Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string

Question

I have this query :

set IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.OtherData1 ON


INSERT INTO OtherData1 (OtherDataID, EmployeeID, OtherDate, OType, OSubject, StatementNo, Stateme         


        

Answer 1

This won't get all possible invalid dates (e.g. 30 February) but might help you find ones that need fixing.

SELECT StatementDate 
 FROM OtherData
 WHERE StatementDate NOT LIKE '[0-3][0-9]/[0-1][0-9]/[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]'
  AND  StatementDate NOT LIKE '[1-9]/[0-1][0-9]/[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]'
  AND  StatementDate NOT LIKE '[0-3][0-9]/[1-9]/[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]'
  AND  StatementDate NOT LIKE '[1-9]/[1-9]/[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]'
