I have this code in my view in SQL Server to convert datetime to varchar.
convert(datetime, Product_Info.created_date, 101)
but I get this error
Update cannot proceed due to validation errors.
Please correct the following errors and try again.
SQL70569 :: A column name is required.
What's wrong? Please advice.
Change CONVERT(DATETIME to CONVERT(VARCHAR(10)
For MM/DD/YYYY format (USA):
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101) AS [MM/DD/YYYY]
Gets you '02/12/2016'
For MMDDYYYY:
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101), '/', '') AS [MMDDYYYY]
Gets you '02122016'

Dates in DD/mm/yyyy format stored in a varchar(max) column need to be converted to yyyymmdd format.
The below options to convert / cast are not supported.
CONVERT(VARCHAR(19), CONVERT(DATETIME, wfm.date, 3), 112)
CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), CAST(wfm.date AS DATETIME2), 112)
CAST(CAST(wfm.date AS DATETIME2(15)) AS DATETIME)
I'm getting an error message for CONVERT syntax:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
For CAST syntax, I'm getting this error:
Line 1: Specified scale 15 is invalid. 'dd/mm/yyyy/ in varchar to be converted to yyyymmdd format
Ideally, don't store dates as a varchar, store them as a date and worry about the format they are displayed in in your presentation layer. Therefore, you should just do:
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(date,YourVarcharMAXDate,103);
If you must get the format yyyyMM`` (i don't recommend, change your data type of your column todate), then you can use a furterhCONVERT`:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(8),TRY_CONVERT(date,YourVarcharMAXDate,103),112);
If the data engine can't convert the date, due to it being an invalid format, TRY_CONVERT will return NULL; you'll need to fix those values (make them valid). Another good reason why not to use a varchar to store a date.
Maybe this helps
DECLARE #dt DATETIME= '2019-12-31 14:43:35.863';
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #dt, 11) s1,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), #dt, 111) s2;
You could always just use substring for this. Example is shown below.
DECLARE #samples TABLE
(
Dates NVARCHAR(50)
)
INSERT INTO #samples VALUES
('10/11/2018'),
('12/11/2018'),
('15/11/2018'),
('17/11/2018'),
('19/11/2018'),
('20/11/2018')
SELECT
SUBSTRING(Dates, 7,4) +
SUBSTRING(Dates, 4,2) +
SUBSTRING(Dates, 1,2) as [NewDate]
FROM #samples
Output will be a list of strings with your required format. This won't validate for you, but you can always try convert these to a date using CAST and it should correctly cast the yyyyMMdd to a date if the date is correct.
If you're using SQL Server 2016 or newer, you can use PARSE and FORMAT to do this quite easily:
SELECT
FORMAT(PARSE(wfm.Date AS DATE USING 'de-DE'), 'yyyyMMdd')
FROM
dbo.WhateverYourTableNameIS
The dd/mm/yyyy format is the format used e.g. in Germany, that's why I'm using the de-DE culture to convert that string to a DATE. Then you can format it using the usual formatting strings as used in C#/.NET.
select convert(varchar, convert(datetime, wfm.date, 103), 112)
Basically I want to convert date format from 'yyyy-mm-dd' to 'mm/dd/yyyy'.
Now here is the thing :
I used this to select current date.
Select GetDate();
Which shows the format as : 2015-07-10 14:29:30.227
Then :
Select CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(), 101)
It is working and displaying the result as : 07/10/2015
Now when I try to do this:
Select CONVERT(DATE, CAST('2015-06-15' AS DATE), 101)
And it does not show the desired result. Instead it shows the same format as : 2015-06-15
Any suggesstion would be of great help!!
Try this:
Select CONVERT(Varchar(10), CAST('2015-06-15' AS DATE), 101)
I want to convert this nvarchar column to Datetime format:
"29/12/14 07:46:20 PM"
This style is good but has no time:
SELECT CONVERT(datetime, nvarcharDateColumn, 3) AS [DD/MM/YY]
How can i convert it and keep all the date parts (date+time) ??
A datetime data type in SQL Server has no "format". It is natively a 8-byte binary value. To convert the nvarchar string to datetime, use CONVERT with the nvarchar column as the second parameter:
SELECT CONVERT(datetime, nvarcharColumnWithDateAndTime, 3) AS NativeDateTime
FROM dbo.YourTable;
Note the datetime format displayed by this query is determined by the application your are using, not the SQL Server database. Also, consider changing the table data type to datetime to avoid data integrity issues; nvarchar will allow storing invalid dates.
This one has time, however includes Miliseconds...it could be too much :)
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), GETDATE(), 131)
This is a harder task that I would have thought. This is the best I could come up with:
DECLARE #MyDate DATETIME
SET #MyDate = GETDATE()
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), #MyDate, 3) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), CONVERT(TIME, #MyDate), 100)
I'm trying to convert a date in a varchar column in the dd/mm/yyyy format into the datetime dd/mm/yyyy format, so then I can run date range queries on the data.
So far I have the following which is not working
CONVERT(varchar, CAST(date_started AS datetime), 103)
I have also tried
convert(date_started as datetime, 103)
I need to make sure the output is as dd/mm/yyyy as we're in the UK and not the mm/dd/yyyy format
I think you are after this:
CONVERT(datetime, date_as_string, 103)
Notice, that datetime hasn't any format. You think about its presentation. To get the data of datetime in an appropriate format you can use
CONVERT(varchar, date_as_datetime, 103)
Try this code:
CONVERT(varchar(15), date_started, 103)
I think that more accurate is this syntax:
SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(10), GETDATE(), 103)
I add SELECT and GETDATE() for instant testing purposes :)
If you want to return a format mm/dd/yyyy, then use 101 instead of 103:
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), [MyDate], 101)
You can do like this:
SELECT convert(datetime, convert(date, '27-09-2013', 103), 103)
I am facing problem in DateTime converstion.
My input is 09/22/2011, I need to convert into 20110922.
I tried the below one, but failed.
Select CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),'09/22/2011' , 112) as DateConv
Here you go:
SET DATEFORMAT mdy
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), CAST('09/22/2011' as DATETIME) , 112) AS DateConv
If your input is actually a dateTime variable like you said (but didn't show in your code example), you can simplify this down to:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), #myDate , 112) AS DateConv
This will do the trick:
select year('09/22/2011') * 10000 + month('09/22/2011') * 100 + day('09/22/2011')
Without any other information, SQL is interpreting the '09/22/2011' as a varchar already, and just passes the data through (ignoring CONVERT's style argument). If you use the following line:
SELECT CONVERT (VARCHAR (8), CAST ('09/22/2011' as DATETIME), 112) as DateConv
it should work as expected since it will then view the '09/22/2011' as a date value. If you were getting the date from a column in a table, it would already know the type and you will not need to worry about the CAST portion of the expression, just use the column name.
