What is the formula you used to get this number?

So what is the exact output you are expecting from this date value?

Could you explain what exactly you are trying to achieve? Probably you may not need to do what you are trying to do now.

SQL Server stores a DATETIME value...

Try this:

SSET DATEFORMAT DMY;

SET NOCOUNT ON;

DECLARE @t TABLE (SaleDate DATETIME, ItemCode INT)

INSERT INTO @t (SaleDate, ItemCode) SELECT '27-09-2008 09:30:00',1

INSERT INTO @t (SaleDate, ItemCode) SELECT '27-09-2008 09:45:00',1

INSERT INTO @t (SaleDate, ItemCode)...

Try this:

DECLARE @date DATETIME

SELECT @date = '5/31/2009'

SELECT @date = DATEADD(year, -1, @date) + 1

SELECT @date AS date

/*

date

-----------------------

2008-06-01 00:00:00.000

*/

or is it what you are looking for?

select cast(getdate() as int)

/*

39717

*/

select cast(39717 as datetime)

/*

2008-09-28 00:00:00.000

*/

Also, if you have the Management Studio of SQL Server 2008, it has an option to generate the INSERT scripts for the data...

It returns the number of days from '1900-01-01'

Jim,

You are right. I am not able to download as well.

Let me contact Steve, he might be able to help.

May be there is a misunderstanding. On the top of each example, (on the left side) there is a hyper link that helps you to download a text file...

The title of each example that says "example #" is a link. You can click on that to download the source code of each example.

I think it will be lot easier if you use the XML approach. You can return a rowset containing the values in your delimited string and use that directly in...

Try this:

-- '2008-09-24 14:19:56.293' I WANT '2008-09-24 14:00:00.000'

DECLARE @d DATETIME

SELECT @d = '2008-09-24 14:19:56.293'

SELECT DATEADD(hour, DATEPART(hour, @d), DATEADD(d, 0, DATEDIFF(d, 0, @d)))

/*

output:

-----------------------

2008-09-24 14:00:00.000

When SQL Server reads a row from a table, it applies a SHARED lock on the row (under default transaction isolation level: READ COMMITTED). If the row is already locked...

From inside your trigger, you can access the INSERTED virtual table. This table will have the same structure as your main table and contain only the newly inserted data. You...
