This works
SELECT
LEFT(DATENAME(DAY, GETDATE()), 3) + '-' +
LEFT(DATENAME(MONTH, GETDATE()), 3) + ' ' + '-' +
RIGHT('00' + CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR), 2)
This also works
SELECT CONVERT(TIME(0), GETDATE())
But when I combine both then I get an error
SELECT
LEFT(DATENAME(DAY, GETDATE()), 3) + '-' +
LEFT(DATENAME(MONTH, GETDATE()), 3) + ' ' + '-' +
RIGHT('00' + CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR), 2) + ' '
CONVERT(TIME(0), GETDATE())
This doesn't answer your question, but your first query is overcomplicated. I don't understand the date format, but whatever you need, this is a simpler method:
SELECT DATENAME(DAY, GETDATE()) + '-' +
LEFT(DATENAME(MONTH, GETDATE()), 3) + ' -' +
RIGHT(DATENAME(YEAR, GETDATE()), 2)
Notes:
The DAY component is never more than 2 characters, so LEFT(. . . , 3) is unnecessary.
' ' + '-' can be simplified to ' -'.
You can use DATENAME() on the year as well.
You can try below - you need to add + operator and also cast it to varchar()
SELECT LEFT(DATENAME(Day,GETDATE()),3) + '-' +
LEFT(DATENAME(MONTH,GETDATE()),3) + ' ' + '-' +
RIGHT('00' + CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR),2) + ' ' +
cast(convert(time(0),getDate()) as varchar(10))

I have a query where I am pulling in three fields, and converting them to a date. I'm hoping to then run a comparison within the same select statement, but I get an invalid column name on the field I'm attempting to compare. The order by is working correctly though. /scratching_head

This statement returns:
Invalid column name: 'UTOFF'
The problem is that the alias utoff isn't known at the time when the where clause is parsed.
One way to get around it is to wrap the query in a common table expression and apply the where clause to that:
WITH CTE AS (
SELECT UTCSID, UTLCID,
/* put utonmm, utondd, utonyy together as a date called uton */
CAST(
CAST(UTONMM as varchar) + '/' +
CAST(UTONDD as varchar) + '/' +
CASE WHEN UTONCV = '1'
THEN RIGHT('20' + CONVERT(varchar(4), RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(varchar(4), UTONYY),2)),4)
ELSE RIGHT('19' + CONVERT(varchar(4), UTONYY),4)
END
AS DATETIME) AS UTON,
/* put utofmm, utofdd, utofyy together as a date called utoff */
CAST(
CASE WHEN UTOFMM > '0'
THEN
CAST(UTOFMM as varchar) + '/' +
CAST(UTOFDD as varchar) + '/' +
CASE WHEN UTOFCV = '1'
THEN RIGHT('20' + CONVERT(varchar(4), RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(varchar(4), UTOFYY),2)),4)

END

I want to concatenate two TIME columns and show as one column.
Example:
FromTime: 9:00
ToTime: 12:00
Result should be:
9:00-12:00
Generic SQL:
-- hh:mm:ss
SELECT 'result:' + CONVERT(CHAR(6), FromTime, 8) + '-' + CONVERT(CHAR(6), ToTime)
FROM yourTable
MySQL:
-- hh:mm
SELECT 'result:' + DATE_FORMAT(FromTime, '%H:%i') + '-' + DATE_FORMAT(ToTime, '%H:%i')
FROM yourTable
SQL Server:
-- hh:mm
SELECT 'result:' + convert(char(2), DATEPART(hh, FromTime)) + ':' +
CONVERT(CHAR(2), DATEPART(mm, FromTime)) + '-' +
CONVERT(CHAR(2), DATEPART(hh, ToTime)) + ':' +

You can use convert
select convert(VARCHAR(5),getdate(),108) + ' - ' + convert(VARCHAR(5),getdate()-1,108)
I have a MS SQL 2005 server. I have a database by name STAT & 2 columns by name STARTRUN & ENDRUN and have many rows in it.
STARTRUN ENDRUN
20110910200007 20110910200017
20110910200028 20110910200037
20110910200048 20110910200057
It shows the start time and end time of an activity and is in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format. The datatype for this column is VARCHAR. I am trying to write a SQL script where i can retrieve the duration of each activity and dump it to a csv file as shown below.
START DATE START TIME END DATE END TIME DURATION

Please help me.
First you'd have to find a way to convert your format to a datetime. The subquery below does that by making it look like an ODBC canonical date and then calling convert. Then you can combine more convert with datediff to get your desired output format.
select convert(varchar, startrun, 105) + ' ' +
substring(convert(varchar, startrun, 109), 13, 8) + ' ' +
substring(convert(varchar, startrun, 109), 25, 2)
, convert(varchar, endrun, 105) + ' ' +
substring(convert(varchar, endrun, 109), 13, 8) + ' ' +
substring(convert(varchar, endrun, 109), 25, 2)
, substring('0' + cast(datediff(hh, startrun, endrun)
as varchar), 1, 2) + ':' +
substring('0' + cast(datediff(mi, startrun, endrun) % 60
as varchar), 1, 2) + ':' +
substring('0' + cast(datediff(s, startrun, endrun) % 60*60
as varchar), 1, 2)
from (
select convert(datetime,
substring(startrun,1,4) + '-' +
substring(startrun,5,2) + '-' +
substring(startrun,7,2) + ' ' +
substring(startrun,9,2) + ':' +
substring(startrun,11,2) + ':' +
substring(startrun,13,2),
120) as startrun
, convert(datetime,
substring(endrun,1,4) + '-' +
substring(endrun,5,2) + '-' +
substring(endrun,7,2) + ' ' +
substring(endrun,9,2) + ':' +
substring(endrun,11,2) + ':' +
substring(endrun,13,2),
120) as endrun
from #YourTable
) as SubQueryAlias
Here's a working example at SE Data. See this question for exporting the result of a query to a CSV file.
Can someone help me with SQL Date format?
The following statement
SELECT convert(VARCHAR(20),GETDATE(),113)
returns
04 Aug 2011 08:08:08.
I want the results like
Aug-04-2011 08:08:08
Thank you!
SELECT
LEFT(DATENAME(MONTH, Date), 3) + '-' +
RIGHT(100 + DAY(Date), 2) + '-' +
DATENAME(YEAR, Date) + ' ' +
CONVERT(varchar, Date, 108)
FROM (SELECT Date = GETDATE()) s
Off the top of my head, I think its:
SELECT convert(VARCHAR(20),GETDATE(),120)
EDIT:
This will work:
SELECT datename(day, GETDATE()) + '-'
+ substring(datename(month, GETDATE()),0,4) + '-'
+ datename(year, GETDATE()) + ' '
+ datename(hh, GETDATE()) + ':'
+ datename(mi, GETDATE()) + ':'
+ datename(ss, GETDATE())
SECOND EDIT:
SELECT substring(datename(month, GETDATE()),0,4) + '-'
+ datename(day, GETDATE()) + '-'
+ datename(year, GETDATE()) + ' '
+ datename(hh, GETDATE()) + ':'
+ datename(mi, GETDATE()) + ':'
+ datename(ss, GETDATE())
THIRD EDIT:
select substring(datename(month, GETDATE()),0,4) + '-'
+ right(datename(day, GETDATE())+100,2) + '-'
+ datename(year, GETDATE()) + ' '
+ right(datename(hh, GETDATE())+100,2) + ':'
+ right(datename(mi, GETDATE())+100,2) + ':'
+ right(datename(ss, GETDATE())+100,2)
The built-in convert won't allow you to format your date exactly as you desire, unfortunately.
With a little manipulation, you can get there though:
SELECT stuff(stuff(convert(VARCHAR(20),GETDATE(),113), 3, 1, '-'), 7, 1, '-')
You could put this in a UDF and call that whenever you want your date formatted in this manner.
What is the DATE FORMAT CODE for "yyyy.mm.dd.hh.mm.ss"?
I know that 34 (date format code) is "yyyymmddhhmmss", but what about the code for "yyyy.mm.dd.hh.mm.ss"?
This is on SQL 2005.
CAST and CONVERT on MSDN says "no".
You have to CONVERT twice with styles 102 and 108, with a concatenation and REPLACE.
Where did you get the "34" date format code from?
As gbn said, using one of the existing formats with some string concatenation would work. Another option is:
SELECT
CAST(YEAR(my_date) AS CHAR(4)) + '.' +
RIGHT('0' + CAST(MONTH(my_date) AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + '.' +
RIGHT('0' + CAST(DAY(my_date) AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + '.' +
RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEPART(HOUR, my_date) AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + '.' +
RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEPART(MINUTE, my_date) AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + '.' +
RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEPART(SECOND, my_date) AS VARCHAR(2)), 2)
Considering
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(16), GETDATE(), 120) AS [YYYY-MM-DD]
---returns--- yyyy-mm-dd hh:ss
and you can use REPLACE to convert strings
REPLACE('a b c',' ','.')
----returns--- a.b.c
and you can recursively stack things you get to this
Select (
replace((replace((replace(CONVERT(VARCHAR(16), GETDATE(), 120),' ','.')), ':', '.')), '-', '.')
)
which returns: yyyy.mm.dd.hh.ss
works great for datetime stamps or filenames!
