How can I convert the following VARCHAR(50) data:
01.01.2020 06:10:15
to a DateTime?
Assuming that the dates are in dd.mm.yyyy format, you can use the date and time style #104 (German) that uses this exact format:
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, '13.01.2020 06:10:15')
-- The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, '13.01.2020 06:10:15', 104)
-- 2020-01-13 06:10:15.000
You can try the below method:
SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '2017-08-25')
in place of the date under singled quotes you can place the variable name.
Try Below Code :
select convert(datetime, '01.01.2020 06:10:15', 104)

You can achieve by this way
Declare #Str VARCHAR(50) = '01.01.2020 06:10:15'
Select CONVERT(date, REPLACE(#Str, '.', '/'), 103)

How to convert datetime to this format : 2019/06/17 18:00:00.123
I use select convert(varchar, getdate(), 111) and select convert(varchar, getdate(), 108) together but I get only 2019/06/17 18:00:00
I can't find a combination to get format I need. Is there any way to get it?
You could use FORMAT to return the DATETIME in a specified format (assuming you use SQL-Server and want to return a string type).
DECLARE #example DATETIME = GETDATE();
SELECT FORMAT(#example, 'yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.fff');
use datetime2 data type and cast getdate to datetime2(3) for 3 digit precesion
select cast( getdate() as DATETIME2(3))
I have column field of varchar type in format dd.mm.yyyy. I am trying to convert this varchar field to date time in SQL server using
CONVERT(Datetime, LTRIM(RTRIM([Completion Date])), 102)
but it gives me error 'Conversion of varchar type to date type results in out of range value'
How to convert this field to datetime format?
use style 104 (dd.mm.yyyy) instead of 102 (yyyy.mm.dd)
CONVERT(Datetime, LTRIM(RTRIM([Completion Date])), 104)
Also the field of type varchar so there could be some bad dates which needs to be eliminated before the conversion .
If you are using SQL SERVER 2012+ then use TRY_CONVERT, for bad dates it will result NULL
TRY_CONVERT(Datetime, LTRIM(RTRIM([Completion Date])), 104)
You can always use this:
SELECT convert(datetime, '23/07/2009', 102)
You can also use this:
SELECT convert(date, '21.12.2016', 104)
You can use convert with date and datetime as below:
SELECT convert(datetime, '27-09-2013', 104)
SELECT convert(date, '27-09-2013', 104)
I have below sample data:
03202012 as date but the column datatype is Varchar.
I want to convert it to 2012-03-20 00:00:00.000 as Datetime.
I tried using
CAST(CONVERT(CHAR(10), Column, 101) AS DATETIME)
But I get an error:
The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
Complete code snippet to test:
DECLARE #Column VARCHAR(MAX) = '03202012'
SELECT CAST(CONVERT(CHAR(10), #Column, 101) AS DATETIME)
Use yyyyMMdd format, that always works:
DECLARE #myDateString varchar(10) = '03202012';
SELECT cast( substring(#myDateString, 5, 4)+
substring(#myDateString, 1, 2)+
substring(#myDateString, 3, 2) AS datetime);
I found below script help me solved my concern.
SELECT convert(datetime, STUFF(STUFF('31012016',3,0,'-'),6,0,'-'), 105)
Result: 2016-01-31 00:00:00.000
Thanks all for the effort. :D
In MySQL, you can use the STR_TO_DATE function to convert a string to a date. For your example, it would look like this
STR_TO_DATE("03-02-2012", "%m-%d-%Y");
Note that the format part of the string must match the format part of the date.
Edit: Just found out this is for SQL Server, but I assume this will work there as well.
I am trying to convert varchar date value to datetime format. Showing error
select CONVERT(DATETIME, Convert(varchar, 20/12/2009, 103 ),103)
error: Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.
Geetha
This should work:
select CONVERT(DATETIME, '20/12/2009', 103)
Not sure what your conversion TO varchar is for...
You need quotes around the string otherwise it treats it as an expression and tries to do the divisions:
select CONVERT(DATETIME, Convert(varchar, '20/12/2009', 103 ),103)
Although having said that only one Convert is really necessary so you can use
select CONVERT(DATETIME, '20/12/2009',103)
I would say you at least have to add quotes arround the string representing the date :
select CONVERT(DATETIME, Convert(varchar, '20/12/2009', 103 ),103)
(Maybe there's another problem too : I don't have an SQL Server instance available, so I cannot test)
You need to quote the date string:
select CONVERT(DATETIME, Convert(varchar, '20/12/2009', 103 ),103)
And you don't need two converts. This is should be enough:
select Convert(varchar, '20/12/2009', 103 )
I need to select a datetime column in a table. However, I want the select statement to return the datetime as a nvarchar with the format DD/MM/YYYY.
Here is the convert documentation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/cast-and-convert-transact-sql
Looking through that, it looks like you want style 103:
SELECT CONVERT(nvarchar(10), getdate(), 103)
This should help. It contains all (or most anyway) the different date formats
http://wiki.lessthandot.com/index.php/Formatting_Dates
I think you'd be better off handling the string conversion in client if possible.
You can convert a date in many formats, in your case :
CONVERT(NVARCHAR(10), YOUR_DATE_TIME, 103) => 15/09/2016
CONVERT(NVARCHAR(10), YOUR_DATE_TIME, 3) => 15/09/16
Syntax:
CONVERT('TheDataTypeYouWant', 'TheDateToConvert', 'TheCodeForFormating' * )
The code is an integer, here 3 is the third formatting option (without century), if you want the century just change the code to 103.
See more at: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_convert.asp
select CONVERT (NVARCHAR, GETDATE(), 103)
Look up convert in BOL.
Use Convert with the 103 option.
select convert(nvarchar(10), datefield, 103)
