Updating only the year in a date

1 New Member
I want to change the Year in Date . For example 01.02.0009 into 01.02.2009

Please suggest how can I do it in DB2...?

I tried the below code but it is giving Illegal symbol error for '('

UPDATE table
SET YEAR(DATE) = 1234
WHERE
YEAR(DATE) = 2006;

Hi,

in sql you've got to update the field, not a functions result of a field.

The where clause is ok, but you've got to assemble the set instruction with string concatenation, like

set datecolname = date( concat( year(datecol)+1 900, "-", month(datecol), "-", day(datecol) ) )

which does not handle the days and month <10 yet.

Regards

As the BWG will have to be adjusted at the beginning and end of every leap year, I want to be able to update all...

OK, hopefully somebody can help me out again. My next problem is updating 3 form fields (type list/menu option) that correspond to a date, one for month, one for day and one for year when the user selects a date for a javascript calendar solution.

Thanks, it worked. Another problem: Hey folks, where is the bug in this code? When updating the date field, it is updating all the records in the table with the same value (e.g. 2008-01-07) instead of incrementing the day by one in each record. $schedule=position_courses($time_of_day); $x=0; $z=0; $temp=0; //getting the initial date $date=set_date(7,1,2008,true); foreach($schedule as...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
