T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Using CAST Or CONVERT To Change Data From String To Datetime?
Apr 16, 2014
i am trying to take a field that has part of a date in it, so I have to parse it out as follows:
SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)
This is because a date of 04/16/2014 will show as 160416 in the first part of the field I need to parse it out of, thus becoming 04162014.
From there I then need to convert this "date" into a legitimate SQL datetime type, so that I can then run a DATEDIFF to compare it to when the record was actually entered, which is a separate field in the table, and already in datetime format.
When I use the below statement, I am getting the message that, "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string."
CAST((SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)) as datetime)
I also tried CONVERT(datetime, (SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)), and got the same message.
how I can parse that field, then convert it to a datetime format for running a DATEDIFF statement?

Dear Experts,Ok, I hate to ask such a seemingly dumb question, but I'vealready spent far too much time on this. More that Iwould care to admit.In Sql server, how do I simply change a character into a number??????In Oracle, it is:select to_number(20.55)from dualTO_NUMBER(20.55)----------------20.55And we are on with our lives.In sql server, using the Northwinds database:SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2)) as a_number,cast ( STR(r.regionid) as int ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2) ) as a_number,cast (STR(r.regionid,7,2) as numeric ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044Str converts from number to string in one motion.Isn't there a simple function in Sql Server to convertfrom string to number?What is the secret?Thanks

I have a standard datetime and I need to convert it to the client specification of:
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD
eg: 2009-04-16T19:20:30+08:00
I am not sure of the easiest way to do this.
The test code below gets me part of the way but I am unsure on how to get the offset on the end without hardcoding to much.
DECLARE @datetime DATETIME = '2014-12-20 12:30:00'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),@datetime,127)

We have 2 columns:
StartDate - data type Date
StartTime - data type Time
I need to combine them into a DateTime data type. For now, I convert each of them into varchar, insert space in between, and convert to DateTime, like this:
convert(datetime, convert(varchar(10), EndDate , 101) + ' ' + CONVERT(varchar(20), EndTime,24))
Is there a better, more elegant way to do this?

I'm importing dates into a table with Bulk insert
SET DATEFORMAT DMY
it works with dates e.g. "14/01/2009"
However sometimes I get dates in the format
"Fri 14/01/2009"
What is the best way to convert these.
I can only think of putting them in a staging table with all date fields as varchars Then updating these varchar fields
LTRIM(REPLACE(dtField, 'Mon', ''))
LTRIM(REPLACE(dtField, 'Tues', ''))

I've been trying to do the following:
Code Snippet
if year(@SomeDateTime) <> @SomeYear
set @SomeDateTime= convert(datetime, @SomeYear+ '1231', 112)
If variable @SomeDateTime evaluates to 20080101 and @SomeYear = 2006, I wish that my variable @SomeDateTime becomes 20061231 (December 31st).
The way it's written now, it doesn't work... @SomeDateTIme evaluates to 1908-11-12.... ?!

Being a newbie to SSIS I'm not sure of the most efficient method of converting a DateTime object to a String.
I'm from a C# background where this would be easy using DateTime.ToString("YYYYMMdd"). I want to use the date in a file name so don't require most of the parts.
I'm sure I could do this using a script task to produce a file name for each row of data in my table and add that filename to the dataset but it seem like overkill to do something that should be simple. Also as I'm supposed to be getting to grips with SSIS I shouldn't keep running back to what I know.
My current approach is to derive a column and build up an expression to convert the date into a string. The only problem being that it doesn't work.
The expression I'm working with is:
(DT_WSTR, 50)([OrgName] ) + "_" + (DT_WSTR, 50)( [PayrollName] ) + (DT_WSTR, 4)(YEAR( [ProcessedDate] )) + (DT_WSTR, 2)(MONTH( [ProcessedDate] )) + (DT_WSTR, 2)(DAY( [ProcessedDate] )) ".txt"
Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?
All comments greatly received.
Cheers
Ben

I am trying to create a stored procedure that Pulls in Chargeable and Non Chargeable hours for our employees however When I run the Stored Procedure I get this error "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string." I am having a hard time figuring out were this is happening in the Stored Procedure. Also I would like to be able to Add a parameter that would be the StartDate and EndDate for which the stored procedure would pull time for.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Chargeability]

Hi,
I have dates in "mmddyy" format coming from the sources and they are older dates of mid 80s like 082580 for instance.
When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error.
When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong.
Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello forum,
Is it possible to convert a date stored as a string into a datetime with integration services 2005? My attempts with the €œdata conversion€? fail. The string type form of the date is €˜yyyy-mm-dd€™ and the desired result for use in a Union All is €˜dd/mm/yyyy 12:00:00AM.€™ This outcome is needs so that match on the date can populate a fact table, as the results are coming from two different databases.
All advice/help welcomed.

Hi I am having this problem. I have created a stored proc that uses dynamic sql. Now this works fine when I use it in Query Analyzer.
Now when I try to use this in Reporting services it gives me the error:
'

My sotred proc is as:

@param5 datetime
)
AS
begin
declare @strSQL varchar(500)
set @strSQL = 'SELECT * FROM v_DetailedAuditsIssued WHERE '
if @param1 <> ''
Begin
set @strSQL = @strSQL + 'strRegion = ' + @param1 + ' AND '
End
if @param2 <> ''

end

When I run
rptDetailedAuditsIssued '','','','1/1/2000','1/1/2001'in query editor it runs fine. But gives me that error every time I run it in SSRS. I think I got this problem but in earlier cases I used to set the param values to null in Repservices and it worked but its not working this time. This time it stops complaining but does generate any fields.

How do I use the GetBlobdata to get the string representation?
I have tried numerous version of Encoders thinking that
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(Row.TextData.ColumnInfo.CodePage).GetString(b) (where b is the byte array returned by GetBlobData)
But this doesn't work. I have had to resort to converting the field in SQL, so I don't have to deal with blobdata.

We have a 3rd party application that connects to our SQL 2005 as a external database source.
Our external database has a 'datein' field that for some reason is stored as a varchar(50).
I can use cast to convert the field to datetime, but how would I then format to the yyyy-mm-dd format in the same select statement(using in view)?
I need to convert this field to a format of YYYY-MM-DD in order for the 3rd party application to search on it correctly.
Below is an example of the data --
FieldName = DateIn
DateType = Varchar(50)
