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 downloaded a csv file for practising where date format is of two types as shown in picture.
the picture is here
I tried to change the format to yyyy-mm-dd in excel but it is not happening.
and also, I can't upload the file in database in my postgresql. I used the data type "date" but it says I need a different datestyle.
code I have used:
create table sample(
region varchar,
country varchar,
item_type varchar,
sales_channel varchar,
order_priority varchar,
order_date date,
order_id bigint,
ship_date date,
unit_sold int,
unit_price decimal,
unit_cost decimal,
total_revenue decimal,
total_cost decimal,
total_profit decimal);
copy sample from 'E:\postgresql\bin\5m Sales Records.csv'
delimiter ',' csv header;
ERROR: date/time field value out of range: "3/26/2016"
HINT: Perhaps you need a different "datestyle" setting.
CONTEXT: COPY sample, line 2, column ship_date: "3/26/2016"
SQL state: 22008
any guidance will be helpful, thanks
To summarize comments into sort of an answer:
create table csv_test(id integer, date_fld date);
--CSV file(csv_test.csv

3, 7/14/2021
show datestyle ;

\copy csv_test from '/home/aklaver/csv_test.csv' with csv;
COPY 3
select * from csv_test ;
id | date_fld
----+------------
1 | 2021-07-11
2 | 2021-07-11
3 | 2021-07-14
(3 rows)
set datestyle = 'iso, dmy';
SET
\copy csv_test from '/home/aklaver/csv_test.csv' with csv;
ERROR: date/time field value out of range: " '7/14/2021'"
HINT: Perhaps you need a different "datestyle" setting.
CONTEXT: COPY csv_test, line 3, column date_fld: " '7/14/2021'"
CSV values are text, so your date needs only to be in a correctly formatted date style. The second copy failed because the date style date order was 'dmy' and the value is 7/14/2021 and 14 is not a month number. This is why there is a date/month order setting, as 7/11/2021 could either be 'July 11 2021' or 'November 7 2021'. Postgres needs the user to tell it what ordering it is looking at.
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.

Simple convert seems to be working fine:
select convert(datetime, RegistrationDate)
Please find the db<>fiddle here.
My SQL statement is supposed to add 5 days to the date column and reformat the output to MM/DD/YYYY.
The calculation is working, but the format won't change, no matter what value I use.
The date column is defined as varchar(128) (I've used datetime and varchar(128) in the convert statement).
What am I doing wrong?
SELECT
FSI_Date, DATEADD("d", +5, CONVERT(DATE, FSI_Date, 101)) AS NEWDAY,
FROM
DB_test
FSI_Date NEWDAY
---------------------------
12/12/2015 2015-12-17
SQL Server will convert mm/dd/yyyy to a date, so, you just need the dateadd() and then convert back to your desired format.
Remove the final convert(...,101) if you want a natural date.
Example
Select FSI_Date
,NewDay = convert(varchar(10),DateAdd(DAY,5,#FSI_Date),101)
From DB_Test
Returns
FSI_Date NewDay
12/12/2015 12/17/2015
How to get the formatted date in SQL Server CE?
I have a column on a table that contains Date, but the column type is nvarchar
ID Date
----------------------
1 05/08/2012
2 10/08/2012
3 05/10/2012
The date format is MM/dd/yyyy, but it is in nvarchar.
Also, I want to have a WHERE clause to select the ID on a specific date. How can I do that? This is for SQL Server CE. Thank you very much.
you need to cover it use convert or cast function ...
cast(datecolumn as DateTime)
or
CONVERT(datetime,datecolumn,101)
For current date, you can use:
SELECT CONVERT(nvarchar,GETDATE(),101)
Output: (As of answered date)
05/31/2016
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.
