Hi Pinal,

I need to calculate the number of days by doing this calculation
MTRY_DT – (YR_NUM+MO_NUM+Last day of the month) ,Where MTRY_DT = Maturity Date . So,how can I do this for all the rows that I have.
I have 6446 rows.

Thanks in Advance,
Samyuktha

You cannot add/update value for Timestamp datatype

By: madhivanan

madhivanan — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:22:46 +0000

Note that DATE datatype is available from version 2008 onwards. You can use datetime datatype instead

Hi,

How Can I Insert / modify current date time in TimeStamp Column.

when I try to update timestamp column, its giving msg
Msg 272, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot update a timestamp column.

when i try to insert timestamp column, its giving msg
Msg 273, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot insert an explicit value into a timestamp column. Use INSERT with a column list to exclude the timestamp column, or insert a DEFAULT into the timestamp column.

Thanks in advance,
Vijay Vegi

I have one datetime variable. It contains the value like {10/10/2011 2:33:33 PM}. How can i compare this value with the other datetime variable’s value which is like {2011-10-10 14:33:33.990} ?

This both are the same time but still i can’t compare it. Help me how to do it?

Thanks in advance,

FWIW, I was connecting to a non-SQL DB (PROGRESS still lives!) while creating a DTS package through ODBC and it does make a difference regarding which one you use.

GETDATE() was giving me an error until I tried {fn NOW()} which worked like a charm.

Thanks to this page, I was able to find a solution though.

Dont specify the date. It will work work if you run later. The general approcah is

select * from tablename where datecolumn>=dateadd(day,datediff(day,0,getdate()),0) and datecol

I changed datatype to datetime, and tried with the code, but it does not work, please say what to do?

By: madhivanan

madhivanan — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 12:37:11 +0000

Yes. It will be a problem. You can not do any date related operations on varchar. You should always use proper DATETIME datatype. Refer this http://beyondrelational.com/blogs/madhivanan/archive/2010/06/03/understanding-datetime-column-part-iv.aspx
