I want a datetime string till minute from Datetime in sql server. Means I want to extract string after minute from Datetime from sql server.
Like: 2011-11-02 13:35:14.613
and I want this from above datetime string -
2011-11-02 13:35
Try this, will give you the date in format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm as a string.
SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(16),'2011-11-02 13:35:14.613',120)
You can use your column name instead of the static date.
Your problem is a bit tricky, because the default formats which CONVERT() offers do not match your expected output. However, format style 120 has the following format:
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
This is almost what you want, minus the :ss at the end. To get rid of that, you can just SUBSTRING() it off after calling CONVERT():
SELECT SUBSTRING(CONVERT(VARCHAR, yourDateColumn, 120), 1, 16)

I am working in SQL Server 2012. My datetime column in a data set looks like this: 1512543210. The column is in int. I want to convert it to something like dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss e.g. 01-01-2019 12:12:12. But I can not do this. I am using following code:
select dateadd(SS, 1512543210, '01/01/1970 00:00:00') as datetime
from sampledb
after execute query i got this.
2017-12-06 00:00:00.0
but i want this format;
06-12-2017 00:00:00
You can use DATEADD to convert UNIX timestamp to DATETIME and FORMAT function to format it:
SELECT FORMAT(DATEADD(SECOND, 1512543210, '19700101'), 'dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss')
-- 06-12-2017 06:53:30
Having said that, Java has DateTimeFormatter class for formatting dates. And timestamps could be used to construct date objects directly.
You can use the CONVERT option
select CONVERT(varchar,dateadd(SS,DateTime,'01/01/1970 00:00:00') ,21) as datetime from sampledb
You can convert it in the database query as stated in comments and at least one other answer, but you can do it in Java, too:
Have a look at this example:
public static void main(String args[]) {
// take the moment represented by the int from the database
Instant instant = Instant.ofEpochSecond(1512543210);
// create a datetime object (modern java api)
LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.ofInstant(instant, ZoneId.systemDefault());
// create a formatter for the pattern of your choice
DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
// then print the datetime using the desired format
System.out.println(ldt.format(dtf));
}
This outputs
06-12-2017 07:53:30
in my IDE, please check that code in yours.
Please note that you don't need to do the DATEADD operation in SQL for this, just fetch the int value from the database by something like resultSet.getInt(...) and pass it to the Instant.ofEpochSeconds(...), it will calculate the time based on "1970-01-01 00:00:00".
Try this..
select FORMAT(dateadd(SS,1512543210,'01/01/1970 00:00:00'), N'MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss')
If you're on an older version of SQL Server, the format function is not available. An alternative is convert with style 105 (Italian) to get the MM-dd-yyyy part. Then you can take the last part of the 120 (odbc canonical) style to get the hh:mm:ss part:
select convert(varchar(30), dateadd(second, 1512543210, '1970-01-01'), 105) + ' ' +
substring(convert(varchar(30), dateadd(second, 1512543210, '1970-01-01'), 20), 12, 8)
-->

Example at rextester.
I'm using this query
SELECT convert(nvarchar(MAX), GETDATE(), 22) AS Date
Result: 08/05/16 12:23:08 PM
But I want result like this 8/5/2016 12:23:08 PM
dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss a
As of SQL Server 2012 the FORMAT function is available allowing you to specify the format of data types and is locale-aware so it will consider date formatting in relation to the session's language or optional culture parameter.
You can achieve your custom formatting like so: FORMAT(GETDATE(), 'd/M/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt')
Note your requested format dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss a is incorrect as in the case of single digits you want to remove zero padding i.e. 10/8/2016 not 10/08/2016. That's why in the format string I use only d and M.
Also, pay attention to #GarethD comment about the cost on larger datasets.
You could use the FORMAT function in T-SQL : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213505(v=sql.120).aspx
Here is the code :
SELECT FORMAT(GETDATE(), 'd/M/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt')
I have a TimeStamp (varchar(50),null) column in my SQL Server 2008 table which looks misleading by the name TimeStamp. I mean it appears as if it's a datatype timestamp but it's varchar.
But it has values like 201403240004 which looks like a date. Can I convert it into date and use?
Read online that timestamp is only a sequence of numbers and has nothing to do with date and time.
You can.
Providing that the format is YYYYMMDDHHmm, a simple way to do that would be:
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,
SUBSTRING([TimeStamp],1,4)+'-'+SUBSTRING([TimeStamp],5,2)+'-'
+SUBSTRING([TimeStamp],7,2)+' '+SUBSTRING([TimeStamp],9,2)+':'
+SUBSTRING([TimeStamp],11,2)+':00.000')
FROM Table
This will take this "timestamp" and first transform it to SQL-readable datetime string, i.e. for your example it would be 2014-03-24 00:04:00.000. Then, it will be easily converted to datetime.
Yes, your column should be convertible to DATETIME, but you may have to do the converison yourself if CONVERT() does support the format.
I can't tell from you example what the time format really is.
If it is YYYYMMDDHHMM them
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,LEFT('201403240004',8),112)
+CONVERT(DATETIME,SUBSTRING('201403240004',9,2)+ ':' + RIGHT('201403240004',2)+':00' ,108)
I'm trying to make my SQL Server table datetime columns save datetime with AM/PM. How to make SQL Server to save datetime with AM/PM format?
Right now it saves date like this: 2012-01-23 14:47:00.000
Is it possible to save it 2012-01-23 02:47:00.000 PM ??
Or does SQL Server save the date and time in this format (2012-01-23 14:47:00.000) all the time and I need to convert it just on output and input?
Is it even possible to save it in this format (2012-01-23 02:47:00.000 PM)? Or does SQL Server save datetime in 24 hour format?
thanks indeed for any help. sorry for language. ;)
Internally the date and time are stored as a number.
Whether it's displayed in a 12 or 24 hour clock is up to the program formatting it for display.
As Andrew said, Datetime format is stored not as string. so, you can use CONVERT function to get the datetime value in approprate format. for example,
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), GETDATE(), 100)
to learn more about datetime formatting, see this article
AM/PM serves only for visualization, if you need to display them, use CONVERT keyword:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar, YourDateTimeField, 109)
FROM YourTable
If you need to store AM/PM - it is makes no sense for datetime type, use varchar type instead.
You can simply use CONVERT function as following:
select CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),108)

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kathykam/archive/2006/09/29/773041.aspx
Depending on the accuracy of the datetime you are storing you might be able to clean it up with
REPLACE(CONVERT (varchar, YourDateTimeField, 109), ':00.0000000', ' ')
This will not work if your date field is populated with GETDATE() as that means it will contain seconds and milliseconds but it will work if the field is populated by a user and seconds and milliseconds are all zeros
Its SQL Server 2000.
I am starting with a character string in the format DD/MM/YYYY
Here's the table: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx
Sample:
select convert(datetime,'22/03/2005', 103)
SET DATEFORMAT dmy
SELECT CAST('22/03/2005' AS datetime)
or
SELECT convert(datetime,'22/03/2005', 103)
It depends your the context.
SQL Server understands '2010-06-21' as a date without requiring any convert/cast, so I would just use the string in the format 'yyyy-mm-dd' if that suits your needs.
Otherwise, the other responses using cast may be better if you need to compare with date fields containing hours as well.
