I'm using node-mssql to get rows from a table that includes a date column (YYYY-MM-DD). I want to pass the date to a client application as a string in that same format. node-mssql is creating date objects, which I'm having to convert and slice at significant cost to get the format that I started with. sql.map.register(String, sql.Date) doesn't seem to work here (or I'm using it wrong). Is there a way to change how node-mssql handles the SQL date data type?
I'm having the same problem. sql.map.register is only for converting JS types to SQL types and I don't think there is any way to avoid SQL Date fields being converted into JS Date objects with node-mssql alone. I just changed my SQL query to convert to a formatted varchar instead of a Date type, e.g.: convert(varchar, birthday, 105) as dob.

What is the correct way to specify the format of a datetime2 field when creating a table in Azure SQL data warehouse? I don't seem to be able to find an example in the documentation.
The data looks like this:
"2020-09-14T20:50:48.000Z"
CREATE TABLE [Foo].[Bar](
...
MyDateTime datetime2(['YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.fractional seconds]')
)
As Panagiotis notes, the underlying representation is an int/long for the actual date value. This is how RDBMS engines can quickly compute the delta between two dates (days between Monday and Friday is a simple subtraction problem). To answer your question, you simply would format your create table as:
CREATE TABLE [Foo].[Bar](
...
MyDateTime datetime2
)
If you're interested in formatting the result in a query, you can look to the CONVERT or FORMAT functions. For example, if you wanted the format dd-mm-yyyy (Italian date), you could use either of the following:
SELECT
CONVERT(VARCHAR, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 105)
, FORMAT(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 'dd-MM-yyyy')
Note: CONVERT is generally faster than FORMAT and is the recommended approach if you have a date format that is supported. This is because the FORMAT function relies on the CLR which will include a context/process jump.
My database is SQL Server. I have the following sql query
SELECT RQI,RQIOver,PCI,PCIOver,PQI,PQIOver,SR,SROver,IRI,IRIOver,RUT,RUTOver,cast(DateCollected as date) as DateCollected,cast(DateCollectedOver as date) as DateCollectedOver from dbo.PF_Condition where SegmentId=12665
The result I am getting for DateCollected is just the date, which I need, when run it in SQL Management Studio. However when I put the same SQL query in a nodejs service which I created the result is not the same.
I needed to extract YYYY-MM-DD from datetime field DateCollected and DateCollectedOver as mentioned in the query above.
Can someone help me with it?
I made it work with the slice operator of javascript and sliced the date part only and displayed in the frontend where I need to. The results returned are of type string so the slice operator worked.
If someone can help why the cast function is not working in the sql query when I put it in the nodejs service it will be really helpful
After casting as DATE, you can then use the LEFT function to truncate the result to 10 characters:
LEFT(cast(DateCollected as date), 10) as DateCollected
which would return a string with the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'
I'm using Sequelize with MySQL on my Apollo GraphQL server.
Apollo part is not very important, but here's the deal.
Problem is, Sequelize is returning datetime values as Date object, when you make queries. And Apollo-Server turns the Date object to seconds(using valueOf() function of Date object) after it gets the data from the resolver. However, Apollo server only allow String datatype for Date object, so on my client's side I'm getting some thing like "385823948287" for date values.
I need to get date values as ISO String. Or any other form that moment.js accepts.
I have to make either Sequelize return DATETIME values as ISOString, or Apollo Server to make Date Objects as ISO String, not seconds in quotes.
If you know how to do just one of those jobs, please let me know.
I solved this using Graphql ISO Date. Now I'm getting proper date string.
Install the module, add scalar DateTime and change the data types of date values to DateTime in your schema. Import the module and add it as DateTime on your type resolver.
I have the values stored for timestamp type column in cassandra table in format of
2018-10-27 11:36:37.950000+0000 (GMT date).
I get Unable to coerce '2018-10-27 11:36:37.950000+0000' to a formatted date (long) when I run below query to get data.
select create_date from test_table where create_date='2018-10-27 11:36:37.950000+0000' allow filtering;
How to get the query working if the data is already stored in the table (of format, 2018-10-27 11:36:37.950000+0000) and also perform range (>= or <=) operations on create_date column?
I tried with create_date='2018-10-27 11:36:37.95Z',
create_date='2018-10-27 11:36:37.95' create_date='2018-10-27 11:36:37.95'too.
Is it possible to perform filtering on this kind of timestamp type data?
P.S. Using cqlsh to run query on cassandra table.
In first case, the problem is that you specify timestamp with microseconds, while Cassandra operates with milliseconds - try to remove the three last digits - .950 instead of .950000 (see this document for details). The timestamps are stored inside Cassandra as 64-bit number, and then formatted when printing results using the format specified by datetimeformat options of cqlshrc (see doc). Dates without explicit timezone will require that default timezone is specified in cqlshrc.
Regarding your question about filtering the data - this query will work only for small amounts of data, and on bigger data sizes will most probably timeout, as it will need to scan all data in the cluster. Also, the data won't be sorted correctly, because sorting happens only inside single partition.
If you want to perform such queries, then maybe the Spark Cassandra Connector will be the better choice, as it can effectively select required data, and then you can perform sorting, etc. Although this will require much more resources.
I recommend to take DS220 course from DataStax Academy to understand how to model data for Cassandra.
This is works for me
var datetime = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM:ss");
var query = $"SET updatedat = '{datetime}' WHERE ...
I have a query expression in Cognos where I need to compare a past date to the current date. I don't see one in the functions list and I'm otherwise unsure how to put the query date inside a query object.
How can I use the current date in a query?
Depending on your Database software, the object will be either be current_date (SQL Server) or SYSDATE{} (Oracle). If you don't know which you have, just make an expression of just the function and press the Validate button; if you get an error, you used the wrong function for your database.
You can then use this object like any other Date query object, so you can add/compare it to dates in your query or display it somewhere on the page.
The best way is to use current_date. This method is data source agnostic and will be converted to the appropriate data source equivalent at run-time.
You can use something like this with your query:
SELECT
FIELD1
FROM TABLE
WHERE
FIELD2 = current_date
Asumming that FIELD2 has a date format
