SQL Field Convert Nvarchar To Datetime

Dec 4, 2007

Hi everyone.

So as the subject says, I have a few fields that are nvarchar but hold date information. Most of these fields I have been able to move to datetime easiliy enough, simply by going into edit mode for the table and converting the fields to datetime. But 1 field is giving me problems I keep getting this error.
quote:- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
The statement has been terminated.

I really dont know why I'm getting this error, but I"m assuming it may have to be something like one of the records may not be in date format. But I don't know if this is the case and I don't know how to locate where my problem is coming from.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

How To Convert Datetime Field To A Date Field So Excel Recognize It As Data Type

May 17, 2015

I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE" .

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.

Convert DateTime Field

Sep 20, 2006

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure that this is the correct forum for this question but it relates to my SSIS package.

I am currently implementing an SSIS package to replace an existing stored procedure which is getting very unmanageable. I have come across a part in the stored procedure which performs a convert(datetime, @Parameter3, 14) on a string of data. The string value of @Parameter3 is in the following format HH:mm:ss.

The problem i am having is how to implement similar functionality in a script task. everything i have tried involving the datetime object returns 1,1,0001, 00:00:00 or similar. It never seems to get the time so that it can be passed to a datetime field in the database.

Thanks in advance for any help that is provided.

Convert With Character Field And Datetime

Jan 29, 2007

Hi,

I am getting a date string that is contained in a character field (char(20)).

An example of the data is as follows:

2005-09-20121315001

it is in the format YYYY-MM-DDHHMMSSMMM.

I want to insert this value into a datetime field. I have used convert, but can only insert it when I split out the time portion and separate them with a colon

i.e. to get it to insert into a datetime field the data has to be in the following format

2005-09-20 13:15:18.001

YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMM

Is there a style parameter in the convert function that will allow me to insert this value without having to separate the hours/minutes/seconds with a colon? I have tried BOL but it seems that all the examples have colons in them where there is a time portion to the date,

Thanks in advance

Transact SQL :: Convert Int To Time And Concatenate It With Datetime Field?

I have a datetime field for e.g 2015-09-15 00:00:00.000 and an integer field for e.g.100809.

The integer field is actually a time value as in hours,minutes,seconds. For e.g. the value

100809 means
10-hours
08-minutes
09-seconds

I need to combine the datetime and the int field to get the output as below

Transact SQL :: NVARCHAR Field Getting Truncated After Increasing Field Length?

Aug 28, 2015

I have a very strange situation. I've increased the size of an NVARCHAR field from 8 to 9 in a database table. The format of the data that I enter will either be an 8 character field (123456-8) or a 9 character field (1234567-9). The '-' is critical.

It used to only accept the 8 character version, but after increasing the field size, if I try to insert the 9 character field version, it gets truncated after the '-', as though it's still only allowing 8 characters. But that only occurs when I include the '-' or other such characters like '#'. If I try to insert 1234567a9, it works. The following explains the outcomes:

Inserted Value -> Result in table

123456-8 -> 123456-8      *Correct
1234567-9 -> 1234567-     *Wrong
123456789 -> 123456789    *Correct
1234567#9 -> 1234567#     *Wrong
1234567a9 -> 1234567a9    *Correct

Why is it that characters such as '-' and '#' are truncating the value, but only if the string is 9 chars long?

I'm currently using a direct t-sql insert statement in SQLExpress. The field is a simple NVARCHAR(9) field.

I have created a new SQL dB and imported a table from Access to SQL.
my date columns in Access have been imported as nvarchar(50).
all dates are in the format dd/mm/yyyy.And there is no bad data

My problem is that in the table design of my new SQL Table, if I change the datatype from nvarchar(50) to datetime I get the error "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime"

I know this is telling me that there is a problem with the format of some of the dates but all my dates are defo dd/mm/yyyy ,none of the data has format mm/dd/yyyy ie a 13th month.I know this because I cut the data down to just 2 pieces of data.

Convert Ntext To Nvarchar For ORDER BY?

Jan 22, 2005

I need to sort by an ntext field, but it won't let me do it.

However, if I cast the field as nvarchar(100), I can use ORDER BY on that.

Is there any reason that this is a bad idea? In my testing, ordering by a converted ntext field was actually *faster* than ordering by an nvarchar (same data in the fields).

Convert Nvarchar Values To Decimals

Feb 1, 2008

I'm new to SQL so please walk me through this step by step.

All the columns in my table have a data type of nvarchar, however, some of them need to be changed to decimals.

Here's an example of what my table (cicc.972file) looks like now

Account nvarchar(8) Balance nvarchar(8) Percent nvarchar(5)
45678935 459600 03500
78965215 005643 10000

and here's what I need it to look like

Account Number Balance Percent
45678935 4596.00 0.3500
78965215 56.43 1.0000

This seems like it should be ridiculously easy, but I keep running into road blocks. Like I said, this is just a sample from my table. My real table has 90 columns in it and about half of them need to be changed to either a dollar representation or a percent.

Thanks for you help!

Convert Nvarchar Values To Integer

Mar 13, 2007

I have imported a text file with various data into sql table. all these values have been imported as nvarchar. I need to convert these into Integer. the format of the values is 10length i.e. 0000000.00.
example of data:
0001028.99 - needs to be shown as 1028.99
222.00 - needs to be shown as 222.00
0000190.89 - needs to be shown as 190.89
2708.99 - needs to be shown as 2708.99
00000-50.99 - needs to be shown as -50.99
-109.79 - needs to be shown as -109.70

as you can see some of the values have leading zeros and some don't.
i have tried converting from nvarchar to int and i get the error cannot convert nvarchar to int, i believe it may be because the data contains negative values as well as positive values.

Is there a split function or position function which i can use to extract the data? or any other methods which i can use would be really helpful.

Thanks

Modify A Column From Nvarchar(50) To A DateTime

Jun 3, 2007

Hello,

I have a column that is a currently set as nvarchar(50) and is called DateEmployed.
There are over a hundred rows that contain dates which is in nvarchar format.

This column now needs to be changed to a DateTime datatype. (Don't ask me it was not set
to a dateTime when this was first designed - I wasn't here)

However, I have to change this column to a DateTime without destroying the data.

Is there any easy way to write some script or use studio management to change this.

Currently the data is displayed like this in this column dd/MM/yyyy i.e. 25/8/2007.

The method I am using to try and change this is by going to studio management clicking
modify on the column and changing the datatype from a nvarchar(50) to a DateTime.

I get this following error message:
- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
The statement has been terminated.

Any suggestions would be most grateful,

Thanks,

Steve

Example:

Balance

Convert Column From NVARCHAR(MAX) To Money And Then Back Again.

Oct 8, 2007

I need to always have a formatting of 999,999,999.00 in a column called PropertyMap9.

PropertyMap9 is always a nvarchar(max)

How do I SET a value using a CONVERT or CAST to accomplish this ?

Why does this give me a syntax error ? The PropertyMap7 set actually works and performs the calculation and sets the new value for that row, however the next line gives an error. I need all 3 columns PropertyMap9, 8, and 7 to always have the above formatting, while still maintaining the nvarchar(max) datatype in the column. HELP!

update PropertyMapValues

set PropertyMap7 = CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),CAST(PropertyMap8 AS money) - (CAST(PropertyMap9 AS money)),1)

set PropertyMap9 = CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),CAST(PropertyMap9 AS money))

END

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure UpdatePropertyMap7, Line 59
