Not without seeing it.

What are you trying to achieve? All date/datetime types in MSSQL already use the Gregorian calendar. Are you trying to convert to a Julian date? A different calendar system?

Perhaps you actually think of a function for converting from/to Persian calendar?

Weird MS SQL "Error"

I ran this in the Management Studio:

update [Master] set Data_Thru = '7/23/2014 9:49:00 AM'
where Data_Thru = '7/23/2014 8:00:00 AM'

So why did it actually set the smalldatetime to 7/23/2014 9:50:00 AM?

(And don't yell at me for the table name. It wasn't my idea.)

Are you absolutely sure that that's the precise query that you executed, and that the row you're looking at is the one it updated?

smalldatetime[^] will round to the nearest minute, but it will only round up if the seconds are greater than or equal to 29.999; anything else will round down.

SQL

SELECT
    CAST('7/23/2014 9:49:29.998 AM' as smalldatetime),
    CAST('7/23/2014 9:49:29.999 AM' as smalldatetime)
;

/*
Output:
2014-07-23 09:49:00
2014-07-23 09:50:00
*/

Yep.

Freaked me out. I've never seen that before, and it had no problem with me going in and correcting it back down to 9:49 via T-Sql

Weird. Are there any triggers on that table? Or other users updating the same row at the same time? Confused | :confused:

Nope. No triggers. And no users at all (yet).

Maybe we'll have to pass it off as a cosmic ray hitting the server and flipping a bit at just the right time. I see no resason for it, and Google came up with nothing, either.

When I run into impossible situations in code then the only solution is to examine my assumptions. That is always where I find the problem that lead to the impossibility in the first place.

What's the version / localization of your SQL Server?
I tried it with SQL Server 10.0.5500, German localized Management studio. I adjusted the date format of your query, and tested it. And it worked as it was expected to work - I cannot reproduce your bug.

I think it was a one-time glitch. I hate those.

CONCAT names with condition

Hi,

I have first_name, middle_name and last_name in my customers table.

I want to do

SQL

SELECT CONCAT(first_name, ' ', middle_name, ' ', last_name)

The middle name is optional

so I want to ignore it if it's blank to be:

SQL

SELECT CONCAT(first_name, ' ', last_name)

because if I do it the normal way I'll have extra space between the first_name and last_name

You can use ISNULL on the ~~first~~ middle name or a case statement.

Case statement is more robust as it caters for ''.

As long as you're doing it that way, you might as well use REPLACE. Big Grin | :-D

Without using CONCAT you can do this:

SQL

rtrim(isnull(first_name,'',first_name+' ') + isnull(middle_name,'',middle_name+' ') + isnull(last_name,'',last_name))

The rtrim will remove a trailing space where the person does not have a last name.

This error occurs frequently and no insert query is running.
if i restart the sql server services it is working fine,but often getting this error message.

Recently i changed my management studio to 2012 as my server is 2008 R2 version.How to fix this issue permanently?

Hi,

Usually it's because there are corruption problems related to the storage system. Have you tried running DBCC CHECKDB against the database?

SQL

DBCC CHECKDB ('Your DB Name') WITH NO_INFOMSGS;
GO

This could give you more information.

Also, check the Auto Close property:

SQL

SELECT DATABASEPROPERTY ('Your DB Name', 'IsAutoClose');
GO

If it returns 1 (Auto Close is on), then that may be the reason of your problem...

Dear Sir,

It shows the following error

Msg 1823, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
A database snapshot cannot be created because it failed to start.
Msg 7928, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The database snapshot for online checks could not be created.
Either the reason is given in a previous error or one of the underlying volumes
does not support sparse files or alternate streams. Attempting to get exclusive
access to run checks offline.

my database shows is_auto_close_on=1.

What i should do to solve this?

Re: The Log For the Database is Not Available

Andrius Leonavicius21-Jul-14 4:01

Andrius Leonavicius

21-Jul-14 4:01

I'd recommend to turn off the Auto Close:

SQL

ALTER DATABASE database_name
SET AUTO_CLOSE OFF;
GO

Speaking about errors, try to restart the server and run DBCC CHECKDB again. Also, take a look at Windows Event Logs for errors.

BTW, do you have enough disk space?

Regards,
Andrius Leonavicius
