The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.


select name,email from empl where fairmate_user='yes' and email not in
(SELECT distinct(empl.email)  FROM    empl INNER JOIN  User_log ON empl.name
= User_log.user_name   where  convert(datetime,sign_in,103)>='01/01/2013'

MM,

I think you want an exact answer to your question and ... well the answer is all there in my solution (No_2). You can even copy&paste the code! Try it you'll like it.

Glad it helped!

Try this

SQL
create table test
(datecol varchar(30))

INSERT INTO test VALUES ('01/06/2012 4:33:04 PM')

SELECT * from test where Convert(datetime,datecol,103) BETWEEN '2012-01-01' and '2012-05-31'
SELECT * from test where Convert(datetime,datecol,103) BETWEEN '2012-01-01' and '2012-06-02'


For your query:

SQL
select name,email from empl where fairmate_user='yes' and email not in
(SELECT distinct(empl.email)  FROM    empl INNER JOIN  User_log ON empl.name
= User_log.user_name   where  Convert(datetime,sign_in,103) BETWEEN '2013-01-01' and '2013-01-01'

Have you tried my table, insert and query?
Santhosh Kumar Jayaraman 4-Feb-13 7:13am    
just change the date format in your query.

Instead of 01/01/2013 try '2013-01-01'
Santhosh Kumar Jayaraman 4-Feb-13 7:14am    
updated the solution with answer for your query.try that

yes. use it but gives me error from my db.
By replacement then ...
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,GETDATE(),103)		-- "(now)"

Ok, let's create a table to match this wishlist of a SELECT ... with datafile(td).txt
Zany, Assignment	quisling.tito.com	yes	2013-02-04 11:38:01.760
Captain, Theodorus	mike.twentysixteen.com	yes	2012-12-14 11:59:02.110
Wynn, Cruikshank	ss.nautpott.com	no	2011-07-26 07:52:15.007

CREATE SCHEMA cpqa

USE [cpqaMM]
GO
IF  EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[cpqa].[tblSomeTime]') AND type in (N'U'))
DROP TABLE [cpqa].[tblSomeTime]
GO

CREATE TABLE [cpqaMM].[cpqa].[tblSomeTime](
	[name][nvarchar](73),
		[email][nvarchar](42),
			[fmUser][nvarchar](5),
				[sIn][datetime]
				)

BULK INSERT [cpqaMM].[cpqa].[tblSomeTime] FROM 'C:\cpqaMM\datafile(td).txt'				

SELECT [name]
		,[email]
			,[fmUser]
				,[sIn]
  FROM [cpqaMM].[cpqa].[tblSomeTime]
GO

/*
	name				email					fmUser	sIn
	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Zany, Assignment	quisling.tito.com		yes		2013-02-04 11:38:01.760
	Captain, Theodorus	mike.twentysixteen.com	yes		2012-12-14 11:59:02.110
	Wynn, Cruikshank	ss.nautpott.com			no		2011-07-26 07:52:15.007
*/

Barest of assignment ... should pull the middle record ...
SELECT * FROM [cpqaMM].[cpqa].[tblSomeTime] WHERE CONVERT(datetime,[sIn],103)>='01/01/2012' AND CONVERT(datetime,[sIn],103)<='12/31/2012'

-- Captain, Theodorus	mike.twentysixteen.com	yes		2012-12-14 11:59:02.110				

So, the ideal situation is above, that's what you want. And this is what you have instead:
USE [cpqaMM]
GO
IF  EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[cpqa].[tblBadTime]') AND type in (N'U'))
DROP TABLE [cpqa].[tblBadTime]
GO

CREATE TABLE [cpqaMM].[cpqa].[tblBadTime](
	[name][nvarchar](73),
		[email][nvarchar](42),
			[fmUser][nvarchar](5),
				[sIn][nvarchar](101)
				)
BULK INSERT [cpqaMM].[cpqa].[tblBadTime] FROM 'C:\cpqaMM\datafile(td).txt'

SELECT [name]
		,[email]
			,[fmUser]
				,[sIn]
  FROM [cpqaMM].[cpqa].[tblBadTime]
GO

SELECT * FROM [cpqaMM].[cpqa].[tblBadTime] WHERE CAST(CONVERT(nvarchar,[sIn],103) AS [datetime])>='01/01/2012' AND CAST(CONVERT(nvarchar,[sIn],103) AS [datetime])<='12/31/2012'	

Oh, wait a minute ... that's not what I have! I have CAST(CONVERT(datetime,[sIn],103) AS [datetime]) ... which is yielding the tragic:
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value
