MS Access returns a SQL Database date field as text

When linking to a table via ODBC to a SQL database, Access returns any field that is formatted as 'Date' as a 'Text' field. A Date/Time field works fine. I cannot change the SQL Database.  Is there a fix for this?

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Which version of Access and SQL server do you use?
Do you use ODBC Driver 11 for SQL server?
Based on my test (My environment: Access 2013, SQL server 2014, and ODBC Driver 11 for SQL server), I can't reproduce your issue. Regardless  of "Date" and "Date/Time" data type of SQL, both of them can be linked to Access
that are formatted as Date/Time type.
I suppose this issue may be caused by the data. For example, if the date like: 2015--2--23, it can't be recognized as date type in Access. Please try to check it.
If you have any update, please feel free let me know.

  • Database DATE field

    I have a process on a page that loads a form's field data into a %rowtype variable and passes it to a package in the database.
    The package then performs an update to the table holding the data.
    There is a DATE field that I can not validate on the APEX front-end.
    So, if the user enters something in the date field that is invalid,
    it gets passed to the package on the back-end that's doing the update and it throws a database error back to APEX.
    Question: How can I intercept this during the update.
    Sure, I can update the other fields and send a flag back to APEX indicating that something is wrong with the date field and APEX can then redirect the user to a "You entered an invalid date field". But then I'm just re-creating the APEX validation that I can't use.
    This is where the customer has put me. 8-)
    Just wondered if I'm missing something. I guess I could do some formatting validation in the APEX process, but then I'm still just mimicking the APEX-provided validations.
    Thanks.

    Why can't you validate the date field in apex front end?
    You can certainly determine if the field is a valid date or if it falls within a range.
    It's just custom item validation that needs to be done.
    I have apex pages with start and end dates and I check that end date is greater or equal to start date, etc.
    If its got to be a range of dates you can pick a date from a lookup.
    You could also populate it from a calendar.

  • JSTL sql:query date field has zero time part

    I have a little JSP where I am using JSTL to do a query against a table "ph_application" that has a date field "rundate". This field has many different dates and times in it.
    Here is the code snippet:
    <sql:setDataSource url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@oraprd02:1521:ipp4" user="site" password="pmc_site"/>
    <sql:query var="application" sql="select * from ph_application"/>
    <c:forEach items="${application.rows}" var="row">
    <tr>
    <td><c:out value="${row.name}" default=" " escapeXml="false"/></td>
    <td><fmt:formatDate value="${row.rundate}" type="both"/></td>
    </tr>
    </c:forEach>
    The resulting date/time output always has a 12:00:00 AM time regardless of what is actually in the table. I have changed the fmt:formatDate to a c:out of the row.rundate.time value and it appears that the time part of the date is actually zero at this point.
    Is there an inconsistancy between the oracle date type and what JSTL is expecting (somewhere)?
    Any help and/or verification is appreciated.

    I'm running this from within JDeveloper 10g.

  • Training - Will Adobe Connect Pro provide access to an SQL database?

    Hi,
    I'd be totally indebted to find out the following information regarding Adobe Connect Pro as we're evaluating it for hosting Captivate created content.
    Background: Adobe has an API and we are hoping that we can make  our  own custom form and then upload additional Trainee information (say they  have two cell numbers or their birthdate) into the hosted Adobe Connect  site for our training.  We want Trainees to be able to register themselves via a form that we host and have the push in via the Adobe Connect API.  It's too painful for us to have to make a userid for the trainees each time.
    Question 1) Is there a way for us to get access to the SQL Trainee database hosted with Adobe Connect?  If so how is that done?
    Question 2) Will the custom values (e.g. the phone and birthdate) that are made on our form and passed to Adobe Connect's LMS viewable by the Admin Reports interface?
    Question 3) Will the custom values (e.g. the phone and birthdate) that  are made on our form and passed to Adobe Connect's LMS viewable wihin the SQL database if we have access to that (see question 1).
    Thank you!

    How to set this from java ?.Usually you use a prepared statement and one of the set methods.
    Or you can use setString() and format the date yourself using SimpleDateFormat.

  • Is it possible to access to a SQL Server in the LAN?

    I would like to know if it's possible to access to a SQL Server that is in my LAN from Windows Phone 8.1.
    Thank you so much.

    Hello,
    in principle, it's the question whether to implement a thin or a thick client and whether to design a two-tier or a multi-tier application.
    A thick client is almost standalone - the business logic is implemented and performed by the client, whereas the thin client in principle does only provide an UI to access the services that the server provides.
    Thus, thick clients have more workload than thin clients and thick clients must guarantee that the data stays consistent. Besides, if you have multiple thick clients for multiple platforms (which is often soon the case after you have at least one mobile
    client) you have to port the whole business logic. This implies that you must fix each bug which is not in the presentation layer for each platform you support - and that you must propagate those bugfixes to all stores you support. Even if your clients are
    trusted - a bug in the iPhone app could make the windows phone or the desktop app useless by accidentally breaking some data invariants. But to keep those database invariants intact, you must wrap all your operations into atomic transactions which will increase
    the complexity of the business logic.
    If you have a thin client and a logic tier between the presentation and data tier, you have a single point where you can ensure all data invariants and that you can easily debug and deploy since there is only one instance.
    Maybe these links may help also:

  • What is max capacity of Azure SQL database? 500GB? Possible to compress?

    Kenny_I

    Hi,
    on the contrary, this was announced a while back but for some reason the announcement was pulled out
    it seems there's support for compression though, check:
    http://thomaslarock.com/2014/06/microsoft-azure-sql-database-data-compression/
    I don't think you can compress 1TB data to SQL Azure.

  • Date field conversion in Import Manager

    Hi,
    I am getting the source Date field as 'Text' type and want to convert it to Date type.
    Is it possible in import Manager?
    What are the best way to manage the issue.
    Appreciate your reply
    regards,
    reo

    Hi Reo,
    The data types of source data values are automatically
    converted within the Source Values grid based on the data type of the
    destination field to which the source field is mapped, even when stored
    in the source data as text values.
    Original source values appear with their original data type in the Value
    column, and the converted values appear in the Converted Value
    column with the data type of the mapped destination field and the
    proper grid cell type for editing (e.g. text, numeric, measurement,
    currency, date, time, Boolean).<i> If necessary, individual values can then
    be manually edited to override errors or omissions in the source data.</i>
    Regards
    Neethu Joy.

  • Why does Oracle SQL query returning a date field without the time component

    Hi,
    I'm a novice SQL user & hv just installed Oracle SQL developer (Version 3.0.04, Build MAIN-04.34).
    I made the same SQL query using "Oracle SQL developer" & "TOAD for Oracle 9.0.1" but I got 2 different format on the same date field:
    On TOAD, I get the date field extracted as *04/26/2011 23:12:58*
    On Oracle, I get the date field extracted as *26/APR/11*
    Why is the Oracle result in a different format & missing the time component?
    Is there any option/preference that I need to set in Oracle SQL developer to get the full date/time format displayed?
    I've tried to set my the date format to DD/MON/RR HH12:MI:SSXFF AM under the preference -> database NLS but I still get the same format!
    Plse help!

  • Date fields in ILEARNING database

    Hi All,
    I am extracting data from the attempts table in ILEARNING directly using a user created for me to access the ILEARN schema objects i.e. Users, Attempt, Offering and Content object tables.
    One big problem I am faced with is getting the time portion from the dates fields in all these tables.
    For example the timestamp field when queried directly at the database will only provide date of attempt. However, when you run the same SQL in ilearning it will return the time portion in addition to the date within the same field.
    We are in the process of extracting our entire users and attempts data and creating a report to be ran over the ilearning client will fail as it can't handle the number of records we have particularly as regards to the attempt records.
    Any help, advice and guidance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Have you tried formatting the datetime value in your query? Something like TO_CHAR(timestamp, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')

  • Updating array data in sql database

    HI,
    Im facing problems in updating array data in SQL database.
    As of now, i am able to write an "insert" query and insert array data in an image datatype field. Im using image datatype because the array size is very big(around 80,000 x and y values).
    Althoug inserting data is easy im unable to write a query to update this data.
    Referring to the help of SQL server and Labview database connectivity toolkit, i came across a method of accessing image datatype....using textpointers, which are 16 bit binary values and using the WRITETEXT function instead of the UPDATE function.
    but the problem im facing is that ive to pass the array as a 2d string array in the query as a result the updated array is retrieved in the form of a string a
    nd not as an array. how do I get over this problem?

    Hi Pavitra,
    I'm not very clear on how you have inserted the data into your application, but I do know that when you call the UPDATETEXT or WRITETEXT function you use the TEXTPOINTERS to point to the first location of a 1d array. So, depending on how you've stored the data, you may have problems updating your data if you're looking at it as a 1d array instead of how you originally formatted it. If you are able to successfully access the data as a 1d array, you can use the database variant to data type vi and pass in a string array constant for the data type. This will convert the variant datatype into whatever you specify. You may have to index the row and column of the variant (you receive a 2d array of variant) first before you convert. If possible, can yo
    u provide some more detail and maybe some example code of how you perform the insert and plan to do the update? I can probably give you a better solution if I know how you are formatting the data. Thanks!

  • Database Type field in Data Services 3.0

    Hi,
    Now I'm using the IDSServer 4.5 JDBC-ODBC driver type 3 to connect BEA Acqualogic Data Services 3.0 to MS-Access 2003.
    I configured the IDSWaldbottDS DataSource with those parameters:
    Driver class name: ids.sql.IDSDriver
    URL: jdbc:ids://psnb161:12/conn?dsn=WaldbottDS
    I created the system DSN ODBC datasource called 'WaldbottDS' in Windows XP
    Based on the AdminServer log file, I can demostrate that the BEA connect successfully with MS Access:
    ####<Mar 5, 2008 9:14:37 AM ACT> <Info> <JDBC> <psnb161> <AdminServer> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <> <1204726477248> <BEA-001516> <Connection Pool "IDSwaldbottDS" connected to Database: "ACCESS", Version: "04.00.0000".>
    Now, In the project Explorer, I executed those commands:

    Inside the Create Physical Data Service dialog box, the Relational database objects is set to Tables and views.
    I select the Data Source Type as Relational. When I select IDSwaldbottDS as Data Source, nothing appears in "Database Type" field. If I press the next button, an error message appears:

    I recognize that the "Database Type" must be filled with the database version so I can continue configuring the physical Data Source for MS Access 2003.
    How can I solve this problem?

    [ There original post I made is incorrect.  The classes/shared libraries need only to be available to the server - they do not need to be available to ALDSP Studio, since the database is access via the server. Double check that the required classes/shared libraries for your jdbc driver are available to your server ]
    I searched our CR database for the stacktrace/error that you have and found serveral CR. Most of them indicate the problem was jar file(s) for the jdbc driver were not present in the client classpath. So - whatever you added to the server classpath (and PATH - if there were also shared object libraries) - we need to add those to the ALDSP Studio (eclipse) classpath (PATH).
    you can put the jar(s) in
    aldsp_3.0\eclipse-plugins\dsp\eclipse\plugins\com.bea.dsp.ide.external_3.0.0
    and modifying
    aldsp_3.0\eclipse-plugins\dsp\eclipse\plugins\com.bea.dsp.ide.external_3.0.0\META-INF/manifest.mf.
    There are two places in manifest.mf you will need to add the jar file - once under Bundle-Classpath and once under Export-Package.
