Hello,
I receive a file containing some character fields along with a date.
The date values in the file are formatted as "dd/mm/yy", that is
2-digit day, 2-digit month, and 2-digit year. The separator could be
slash or a dash ("-"). The file is in a proprietary format, and bcp is
not an option.
So, I decided to load the file using a prepared statement. I open a
cursor with an INSERT statement, read from the file, parse out values,
and put it in the database using the cursor. All is OK; except that
the date values are mangled. This is despite the fact that I am issuing
a "set dateformat dmy" before running the INSERT statement.
It seems that the "set dateformat dmy" is not being accepted, or it is
being ignored. I set it at the beginning right after opening a
connection to the database. From what I understand, it should work.
Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions on how to get this to
work?
Thanks!
