We are migrating SQL Server system into Oracle implementation.
The application design date type:
SQL Server is achieved with DATETIME datatype EMPLOYEE(EMPLOYEE_HIRED DATETIME). Some of the columns contains time component as well till seconds.
Oracle is achieved with DATE datatype EMPLOYEE(EMPLOYEE_HIRED DATE). As we know, oracle date can hold time component as well
While migrating data from SQL Server to Oracle using SSIS, The system is defaulting it to TIMESTAMP datatype of oracle. Can this be defaulted to DATE?
There are around 1000+ such columns.
Do we need to address them manually through data conversion tool box? Can this be automated?

I have a database in SQL Server that also has a related tabular database in Analysis Server. One of the tables has columns of type date in SQL Server:
If I run a SQL select in SQL Server select * from app_dates , I get the dates:
But if I run the equivalent in DAX evaluate app_dates I get date/time values instead of dates:
The problem is that my program detects automatically the types, and the type that Analysis Services returns is date/time instead of date.
How to tell Analysis Services that the column type should be date ?
Change the data type and data format of that column in your SSAS model. You can do this by viewing the properties of the column. I have an example below how to get the MM/DD/yyyy format you want without the time.

I recently migrated a database from SQL Server 2008 to 2016. One of the side effects is that a raw output of a datetime field now contains milliseconds whereas before it didn't. Is there a way I can globally change this behaviour so a simple select * would output it without milliseconds.
Yes. Create a view that casts the data to a datetime2 datatype without the milliseconds. Then use that view for your joins if you so desire.
Or you can change the datatype of that column to a datetime2 type that does not have the millisecond precision and rebuild the table.
I Used SELECT TO_CHAR(sysDate,'dy') FROM DUAL In oracle and I want to get the same output in SQL Server. I tried several ways and I want to know the date style value for this format.
CONVERT(VARCHAR(max),'2017-03-06T00:00:00.000',<DateStyle>)
When using SSIS in SQL Server 2005 to convert a FoxPro database to a SQL Server database, if the given FoxPro database has a date type, SSIS assumes it is an integer type. The only way to convert it to a dateTime type is to manually select this type. However, that is not practical to do for over 100 tables.
Thus, I have been using a workaround in which I use DTS on SQL Server 2000 which converts it to a smallDateTime, then make a backup, then a restore into SQL Server 2005.
This workaround is starting to be a little annoying.
So, my question is: Is there anyway to setup SSIS so that whenever it encounters a date type to automatically assume it should be converted to a dateTime in SQL Server and apply that rule across the board?
Update
To be specific, if I use the import/export wizard in SSIS, I get the following error:
Column information for the source and the destination data could not be retrieved, or the data types of source columns were not mapped correctly to those available on the destination provider.
Followed by a list of a given table's date columns.
If I manually set each one to a dateTime, it imports fine.
But I do not wish to do this for a hundred tables.
You could make a small FoxPro program that will loop through your list of tables and write out a SQL INSERT INTO statement for each record to a .sql file which you could then open from or paste into SQL Management Studio and execute. You could then control the date formats that will work with SQL Server's date type fields.
Something similar could be done in c#.
I'm trying to copy data from MySQL to SQL Server 2008.
My SSIS is generating error for time (DBTime) column in MySQL database. (cannot convert dbtime to dbtime2)
What datatype can i use in SQL server for time? I tired nvarchar, varchar and also tried data conversion task but i get same error.
You could use time or datetime.
EDIT:
Now that I see the type of data that MySQL uses for time what you probably want to do is to put the data into an nvarchar on the SQL Server side, and in SSIS you can invoke
TIME_FORMAT(timecol, '%H:%i:%S')
The SSIS tool lets you do specifications of how to manipulate individual columns before inserting into the other database using scripting.
