I'd like to take the current date in Sybase and set the time to 13:30:00.
Let say I do
select getdate()
12/5/2014 4:06:24.670 PM
I want to return
12/5/2014 13:30:00 PM
How do I transform that?
I did not have time to test this but i would suggest you convert the date part of getdate() into mm/dd/YYYY and then add "13:30:00 PM" before you convert it back from a string into a datetime object.
select convert(datetime,convert(varchar, getdate(), 101) + "13:30:00 PM")

I have a column that holds a string time (i.e. 8:00 AM) and I need to convert that to an actual Time and be able to append it onto a DateTime field (which is in DateTime format, not string).
Example:
Date field = 2019-06-25 00:00:00.000
Time field = 8:00 AM
Desired result: 2019-06-25 08:00:00.000
Does anyone know how I can accomplish this in SQL?
I know some people still suggest doing it in code, but I'm writing a query that does a comparison between two DateTime fields (one of which has the integrated DateTime with the proper time and the other in which the date and time are separate)
Using DATETIME + CAST(timevariable AS DATETIME) will return your expected result:
DECLARE #Time AS VARCHAR (10) = '8:00 AM'
DECLARE #DateField AS DATETIME = '2019-06-25 00:00:00.000';
SELECT #DateField + CAST(#time AS DATETIME)

It is also work with 1:00 PM
I'm trying to convert a varchar field to datetime. The data in the varchar field looks like this dd/mm/yyyy hh.mm AM/PM.
I'm actually trying to extract the date part & time part and convert them to date and time respectively.
And I use the below query to extract the date part from the varchar and convert it to date.
SELECT DISTINCT LEFT([Start Date], 10)
,CASE WHEN ISDATE(LEFT([Start Date], 10)) = 1
THEN CONVERT(DATETIME, LEFT([Start Date], 10), 120)
END
,ISDATE(LEFT([Start Date], 10))
FROM [dbo].[TestTable]
I have timestamp in the format mentioned above for entire August.
But the query gives me the result in yyyy-dd-mm format and the date are converted to date format only till 12 Aug'15. Date after 12 of Aug is null. I know it's because, in the case statement they are returned 0. How can I convert those values also to date?
Any suggestions to convert all the values to yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss will be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
You could use SET DATEFORMAT as lad2025 suggested.
SET DATEFORMAT dmy
Or you can use the following in your CONVERT()
DECLARE #date VARCHAR(16) = '13/08/2015 11:13';
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, #date, 103)
103 is the code for dd/mm/yyyy.
Im trying to insert Checkout Date in dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi:ss format using the following query:
insert into Rawtransactions
(Card Number,Processing Date,CurrencyCode,Checkout Date
)
Values
(
#NewCardNumber,getdate(),'USD',CONVERT(VARCHAR(24),GETDATE(),113)
)
But It inserted date in this format 02 Sep 2015 14:45:09:390 instead of 02/09/2015 14:45:09:390. What is the right syntax for this?
EDITED - Please note that the Checkout Date is an nvarchar field and the Schema cant be changed now. I want to know how can I insert date in this field?
Try like this:
select CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 103) + ' ' + convert(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 14)
However it is not recommended to store dates as varchar() as it may lead you to some formatting issues like this in future.
Dates are dates. You can't control the format in which the database stores them; they're just values with a date data type. If you want to use them later in an application and display them a certain way, then that is up to your application.
How to turn DD/MM/YYYY 00:00:0000 to MM/YYYY and keep it as date format and not string in MS SQL
i have tried many options but still did not find the right one.
Simply you cannot keep date as mm/yyyy as a date/datetime. But you could keep it as a string and also convert when needed back to a date as below.
Sql-Server Fiddle Example
declare #dt datetime = getdate(),
#mmyyyy varchar(7)
--To format as mm/yyyy
select #mmyyyy = right(convert(varchar(10), #dt, 103),7)
--To convert back to datetime type from mm/yyyy varchar
select #mmyyyy [mm/yyyy],
convert(datetime,'01/'+ #mmyyyy,103) back_To_Date
I have a datetime column in SQL Server that gives me data like this 10/27/2010 12:57:49 pm and I want to query this column but just have SQL Server return the day month and year - eg. 2010 10 27 or something like that.
What are the functions I should be researching?
Should I be trying to convert to another date data type? Or simply convert it to a string?
Have a look at CONVERT. The 3rd parameter is the date time style you want to convert to.
e.g.
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 103) -- dd/MM/yyyy format
Try this:
print cast(getdate() as date )
If you need the result in a date format you can use:
Select Convert(DateTime, Convert(VarChar, GetDate(), 101))
In addition to CAST and CONVERT, if you are using Sql Server 2008, you can convert to a date type (or use that type to start with), and then optionally convert again to a varchar:
declare #myDate date
set #myDate = getdate()
print cast(#myDate as varchar(10))
output:
2012-01-17
If you have a datetime field that gives the results like this 2018-03-30 08:43:28.177
Proposed: and you want to change the datetime to date to appear like 2018-03-30
cast(YourDateField as Date)
With SQL Server 2005, I would use this:
select replace(convert(char(10),getdate(),102),'.',' ')
Results: 2015 03 05
The shortest date format of mm/dd/yy can be obtained with:
Select Convert(varchar(8),getdate(),1)
Just add date keyword.
E.g. select date(orderdate),count(1) from orders where orderdate > '2014-10-01' group by date(orderdate);
orderdate is in date time.
This query will show the orders for that date rather than datetime.
Date keyword applied on a datetime column will change it to short date.
For any versions of SQL Server: dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, getdate()), 0)
The original DateTime field : [_Date_Time]
The converted to Shortdate : 'Short_Date'
CONVERT(date, [_Date_Time]) AS 'Short_Date'
