*unsigned* 32-bit Column Type?

Aug 1, 2004

I need to stored lots of unsigned 32-bit values. (I'm actually storing IPv4 addresses). These values will frequently exceed 2^31 but never exceed 2^32

My options are:

Use bigint. This is undesirable since this wastes 32-bits of space for every value.
Use int and use the negative value range to get full 32-bits worth of data. In C, it is easy and fast to cast a signed -1 to an unsigned 2^32-1. In SQL, it will be more expensive: Must cast to 64-bit and if val < 0 then val = 2^32 + val.


Is there a better alternative?

Is there a fast (binary) way to cast a value > 2^31 to a negative signed value?

DECLARE @value BIGINT
SET @value = 3000000000

SELECT CONVERT(INT, @value) -- causes error
SELECT CAST(@value AS INT) -- causes error

Bulk Insert Task Failing On Data Type Conversion For A Destination Column Of Type Bit

Jul 6, 2006

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.

I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.

I hope someone can help me work through this.

Thanks in advance,

SK

Unsigned 64-bit Value In T-SQL?

Mar 7, 2006

I need to compute a BIGINT value in a SPROC that I'm writing.  An intermediate value of the calculation is an unsigned value greater than (2^63-1) which I gather is why my SPROC is producing an arithmetic overflow error.  I have a couple of choices as I see it:
1. Change the algorithm so that I don't have such large intermediate values (which would require me to add conditional statement which would slow down the SPROC and, therefore, I don't want to do).
2. Use the CLR integration with SQL feature to write my SPROC in C#.
My question is: Will 2. work or will the C# SPROC also produce an overflow once it is executed by the SQL Server?

Unsigned Int - How?

Jan 17, 2005

In MySQL you can define a unsigned integer as uint
But MS don't allow this. Only as int.
How can I define a column/field as a unsigned int ?

CREATE TABLE StringTable (
NDX uint IDENTITY(1,1),
MID varchar(81),
TableTXT varchar(65),
TableNDX uint,
TXT1 varchar(129),
TXT2 varchar(129),
UNCDateTime datetime,
Data image)
-1 42000 2715 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Column or

How Can I Set An Attribute Of Unsigned Zerofill In SQL?

Aug 6, 2007

 How can I set an attribute of unsigned zerofill in SQL? Like for example, there is an option in MySQL phpmyadmin to set the attribute of a specific column to unsigned zerofill, it will be based on the length of the integer. For example, the lenght of my int is 5, so if i'll set the attribute of the column to unsigned zerofill, the value that will be auto incremented will have zeroes before that actual value, for example000010000200003....00010and so on and so forth...But, how can i do this in SQL? I'm using MS SQL Server Management Studio Express, but I can't find the field attributes to set it to unsigned zerofill.. I hope somebody will reply in this post.. :(

Trying To Map To Tinyint - Single Byte Unsigned Int Not Working

Mar 11, 2008

I have an Excel spreadsheet that I eventually land into my staging table. In between, I'm attempting to get a date code from the Date table. I'm using a Lookup Transformation Editor and mapping the fiscal week of year and fiscal year name. I know the fiscal year name is fine. When I have both the fiscal year name and the fiscal week of year, the package fails on the lookup step. In a data conversion, I convert the fiscal week of year to a single byte unsigned integer. (In the Date table, the fiscal week of year is a tinyint.) I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong?

How Can I Set Constant Padding Between The Columns Of The Column Chart(stacked Column Sub-type)?

Aug 2, 2006

Hi All,

I am working on a column chart type (stacked column sub-type) report.

Our customer requires us that the space(padding) between the columns should be a constant(including the space between the Y-axis and the first column). I know how to set the width of the columns, but I really don't know how to set the width of the space between them. The columns just varies the space between them automatically according to the number of the columns (the number of the columns is not certain).

Thanks a lot in advance!

Danny

Sum Of Column Of Blob Type

Apr 10, 2007

I have a column in my table that is an Image (blob). The data storedin this blob is basically pdf files. I need a query to determine thetotal size of these blob's in the database. Here is what ishappening, if I run it as below I get 23736000 for a result.select sum(datalength (cast(document AS binary(8000)))) fromplan_reportIf I run it like this select sum(datalength (cast(document ASvarbinary(8000)))) from plan_reportI get 23736000 also as a resultIf I run it like this select sum(datalength (cast(document ASvarbinary))) from plan_reportI get 89010 this as a resultIf I run this: select datalength(document) from plan_report then Iget a result for each row and when I sum those rows I get 5584452854this as a result.I do not believe the first 3 queries are returning correct result setsdue to the limit on the fields (binary/varbinary) and since this is animage field I cannot convert to anything else.....I am out of ideas, and any help you can give me will be greatlyappreciated...
