I am receiving a date and a time field from an access database and they are separate varchar fields. I am importing the data into an sql database. I want to display the data as a date time field but I can't get the data to format in the normal manner. I have come up with a substring to format the data but I am having problems getting it either into a cursor or a loop to get all of the data to update. I want to format my import table first before I move it to another table in sql. Here is code that I have for the date and time to format it. Any help would be appreciated.
Time
declare #result varchar(10), #time varchar(6), #hour varchar(2), #min varchar(2), #sec varchar (2);
Select #time = time_of_call from import
Set #hour = substring(#time, 1, 2);
Set #min = substring(#time, 3, 2);
Set #sec = substring(#time, 5, 2);
If #hour < '12'
Set #result = #hour + ':' + #min + ' AM';
else if #hour >= '12'
Set #result = #hour + ':' + #min + ' PM';
Select #result;
Date
declare #result varchar(12), #date varchar(8), #year varchar(4), #month varchar(2), #day varchar(2);
Select #date = date_of_call from import
Set #year = substring(#date, 1, 4);
Set #month = substring(#date, 5, 2);
Set #day = substring(#date, 7, 2);
Set #result = #month + '/' + #day + '/' + #year;
Select #result
--- some sample data
create table import (time_of_call varchar(6), date_of_call varchar(8));
insert into import values ('101112', '20121110');
insert into import values ('134526', '20130201');
--- the query
select cast(date_of_call + ' ' +
substring(time_of_call, 1, 2) + ':' +
substring(time_of_call, 3, 2) + ':' +
substring(time_of_call, 5, 2) as datetime) AsDateTime,
cast(date_of_call + ' ' +
substring(time_of_call, 1, 2) + ':' +
substring(time_of_call, 3, 2) + ':' +
substring(time_of_call, 5, 2) as datetime) AsString
from import;

I have specific time scenario which can be 4 digit, 6 digit or can be NULL or string as mentioned below. Here in scenario 3 & 4 my method of calculating datetime is not working and coming as NULL
Is there any way to get date with 00:00:00:000 as time for case 3 & 4?
& for 1 it should be 10:02:00:000
DECLARE #DATE VARCHAR(10) =CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)
DECLARE #Time1 VARCHAR(10) = '1002'
DECLARE #Time2 VARCHAR(10) = '160634'

DECLARE #Time4 VARCHAR(10) = ''
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(DATETIME, #DATE +' '

I would, personally, "pad out" the values to be 6 digits, inject the : characters, and then use TRY_CONVERT. Then you use ISNULL to return midmight for failed converions:
SELECT ISNULL(TRY_CONVERT(time(0),STUFF(STUFF(RIGHT('000000' + V.VarcharTime,6),5,0,':'),3,0,':')),'00:00:00')
FROM (VALUES(#Time1),
(#Time2),
(#Time3),
(#Time4))V(VarcharTime);
If 1002 is meant to be 10:02:00 rather than 00:10:02 then pad on the right, rather than the left:
SELECT ISNULL(TRY_CONVERT(time(0),STUFF(STUFF(LEFT(V.VarcharTime+'000000',6),5,0,':'),3,0,':')),'00:00:00')
FROM (VALUES(#Time1),
(#Time2),
(#Time3),
(#Time4))V(VarcharTime);

I have a set of data for example:
Part no Custom Format
1128005 \Machines\3D\PartNo(2)\PartNo(4)xx\PartNo(7)
11.88.006 \Machines\3D\PartNo(2)\PartNo+3(2)xx\PartNo+6(3)
I want to replace the variable set in the custom format define in it. The result i am looking for is
For Part no
1128005
the result is
\Machines\3D\11\1128xx\1128005
11.88.006
\Machines\3D\11\88xx\006
Any ideas?
Thanks

If my understanding is correct, below script should be what you want? But because it processes row by row, it can be very slow when dealing with millions of rows.
--declare #input varchar(50) = '11.88.006', #pattern varchar(255) = '\Machines\3D\PartNo(2)\PartNo+3(2)xx\PartNo+6(3)'

declare #tblPattern table (tmpKey int identity(1,1), result varchar(50), Position varchar(50), SkipCnt int, CharLength int, Sufix varchar(50))
declare #i int = 1, #output varchar(max) = '\Machines\3D\'
Declare #PatternXml XML
Set #PatternXml = N'<root><r>' + REPLACE(replace(#pattern, '\Machines\3D\', ''), '\', '</r><r>') + '</r></root>'
insert into #tblPattern(result)
select r.value('.', 'VARCHAR(MAX)') as t
from #PatternXml.nodes('//root//r') as records(r)
update #tblPattern set Position = REPLACE(result, 'PartNo', '')
, SkipCnt = CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('+', result, 1) > 0 THEN SUBSTRING(result, CHARINDEX('+', result, 1) + 1, CHARINDEX('(', result, 1) - CHARINDEX('+', result, 1) - 1) ELSE 0 END
, CharLength = SUBSTRING(result, CHARINDEX('(', result, 1) + 1, CHARINDEX(')', result, 1) - CHARINDEX('(', result, 1) - 1 )

if i pass start date:2013-06-01 and end date:2013-08-01 then getting proper out put
if i pass start date:2010-06-01 and end date:2013-08-01 (bigger date difference) then getting error:
Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type varchar.
i know having some problem with my function.but i am not able find out what is the issue with my function.if any one please help me to find out
try this .. i think your #Mns should be the problem
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[testfunction] (#dec NUMERIC(18, 2)) RETURNS Varchar(50)

Date and Time datatype is varchar
Tried Query
select Convert(datetime, Convert(char(10), date, 103) + ' ' + Convert(char(8), time, 108), 103) from table
SELECT
CAST(
DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, date)) + ' ' +

It showing error as out of range value.
How to solve this issue.
Need Sql Query Help
First off, why are you storing a DATETIME in a VARCHAR?
This should be able to help
DECLARE #Table TABLE(
Val VARCHAR(20)
)
INSERT INTO #Table (Val) SELECT '20060701 090102'
INSERT INTO #Table (Val) SELECT '20060702 020000'
INSERT INTO #Table (Val) SELECT '20060703 180000'
SELECT *,
CAST(SUBSTRING(Val,1,8) + ' ' + SUBSTRING(Val,10,2) + ':' + SUBSTRING(Val,12,2) + ':' + SUBSTRING(Val,14,2) AS DATETIME)
FROM #Table
I came across a similar issue a few years ago, when importing HL7 messages. Here is a copy of the function I used. It creates a DateTime string with the time component correctly separated into hh:mm:ss, which is needed for the cast to DateTime.
CREATE FUNCTION fn_StringDateTietoDateTime
(
#Date varchar(15)
)
RETURNS datetime
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #Result DATETIME
SET #Result = NULL
If len(#Date) > 0
BEGIN
SELECT #Result = CAST(SUBSTRING(#hl7date, 1, 8) + ' ' + SUBSTRING(#hl7date, 10, 2) + ':' +
SUBSTRING(#date, 12, 2) + ':' + SUBSTRING(#date,14, 2) AS DATETIME)
END
RETURN #RESULT
END
