Convert varchar to datetime in ssis

hi,
hox ca i convert 2012-09-20 08:50:05 which is in varchar(255) to a datetime 2012-09-20 00:00:00 with SSIS????

Yes sure you can convert it very easily.
using sql query:
Declare
@v varchar(255)
Set
@v =
'2012-09-20 08:50:05'
Select
convert(datetime,@v)
using SSIS:
right click on source transformation -->go to advance editor --> click on tab input output properties -->oledb source output --> output column -->
yourcolumnname --> on right you can see datatypes properties --> datatype --> change with database timestamp.

Converting varchar to datetime 103

Hi Guys
Im making a select query where in a colomn the date is yyyy-mm-dd, i need dd-mm-yyyy (103). A simple convert query does not work because the colomn is not set as a datetime but as a varchar. Its not possible to change the tables at the source.
The colomn name is DATE_IN
I think the following post could be helpfull but i dont know how to fix the given statements into the select query
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1509977/convert-varchar-into-datetime-in-sql-server

> in a colomn the date is yyyy-mm-dd, i need dd-mm-yyyy (103)
As suggested above, this is string date format to string date format conversion, purely string operations.
If you convert to DATE / DATETIME first (universal internal binary representation), then it may fail if invalid date.
You can use the ISDATE or TRY_CONVERT functions to check if the string date is valid.

Converting varchar to datetime where date field is missing

Hello Sir,
i have a column with varchar datatype values like '2013/12','2012/11' where date field is missing. i want to convert it as datetime at runtime so that i can use datetime related function. Is it possible for ms sql server 2008?
thanking you.

>> I have a column with VARCHAR data type values like '2013/12', '2012/11' where DATE field is missing. I want to convert it as DATETIME2(0) at runtime so that I can use DATETIME2(0) related function. Is it possible for MS SQL Server 2008? <<
The most important leg on a three-legged stool is the leg that is missing :) A DATE is made up of three fields; YEAR, MONTH and DAY. You gave no business rule for picking the DAY field, so this makes no sense.
Since SQL is a database language, we prefer to do look ups and not calculations. They can be optimized while temporal math messes up optimization. A useful idiom is a report period calendar that everyone uses so there is no way to get disagreements in the DML.
The report period table gives a name to a range of dates that is common to the entire enterprise.
CREATE TABLE Something_Report_Periods
(something_report_name CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
CHECK (something_report_name LIKE <pattern>),
something_report_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
something_report_end_date DATE NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT date_ordering
CHECK (something_report_start_date <= something_report_end_date),
etc);
These report periods can overlap or have gaps. I like the MySQL convention of using double zeroes for months and years, That is 'yyyy-mm-00' for a month within a year and 'yyyy-00-00' for the whole year. The advantages are that it will sort with the ISO-8601
data format required by Standard SQL and it is language independent. The pattern for validation is '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-00-00' and '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[01][0-9]-00' in the CHECK constraints.

Converting Varchar to DateTime

I need to convert a varchar column currently holding date and time to a proper datetime field.
Example of the current view
CRIS_Date
05/02/2014 1130
03/02/2014 1105
05/02/2014 1145
03/02/2014
05/02/2014 0930
After
05/02/2014 11:30
03/02/2014 11:05
05/02/2014 11:45
03/02/2014
05/02/2014 09:30

Another method with STUFF:
You know, its not a good design storing your date time value in a varchar datatype. The best and first thing you should do is to change the varchar datatype to datetime datatype.
create table #temp
date_col varchar(100)
insert #temp select '05/02/2014 1130'
insert #temp select '03/02/2014 1105'
insert #temp select '05/02/2014 1145'
insert #temp select '03/02/2014'
insert #temp select '05/02/2014 0930'
Select date_col as 'before',case when len(rtrim(date_col))>10 then STUFF(date_col,14,0,':') else date_col end 'after' From #temp
Drop table #temp

Crystal Data Conversion Issue (Error converting data type varchar to datetime)

Hi,
I can run stored procedure without error in SQL Server using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
I can also run Crystal Report after connecting to Stored procedure without error on my desktop using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
But when I upload the crystal report in BOBJDEV and when I run using database credentials report fails saying that "Error in File ~tmp1d1480b8e70fd90.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 18456 ]" but I can run the crystal report successfully on BOBJDEV using my personal credentials.
I googled (Data Conversion Error Message) about this issue & lot of people asked to do "Verify Database" in Crystal Report. So I did that, but when I do it I am getting a error message like this:
Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
Where do you think the error might be occurring? Did anyone faced this kind of issue before? If so, how to resolve it?
(FYI, I am using Crystal Reports 2008, & for stored procedure I have used SSMS 2012 )
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks & Regards.
Naveen.

hello Naveen,
since the report works fine in the cr designer / desktop, we need to figure out where you should post this question.
by bobjdev do you mean businessobjects enterprise or crystal reports server? if so please post this question to the bi platform space.

Convert varchar(20) date to date that looks like mm/dd/yyyy

Good afternoon,
I am a total novice at SQL and have been tasked to change a varchar(20) date column (shows up as m/dd/yy) to show up as mm/dd/yyyy. I've looked at the previous posts, but being a novice, it's difficult to wade through the non-applicable stuff. The column
that needs to be changed is field2, but I'm not sure how to construct a statement to reflect my objective.
Thank you in advance.

The sample uses a table variable. You can program it the same way for a table:
DECLARE @t TABLE (dt VARCHAR(20))
INSERT INTO @t
VALUES ('1/2/12')
,('3/10/10')
,('7/23/9')
,('aa')
,('12/31/99')
,('10/20/00')
,('10/20/01')
SET DATEFORMAT mdy
SELECT dt
,CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), CASE
WHEN isdate(dt) = 0
THEN NULL
ELSE cast(dt AS DATE)
END, 101) AS newDt
FROM @t;/******** TRY_CONVERT() method ************/
SELECT dt, newDt=CONVERT(varchar(10),TRY_CONVERT(date,dt),101) FROM @t;
GO
dt newDt
1/2/12 01/02/2012
3/10/10 03/10/2010
7/23/9 07/23/2009
aa NULL
12/31/99 12/31/1999
10/20/00 10/20/2000
10/20/01 10/20/2001
dt newDt
1/2/12 01/02/2012
3/10/10 03/10/2010
7/23/9 07/23/2009
aa NULL
12/31/99 12/31/1999
10/20/00 10/20/2000
10/20/01 10/20/2001
Starting with SQL Server 2012 you can use TRY_CONVERT().

Convert varchar(255) to varchar(50)

I want to transfer data from a staging table to another table. The staging table has columns with datatypes I don't always want, and I'm converting them like so:
INSERT INTO [dbo].[my_table]
SELECT CONVERT(datetime,TimeIndex,103),
CONVERT(decimal(6,3),Network_In,3),
CONVERT(decimal(6,3),Network_Out,3),
CONVERT(decimal(6,3),Network_Total,3)
FROM [dbo].[staging_table]
How would I convert varchar(255) to varchar(50)?
Thanks in advance
Adam

Using substring is returning the column so thanks but now I can't convert datetime for some reason:
INSERT INTO [dbo].[mytable]
SELECT SUBSTRING(ClusterName,1,50) AS 'ClusterName',
CONVERT(datetime,TimeIndex,103),
ClusterID,
CONVERT(decimal(3,2),Memory,3),
CONVERT(decimal(3,2),CPU,3),
CONVERT(int,CPUTotal),
CONVERT(int,MemoryTotal)
FROM [dbo].[stagingtable]
GO
Now I get an error I didn't get before:
Implicit conversion from data type datetime to decimal is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
But if I run the datetime convert on it's own as a single column select then it works okay. Any ideas where I've gone wrong there?
To sum up - the above fails but the below works:
SELECT CONVERT(datetime,TimeIndex,103) AS 'TimeIndex'
FROM [dbo].[stagingtable]
Thanks

Convert DocTime to datetime type and format of HH:MM

Hi Experts!!
I am setting up an alert that will run every 5 minutes but would like only those docs created in the last 5 to be selected. In order to accomplish this i would like to use the DATEDIFF funtion. But have a problem in that the DocTime is a smallint (why it's not a datetime is beyond me!) How do I convert it to the proper datetime type and format?
Thx
Richard

Hi Richard,
check with this just change date smallint to datetime
select
(select case when len(oi.doctime)=3 then
convert (datetime,convert(varchar,( convert(varchar,oi.docdate,103) + ' '+ (left(oi.doctime,1)) + ':'+ (right(oi.doctime,2))) ,114),103) else
convert (datetime,convert(varchar,( convert(varchar,oi.docdate,103) + ' '+ (left(oi.doctime,2)) + ':'+ (right(oi.doctime,2))) ,114),103) end) as PreparationTime

Convert varchar to decimal - arithmetic overflow

I'm using SQL Server 2014 and I'm trying to convert data from a staging table over to a production table. I seem to be getting an Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to numeric on the decimal conversion. I'm sure I've overlooked something with the
syntax of the CONVERT.
This is the staging table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[staging_table](
[TimeIndex] [varchar](100) NULL,
[Cluster] [varchar](100) NULL,
[AvgMem] [varchar](100) NULL,
[AvgCPU] [varchar](100) NULL,
[TotalMemory] [varchar](100) NULL,
[TotalCPU] [varchar](100) NULL,
[Datacenter] [varchar](100) NULL,
[vCenter] [varchar](100) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
This is the prod table I'm moving it to:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Clusters](
[ClusterID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ClusterName] [varchar](25) NULL,
[DatacenterName] [varchar](25) NULL,
[TimeIndex] [datetime] NULL,
[AvgCPU] [decimal](5, 2) NULL,
[AvgMem] [decimal](5, 2) NULL,
[TotalCPU] [decimal](8, 2) NULL,
[TotalMem] [decimal](8, 2) NULL,
[vCenterID] [int] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Clusters_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[ClusterID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
and here's an example INSERT INTO statement throwing the error:
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Clusters] (ClusterName,DatacenterName,TimeIndex,AvgCPU,AvgMem,TotalCPU,TotalMem,vCenterID)
SELECT SUBSTRING(Cluster,1,25) AS ClusterName,
SUBSTRING(Datacenter,1,25) AS DatacenterName,
CONVERT(datetime,TimeIndex,103) AS TimeIndex,
CONVERT(decimal(5,2),AvgCPU) AS AvgCPU,
CONVERT(decimal(5,2),AvgMem) AS AvgMem,
CONVERT(decimal(8,2),TotalCPU) AS TotalCPU,
CONVERT(decimal(8,2),TotalMemory) AS TotalMem,
'3' FROM [dbo].[staging_table]
Sample data is 0.00 to 100.00 in fields AvgCPU and AvgMem, and TotalCPU and TotalMem usually goes up to about 7 digits with no decimal (eg. 7543253) but could be 8 and although I've never seen a decimal I wouldn't rule it out so decided to account for it.
I assume it's something I've overlooked with the syntax but any ideas would help.
Thanks
Adam

The problem is your precision and scale you are assigning to your decimals.
decimal(5,2) = this is a total of 5 digits, 3 digits for the whole number and 2 for the fractional.
decimal(8,2) = this is a total of 8 digits, 6 digits for the whole number and 2 for the fractional.
So converting a varchar of 7 or 8 digits for TotalCPU or TotalMem will give you an error because your definition will actually only allow for 6 digits of storage. You could test this by doing decimal(8,0) or decimal(10,2) both which will allow for up to
8 whole numbers.
If you are worried about space Sql Server will allocate a set number of bytes for ranges based on the precision (first number in the parenthesis). See this page which explains in detail how much space each range takes up and also further details on
decimal and numerics.

You didn't show any example of your date or time values, butyou might need to add a space between them, like

Replace and convert varchar to decimal

Hi all
What could be the easiest way to replace and convert varchar(50) to decimal
My string '21 807,00' Need to have it in db as 21807.00
Thanks
AKE

On any version you can use somple convert with replace:
declare @MyStr varchar(10) = '21 807,00'
SELECT CONVERT(decimal(10,2), REPLACE(REPLACE(@MyStr, ',','.'),' ',''))
but if there is a different format and the convert will not work, then you will get error. Therefore it is best (as mentioned) to use TRY_CONVERT on newer server or use Try block on old servers

How to convert varchar to int in MSSQL?

Hi,
I am using mssql. how can i convert varchar to int type.

id (int) txt(varchar)
1 ---------10
2 ---------10a
3 ---------10b
i want to convert varchar to int. HOw? pls explain with query.

"10a" wouldn't normally be considered a number. So what sort of number do you expect it to be?
Other than that you can look at the substring and convert/cast functions.
