Hi,
I have a varchar field named FinancialYTDCode containing data in the format 2007F or 2008F. I want to only select the rows with the FinancialYTDCode that is the same as the current year.
Could someone please show me how I write this in my script.
Thanks
Hi, I have the following query
SELECT *
FROM PABX
INNER JOIN LOGIN ON (PABX.COD_CLIENTE = LOGIN.COD_CLIENTE)
AND LEFT(LOGIN.TELEFONE1,3) = LEFT(PABX.NRTELEFONE,3)
LEFT JOIN AUXILIAR ON (AUXILIAR.ORIGEM=LOGIN.LOCALIDADE)
WHERE
pabx.COD_cliente = 224 and
SUBSTRING(PABX.NRTELEFONE,4,1) NOT IN ('9', '8', '7')
AND LOGIN.UF = RIGHT(PABX.LOCALIDADE,2)
AND LOGIN.LOCALIDADE <> PABX.LOCALIDADE
AND PABX.CLASSIFICA IS NULL
AND PABX.LOCALIDADE <> AUXILIAR.DESTINO
AND (BLOQUEADO = 0 OR BLOQUEADO IS NULL)
But It has a problem because when AUXILIAR.DESTINO returns null (it means there is no registry) the condition AND PABX.LOCALIDADE <> AUXILIAR.DESTINO doesn't work, like 'SAO PAULO' is different from 'NULL' but for my query no it's not even equal, and this condition ommit the results....how can I solve it ?
PS: Both auxiliar.destino and pabx.localidade is varchar(255)
Thanks

(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!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a datetime field that is just the date and zero for the time element. I also have a varchar field that is of the format 09:25:30
is there an easy way to add these together?
I don't mind if they get converted to integer as it will be used for comparison.
I have the following SQL:
select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt,
'Deposit' as type, a.* from
dbo.status_view a
where right(term,4) always returns a string which constitutes a 4 digit year eg '1999','2004',etc.
The SQL above returns
2004-04-20 00:00:00.000 Deposit ...
Which makes me think that it is able to successfully construct the datetime object inline. But then when I try and do:
select * from
(
select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt,
'Deposit' as type, a.* from
dbo.status_view a
) where dt >= a.submit_date
I get the following error:
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
Given that it executes the innermost SQL just fine and seems to convert the string to a datetime object, I don't see why subsequently trying to USE that datetime object for something (in this case comparison with submit_date which is a datetime in the table a) should screw it up. Help!!! Thanks...
I would like to compare 2 fields.. One of which is generated by the application upon insert. The other which is today's date.
In other words I want all records with today's date.
Problem is I get no results because I'm also apparently comparing the time.
Do I use a CONVERT function on my select & GETDATE outputs?
Thanks,
Kelly
I have a table with a DateTime field that has Dates in the format of mm/dd/yyyy I want to do a simple count on the table for the previous day but keep getting 0 for the results. Here is the script I've been trying.
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM mytbl
WHERE Collected_Date = DateAdd (dd, -1, GetDate())
It appears to me that the time portion of the DateAdd function keeps the matches that I am looking for from happening. What am I missing or am I going about this all wrong?
Thanks for any help
Hello friends,
I am trying to return all records between 2 dates. The Date columns are in DateTime format, and i am ignoring the timestamp. The user should be able to input UK Date Format (dd/mm/yyyy) and return the rows. This sql code works fine for American date format, but i get an error: converting from varchar to datetime when i put in a UK format. eg. 22/11/06. Please advise on this problem! many thanks!

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.
thnkx in adv.

Is there a performance impact (if so, how great is it) when comparing a date to a datetime data type?
An educated guess suggests yes, as there will be a type casting... but then again I don't believe there's an issue when comparing an int to a tinyint and there's an assumption these would play by the same rules?
This has only come about because I'm considering changing the data type used in my standard calendar script and this popped in to my head.
Can you compare chars stored as ccyymmdd correctly?
Field1>=field2
I was thinking you needed to cast this information as a datetime value before you could do it.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a table with a column that is currently a varchar(50), but I want to convert it into an int. When I try to just change the type in design mode I get an error that conversion cannot proceed. When I look at the field it appears some of the entries have special characters appended at the end, I see a box after the value.
How can I remove all speical characters and then convert that field to an int?
Also I tried the following query which did not work as well, same error about conversion.
UPDATE myTable SET field = CAST(field AS int)
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. Heres the code: DateTime createOn = DateTime.Now;string sSQLStatement = "INSERT INTO Index (Name, Description, Creator,CreatedOn) values ('" + name + "','" + description + "','" + userName + "','" + createOn + "')"; Any help would be much appreciated

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.
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.
What options do I have that will work?
DECLARE @datetimeoffset datetimeoffset(3)
DECLARE @datetime datetime
SELECT @datetimeoffset = '2012-11-08T17:22:13.575+00:00'
SELECT @datetime = @datetimeoffset
SELECT @datetimeoffset AS '@datetimeoffset ', @datetime AS 'datetime'
__________________________________________________ ___________
Result of above SQL is
@datetimeoffset datetime
2012-11-08 17:22:13.575 +00:002012-11-08 17:22:13.577
__________________________________________________ ____________
The result should be '2012-11-08 17:22:13.575', why the milliseconds value is incorrect

Hi,
I wanted to convert the varchar to date time and here is what i am doing
DECLARE @dt VARCHAR(20)
SET @dt = '20070111' -- YYYYMMDD format
select CONVERT(datetime, @dt, 120)
This works perfectly fine and the result would be- 2007-01-11 00:00:00.000
But if i changed my datetime format from YYYYMMDD to YYYYMMDDHHMM then this is failing and throwing
"Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string."
Can any one please let me know how do we achieve this?

Hi,
I'm facing a small issue with date conversions. It would have been great if someone could help me out. I have a field in my database (SQL Server 2000) called SavDateTime of type varchar(50). I store dates in this field in the format "dd/MM/yy hh:mms". A sample date would be "23/10/2007 10:15:30 AM". Now I need to have an order by for this field, say like,
select * from sample order by SavDateTime desc
When I execute this query I get an error saying "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.". I tried using the convert method also like CONVERT(DATETIME,SavDateTime,103), but the problem still exists. It would have been helpful if you could provide me with a solution to this problem.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Guys, I am experiencing weird results
SELECT DSNew, DTTM, RQDT
FROM dbo.Feb
INNER JOIN DMSEFL
ON ACTR = DSNew
where cast(DSNew as varchar(20)) = cast(ACTR As varchar(20))
If I run the above query I get zero recs back.
If I substitute a Value then I get the desired results (ie. where DSNew = '93235500') or if I enter (ACTR = '93235500') or if I put (where DSNew = '93235500' AND ACTR = '93235500')
Can anyone suggest a reason why this is happening. I know the records exist on both tables I ran the query in Acess and got the desired resutls.
Thank you,

I have a textbox that is receiving a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. The field in the database is VarChar size 10. I purposely don't want to use the DateTime data type for various reasons. When I extract the text from that textbox:
Example:4/11/2005
I do my INSERT. When I look in the database at that field, it shows up like:April 11, 2005 12
The database's field is VarChar! How/why is it doing automatic DateTime formatting?
hi, good day, if i have a table as follow:
Create table test
(
student_name varchar(20),
student id varchar(20),
register_dt varchar(50)
)
and insert data like
insert into test values('rebecca','0001','2006-08-08 12:15:03')
after all , i would like to query the data and insert into another table say data_tbl where it define as follow
Create table data_tbl
(
student_name varchar(20),
student id varchar(20),
register_dt datetime
)
would the test table regiter_dt auto convert into datetime format or we need to convert it before insert into data_tbl table?
Below is my query.Its working great if i remove ,Cast(C.ClassTime as time) as StartDate.But when i use this i get an error as The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value My ClassName is a varchar.Whose definition i cant change to DateTime now.But i want to cast it to DateTime.

I can't get a varchar to datetime conversion to work. The varchar data is in the form yyyymmddhhmi
I tried convert(datetime, '200508310926')
also tried cast('200508310926' as datetime) both have error "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string"
Is there a format code that needs to be there? If so, I can't figure out what it should be.
I eventually need to convert these to dates and compare them to getdate, example:
...where convert(datetime, dtfield) >= getdate()-1

Hello,
I'm trying to CONVERT some DateTime column to VarChar in the SELECT part but still do a DateTime ORDER BY while using a UNION.
In other words, does anyone know how to make this work:
create table #temp1 (
d datetime
)
create table #temp2 (
d datetime
)
insert into #temp1(d)
select '2001-12-12' union
select '2002-11-11'
insert into #temp2(d)
select '2003-10-10' union
select '2004-09-09'
--works fine-------------------------------
select convert(varchar, d, 101) dd from #temp1
order by d
-------------------------------------------
--but can't make this work-------------------
select convert(varchar, d, 101) dd from #temp1
union select convert(varchar, d, 101) dd from #temp2
order by dd -- wrong type of sorting
--order by d-- error
--order by cast(dd as datetime) -- error
-------------------------------------------
drop table #temp1
drop table #temp2
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
