File this under ‘blogging so I never have to recall this from memory’. One of my current clients is extracting data from an Oracle database to be loaded into a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. Of course, the date columns contain floats, representing the number of days since January 1, 1900 in the integer portion and the fraction is the portion of the date (time of day) for this datetime.
Fortunately, we are only concerned with the date grain of data, so I am able to use dateadd(day, <<column with oracle>>,’1/1/1900’) to calculate a SQL Server date time (this is a 2005 project).
