In SQL,
declare #date datetime ='Jul15'
select CONVERT(varchar(10),#date,105)
getting error
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character
string.
Please help
It is because Jul15 is not a valid SQL Server Date or DateTime value, hence the error when it is trying to convert it to date/datetime to assign it to a datetime variable.
Ideally you should be using ANSI-Standard when working with date or datetime values in SQL Server, ANSI-Standard Date value has the format of YYYYMMDD, therefore your statement should look something like this.....
declare #date datetime ='20150701'
select CONVERT(varchar(10),#date,105)

I have a date stored in varchar variable
I want to covert it to datetime format so that I could update the date to a column with type datetime
declare #dt_original as varchar(30)
set #dt_original original='1997-12-22 00:00:00.000'
I have tried
cast(#dt_original as date time)
Convert(datetime,#dt_original)
But nothing worked
Always throwing "conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string"
The idea of using convert was correct, but you're missing the style pattern matching your string. In this case, it's 121:
CONVERT(DATETIME, #dt_original, 121)
I saved the output of a JSON object in a CSV file. I want to import the data into SQL Server. I have tried to cast the JSON date column to a SQL Server datetime data type.
select cast('2009-06-18T16:44:20+0000' as datetime)
This causes an error to be raised: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
How can I convert a JSON date with timezone to a SQL Server datetime?
As far as I know, SQL Server recognizes timezone with colon. You have to reformat timezone part as follows:
SELECT CONVERT(datetime2, STUFF('2009-06-18T16:44:20+0000', 23, 0, ':'))
According to MSDN ISO 8601 has YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.nnnnnnn][{+|-}hh:mm] format.
I had a similar issue; I was getting the same error though the date format for my dates are a little different. The solution for me was to convert it to a DATETIME2 value, instead of just DATETIME. Had I not seen Pawel's answer, I would not have tried converting to DATETIME2.
The dates that I was getting were from a C# object that was serialized to JSON using JSON.Net. Below is a sample SQL script showing what the datetime values were and how to convert it.
DECLARE #effectiveDateJSON VARCHAR(MAX) =
'{"EffectiveDate":"2017-02-07T00:00:00-06:00", "CreateDate":"2017-02-07T16:32:12.9130892-06:00"}';
SELECT *
FROM OPENJSON(#effectiveDateJSON)
WITH (EffectiveDate DATETIME2 '$.EffectiveDate',
CreateDate DATETIME2 '$.CreateDate'
);
For a timezone aware conversion
declare #offset datetimeoffset = JSON_VALUE('{"d": "2021-01-01T00:00:00+03:00"}', '$.d')
declare #inCurrentTimezone datetime = #offset AT TIME ZONE CURRENT_TIMEZONE_ID()
select #inCurrentTimezone
Docs:AT TIME ZONE, datetimeoffset
In SQL Server I have a column called "dateCreation" defined as varchar(50) and I would like to convert it to datetime type. If I change the column's type to datetime with the MS SQL Server Management Studio I get the following warning:
'atPropostes' table
- Warning: Data might be lost converting column 'dateCreation' from 'varchar(50)'.
Then If I execute this:
SELECT CONVERT(Datetime, dateCreation, 120) as dateCreation from atPropostes -- to convert it to Datetime
I get the following error:
The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
What would be the best way to
(1) change the column type to datetime and
(2) convert all the registers from varchar(50) to Datetime type?
Thanks!
I assume that you are using SQL Server 2012
Try like this
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(DATETIME, dateCreation, 120) AS dateCreation
FROM atPropostes
Note: Please make sure that your date stored in varchar type have consistent date format. It should be something like yyyy-mm-dd or mm-dd-yyyy or.....
I have a varchar representing a datetime in this form :
dd-MM-yyyy HH:MI:SS AM
How can I convert it to datetime type ?
I have checked the list of standards of datetime here But I see no corresponding one to my format above.
Cast it directly
select CAST('10-02-2014 05:10:22 AM ' AS DATETIME)
Try this too..
select CONVERT(varchar(15),GETDATE(),105)+' '+CONVERT(varchar(30),CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),108))+' '+SUBSTRING(CONVERT(varchar(30),CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),100)),18,2)
In my database i got problem when converting varchar to datetime due to different format of datetime as per below.
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character
string.
I have 2 select clause as per below
Select Getutcdate()
Select top 1 localmachinetime from perfmon
both return following format respectively
2012-05-28 06:54:45.753>
28-05-2012 03:03:07
and when i try to convert it to datetime using CAST then it gives me error in second case as per below.
The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted
in an out-of-range value.
You can use convert with a Date/Time style.
convert(datetime, '28-05-2012 03:03:07', 105)
