Date/Time in SQL

Hey,
I'm trying to get CF to put the date or date/time into the SQL 2000 date/time field by using Toolbox insert record form wizard. Then use the date picker on the date field.
my error was
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
the SQL date/time field is 8 characters long, so, I don't know the best way to go about shoving a date/time into it in CF.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kenneth,
I´m by no means a CF expert, but...
the SQL date/time field is 8 characters long, so, I don't know the best way to go about shoving a date/time into it in CF
...do your ADDT Control Panel´s *database* "Date format" and "Time formats" settings match the required SQL 2000 date/time format ?

Date & time in sql through jdbc URGENT!!!

hi,
How do I enter date & time in this format "16 MAR 2002 12:54:23 pm" in the database of oracle through jdbc-sql?
Please help me out.
Its urgent.
Regards
Deepa Datar

If you are familiar with Oracle, you can use PL/SQL to do the work for you. I didn't test this, but it's probably pretty close.
String sql = "INSERT INTO TBLA
VALUES(TO_DATE('16 MAR 2002 12:54:23 P.M.','DD MON YYYY HH24:MI:SS P.M.'))";
I'm assuming that you know how to insert data, you are only wondering about the specifics of dates?
This can also be done using a prepared statement. You would code the insert statement something like this:
String sql = "INSERT INTO TBLA
VALUES(TO_DATE(?,'DD MON YYYY HH24:MI:SS P.M.'))";
I would suggest that if you can convert the time military (24 hour) time, it is easier to handle. The data format model for this is HH24. Otherwise you will need two prepared statements, one for A.M. and one for P.M.
Good luck.

How to insert date/time to sql database

Hi,
I would like to insert date and time alongside with my data receiving from the sensor.
Right now i can insert data into sql table everytime when the data changes but i also wanted to insert the date and time as well.
Thank you in advance!

I create a field that is a datetime and set the default value to getdate(). So everytime i make an entry into this database, it automatically adds a datestamp.

Date/Time erros when working with Database Connectivity toolkit

Hi!,
We are observing errors with date/time when working with LV. The error occurs when the system datetime format is set such that day precedes month (e.g. dd/mm/yyyy). Our VI uses LV 7.1, Database Connectivity 1.0 and SQL Server 2000 on a Win2000 machine.
Problem details
Our database in SQL server has a table having columns with data type "datetime"
If the system date format (as set in control panel) is "mm/dd/yyyy", the 'insert into database' vi works fine. This function inserts the date and time (among other things) into the above mentioned table.
However, when the system datetime is set to dd/mm/yyyy we start receiving error that date and time is beyond range for dates in which the date had the day field greater than 12 (e.g. 23/10/2005). With the same settings, if the date is such that day field is equal or less than 12 (e.g. 03/10/2005), we do not receive an error but the date is interpreted as 10 March 2005 rather than 03 September 2005.
Clearly LV (or is it SQL) is mistaking the day field as month.
We have taken care that when sending and receiving date, the format date and time string is set as per system settings.
Thus, if system setting is "dd/mm/yyyy" our format string is "%d/%m/%Y"
And if the setting is "mm/dd/yyyy" our format string is"%m/%d/%Y"
Any help on problem cause and cure is welcome.
Thanks,

Hi Xu,
You answer led me to some very interesting fact finding on how SQL server handles date and time. I have attached a zip file which contains webpages that throw more light on this issue.
The attached pages tell me that SQL has an inbuilt date/time reference format. The default in mm/dd/yyyy. Which explains why my VI worked when I used that format to write to SQL.
However there is a catch:
SQL expects the date/time to be in its inbuilt reference format when you WRITE data to SQL. If the date/time is in a different format, better tell SQL about it by using say the SET command you mentioned.
BUT what about the date/time format when you are reading data from SQL?
Our finding is that SQL sends date/time string in the system date format when you READ from SQL !!! That is very surprising behaviour (why differentiate between write and read?).
Is our finding correct?
So, we adopted the following simple strategy (yet to be fully tested):
1) Whenever we write date/time to SQL, the string is formatted as mm/dd/yyyy. Presently, the user's SQL server is in the default state. Caveat is that if the user changes SQL date/time from default (which is mm/dd/yyyy) to anything else, our software will give errors. But then he changed it ;-)
2) When we read date/time from SQL we format the string as per system date/time format.
I know this is not very robust coding. But assuming the user keeps his SQL in the current setting, should we expect smooth working?
In other words, are there any errors and/or flaws in our strategy?
Thanks,
Gurdas

Data services with SQL Server 2008 and Invalid time format variable

Hi all
Recently we have switched from DI on SQL Server 2005, to DS(Date Services) on SQL Server 2008. However I have faced an odd error on the query that I was running successfully in DI.
I validate my query output using a validation object to fill either Target table (if it passes), or the Target_Fail table (if it fails). Before sending data to the Target_Fail table, I map the columns using a query to the Target_Fail table. As I have a column called 'ETL_Load_Date' in that table, which I should fill it with a global variable called 'Load_Date'. I have set this global variable in the script at the very first beginning of the job. It is a data variable type:
$Load_Date = to_char(sysdate(),'YYYY.MM.DD');
When I assign this global variable to a datetime data type cloumn in my table and run the job using Data Services, I get this error:
error message for operation <SQLExecute>: <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid time format>.
However I didn't have this problem when I was running my job on the SQL Server 2005 using Data Integrator. The strange thing is that, when I debug this job, it runs completely successfully!!
Could you please help me to fix this problem?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
The ETL_Date is a datetime column and the global variable is date data type. I have to use the to_char() function to be able to get just the date part of the current system datetime. Earlier I had tried date_part function but it returns int, which didn't work for me.
I found what the issue was. I don't know why there were some little squares next to the name of the global variable which I had mapped to the ETL_Date in the query object!!! The format and everything was OK, as I had the same mapping in other tables that had worked successfully.
When I deleted the column in the query object and added it again, my problem solved.

SQL query for date & time interval

Hello everyone,
there is my problem
I have to make a search for events that are taking place during inserted date & time .
There's the table structure:
event
datefrom
dateto
timefrom
timeto
The problem is, when I try:
select * from xyz where datefrom <= inserted_date and dateto >= inserted_date and timefrom <= inserted_time and timeto >= inserted time;
then I don't get back all records.
eg: user inserts date = 10.10.2010 and time 10:00 and in the table is event [abc 11:00 9.10.2010 -> 09:00 11.10.2010] stored following way:
event         abdc
datefrom   09.10.2010
dateto        11.10.2010
timefrom    11:00
timeto         09:00
=> this event won't be found, because the sql logic compares only single parameters and not their context.
Do you have any idea, how to solve this issue?
Thank you.
Lukas

Hello Hubert,
thank you very much for your proposal, but your code makes the same select as mine (but in a more user friendly look :).
Table:
datefrom 09.10.2010
dateto 11.10.2010
timefrom 11:00
timeto 09:00
Event date = 10.10.2010 and time 10:00.
Your query:
select * from xyz where 10.10.2010 between 09.10.2010 and 11.10.2010 (that's so far ok) and 10:00 between 11:00 and 9:00 (no return there, because 10:00 doesn't lie within interval 11:00 -> 9:00... actually no value lies there) ;
Don't you have any other idea?
Thank you
Lukas

Pure SQL to partition date-time occurrences into non-overlapping windows?

i've a question that so far, i've never been able to solve via a pure SQL option.
it's hard to explain in words, but it's something like this:
given a set of date-time, i would like to partition the data into non-overlapping windows of 30 minutes each.
the data is supposed to be partitioned into windows of 30 minutes, meaning when the data is within 30 minutes of the first occurrence, only the first occurrence will be returned. in the next second after the 30th minute, the record will be considered as the start of a new window and is also returned. so those data that occurs within the window period are suppressed. the first occurrence is not necessarily occurring on the 00th minute, so the window start will never be constant.
run the below query to look at the dummy data.
SELECT     'A' AS ID
          , TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 7 / 24 + 1 *(ROWNUM - 1) / 1440 AS datetime
      FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY ROWNUM <= 50
UNION ALL
SELECT     'A' AS ID
          , TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 9 / 24 + 8 / 1440 + 1 *(ROWNUM - 1) / 1440 AS datetime
      FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY ROWNUM <= 35
UNION ALL
SELECT     'B' AS ID
          , TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 7 / 24 + 5 *(ROWNUM - 1) / 1440 AS datetime
      FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY ROWNUM <= 15this is supposed to be the output.
ID     DATETIME
A     5/19/2010 07:00:00
A     5/19/2010 07:30:00
A     5/19/2010 09:08:00
A     5/19/2010 09:38:00
B     5/19/2010 07:00:00
B     5/19/2010 07:30:00
B     5/19/2010 08:00:00so far, i'm using a PL/SQL to pipe the records. but i would like to know if this is achievable via SQL or not.
i've tried looking at analytics, width_bucket, ntile and alll options i can think of, but i just can't solve this at all.

hey Bob,
your answer is most definitely correct and does what i want. i've verified it again my data set and it returns the results as required!
you've definitely proven me wrong. i was always under the impression that this wasn't possible. thanks!
just a small note:
i need the windows to be binned by seconds, so have changed the numtodsinterval to raw numbers.

Sql command not working with date time??

I am using my own sql query to fetch data in the sql command.
Due to the problem I found - here is the basic example:
The sql is:
select to_number(to_date('10/11/2011 10:23:00','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') - to_date('10/11/2011 10:20:00','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')) minu from dual
But I am not getting anything in Crystal Report tool!!
In any sql tool I get results.
When I am not using time part (hh24:mi:ss) :
select to_number(to_date('10/11/2011','dd/mm/yyyy') - to_date('09/11/2011','dd/mm/yyyy')) minu
from dual
I am getting data!!!!
What is the problem??
Initially I had it with parameters of type 'Date Time'
Please, any one knows what the problem is?

Hi,
Sorry for the delay and thanks for answering.
It was partial solution
Moving to oracle driver, not (OLE DB), this specific one worked fine:
select to_number(to_date('10/11/2011 10:23:00','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') - to_date('10/11/2011 10:20:00','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss'))*100 minu from dual
BUT
When I tried to change one of the hardcoded values to be parameter of type 'Date Time' I couldn't pass the validation step - mostly the errors:
"ORA 00900 Invalid sql statment" and
"ORA - 00907: Missing right parnthesis"
No matter which format I used.
Last version is:
select to_date('{?tsStartReport}','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') from dual
Any idea why 'Date Time; is so problematic? How can I workaround it?

UPDATE SQL query using WHERE and a date/time data type... Multiple changes...

I'm using the LabView Database Connectivity Toolset and am using the following query...
UPDATE IndexStation
SET Signal_Size=200
WHERE 'StartTime=12:05:23'
Now the problem is that this command seems to update all rows in the table IndexStation... Not just specifically the row where StartTime=12:05:23
I have tries all sorts of {} [] / ' " around certain characters and column names but it always seems to update all rows...
I've begun to use the SQL query tab in Access to try and narrow down as to why this happens, but no luck!
Any ideas!?
Thanks,
Chris.

I completely agree about the Microsoft issue.
But it seems no SQL based manual states that { } will provide a Date/Time constant.
Is this an NI only implementation? Because I can't seem to get it to function correctly within LabView or in any SQL query.
Chris.
There is nothing about the database toolkit in terms of SQL syntax that would be NI specific. The database Toolkit simply interfaces to MS ADO/DAO and the actual SQL syntax is usually implemented in the database driver or database itself although I wouldn't be surprised if ADO/DAO does at times munch a bit with that too.
The Database Toolkit definitely does not. So this might be a documentation error indeed. My understanding of SQL syntax is in fact rather limited so not sure which databases might use what delimiters to format date/time values. I know that SQL Server is rather tricky thanks to MS catering for the local date/time format in all their tools and the so called universal date/time format has borked on me on several occasions.

Sql date time

hi i have a date time field in ms sql server 2005
i have 2 form fields i need to insert into the datetime
i am using CAST(@SchDateTime AS DATETIME) to convert my
datetime from
#DateFormat("#form.SMS_Date# #form.SMS_Time#",'dd/mm/yyyy
hh:mm:ss')#
but the time is not inserting correctly any ideas how i
insert 2 form fields into sql ?

DateFormat parses a date value (not a date and time). It uses
US date formats. So "12/2/2007" will be considered December 2nd,
not February 12th. Also, is your time using a 12-hour or 24-hour
clock? It its a 12-hour clock sql server might assume AM, unless
you included a time marker (ie AM or PM).
> am using CAST(@SchDateTime AS DATETIME) to convert my

Convert() provides more control, but I don't know if
dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss is one of the supported styles. An alternative
is to use CF to parse the strings into a valid datetime object
first, instead of passing a string to sql server and letting it do
the parsing.

Convert Data type from Oracle Data time string to SQL Date time data type

I have a time stamp column pulled from oracle into a SQL server db table varchar datatype column.
Now i want to change that column to date time.
Following is the data present in the table:
01-APR-11 02.15.00.026000 AM -08:00
01-APR-11 04.15.00.399000 AM -08:00
01-APR-11 06.15.00.039000 AM -08:00
I want to convert this data into sql server datetime data type.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Sam.
I am unable to find the solution in other sites which is why I have posted it in Oracle forum for seeking solution.
Thanks in Advance.
Sam.

Sam,
How are you actually loading the data into SQL*Server - are you using something like an Oracle gateway, BCP or another Microsoft utility of some sort ?
If you are using an Oracle problem then we may be able to help but if using a Microsoft utility then you should really follow up with Microsoft to know what format the data should be in to use a Microsoft utility.

How to set defalut value to DB current date time in EO using sql

HI,
I am using below query to set default date time as DB current date
select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dual
but it is throwing exception
(oracle.jbo.AttributeLoadException) JBO-27021: Failed to load custom data type value at index 7 with java object of type oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp due to java.sql.SQLException.

Halo,
I tested it & was able to find the values inserted in db in hiredate column.. What is that you did? Was this..
In EO of emp -- Hire date column of datatype timestamp :
details tab.. Default value -- expression :
DBTransaction.currentDbTimeIf you would have done this,
On run time when we click createInsert button , by default you will see the date.. After committing the changes, query it in db and will find the inserted record with default value..
Sample data i tested :
SQL Statement which produced this data:
select * from emp where empno=1111
EMPNO,ENAME,JOB,MGR,HIREDATE,SAL,COMM,DEPTNO
1111,null,null,null,06/05/2013 17:18:41,4500,null,nullRegards,

Before posting there close it and mark as answered.
if your time is number data type then you can try this
SELECT SUM(NVL(ROUND(TRUNC(DAC_OT_HOUR)+((TO_NUMBER (SUBSTR (DAC_OT_HOUR, INSTR (DAC_OT_HOUR,'.',1,1)+1)))/60)),0))

you can start with HXC_TIMECARD_SUMMARY table for submitter detail. But for approver details, i think you need WF tables to get the data for item type HXCEMP.
