CREATE Function [dbo].[pwFormatDate](@sDate decimal(9,0) )
RETURNS datetime
BEGIN
RETURN(CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), @sDate)))
END

Now we are ready to use this function in our queries. For instance following query allows us to list vendors with their last activity date converted into full datetime format in sql.

SELECT [VENDORID]
,[IDGRP]
,[VENDNAME]
,dbo.pwFormatDate(DATELASTAC) AS LASTACTDATE
FROM [SAMLTD].[dbo].[APVEN]
WHERE DATELASTAC <>'0'

This will be especially useful if you are having to execute queries and needing to extract data into Excel for further analysis.

In this example I created a temporary table in SQL to insert these values into it. But you can refer to an existing table that you want to insert these values into.


create table #numbers (num int , cur char(10))

And we set a variable to with a default value and a loop to run our insert query as many times as we specify. In this case it will insert 500 rows with incremental values for num column and default value of USD for cur column.


declare @i int
set @i = 1
while @i <= 500
begin
insert #numbers ( num, cur ) values (@i, 'USD')
set @i = @i + 1
end


UPDATE [DATABASE].[dbo].[OEORDH]
SET [QTEXPDATE]= replace([QTEXPDATE],LEFT([QTEXPDATE],4),YEAR(GETDATE())+1)
WHERE ([TYPE]='4') AND (CONVERT(datetime,CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),[QTEXPDATE])) < GETDATE()+10)

This query is designed to work with Sage Accpac ERP and it extends the quotes that are due to expire in 10 days by one year. You can change number of days to expiration by replacing number 10 in the where statement. Also you will need to insert your database name by replacing the caption [DATABASE]. You can further modify the query to extend the expiration date by different attribute such as month or days.

• [DATABASE] needs to be replaced by your SQL Database Name.
• This query only applies to SQL Server backend databases.

END as Category
From [VisionMerge].[dbo].[View_LJP_OpenDocs] as V
WHERE [BillingClientID] IS NOT NULL) as D
GROUP BY [BillingClientID]
ORDER BY [BillingClientID]

Basically in this example I have a view that has summarized information on the Customer documents which include following fields:  ClientID, transaction date and outstanding amount.
