Hi,
Ive imported a data set into SQL. Now on redefining a text field to datetime, most dates that are filled come through okay.
The issue is that there are some empty fields which I'd like for it to stay empty after conversion. Now what happens is that the empty field becomes '01/01/1900' - which is throwing off our queries as we need it to be compared to other date fields.
Is there a way to keep it empty even after the datatype is changed to datetime?
Thanks a bunch!
I am trying to insert data from a web form to a SQL Database. I am receiving the following error: {"String was not recognized as a valid Boolean."} I am also receiving a similar error for text boxes that have dates. Below is the code that I am using: <asp:SqlDataSource id="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" connectionstring="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnMktProjReq %>" selectcommand="SELECT LoanRepName,Branch,CurrentDate,ReqDueDate,ProofByEmail,ProofByEmail,FaxNumber,ProjectExplanation,PrintQuantity,PDFDisc,PDFEmail,LoanRepEmail FROM MktProjReq" insertcommand="INSERT INTO MktProjReq(LoanRepName, Branch, CurrentDate, ReqDueDate, ProofByEmail, ProofByEmail, FaxNumber, ProjectExplanation, PrintQuantity, PDFDisc, PDFEmail, LoanRepEmail) VALUES (@RepName, @BranchName, @Date, @DueDate, @ByEmail, @ByFax, @Fax, @ProjExp, @PrintQty, @Disc, @Email, @RepEmail)"> <InsertParameters> <asp:FormParameter Name="RepName" FormField="LoanRepNameBox"/> <asp:FormParameter Name="BranchName" FormField="BranchList"/> <asp:FormParameter Name="Date" FormField="CurrentDateBox" Type="DateTime"/> <asp:FormParameter Name="DueDate" FormField="ReqDueDateBox" Type="DateTime"/> <asp:FormParameter Name="ByEmail" FormField="ProofByEmailCheckbox" Type="boolean"/> <asp:FormParameter Name="ByFax" FormField="ProofByFaxCheckbox" Type="boolean"/> <asp:FormParameter Name="Fax" FormField="FaxNumberBox"/> <asp:FormParameter Name="ProjExp" FormField="ProjectExplanationBox"/> <asp:FormParameter Name="PrintQty" FormField="PrintQuantityBox"/> <asp:FormParameter Name="Disc" FormField="PDFByDiscCheckbox" Type="boolean"/><asp:FormParameter Name="Email" FormField="PDFByFaxCheckbox" Type="boolean"/> <asp:FormParameter Name="RepEmail" FormField="LoanRepEmailBox"/> </InsertParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { SqlDataSource1.Insert(); } I have been searching forums for parsing data, but I haven't found anything that works. Can anyone provide guidance. Thank you, Paul
Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string. I am getting this error while inserting values in the DB from my application. I have done insertion before too , but i never receive this strange error but when I insert the same thing manually then i didn't get this error ...
The format I used is also yyyy-mm-dd then how to solve this error?????????
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.
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)?
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?
Code Snippet SELECT Account.New_DistributorAccountNumber, Account.New_NameonBill, ActivityPointer.Subject, ActivityPointer.CreatedOn AS ExprX FROM Account INNER JOIN ActivityPointer ON Account.AccountId = ActivityPointer.RegardingObjectId UNION SELECT Account_1.New_DistributorAccountNumber AS Expr1, Account_1.New_NameonBill AS Expr2, ActivityPointer_1.CreatedOn AS Expr19, ActivityPointer_1.Subject AS Expr20 FROM Account AS Account_1 INNER JOIN Contact AS Contact_1 ON Account_1.AccountId = Contact_1.AccountId INNER JOIN ActivityPointer AS ActivityPointer_1 ON Contact_1.ContactId = ActivityPointer_1.RegardingObjectId
gives the error mentioned above. Each select statement, when run separately, works fine. Any clues?

I am inserting date and time data into a SQL Server 2012 Express table from an application. The application is providing the date and time as a string data type. Is there a TSQL way to convert the date and time string to an SQL datetime date type? I want to do the conversion, because SQL displays an error due to the

Hi,I tried to convert sql datetime to string (hh:mm:ss), or filetime, but i wasn't successful. Will somebody help me with my problem? I don't know how I can solve my problem really.Thank's
Hello, I would appreciate any suggestions I've got a datetime field that I'd like to store as just the date without the time component, but still to keep it defined as a datetime field. I ran this update statement but this conversion isn't working. Conversion to char gives me what I want but I need to keep the field as a date datatype if possible. Thanks :)
update <table> set <column>=convert(datetime,convert(char(10),hire_date,101)) )
The transaction_date is datetime and date1 is nvarchar. When I run the script: Insert into payment(transaction_date) Select convert (datetime, date1) from dep01
I get the following message:
Server: Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime. The statement has been terminated.
I have a DTS-package running which imports data from a .csv file to a sql2000 database. In the file there are some datefields in dd/mm/yyyy format and i want to keep it that way. But after the import the dateformat is yyyy/mm/dd. Does anybody know how i can prevent this from happening?
I need to convert values in a float data type field to that of datetime. The float data type field currently contains values such as 20060927,20060928, etc. Any suggestions?
i have another problem.and it's now on converting a char(4) to datetimehere is the situationJ_TIM < F_TIMJ_TIM is datetime while F_TIM is char of 4exampleJ_TIM = 20:30F_TIM = 2030how can i convert F_TIM to datetime so that i can compare them.???thanks
I have a problem with a datetime field. In the database is stored as datetime (121 format) ex. 2008-05-20 17:30:00.000 I have a simple select query (no datetime conversions used) and the result I get from the report looks like 5/20/2008 5:30 PM.
I dont want this format so i use this custom dd:MM:yyyy hh:mms
After that i get the dates like this 5/20/2008 5:30 instead of 17:30.
I have a column of DT_DBTIME data type in my Flat File source. This column is mapped to DateTime column in the SQL server destination table. A problem is that time values '12:06:39' and '13:37:45' are converted to the dates '12/30/1899 12:06:39 PM' and '12/30/1899 1:37:45 PM' correspondingly.
When I try the similar conversion from the inside Server Management Studio :
SELECT CAST('12:06:39' as DateTime), CAST('13:37:45' as DateTime)
I get the following results:
'1900-01-01 12:06:39.000' and '1900-01-01 13:37:45.000'
As you can see, the date portion is different and I expect that January 1st, 1900 is correct for this conversion. So, my questions are:
1. Why I have "previous" day in the Integration Services transformation?
I have a client that records qa data in minute intervals. They like to look at the data in various ways (e.g. 15 minute intervals, x minutes after a shift starts, etc.)
The code below groups data into different time periods. For example, data collected in one minute intervals can be converted into 15 minute intervals. The intervals start from a specified start time. For example, a shift may start a 08:00 but they want to look at 15 minute intervals starting at 08:20 after everybody has settled in.
Unfortunately, it only works some of the time; different intervals work better than others. Five minutes looks good but 15 and 25 minute intervals mess up when there are missing datetime datapoints (i.e. when a group ends at a missing datetime data point it puts in a wrong value).
In sample source data below, 10:50:00 and 10:51:00 are missing. In the result table 10:58:00 should be 10:50:00 (even tho it is missing from the source). BTW, the data values are correct regarding start, end, min, and max values; only datetime is incorrect. The problem is probably coming from the CASE statements in the sample below. Can anybody help?
