Converting Character Data To DATETIME

Aug 2, 1999

For our DataWarehouse, we get several date fields from our mainframe system in a character format. When this data was loaded into SQL Server 6.5 using the CONVERT(DATETIME...) function, any dates containing 'bad' data would simply be replaced by a NULL automatically by the DBMS. We are now going to SQL 7.0, and I have found that when it hits a bad date it terminates the stored procedure, resulting with no update.

Is there a straightforward way around this? Possibly a script that will scrub the data, replacing bad data with NULLs? I'm trying to avoid writing something that will take the number of days per month and determine if it is valid.

Thanks

Michael

Converting Datetime From Character String

Jun 28, 2004

Hi there,

I have the following code:

Dim CityTown As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("CityTown"), String)
Dim Suburb As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("Suburb"), String)
Dim SuburbValue As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("Suburb"), String)
Dim Rooms As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("Rooms"), String)
Dim Rent As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("Rent"), String)

Dim DateToday = DateTime.Now
Dim mySQL AS String
If suburbValue = "- All -" Then
mySQL = "SELECT propListID, propListExpires, propBuildType, propRoomNumber, propRentPerWeek, propDescription, propCityTown, propSuburb FROM tblPropertyList WHERE [propCityTown]='" & CityTown & "' AND [propRentPerWeek]<= '" & Rent & "' AND [propRoomNumber]='" & Rooms & "'AND [propListExpires] >='" & DateToday & "' "


However I am having trouble getting the Date to work as part of my SQL String. I keep getting the following error:

Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Line 32: myDA.Fill(MyDS)

Source File: K:detailsdetailspropertylisting.aspx Line: 32


Any ideas how to resolve this?? I do not want to use Parameters in my statement.

Thanks in advance,

Converting Datetime From Character String

Dec 2, 2004

Can anyone tell me what this error message means and how I can correct it on my statement:
Code:

Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

Here's my query statement:
Code:

SELECT animalid AS "Animal ID", name AS "Name", categoryid AS "Category ID", DATENAME(MONTH, dateBorn) + ' ' + DATENAME(DAY, dateBorn) + ', ' + DATENAME(YEAR, dateBorn) AS "Date of Birth"FROM animalWHERE categoryid = 'Cat' AND dateBorn = 'May%'

I know it has something to do with: dateBorn = 'May%' because when I took out Quote: AND dateBorn = 'May%' I get results, but I need to narrow it down to list the cats born in May.

Syntax Error Converting Datetime From Character St

Jun 4, 2007

Probably one of the easiest queries some have seen around, but good ol' MS and their dates. I can't get around this error on this simple query. It will be a job that will run probably several times a day. I haven't even gotten passed to the second part of it....I've also seen this error is a VERY popular error, even with advanced programmers it seems. WOW. Basically, I want to keep the row count to 2 days. Well, if you have any suggestions, I'd take 'em. Thanks!

Delete from tblCallIndexes where inum in
(select inum from tblCalls where StartedAt < 'DATEADD(d,-2,GETDATE())')

Conversion Failed When Converting Datetime From Character String

Jun 2, 2008

I am trying to write a SP in Query Analyzer before I start the code from a web form to acces it.
Here is the SQL:
-------------------------------------------
DECLARE @cReportGroups Varchar(500)DECLARE @StartDateRange DateTime
DECLARE @EndDateRange DateTime
SET @cReportGroups = '''VCCEddieBauer'',''VCCEddieBauerDirect'', ''VCCEddieBauerOrder'', ''VCCEddieBauerOvernight'', ''VCCEddieBauerSpanish'', ''VCCEddieBauerCustomerService'''
SET @StartDateRange = '09-16-2007'
SET @EndDateRange = '01-31-2008'
BEGIN
Declare @sql As Varchar(800)
Set @sql = 'SELECT ttalkacd, cName, dIntervalStart, cReportGroup' +
' FROM IAgentQueueStats ' +' WHERE dIntervalStart >= ' + @StartDateRange
---- ' AND dIntervalStart <= ' + EndDateRange  +
---- ' AND cReportGroup IN (' + @cReportGroups + ')' +
---- ' AND cHKey3 = ''*''' +
-- ' ORDER BY dIntervalStart' --+
---- ' COMPUTE SUM(ttalkacd)'
--Print(@sql)
exec (@sql)
END
-----------------------------------------------
Just trying to get the first >= filter working before I fill in the >= working to complete the date range logic.
But I keep getting this conversion error.
Why does SQL think that anything is a character string?All dates are declared as DateTime.I have tried a bunch of combinations like Convert(DateTime, @StartDateRange, 101).Nothing seems to work.

Syntax Error Converting Datetime From Character String

Aug 6, 2004

Here's the deal. I'm a newbie trying to update a date (@Effective) in sql server. I've been trying all sorts of things, but nothing seems to work. Here's my current code:

Sub btnUpdate_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim sqlStmt As String
Dim conString As String
Dim cn As SqlConnection
Dim cmd As SqlCommand
Dim sqldatenull As SqlDateTime
Try
sqlStmt = "UPDATE [Submission] SET [Effective]=Convert(DateTime, '@Effective', 101), "& _
"[Status]=@Status WHERE ([Submission].[Submission]=@Submission)"
conString = "server='(local)'; user id='sa'; password='password'; database='database'"
cn = New SqlConnection(conString)
cmd = New SqlCommand(sqlStmt, cn)

cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Submission", SqlDbType.Int, 4))
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Effective", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10))
cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Status", SqlDbType.VarChar, 8))

sqldatenull = SqlDateTime.Null

If (txtEffective.Text = "") Then
cmd.Parameters("@Effective").Value = sqldatenull
Else
cmd.Parameters("@Effective").Value = txtEffective.Text
End If
cmd.Parameters("@Status").Value = dropStatus.SelectedItem.Text
cmd.Parameters("@Submission").Value = LabelSubmission.Text

cn.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cn.Close()
Response.Redirect("main.aspx")

Catch ex As Exception
lblError.Text = ex.Message
Finally
cn.Close()
End Try
End Sub


My db is setup as follows:

Submissionint4
Insuredvarchar30
Statevarchar2
Effective datetime 8
Underwritervarchar9
Statusvarchar8
Cleareddatetime 9


I'm losing my hair by the fist full... Somebody please stop the insanity!

Syntax Error Converting Datetime From Character String - HELP PLEASE!

Apr 20, 2005

Somewhere, either in the
aspx.vb code, or the stored procedure that's being called, it doesn't
like my code since I am getting the dreaded "syntax error converting
datetime from character string" error.  I've been battling this
for two days - can someone spot what is wrong here?

The dtWdate variable is coming from a calendar control on my aspx page.
Please help - I've tried every conceivable way I can think to do this without success.
Lynnette

Here's the code:
    Private Sub GetFLSAEmpInfoRecs()
        'uses the AppSettings table to generate WHERE clause from the filter values

        Dim dtWdate As DateTime = Calendar1.SelectedDate
        Dim wValue As String = Session("svFilterValue")

        Dim cnn As New SqlConnection(constants.SQLConStrFLSA)
        Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("usp_AddFLSA", cnn)
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
        cnn.Open()

        cmd.Parameters.Add(New
SqlParameter("@dtWDate", SqlDbType.DateTime)).Value =
Convert.ToDateTime(dtWdate)
        cmd.Parameters.Add(New
SqlParameter("@whereString", SqlDbType.VarChar, 500)).Value = wValue
      
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
        cnn.Close()

    End Sub

And here is the stored procedure:

ALTER PROC usp_AddFLSA
  @dtWdate datetime,
  @whereString as varchar(255)
AS
DECLARE @strSQL as varchar(2000)

SET @strSQL =

Msg 241: Syntax Error Converting Datetime From Character String

Nov 24, 2005

Hi,

I'm having a strange problem with the following stored proc:


Code:

sql

declare @orderBy tinyint

set @orderBy = 2

SELECT tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered, count(movieSessionID) As sessionsCount FROM tblUsers
LEFT JOIN tblMovieSessions on tblUsers.userID = tblmovieSessions.userID
Group By tblUsers.userID, firstName, lastName, dateRegistered
Order By Case
WHEN @orderBy = 2 THEN firstName
WHEN @orderBy = 3 THEN dateRegistered
WHEN @orderBy = 4 THEN count(movieSessionID)
else lastName
End desc



When I execute it with @orderBy = 1 or 2 I get the following error message: Quote: Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

However, with @orderBy = 3 or 4 it executes successfully.

I don't understand why this change should have this impact because the error seems to be occuring on the first line (i.e. SELECT...).

If I take the dateRegistered column out of the query I get a new error message:

Quote:
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'Adam' to a column of data type int.

I don't understand why it is trying to convert these columns during the query anyway, let alone how to solve the problem.

Anyone got any ideas?

Syntax Error Converting Datetime From Character String

Sep 29, 2005

I am using INSERT to replace about 160 fields for one company in the company table, all goes well until I come to the Rn_edit_date field which is a datetime datatype. When I insert the value of:

cast('2005-03-15 09:25:44.463' as datetime)

Error message as a result is: Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

NOTE: 2005-03-15 09:25:44.463 is the correct format which all other companies abide by, so I'm totally lost at where I'm going wrong?

Any help would be appreciated

Syntax Error Converting Datetime From Character String.

Mar 6, 2008

I have a field that has dates that are currently set as a string. Dates are as follows:

Apr 01 2006
Aug 20 2006
Aug 20 2006

I did an isdate() function on the field to see if it can be converted and it came back as true; however, I have attempted several different ways to convert the field to a date field and it continues to give me a syntax error. Any assistance would be great!!!

I tried:
convert(datetime,cast(New_Date as varchar),100)
convert(varchar(25),New_Date,107)
Both gave me syntax errors.

Conversion Failed When Converting Datetime From Character String.

Mar 6, 2008



Good Morning:


I received the above error message when I try to convert a field to a date.

Here is the line of sql:

convert(datetime, cast(EligibilityEndDate as char(8)), 112) as EligibilityEndDate,


EligibilityEndDate is stored as an integer in our source system, so dates display 20080201.

Looks like the data is not a correct date.
If I just bring in the field as is, and load results into a text file or Access, I can't see the offending record.
The query returns around 320K records.

Is there another way of finding the invalid record(s)?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Mike

Help With Exception: Conversion Failed When Converting Datetime From Character String.

Mar 7, 2007

Hi,
I am trying to insert an entry into my database, but I keep on getting the following error: "Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string."  My query is a parameterized T-SQL query (i.e. "INSERT INTO blah (name, dob) VALUES (@name, '@dob')"), and I have initialized the SqlCommand object by doing:  sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@name", "Captain America");
sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@dob", birthdate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy h:mm tt");

sqlCon.Open();
sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlCon.Close(); 
 The dob field in the table 'blah' is a smalldatetime datatype, and in the code above, the birthdate object is a DateTime object. 
I can insert into my database using a normal T-SQL through Management Studio,
For example,  INSERT INTO blah (name, dob) VALUES ('Captain America', '11/27/1923 12:34 PM')
 But it doesn't work when I try doing it the way I have listed above.  It's really annoying because I don't know how to debug or if it is possible to debug the query.  So first off, I want to ask, does anyone know how why this exception is occuring?  Secondly, is it possible to debug the query? and if yes, how?  And finally, is there a way for me to extract the T-SQL query sent to the SQL Server with the parameters filled in their values? For example, after adding all parameters to the SqlCommand via sqlCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(), can I get the T-SQL query that is sent to the server?

convert(datetime,'08162006',101))

Both attempts fail with the following error:

The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.

Conversion Failed When Converting Character String To Smalldatetime Data Type

Oct 3, 2007

I am running the following query:
 select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where  cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and  cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1))  and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead   order by hqvend,fprod
The bold sections are giving me the error message. The query works as written above, butis only evaluating on one date, contained in hqeff. However, when I try to modify the second date, HQDIS, by casting it the same way as the one before it:
 select distinct hqvend, hqvprd,fprod,idesc,ilead,sum(cast(fqty as int) )as fqty, (cast(hqvend as varchar(5))+'/'+ltrim(rtrim(fprod))+'/'+cast(ilead as varchar(3))) as Keydata,'L1/'+rtrim(fprod) as LocPartno from tblkfpl01 inner join hqtl01 on (fprod=hqprod) inner join iiml01 on (hqvend=ivend and hqprod=iprod) where  cast(cast(hqeff as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) <= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1)) and  cast(cast(HQDIS as varchar(8)) as smalldatetime) >= (Select CONVERT(varchar(8), getdate(), 1))  and hqvend like '134%' group by hqvend,fprod,hqvprd,idesc,ilead   order by hqvend,fprod
I get the error message. I need to select based on both dates (hqeff AND HQDIS), but cannot seem to be able to it.... Both fields are of type Dedimal, with a length of 8, and dates stored in them look like: 20071003 (YYYYMMDD).
Any suggestions?

Recently i traspased a database from sql server 2000 in spanish to sql server 2005 in english. I change the language of the user sa to spanish and the database is in spanish. . The problem is our dateformat is dmy, i try to force with set dateformat dmy, but always i execute a stored procedure that have a date as input it fail. The error is:

Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Procedure pa_CalendarioGestion, Line 40

The code of stored procedure in this line is:

set @diaActual = dateadd("d", @i, @fechaInicio)

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Conversion Failed When Converting Character String To Small Date-time Data Type

Jul 15, 2014

All source and target date fields are defined as data type "smalldatetime". The "select" executes without error though when used with "insert into" it fails with the error:

Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Line 25: Conversion failed when converting character string to small date-time data type..I am converting from a character string to smalldatetime since the source and target date columns are "smalldatetime". All other columns for the source and target are nvarchar(255). I assume there is an implicit conversion that I don't understand. In a test, I validated that all dates selected evaluate ISDATE() to 1.

USE [SCIR_DataMart_FromProd_06_20_2014]
GO
IF OBJECT_ID ('[SCIR_DataMart_FromProd_06_20_2014].[dbo].[IdentifierLookup]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [SCIR_DataMart_FromProd_06_20_2014].[dbo].[IdentifierLookup]

[code]....
