Some records have both time and day. My MSSQL database has 290 tables so splitting the fields would be a very large project. Is there a way to add just the time part of date time to timestamp?

TIMESTAMP values contain a date and time. If you have only times then they'll have to go in a TIME column or you'll have to use a bogus date in a TIMESTAMP column (ugly). > Some records have both time and day. > > My MSSQL database has 290 tables so splitting the fields would be a very > large project. Couldn't a conversion be done programatically? Or are there too many special cases that need wetware intervention? > Is there a way to add just the time part of date time to timestamp? Not that I'm aware of. Unless I'm mistaken you'll have to use separate DATE and TIME columns and set the date to NULL, else assign a bogus date where the date is missing, which wouldn't smell very nice. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread
