 No, no, no. You're just plain wrong.
GETDATE() is a system function, not field data. It's no different in effect to you typing SELECT 3. This doesn't mean that every integer field defaults to 3. Tell you what, as a test, run the following script:
USE [<<database>>]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].Test(
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Text] NVARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
[Created] [datetime] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Test] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF,
STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF,
IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF,
ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON,
ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON)
ON [PRIMARY]
)
GO
INSERT INTO Test([Text]) VALUES ('Hello')
GOGuess what. Created doesn't get a default value. What you do get is an error:
Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Created', table 'database.dbo.Test'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
So no default value there then. Please, before you pass information like this along, will you please check to see if you are right?
[EDIT]Rocky# is right - we are talking at cross purposes here, and he's entirely right to say that there is no date only type in SQL Servers up to 2005. 2K8 has a date type which stores the date only, but datetime does what it says on the tin and has the time portion as part of it.
My apologies for any confusion caused by my misreading of Rocky#'s post.[/EDIT]

what else would it give, trying to insert a null into a not null column,
try this
Insert into Test(text, created)
values ('my test', CAST('7/23/2008' as datetime))
The result looks like this on my end: 7/23/2008 12:00:00 AM
My point was simple, if u r getting a dateTime object, it will ALWAYS show the time, if u dont wanna see the time then cast it to varchar or something but datetime will always show u the time. here in the above query I'm not giving the time but its still comming. Thats the simple point I was talking abt. Pardon me if this doesnt satisfy the guys original question but my point was this alright! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
I deeply respect ur place Pete, I dont mean any offense alright

Crap. My apologies - I just reread your original post, and it seems you and I were talking about different things. So sorry - and I will amend my answers to reflect this.
I really shouldn't post answers late at night.

I have a solution for your question hope this helps you out 
What you can do is that create a custom function in your Database, Code given below
Function:
*********
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.FormatDateTime
(
@dt DATETIME,
@format VARCHAR(16)
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(64)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @dtVC VARCHAR(64)
SELECT @dtVC = CASE @format
WHEN 'LONGDATE' THEN
DATENAME(dw, @dt)
+ ',' + SPACE(1) + DATENAME(m, @dt)
+ SPACE(1) + CAST(DAY(@dt) AS VARCHAR(2))
+ ',' + SPACE(1) + CAST(YEAR(@dt) AS CHAR(4))
WHEN 'LONGDATEANDTIME' THEN
DATENAME(dw, @dt)
+ ',' + SPACE(1) + DATENAME(m, @dt)
+ SPACE(1) + CAST(DAY(@dt) AS VARCHAR(2))
+ ',' + SPACE(1) + CAST(YEAR(@dt) AS CHAR(4))
+ SPACE(1) + RIGHT(CONVERT(CHAR(20),
@dt - CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(CHAR(8),
@dt, 112)), 22), 11)
WHEN 'SHORTDATE' THEN
LEFT(CONVERT(CHAR(19), @dt, 0), 11)
WHEN 'SHORTDATEANDTIME' THEN
REPLACE(REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(19), @dt, 0),
'AM', ' AM'), 'PM', ' PM')
WHEN 'UNIXTIMESTAMP' THEN
CAST(DATEDIFF(SECOND, '19700101', @dt)
AS VARCHAR(64))
WHEN 'YYYYMMDD' THEN
CONVERT(CHAR(8), @dt, 112)
WHEN 'YYYY-MM-DD' THEN
CONVERT(CHAR(10), @dt, 23)
WHEN 'YYMMDD' THEN
CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), @dt, 12)
WHEN 'YY-MM-DD' THEN
STUFF(STUFF(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), @dt, 12),
5, 0, '-'), 3, 0, '-')
WHEN 'MMDDYY' THEN
REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(8), @dt, 10), '-', SPACE(0))
WHEN 'MM-DD-YY' THEN
CONVERT(CHAR(8), @dt, 10)
WHEN 'MM/DD/YY' THEN
CONVERT(CHAR(8), @dt, 1)
WHEN 'MM/DD/YYYY' THEN
CONVERT(CHAR(10), @dt, 101)
WHEN 'DDMMYY' THEN
REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(8), @dt, 3), '/', SPACE(0))
WHEN 'DD-MM-YY' THEN
REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(8), @dt, 3), '/', '-')
WHEN 'DD/MM/YY' THEN
CONVERT(CHAR(8), @dt, 3)
WHEN 'DD/MM/YYYY' THEN
CONVERT(CHAR(10), @dt, 103)
WHEN 'HH:MM:SS 24' THEN
CONVERT(CHAR(8), @dt, 8)
WHEN 'HH:MM 24' THEN
LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), @dt, 8), 5)
WHEN 'HH:MM:SS 12' THEN
LTRIM(RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), @dt, 22), 11))
WHEN 'HH:MM 12' THEN
LTRIM(SUBSTRING(CONVERT(
VARCHAR(20), @dt, 22), 10, 5)
+ RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), @dt, 22), 3))
ELSE
'Invalid format specified'
END
RETURN @dtVC
END
GO
Demo on Usage(Taking your own question as a sample):
*****************************************************
select dbo.FormatDateTime(convert(datetime, cast(DayDate AS char(8))),'YYYY-MM-DD') AS Date
from TableName where DayDate = 20080721
OutPut:
*******
2008-07-21
Usage of Function:
******************
DECLARE @now DATETIME
SET @now = GETDATE()
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'LONGDATE')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'LONGDATEANDTIME')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'SHORTDATE')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'SHORTDATEANDTIME')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'UNIXTIMESTAMP')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'YYYYMMDD')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'YYYY-MM-DD')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'YYMMDD')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'YY-MM-DD')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'MMDDYY')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'MM-DD-YY')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'MM/DD/YY')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'MM/DD/YYYY')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'DDMMYY')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'DD-MM-YY')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'DD/MM/YY')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'DD/MM/YYYY')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'HH:MM:SS 24')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'HH:MM 24')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'HH:MM:SS 12')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'HH:MM 12')
PRINT dbo.FormatDateTime(@now, 'goofy')

As there is no *DATE* data type in SQL 2005, you cannot store a date in the form that you want.
The only options you have to store a date (and time) are DATETIME and SMALLDATETIME (see Data Types[^])
If you need only the day part of a date I suggest you to use SMALLDATETIME ...
DECLARE @d DECIMAL(15,6) ;SET @d = 20080721.150825
SELECT
@d AS [as DECIMAL]
, CAST( LEFT(@d ,8) AS SMALLDATETIME ) AS [as SMALLDATETIME]
, CAST( LEFT(@d ,8) AS DATETIME ) AS [as DATETIME]
, CONVERT( NVARCHAR(10), CAST( LEFT(@d ,8) AS DATETIME ) , 121 ) AS [as NVARCHAR(10)]
There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.
|

|

a more appropriate solution would be to use the date data type
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),CONVERT(DATETIME,'20080819'),106)<br />
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),CONVERT(DATETIME,'20080819'),103)<br />
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),CONVERT(DATETIME,'20080819'),110)<br />
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),CONVERT(DATETIME,'20080819'),111)<br />

hi
how much File size (data)and File size (log)in sqlserver2005?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, what a ridiculous question.
You either take the defaults (which will show you are the time how much space) or you set your own sizes.

We don't do your homework for you. However, we will help you in the right direction.
So, what have you tried already?
Tip: Can you do this as a SELECT statement? If so, show it.

Do you have static number of subjects?
Are only those subjects: english history math or you have and any other subjects?

|
|
no all subjects are dynamic
they can be increased or decreased

Sounds like you should do some research on PIVOT and UNPIVOT operators.

Hi Monu Khan,
ZAK here... ya i do understand your problem... But i strongly suggest you to learn atlest basics of SQL and also have handson training before you come to conclusion that you don't know how....
The question you asked is a bignners levfel one.. This time iam answering you.. But remember "The more you learn... The more you grow..."
Creating View:
**************
CREATE VIEW studentView
AS
SELECT rollno, english, math, history, total/250 AS NetTotal FROM marksheet
Executing View:
***************
Execute studentView
Try this out monu khan
All the best!!!

hi. I am developing an IS and I was wondering on how I can load the heavy amount of data in a more efficient way. I was asked to also integrate an algorithm but I don't know where to put it and what to use. The program does much more in SQL queries than C# algorithmic codes. If you know what I mean. To explain it further, if I have about 1 million data entries in my database. How can I possibly load them in a jiffy?
