Question

I have an ADO.NET Source in my SSIS package, and im trying to make the following query:

“SELECT * FROM Table WHERE DateAdded > ‘@[User::InputDateV]'”

For other hand i have a DateTime variable called InputDateV.

My issue is that in the variable value i can use the following date: 24/10/2012 but my Sql server this date is not valid and should be 10/24/2012.

How i can i change the datetime format of my variable to be (mm/dd/yyyy)?

Thanks.

Regards.

Jose.

Answer 1

The safest bet is to convert your DateTime variable into the ISO date format:

"'" + (DT_WSTR,4)YEAR(@[User::InputDateV]) 
    + RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)MONTH(@[User::InputDateV]),2)
    + RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DAY(@[User::InputDateV]),2) 
    + "'"

This evaluates to ‘20121024’ and as such is a perfect, unambiguous date string for SQL Server.
