I need to compare two values. one from a text field 'bid' and the other
from a field in an sql server database 'maxbid'.
The problem is the column in the database has decimal as its data type
and i'm getting a type mismatch. does anyone know how to convert 'bid'
into decimal from varchar? the field datatype doesnt necessarily have
to be decimal although i need two decimal places so it cant be an int.
I was wondering if any one could help, I've been looking on the net and can't seem to find any. how do you convert varchar to int, I'm trying to do an sql statement and it chucks up errors.

I keep optimizing my fields down to the minimum character length
necessary i.e., varchar(15), then I find out a month later its gotta
get bigger, then a few months later, bigger again, etc. Nowadays on
sql server 2005 and on, how bad is it really to use varchar(max)? Is
there really a big performance or storage hit or is it negligible?
My data input page uses a id generator which includes dashes, and the
corresponding column in the db is set up as varchar to handle that.
There is a problem, however, when the value in the varchar column is
compared to the string from the URL, and the following error message
occurs:
"Syntax error converting the varchar value '071-213' to a column of
data type int."

Would it be possible to CAST the request string to varchar?
ive got a form which takes in someone's age.
request.form("Age")
and then using a stored procedure i want to stick that age into a table in my DB (SQL server) The data type of the table where age goes is type int. So when i run my script to grab the age from the form it tells me :
"Error converting data type varchar to int."
So how would i get around that?
I have a field "Description", varchar2(100). When I try to show it on the HTML/ ASP page from a recordset, it appears as "word+word+word", nevertheless I have no "+" in the field.
I have a problem with submitting data from one form to db in sql server. Data type of that field in DB table is money (the other is for varbinary data type) and in asp I have an textfield <input type='text'....>. After submitting I get the next error message:
"Implicit conversion from data type varchar to money (or varbinary) is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query."
The problem I am having is that I am trying to insert data from a form into a DB, but I cannot figure out how to change the form value (varchar) to the db value (money).
I've tried cast(bill_priceA as money) and I get

If I have a SQL 2000 database with a table that is using 2 Ntext fields with a lot of data in them, can I convert them to VarChar(8000) fields safely? Will there be data loss? Would it best be done through Enterprise Manager?

View Replies View RelatedI'm using ASP, VBScript, ADO for SQL server 2000. I have a stored procedure that I'm trying to use to insert a row using parameters. One of the field is date. Here is the parameter for that. Code:

This is the code for my Procedure:

When I execute this code, I receive this error on line 314:

Line 314 is the classComm.Execute line. All the datatypes in my stored procedure those specified in the parameter declararations, and they all match with the datatypes in the DB. Other than the strings that are integer (strClassID) or date (strOccurDate), everything is a varchar.
I have no idea why this error is occurring. I have a similar stored procedure that adds the records in the same way and it kicks out the same error at the same time.
there is an old asp application that is moved from one machine to the other.On the one machine its working fine, but on the new one, when trying to insert from the asp page(variables from the asp page), i get this error, Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
I have tried almost everything, from checking the order of variables, but still get the error. When the proc is executed on SQL it runs fine, am i maybe missing something?

View Replies View RelatedI have read that there can be a periodic problem when reading large varchar or text fields from SQL server (or memo fields from Access)--they can sometimes come up as empty strings.
What I have been unable to find out is whether this problem is still around in recent versions of MDAC (>= 2.8). Does anyone know whether this problem still occurs--is it still necessary to follow the steps in that aspfaq article?
if there is an easy way to convert hex to decimal with asp, the hex() function is there to get the decimal to hex, but i haven't been able to find a way to go back.

View Replies View Relatedi want to do the calculation like

the both value come from the form. so when the data of excise field is like decimal 16.32 then i get the error data type mismatch.because the excise is 16.32 it is a decimal value. i have used CDbl(excise) but still it gives error.
My ASP driven site has always used MySQL as the DB backbone, mainly as the hosting costs of MySQL are far cheaper than SQL Server at the mo, and it has worked fine until my ISP thought that they were doing everybody a favour by upgrading to v5 from v4.
What happens now is that any ASP query that I do that involves any of my MySQL Decimal data type fields goes belly up. It will not work. Looks to be an issue with ASP, MyODBC and MySQL, but I just wanted to check if there was a better/more reliable data type than Decimal (which obviously performs the same numerical functions) and if there was a quick way to convert all of my Decimal fields to this new type.
Testing a ASP page using an Access db and I have a field in the DB defined as a 'number' with a precision of 3. Upon submitting the test data, I get this error message.
Microsoft JET Database Engineerror '80040e21'Scaling of decimal value resulted in data truncation. Can anyone tell me what's going on? The test value I used was "2.5".
Is there a quick function to check if a passed value is a valid Hex Color? ie, if FD4323 was passed, it would return TRUE, and if FD94LR was returned it would return FALSE.
I'm finding conversion functions, but nothing that tests off hand.
I have a 3 page set that searches a database for users, displays the user information in a form and updates the data in the database. The first 2 pages work fine, the third page doesn't. What is annoying is that these pages are a copy of another set of pages that edit news articles (basically the same thing) and they work perfectly.
This is ASP with SQL and VB Script.

Anyone have any code handy to convert a binary number to decimal and a decimal to binary? I need server-side code to perform these calculations. For example, I'd like to be able to pass 129 to a function and it will return 10000001. Likewise, I'd like to pass 10000001 to a function and get 129.
I can do this on paper, just not sure where to start on how to pass these numbers into a function to perform the calculation.
