I need to convert my Registrationdate(varchar)column in Table1 to Registrationdate(datetime)format in Table2. I need to use that in insertion code.
Insert Full_patient_reg (Patient_id,RegistrationDate,PatientName)
select a.PATIENT_ID,a.REGISTRATIONDATE,a.PATIENTNAME from hinai_patient a
where a.PATIENT_ID not in
(select Patient_id from Full_patient_reg where a.PATIENT_ID=Patient_id)
It cause the error like 'The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.'
Please suggest a code which act in insert code.
Dateformats (varchar)
2011-08-01 00:00:00
2000-11-16 07:39:44
2020-06-06 07:51:42.644
2020-05-26 06:55:38.08
Simple convert seems to be working fine:
select convert(datetime, RegistrationDate)
Please find the db<>fiddle here.

I am inputting 2 date values in order to filter out from SQL query.
EXEC [Report].[usp_EmployeeReport_Detail] '01-01-2017','31-08-2019'
I am inputting the date as MM/dd/yyyy and the
WHERE clause contains
(j.StartDate BETWEEN #BegDate AND #EndDate)
I m getting the below error when executing the query.
The conversion of a nvarchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
I tried to convert the datetime result using the below way as well.
SELECT CONVERT(datetime,01-31-2017,101)
This returns 1894-05-25 00:00:00.000 as the response. How its possible?
As #Damien_The_Unbeliever has said,01-31-2017 using the Numerical expression, which evaluates to -2047.
-2047 means the day minus 2047 days from 1900-01-01, so result of date will be 1894-05-25 00:00:00.000.
So your query SELECT CONVERT(datetime,01-31-2017,101) same as SELECT CONVERT(datetime,-2047,101)
sqlfiddle
You can use the ANSI compliant format YYYYMMDD
SELECT CONVERT(datetime,'20170131',101);
instead of
DD-MM-YYYY 01-31-2017.
Or just add ' to contain the date '01-31-2017' like #fa06 answered.
Try this: u've missed the quote in date:
SELECT CONVERT(datetime,'01-31-2017',101)
try below way
SELECT CONVERT(CHAR,GETDATE(),1 )
it returns 08/13/18
in your case you missed the quote as a result output that type shown
This looks easy solution but I can't seem to figure out as to why this is not working for me. I have a column that has data like this:
DateField
----------
12/16/2016
11/06/2016
All I want to do is to convert from varchar into a date column, but I am getting this error:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
Here is my simple query:
select convert (date, DateField) as convertedField
from myTable
Nothing wrong with the two examples you have given. There are some bad dates in your table which cannot be converted to date.
Use TRY_CONVERT function for bad dates it will return NULL
select TRY_Convert(date,DateField)
From myTable
You should always store dates in DATE/DATETIME datatype.
If you want to see the records which cannot be converted to date then
select DateField
From myTable
Where TRY_Convert(date,DateField) IS NULL
If working with a specific date format like mm/dd/yyyy You can specify it in Convert() function like the following
CONVERT(DATETIME,DATAFIELD,101)
If it still is not working, use TRY_CONVERT() to get which rows are throwing this exception:
SELECT *
FROM TBL
WHERE TRY_CONVERT(DATETIME, DATAFIELD, 101) IS NULL
This will return rows that cannot be converted
TRY_CONVERT() will return NULL if conversion failed
Read more about DateTime formats here:
SQL Server CONVERT() Function tutorial
Read TRY_CONVERT MSDN Article
You need to specify the format of date time while formatting. The date in your table is currently in U.S format so you should pass the third argument 101 in your convert function.
SELECT CONVERT(date,[DateField],101) FROM myTable;

I'm trying to filter some records by date but the datetime field seems to be stored as varchar and I'm struggling to convert it. Below is a sample of the data:
ID DateField
0002 14/04/1989 01:30
0003 16/04/1989 09:45
0004 16/04/1989 06:00
0005 19/04/1989 01:07
0006 21/04/1989 16:03
When I use
cast(Datefield as datetime)
I get the following error message:
Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
Edit - this does actually display results in datetime format but with the error message, why is that?
What's the best way to convert my datefield to valid datetime format? Thanks
Use CONVERT with Style
CONVERT(DATETIME,Datefield ,103)
To find bad data, see what this returns
set dateformat dmy
select Datefield from table where isdate(where)=0
You should always use proper DATETIME datatype to store datetime values
Try this. You need to add style part to identify the format
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, dates, 103)
FROM (VALUES ('14/04/1989 01:30'),
('16/04/1989 09:45'),
('16/04/1989 06:00'),
('19/04/1989 01:07'),
('21/04/1989 16:03')) cs (dates)
see CAST and CONVERT
you need to use
select CONVERT(datetime,your_Datefield ,103)
because your your_Datefield holding the datetime value in dd/mm/yy format.
follow the link, you'll get the explanation.
You can get the error because of by default datetime format is mm/dd/yyyy. So If your value have this format, then it easily convert without error.
For this you have to convert with format which convert the string into proper date-time format. For this cast will not work , but convert work. Here is link for more details.
As your format is dd/mm/yyyy, you need to use 103 format. Just check this to understand.
Select convert( datetime, getdate(), 103)
I have a table of data imported from CSV as follows:
FirstTimeTaken LatestTimeTaken Market Outcome Odds NumberOfBets VolumeMatched InPlay
03/08/2013 15:30:14 03/08/2013 15:32:28 Over/Under 3.5 Goals Over 3.5 Goals 5 10 118 1

28/07/2013 16:57:26 29/07/2013 21:35:55 Match Odds Barnsley 3 9 35 0
I had to import the first 2 columns in varchar format because I was getting errors trying to import as datetime. Now I have the data in a table, I need to convert the Column format from Varchar to Datetime. I tried:
ALTER TABLE #CSVTest_Data
ALTER COLUMN FirstTimeTaken DATETIME
ALTER TABLE #CSVTest_Data
ALTER COLUMN LatestTimeTaken DATETIME
This results in error: 'The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value'.
I know that removing the last row of data gets rid of the problem, so I suspect that the system thinks the date format is MM/DD/YYYY whereas it is actually DD/MM/YYYY.
The following query works fine:
SELECT convert(VARCHAR(50),FirstTimeTaken,105) from #CSVTest_Data
SELECT convert(VARCHAR(50),LatestTimeTaken,105) from #CSVTest_Data
But this does not convert the column format to datetime. I would appreciate some help on how to do this. Thanks.
Try using SET DATEFORMAT.
SET DATEFORMAT dmy
You can select the data from your #Temp table as follows:
SELECT
CONVERT(DATETIME, FirstTimeTaken, 103 ),
CONVERT(DATETIME, LatestTimeTaken, 103)
FROM #CSVTest_Data
This returns the fields as DATETIME data types. From there, do whatever you need to.
I have a table called SF_Data and there is a column called IN_Date, ID the data looks like:
ID IN_Date
1 9/8/2010
2 26/04/2011
3 20/09/2010
The datatatype of IN_Date is varchar(50).
I am trying to convert the IN_Date to mm/dd/yyyy format. I tried doing this:
Select convert(varchar,IN_Date,103) From dbo.SF_Data
But still the format doesn't change. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong
You need a convert to fix the data (to the correct datatype) before formatting...
Select
convert(varchar,
convert(date, IN_Date, 103),
101)
from dbo.SF_Data
The 3rd parameter to convert has no meaning when converting from varchar to varchar. So per #marc_s' comment, you'd have to convert the varchar to a datetime using the 103 format, and then from datetime to varchar specifying the 101 format:
Select convert(varchar(12),convert(datetime,IN_Date,103),101) From dbo.SF_Data
For example:
select convert(varchar(12),convert(datetime,'31/12/2001',103),101)
prints 12/31/2001.
