, MSSQL server 2000 automatically convert my date value from "2006-01-09" to "01/09/2006" (from YYYY-MM-DD to MM/DD/YYYY). I don't know why this one must be converted to MM/DD/YYYY automatically (I believe this behavior is depend on some "setting option" in my MSSQL server - but I don't know which one).The challenge is :In my country, the actual date format is like German Date format (DD-MM-YYY). Well I know this is only "Customization" problem. But how insert datetime value given from sql query to a datetime variable?// Connect to database, make a query, get the datareader result, and bla bla blaDateTime aDateTime = new DateTime;aDateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(myDataReader["PostDate"].ToString());// close connectionMy question isHow can I make sure that aDateTime's day is 09 not 01. How my program know that 09 is day not month. I can't use string.split() method because it's possible that my database setting will change from "mm-dd-yyyy" to "dd-mm-yyyy"thanks
Hi Andrea, I have made a table which contain data inserted manually and also data that was inserted by using bulk insertion. I have no problems using the table with Grid View. But when I try to use a query like the following:
SELECT * FROM dbo.last WHERE VMake = 'Honda' AND VType = 'sedan' AND VColor = 'Red';
I would only get the data that were inserted manually. When I use the same query to filter data from a table that the data was inserted by using bulk insert, I get column names but no data.
I have looked and looked for any information on how to insert data from a db into a text field using a stored procedure. If anyone has any helpful links or suggestions, my sanity would greatly appreciate the help.
what i understand if if the data field is integer or money, not string, then i need to do a convert(datatype, value) in the insert but how come its still not working INSERT INTO [Product] ([Title], [Description], [Processor], [Motherboard], [Chipset], [RAM], [HDD], [OpticalDrive], [Graphics], [Sound], [Speakers], [LCD], [Keyboard], [Mouse], [Chassis], [PSU], [Price]) VALUES (@Title, @Description, @Processor, @Motherboard, @Chipset, @RAM, @HDD, @OpticalDrive, @Graphics, @Sound, @Speakers, @LCD, @Keyboard, @Mouse, @Chassis, @PSU, convert(smallmoney, @Price))

Is there any conversion needed for millisecond values?

I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express for creating my database. I also use the GUI tools for data entry instead of using T-SQL. Whenever I try to enter a value in a field that has a smalldatetime data type, it gives me an error message - "Invalid Value for cell (row 1, column 2).
The changed value in this cell was not recognised as valid. .Net Framework Datatype: Datetime Error Message: Index was outside the bounds of the array. Type a value appropriate for this data type or press ESC to cancel the change."
Now I have tried entering all different combinations in which one can enter a date or a time or both, including in the format I have specified in the windows regional settings, but I always get the same error message.
My other thread containg this same topic seems to have some error. It doesn't show up in the main 'SQL Server Database Engine' group at all. So I had to start a new thread instead.

Hi,
I use only English as the default language for all programs, OS included. The date in question is not just one particular date, it is any date or time value, and I've been facing this issue ever since I started using SQL Server Express a year ago. Only I haven't used it much since, and need to seriously develop something now, that I bothered to ask the question here.
Some examples of the values I tried entering yesterday, and none of them worked. (I got the same error message for each value) -
1-1-2007
01-01-2007
01/01/2007
01,01,2007
01:01:2007
Jan 01, 2007 (this is the format I have specified for short date in the Win regional settings - MMM dd, yyyy)
I even tried entering time alongside with all those above figures in the format -
11:35 PM
11:35 AM
23:35
The only time value(s) I didn't try was/were - hh:mms tt - which is the time format specified in my Win regional settings, neither standalone, nor with the date values.
I also tried entering a time value standalone, without the date. Still no go.
(Also, as I have gleaned from previous posts, if all goes well and SQL Server accepts your data, then if you enter just a date value in a datetime field, then the field automatically gets populated with the value of the system time at that moment, and if you enter just a standalone time value, then the date part will be filled by the system date value on the date of the entry. Am I correct so far?)
Now I'm in a real fix because of the inability to enter date/time values.
Could you please help me out?

I don't understand. I can enter the datetime values in all the above mentioned combinations if I use an Insert or Update statement using T-SQL, but I can't seem to enter data in the datetime/smalldatetime fields at all if I try to use the GUI of Management Studio Express to enter data. (right click the table, select show table, and the grid view pops up). Ditto for using GUI tools of Visual Studio Express. Is this a bug in the Visual Studio (Express) software?
Also, my other concerns are, once I develop a front-end for data entry using VB, will I face the same issues with data entry in the datetime fields using the GUI of the front end? I can't test that right now, because I'm still learning VB, and cannot create the front end just yet.

Alright, I have done a complete reinstall of Win XP, and have also reinstalled SQL Server Express. Prior to this, I had SQLExpress SP1, but now I have directly installed SP2.
Now I continue to face the same issue. SQL Server will not accept any value for any datetime field, unless it is entered as an SQL insert statement. It won't accept the value entered in the exact same format as the insert statement from the GUI mode of Management Studio Express, nor will it take any values from any GUI developed using VBExpress and the fill dataset method. It throws an error everytime. I don't know any other way of databinding and updating/inserting using VB at this time.
I am at my wits' end because of this. I ask again, is this a bug in SQL Server Express? If so how do I report it to MS and get my issue resolved? If not, even then how can I solve this problem?
Could someone please help me out? I am stuck and cannot use the product at all, without the datetime field.
Hi, I have a data file which consists of data as below, 4 PPU_FFA7485E0D|| T_GLR_DET_11||
While iam inserting into table using bulk insert, this pipe(||) is also getting inserted into the table, here is my query iam using to insert the data using bulk insert.

I want to protect a field in a table...i want to restrict users to update the value in that field...by manually logging into that database...it can be updated only through the application...if any body manually update the field value....it has to be captured in log with old value....is it possible to do this sql server...if any of u says yes 'its possible' then :beer: other wise :eek:
I have an Excel spreadsheet that contains 100,000 + rows of data. Two of the columns in the spreadsheet are date fields that are sent over in the yyyymmdd format (no separators such as "-" or "/"). I tried converting these fields into dates using the Data Conversion task in SSIS. This doesn't work as it appears that SSIS cannot map a string in the format of yyyymmdd to a valid date. In lieu of this, I have added a Script Component to my transformation which can take the string and convert it to a date value using some Substring() calls on the source yyyymmdd string.
A few questions for the group ...
1. Is this there a more efficient or "better" way of performing this transformation?
2. I can also use OLE DB Command task in my transformation and make a call that might do something like this: select convert(datetime, convert(varchar(10), [@yyyymmddValue])) but how would this perform related to the Script Component task? My guess is that this would be slower since the transformation would make a database call for every record.
3. Are there any plans for the SQL team to make these types of conversions easier to implement in the future? It seems to me that this is a pretty common scenario for integrating date data.
I am taking my first stab at a 3 tier architecture within ASP.Net. I have been adding datasets and creating a new Insert to add certain parts to a table. I am trying to add a date field called 'DateAdded' and is setup in SQL as a DateTime. When Visual Studio auto created the dataset, the Insert function is not "DateAdded as Datetime" as I would have expected, but it is "DateAdded as System.Nullable(Of Date)". There is a space in between 'Of' and 'Date'. If I keep the space in there the insert function shows an error that says "Arguement not specified for parameter DateAdded of funtion( etc. etc.). If I take the space out, the error on the insert function goes away but there is an error within the "OfDate" that says "Array bound cannot appear in type specifiers". I am confused on why the date format changed and how I can get a date to go into the database using the autogenerated datasets from Visual Studio. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike
Hi all, having a little problem with saving dates to sql databaseI've got the CreatedOn field in the table set to datetime type, but every time i try and run it i get an error kicked up Error "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."I've tried researching it but not been able to find something similar.

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.
hi there, i have a calendar that i put into a string ilke this string str = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString(); the result is dd/mm/yyyy date which is great, but for inserting into my DB (MSSQL) it needs to be a datetime field, however when i convert it Datetime dtDate = Convert.ToDateTime(str); it takes my date and adds 00:00:00 onto the end and this is not what i want! i just want the dd/mm/yyy how do i do this, it has to be simple but i have been searching for hours and cant find anything, i am using ASP.NET 2 and C# Thanks
Hi, I am working with "sql server enterprise manager". How can I insert datetime(i.e. date) value in the datetime column in my database using an sql command?

Im trying run a stored procedure, but I am getting the following message when trying to execute it.
Implicit conversion from data type datetime to int is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
which seems strange, as there is no integer going to a datetime field. Also, it does not return the value that is incorrect, nor the parameter that is failing. If there is anyway to view this in VS 2005 Team suite, please let me know.
It should also be noted that when I execute this sproc from within sql management studio, it executes fine.
This is the stored procedure im trying to execute...
in my .net app, all the datetime objects are valid dates, so I could not see why this would be generating the error that it is, so I ran the SQL Profiler, and this was the output. Again, i cannot see where im going wrong...
please note, I have seperated the output from the single slab of text, making sure I didnt remove anything...
Hi all,I am getting this error when insert values from one table to another inthe first table the values are varchar (10). In the second they aredatetime.
