What these numbers are? Milliseconds? What the origin of them?

this is oracle numbers i use
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01/01/1970 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') + DateInNumber/ (60 * 60 * 24), 'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') as DateInDate

but now i need it in SQL.

Solution 1

try like this..

SQL

select cast(SUBSTRING('11122014',1,2)+'/'+SUBSTRING('11122014',3,2)+'/'+SUBSTRING('11122014',5,4) as date)

Updated:

SQL

declare @val as varchar(max)
set @val='11122014101012'
select cast((SUBSTRING(@val,1,2)+'/'+SUBSTRING(@val,3,2)+'/'+
SUBSTRING(@val,5,4)+' '+SUBSTRING(@val,9,2)+':'++SUBSTRING(@val,11,2)+':'+SUBSTRING(@val,13,2)) as datetime)

This formula works for me when datetime numbers are in seconds,

dateadd(s,DateInNumber , '1970-01-01') as DateTimeString
