Dealing with the DATE data type in SQL Server

As you know, a date is stored in SQL Server as "yyyy-mm-dd" when using the DATE data type. This is also how it displays when I pull it into my Access front-end (even if I set the field's format to Short Date.)
I'd like to be able to display it based on the user's regional settings. I know I can use the FORMAT method in VBA to change it to mm/dd/yyyy, but I have users in other countries and I don't want to have to maintain a number of different versions.
Any idea how I can automatically display the date in my MS Access form based on the user's regional settings?
Thanks.

Your solution, however, does not address the root of the problem. Access thinks it is a text field because there is no such thing as a 'Date' data type in Access. You will run into problems anywhere in Access, that you expect it to perform as
a Date/Time field. E.G. sorting, filtering. 'Date' is one of the newer data types in SQL Server 2008+. You should be using SQL Server DateTime or SmallDateTime data type. Access will recognize those as a Date/Time data type and treat them accordingly.

I still have no way how to deal with the LabView Data folder automatically created in the My Documents folder whenever I run the application

I tried numerous ways that some people suggested in this forum but did not succeed in having the LabView Data folder created somewhere else than in My Documents when running a built LabView application. Changing the target destination folder did not help at all. A member suggested to put some line like " defaultdestination = ..." or so into the build file, but I did not know where exactly to put such a line. That folder created is particularly anoying for people who don't normally use LabView but are only using the application. Please let me know when you LabView Experts out there have found a way to eliminate or relocate the creation of that folder at application startup.
Thanks a lot.

Tim,
use the path constant located in the Functions pallette under 'File I/O->File Constants->Default Data Directory'. It refers either to the default directory (which is (osdatadir)\Labview Data on my WinXP system) OR TO A NON DEFAULT PATH if you have defined one. To define a non-default path, got to the menu 'Tools->Options...' and change the entry under 'Paths->Default Data Directory'. This change will create an entry in the labview.ini file (located where the labview.exe is), e.g. the entry 'DefaultDataFileLocation=d:\temp' is created when I change the default data dir to 'D:\temp'.
Now for a compiled .exe with the name (say) myapp.exe you will find a file myapp.ini in the same location where myapp.exe is. It is usually an emtpy file directly after the application build process. Put the line 'DefaultDataFileLocation=(your path)' in this file.
Users of your compiled app can either
- edit this .ini file to change the default,
- or you can make the menu entry 'Tools->Options...' accessible in the built VI
- or you can provide a self written dialog in your app and modify the myapp.ini programmatically
(This last way is probably not a good one since the user might have to relaunch myapp.exe in order to affect a change of the 'Default Data Directory' path constant)

Distance calculation with the help of mappoint and sql server integration services

How to use mappoint 2011 with SSIS 2012 to calculate the distance between two zip codes? is there any process to calculate the distancein ssis?

SSIS being an ETL tool (moving and transforming data) does not have native integration with mapPoint, nor it exposes any 'Geo' functions to operate on geometry or geoshape data.
I imagine to achieve what you need SSIS should not be used solely, if you can read the ZIP codes then you can calculate the distance in C# (say) code which in turn can be used in SSIS Script Task if needed: http://www.wiredprairie.us/blog/index.php/archives/688

Pl/sql Procedure is Not Creating With the CLOB data Type

Hi,
I am Using Oracle 10g Express Edition Release2.... My Doubt is While creating a table With CLOB Data Type the table is created successfully,but while Creating a Procedure With the CLOB Data type i am getting an Error Message
2667/5 PL/SQL: Statement ignored
2667/24 PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
then i tried With the Varchar2(30000) the Procedure is Created Successfully note i have not changed any thing in my code except the data type.
I am Just Confused ......Why the Procedure is not Created with CLOB Data type?
Please advice ...
Thank U
SHAN

hi,
Thanks for reply....Another Example
CREATE TABLE USER_MAS (USER_ID VARCHAR2 (20 Byte),MAIL_ID VARCHAR2 (255 Byte));
set serveroutput on
declare
atable varchar2(64) := 'USER_MAS';
acolumn varchar2(64) := 'MAIL_ID';
avalue varchar2(64) := 'NEWYORK' ;
dyn_sql clob;
begin
dyn_sql := 'update '||atable||' set '||acolumn||' = '''||avalue|| '''' ;
dbms_output.put_line(dyn_sql);
execute immediate dyn_sql;
end;
commit ;
Error at line 2
ORA-06550: line 9, column 23:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
ORA-06550: line 9, column 5:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
When i Changed the Data type to varchar2(64)
update USER_MAS set MAIL_ID = 'NEWYORK'
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Commit complete.
I like to Know the Reason Why the Procedure is Not Created in Oracle 10g XE DB
Note :the Same Script i used in 11g DB the Procedure is Created Successfully....
Why you need use CLOB or VARCHAR2 in your temp_num variable as you sending parameters as number?
In the Procedure we are create some run time queries while executing the procedure. There are around 10 run time queries created.
The size of each query is more than 4000 characters . We then add all the queries using union all after each query to the clob variable as the normal varchar will not support.
Please Advice
Thank U

Maintaining the structure of a SQL Server staging area and dwh aligned with the Oracle data source

Hi,
I'm working in a context where the data source system, in Oracle, is a continuos work in progress. Each 1-2-3 weeks the data source system in the prod environment is updated with new tables or updated table (with new columns or altered columns). So, it is
important to apply in a rapid manner the related changes in the data structure of the SQL Server staging area and dwh.
The issues to solve are:
a. maintaining SQL Server data structure of the staging area aligned with the data structure of the Oracle data source;
b. maintaing SQL Server data structure of the staging area aligned with the data structure of the SQL Server staging area.
In order to solve these issues it could be useful to think to an authomatic manner to alert when a data structure change occurs and a simple manner to apply the changes on SQL Server data structure.
Any suggests, please? Many thanks

We use Oracle CDC service in SQLServer. It has a flag to indicate the schema changes happening at the Oracle end. We track the schema changes using it and then apply changes to sqlserver side. And regarding automation you can use Biml as suggested or .NET
scripts inside script task.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

In sm30, when save, how to fill the table with the system data in the table

Hi all, in SM30, we have user name and time fields, when we create record, after we click the SAVE button, it will automatically fill the fields with the system data, how can we realize it?

Hi ,
Do like this.
1. Go to SE11 -> give your table name and press on change button .
2.Go to Menu->Utilities-> Table Maintainance Generator , then it will take you another screen .
3.Assign Functin group if already have one , other wise create function group and assign
4.Go to Menu->Environment->Modification->Events , again it will take you to another screen
5.Click on new entries
->Now press F4 in T column . Select<u> "01" - Before saving the data in the database</u> and in form routinue give any name of the routinue like "SAVE_USER_DATA" and press enter then u can see an editor symbol in next column click on that it will take you ABAP editor there type this code .
ztable-username = sy-uname.
ztable-createtime = sy-uziet.
check and activate the code .
With this your job will be complete . Now while entering data just leave columns blank , they will insert corresponding username and time
Don't forget award points if it helps you.

Filling a range with the same date in Numbers '09

I know if you type a date in to a field and then drag the corner it will fill successive dates, but is there a way to fill a range of cells with the same date so I don't need to retype them each time?

Create a pattern of what you want, then do "fill"
Enter the same date in two or three cells, in a row or column, then drag to fill the range. Numbers should recognize the pattern you created and continue it.

Inserting Data from Oracle to SQL Server on the Real Time Basis.

Hi Everyone,
I need to insert data from Oracle to SQL Server on the Real Time basis, we have to fetch data from oracle approx 20 tables, and each table has more than 30 Fields. I need to fetch data in every 15 mins.
I have created a job using SQL SERVER Agent by writing insert queries for all the tables with conditions that no rows will be inserted which is already in SQL. note that this job is taking only 1 min to execute.
But in this way our SQL Server getting hanged and it giving problems to other application running in the SQL SERVER.
So i m requesting all of you that what is the best way to insert huge amount of data on the real time basis.
Thanx in Advance.

1) Create Linked server
2) insert data using openquery and set job in sql agent
3) run job after 15 minutes

PDF saving with the wrong date

When I save a file, it saves with the wrong date: it is off by 5 years and 1 day and the time is completely wrong. This has been happening for months and has not been fixed by installing newer versions of Adobe Reader (I currently have version 10.1.7). The date/time on my computer is fine and Microsoft Word documents save with the right date & time...

I'm actually having a similar problem with the computers that are used at my work, though not with a 5 year difference; Our pdfs get saved as if it were 2 days previous. We use mostly AutoCAD and print to PDF. The pdf gets saved to a shared drive, but everything else that we save on that drive (word documents, excel spreadsheets, AutoCAD files, etc.) have the correct date. I checked to see if maybe it had something to do with the time stamp server settings, but we don't have a server set up. The time on all of our computers is also set to the current date and time. We do sometimes save pdfs from outlook, from clients, but have the problem regardless of if we were using outlook or not. It's not a terribly huge deal, but sometimes we check to see when pdfs were updated versus their corresponding drawings and it gets confusing when the date is off. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Can I populate a text field in one PDF with the modification date of a different file ?

Rather convoluted problem here but I'm trying to place a text field on a PDF document that serves as the main menu page for a library of interlinked PDF documents
The complete library contains over 7,000 files and additions are added and documents changed almost daily.
We currently use batch files to open the main menu from it's shortcut and this runs a check on a sync log file (.txt) to ascertain when the last time the user synchronised with the server to get the latest copy of the files.
Between a certain time range they are told how long it has been since they sync'ed and are offered the option to sync before opening, after a prescribed timeframe they cannot enter without synchronising. We use Allways Sync to conduct the file synchronisation with our mother files on our server.
What I'd like to do is take advantage of Allways Syncs automatic synchronisation options to synchronise on log on and at prescribed idle periods there after.
This works fine but I'd like the text field on the main menu PDF to say when the last synchronisation took place - easy if the main menu is the last file modified .. just use info.modDate.
However, the main menu is rarely modified therefore I wish to import the text to populate the text field from a different file.. either by interrogating the other files modifictaion data (though I doubt Acrobat can do this) or by simply importing some text stored in another file (a .txt file?) which has previously been created by batch file commands.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Nifty Styles

P.S. I'm using Acrobat 8.3.1. Professional on Windows XP (SP3).

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
Kind Regards,
Nifty

Schedule a report with the system date imbeded in the file name

Hello,
Could anyone tell me how I can schedule a crystal report with the system date imbedded in the file name (FileNameYYYYMMDD) through BOE? When I scheduled the report through BOE, I gave a file name and selected Attach Date Time, but the file name is coming out slightly differently and with the time imbedded as well (FileNameYYYY-MM-DD-HH-MN I think). Is there a way to change the default system date time format in BOE so that the date stamp comes out the way we want it?
Thanks!

%SI_STARTTIME% will add the time the report ran too.
Adding onlt the date will necessarily have to be done via the appropriate SDK.

When I downloaded pics from my camera to iPhoto it put them in a file that was named with the download date. Can I do that with Aperture (as the download default)?

I recently replaced iPhoto with Aperture. When I download pics into Aperture they are place in a file that's called "Untitled Project." When I downloaded pics from my camera to iPhoto they were put in a file that was named with the download date (YYYY MM DD). Can I do that with Aperture (as the download default)?

My apologies.
When I import I have an Applescript that stores the images in a year month day folder-project structure so I haven;t used the default Aperture behavior in some time. When I tested it out to reply to you I was doing it from the file system and it picked up the date from the folder. mea culpa.
Anyway the closest you can get is to have Aperture split the images by date. IN the Aperture preferences set the project split granularity
Autosplit into Projects
and then in the import window set
Automatically split projects.
This will give projects named Month Day, Year (ie: Mar 13, 2012) there is no way to change this
As I said I have a script that runs on import and sets up a structure like:
Of course many here will say not to name projects this way, that Aperture has the ability to sort by date and you're better off naming projects something more meaningful. For them that is true and it might be for you also. For me I like to store my masters this way, it works for the way I shoot.
