[sql-server] Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string in SQL SERVER 2008

I have below SQL.

 UPDATE  student_queues
 SET  Deleted=0,  
      last_accessed_by='raja', 
      last_accessed_on=CONVERT(VARCHAR(24),'23-07-2014 09:37:00',113)
 WHERE std_id IN ('2144-384-11564') 
   AND reject_details='REJECT'

when I ran the above SQL the below exception has been throwed.

Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.

This question is related to sql-server sql-server-2008-r2 date-conversion

The answer is


Seems like last_accessed_on, is a date time, and you are converting '23-07-2014 09:37:00' to a varchar. This would not work, and give you conversion errors. Try

last_accessed_on= convert(datetime,'23-07-2014 09:37:00', 103)  

I think you can avoid the cast though, and update with '23-07-2014 09:37:00'. It should work given that the format is correct.

Your query is not going to work because in last_accessed_on (which is DateTime2 type), you are trying to pass a Varchar value.

You query would be

UPDATE  student_queues SET  Deleted=0 ,  last_accessed_by='raja', last_accessed_on=convert(datetime,'23-07-2014 09:37:00', 103)  
 WHERE std_id IN ('2144-384-11564') AND reject_details='REJECT'

DECLARE @FromDate DATETIME

SET @FromDate =  'Jan 10 2016 12:00AM'

DECLARE @ToDate DATETIME
SET @ToDate = 'Jan 10 2017 12:00AM'

DECLARE @Dynamic_Qry nvarchar(Max) =''

SET @Dynamic_Qry='SELECT

(CONVERT(DATETIME,(SELECT 
     CASE WHEN (  ''IssueDate''   =''IssueDate'') THEN 
               EMP_DOCUMENT.ISSUE_DATE 
          WHEN (''IssueDate'' =''ExpiryDate'' ) THEN       
               EMP_DOCUMENT.EXPIRY_DATE ELSE EMP_DOCUMENT.APPROVED_ON END   
          CHEKDATE ), 101)  

)FROM CR.EMP_DOCUMENT  as EMP_DOCUMENT WHERE 1=1 

AND  (
      CONVERT(DATETIME,(SELECT 
        CASE WHEN (  ''IssueDate''   =''IssueDate'') THEN
                 EMP_DOCUMENT.ISSUE_DATE 
             WHEN (''IssueDate'' =''ExpiryDate'' ) THEN EMP_DOCUMENT.EXPIRY_DATE 
             ELSE EMP_DOCUMENT.APPROVED_ON END 
             CHEKDATE ), 101)  
) BETWEEN  '''+ CONVERT(CHAR(10), @FromDate, 126) +'''  AND '''+CONVERT(CHAR(10),  @ToDate , 126
)
+'''  
'

print @Dynamic_Qry

EXEC(@Dynamic_Qry)
