can anyone suggest be if there is any other option to do this have its saying' failed: 'In function 'formatdatetime', the value provided for date time string '' was not valid. The datetime string must match ISO 8601 format.'.
"ETA": "2022-11-16T10:03:00.000Z",
-- desired output i need
"ETA" : "16-11-2022 10:03:00"
I did use the function
formatdatetime(item()?['ETA'], 'dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss')
-- desired output i need
"ETA" : "16-11-2022 10:03:00"
then I need to save the output in csv file.
It looks like on of your ETA rows in the Table is empty.
You could add error handling to your expression. Try something like below:
if(empty(item()?['ETA']), '', formatdatetime(item()?['ETA'], 'dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss'))

I am trying to convert following string to timestamp. however not able to figure out how to handle last milisecond part
String:
2020-06-30T23:57:48.000-0400
following is working. howsoever it's loosing information about milliseconds.
hive> select from_unixtime(unix_timestamp("2020-06-30T23:57:48.000-0400", "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'-'SSS"), "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'-'SSSS");
OK
2020-06-30T23:57:48.000-0000
Expected Value
2020-06-30T23:57:48.000-0400
update
even this is not working
Query
hive> select date_format("2020-01-23 23:59:54.0000400", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSS");
output
2020-01-23 23:59:54.0000000
Try this -
Select
concat(from_unixtime(unix_timesstamp('2020-01-23 23:59:54.0000400', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')), '.', split('2020-01-23 23:59:54.0000400', '[.]')[1]);
I hope this is helps.
I need to restrict a query with a
SELECT ... FROM ...
WHERE my_date=(RESULT FROM A SELECT)
... ;
in order to achieve that I am using as result of the select a timestamp (if I instead use a datetime I get nothing from my select probably because the format I am using trims the datetime at the second).
Sadly this is not working because these kindo of queries:
select DISTINCT TO_DATE(TO_TIMESTAMP(TO_DATE('25-10-2017 00:00', 'dd-MM-yyyy HH24:MI'))) from DUAL;
return an
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
how to deal with timestamp to date conversion?
If you want to just compare and check only he dates use trunc on both LHS and RHS.
SELECT ... FROM ...
WHERE trunc(my_date)=(select trunc(RESULT) FROM A)
... ;
This will just compare the dates by truncating the timestamp values
You can use the combination of "TRUNC" and "IN" keywords in your query to achieve what you are expecting. Please check the below query sample as a reference.
SELECT * FROM customer WHERE TRUNC(last_update_dt) IN (select DISTINCT (TRUNC(last_update_dt)) from ... )
Cheers !!
I have a date table in my db in Oracle. When I run a query I get the date format as '01-05-2015' but when I run a similar query in BIRT, I get the date format as '01-MAY-2015 12:00 AM'. How can I get the date format in dd/mm/yyy by keeping the data type of date field as date.
here is sample of my database.
EQ_DT
05-07-2015
06-06-2015
15-02-2015
19-09-2015
28-12-2015
also my query is :
select to_date(to_char(to_date(enquiry_dt,'DD/MM/YYYY'),'DD/MM/YY'),'DD/MM/YY') as q from xxcus.XXACL_SALES_ENQ_DATAMART where to_date(to_char(to_date(enquiry_dt,'DD/MM/YY'),'DD/MM/YY'),'DD/MM/YY')>'21-06-2012' order by q
I am getting error of NOT A VALID Month also
If enquiry_dt is already a date column, why are you trying to convert it to date (and then to char and to date again)?
SELECT to_char(enquiry_dt, 'DD/MM/YYYY') AS q
FROM xxcus.xxacl_sales_enq_datamart
WHERE enquiry_dt > to_date('21-06-2012', 'dd-mm-yyyy')
ORDER BY enquiry_dt
In birt, where you place the field on the report, set the field type to date. Then in properties for that field , go to format date time, and finally specify the date formatting you want for that field .
I prefer to always use pass date parameters as strings to BIRT, using a known date format. This is for report parameters as well as for DataSet parameters.
Then, inside the query, I convert to date like this:
with params as
( select to_date(pi_start_date_str, 'DD.MM.YYYY') as start_date_incl,
to_date(pi_end_date_str, 'DD.MM.YYYY') + 1 as end_date_excl
from dual
)
select whatever
from my_table, params
where ( my_table.event_date >= params.start_date_incl
and
my_table.end_date < params.start_date_excl
)
This works independent of the time of day.
This way, e.g. to select all events for january 2016, I could pass the query parameters '01.01.2016' and '31.01.2016' (I'm using german date format here).
Can I convert a string column formatted as "YYYY-MM" from SQL back into a Date that uses text. (ie. January, 2014) as a new column using proc SQL?
Initially my source is 2014-01 and I would like every row to be converted to the respective month and year as shown. I have tried the Format option outside of the proc SQL table build, however I need it as a Macro date afterwards.
Thanks
Here's one option that uses a custom format. First convert to date using INPUT() with the ANYDTDTE. format. Then you can either display the variable with the format or you can convert it to a new character variable with the format applied.
/*Create your own format definition*/
proc format;
picture monyyc_fmt (default=25)
low - high = "%B, %Y" (datatype=date);
run;
data want;
str='2014-12';
date=input(str,anydtdte.);
format date monyyc_fmt.;
want=put(date, monyyc_fmt.);
put (_all_) (=/);
run;
proc print data=want;
run;
Results are:
Obs str date want
1 2014-12 December, 2014 December, 2014
References for the custom date format:

Not sure what PROC SQL has to do with the issue of converting the value. One way would be to convert your string to date using INPUT() and then use the CATX(), PUT() and YEAR() functions and the MONNAME. format to build the new string.
data _null_;
str='2014-12';
date=input(str,anydtdte.);
format date date9.;
want=catx(', ',put(date,monname.),year(date));
put (_all_) (=/);
run;
You could skip the middleman and just parse the string yourself to get the year number. This might be easier to code inside an SQL statement.
want=catx(', ',put(input(str,anydtdte.),monname.),scan(str,1,'-'));
In SQL, consider the next example:
-- The table holding the result
CREATE TABLE #myTable(stringDate CHAR(7), dateValue DATETIME, newStringDate VARCHAR(20))
-- The values in original format
INSERT INTO #myTable(stringDate) SELECT '2014-01'
INSERT INTO #myTable(stringDate) SELECT '2014-02'
INSERT INTO #myTable(stringDate) SELECT '2014-03'
INSERT INTO #myTable(stringDate) SELECT '2015-01'
INSERT INTO #myTable(stringDate) SELECT '2015-02'
GO
-- All months have a first day, so conveting "2014-01" to date is just removing "-" and adding "01"
UPDATE #myTable SET dateValue = CAST(REPLACE(stringDate, '-', '') + '01' AS DATETIME)
GO
-- When we have the dates, you can tranform it to the format you want
UPDATE #myTable SET newStringDate = DATENAME(MONTH, dateValue) + ', ' + CAST(YEAR(dateValue) AS VARCHAR)
GO
SELECT * FROM #myTable
I've got a report I'm writing in BIRT against an Oracle database:
Table:
tranx_no (string)
type (string)
description (string)
amount (number(14,2))
date (date)
Query in BIRT:
SELECT tranx_no, type, description, amount
FROM tranx_table
WHERE date BETWEEN ? AND ?
If I just do plain dates (02-01-2014 and 02-14-2014) in the parameters, it misses things that happen during the day of the 14th (stops at midnight). I've tried concatenating the time onto the date parameter
WHERE date BETWEEN ? || '12:00:00 AM' AND ? || '11:59:59 PM'
and got an ORA 01843 error. I also tried casting it with to_date
WHERE date BETWEEN TO_DATE(? || '12:00:00 AM', 'MM-DD-YYYY HH:MI:SS AM') AND TO_DATE(? || '11:59:59 PM', 'MM-DD-YYYY HH:MI:SS AM')
and no joy there either. ORA 01847 error happens with that one.
Ideas? I know there's probably something simple I'm not thinking of, but Google hasn't helped. I'm wanting to edit the query, not change the date entry on the face of the form.
Thanks.
Correct handling DATEs with BIRT can be tricky.
I recommend to always use VARCHAR2 for passing DATE parameters (for report parameters as well as for query parameters). Always verify the data type of your parameters.
In your SQL, always use TO_DATE / TO_CHAR with an explicit date format - otherwise the results would depend on the locale settings.
Next, be sure that the value the user entered is adjusted to a known date-format before it is used in the query. For example, in Germany the SQL date format DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS is commonly used.
You could create a utility function which adds the missing parts (e.g. the time) automatically. Use an additional argument in this function to specify if it's a "from" date (adds 00:00:00) or a "to" date (adds 23:59:59).
OTOH if the UI forces the user to enter a from-to date without time (say in the format 'MM-DD-YYYY' as in your example), you could just code
WHERE (date >= to_date(?, 'MM-DD-YYYY') and date < to_date(?, 'MM-DD-YYYY') + 1)
Note the usage of < and not <=.
This works because if no time is specified in the format mask, 00:00:00 (in HH24:MI:SS format) is implied.
As you pointed out the start date is not a problem as it begins at 00:00:00 of the start date. If your paramter is a text box your users can enter 02-01-2014 08:00:00 to get results starting at 8am on Feb 1.
Note that my date format has the year first, while yours has the year last
For the end date, I use a text box paramater with this as my default value
//Creates a date for one second before midnight of the current date,
//which is properly formatted to use as an end date in quires (for my data)
// Note that a custom date format (yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss) is required for proper display in pop-up GUI
var T; T = BirtDateTime.addDay(BirtDateTime.today(),1);
var Y; Y = BirtDateTime.year(T);
var M; M = BirtDateTime.month(T);
var D; D = BirtDateTime.day(T);
{
Y +"-"
+ M +"-"
+ D +" "
+"00:00:00"
}
I also use this help text
Enter date as YYYY-MM-DD. For example, 2013-3-14
Adn this prompt text
End Date (YYYY-MM-DD), if time is blank will default to 00:00:00
