Cast As Integer Problem.
Feb 7, 2005
I have DB that contains a field named GarmentSize. The field type is TEXT as it can contain for example
8
10
12
14
or
L
XL
XXL
The problem is when I run a query and order by GarmentSize the results displayed are as follows if it contains numbers
10
12
14
8
Instead of
8
10
12
14
If I use order by CAST(GarmentSize as Integer) this works fine, unless the field contains text then is throws the following error.
Syntax error converting the varchar value 'XL' to a column of data type int
Is there a way of determining if the field contains characters that can be casted before doing the CAST?

I am attempting to convert an integer value to a string using the Derived Column transformation with the following expression on the field:
(DT_STR,10,1252)prod_id
prod_id is an integer. I was able to do this before however, in the past couple of days, this has failed with the following error:
"An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast."
To my knowledge, I have not changed anything about this particular data flow within the past couple of days. I have verified that the value is coming in as an integer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I need to take a temporary table that has various times stored in a text field (4:30 pm, 11:00 am, 5:30 pm, etc.), convert it to miltary time then cast it as an integer with an update statement kind of like:
Update myTable set MovieTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(5),GETDATE(),108), ':', '')
how this can be done while my temp table is in session?

Working on a new database where the Date and Time are stored in a Date Time Field.
Then working on an OLDER database file within the same SQL Database contains these 2 items as integers:
transDate = "71615" (July 16, 2015)
transTime = "12345" (01:23:45 AM)
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
* That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.

Thanks

I have
CASE
WHEN (a.type_id in (9))
THEN a.duration
ELSE 0 --CAST ( expression AS data_type )
END 'Time'
I need the duration to be displayed if type is 9 only.
so otherwise id ideally want 'N/A' displayed..
but it won't display it as its not an int ..
is there a way i can just display it temporarily
instaed of 0 ?

Hi All,
If I run "SELECT 610/100", query analyser returns 6! (wrong)
If I run "SELECT 610.0/100", query analyser returns 6.100000! (correct)
I know I can get the correct result by running "SELECT Cast(610.0 as Float)/100", but why doesn't the first example return 6.1?
Is there some setting on my server which says Integer / Integer = Integer ?
Regards
Xo

im doing a sum on a table and it either returns a number in decimal format or 'null' . The problem is when it returns null i want it to just make the text say '0.00'. So i did a test on the object that if it returns NULL just print '0.00' but if it is not null it tells me that there is a number there and i want to store that as a decimal and print it out. But i get an error for a type cast when im not it should not even be going to that part of the code. In the code below the first executescaler will return null so it should just go straight to the else. But it gives me the type cast error in the if that shouldnt be seen. The error and code are below. //Borrower NSF FEES
cmd.CommandText = "select sum(itemamount) from postmtdtls where loanid='" + LoanID + "' and Transactioncode = '310'";
object temp = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
if (temp != null)
{
decimal B_NSFFees = ((decimal)cmd.ExecuteScalar());
borrowerPayoff_NSFFees.Text = String.Format("{0:#,#.##}", B_NSFFees).ToString(); //Borrower NSF FEES
}
else
{
borrowerPayoff_NSFFees.Text = "0.00"; //borrowerPayoff_NSFFees.Text = "0.00";

If I run the following query in SQL Server Management Studio it returns the correct results: (Searching the table for the field "SpecimenID (an INT)" against the data entered (a Text Field - "7575-01") from the submitted form.
SELECT ClinicalID, SpecimenID, PatientID, LabID, Accession, Bacillus, Francisella, Yersinia, Brucella, Burkholderia, Coxiella, Staphylococcus, Other, OtherExplanation, CollectionDate, strddlTransportMedium, strddlSpecimenSource, UserName, Test, SpecimenCount, DateAndTimeFROM ClinicalSpecimenWHERE (SpecimenID = CAST('7575-01' AS VARCHAR(50)))ORDER BY SpecimenID DESCHowever, when I try to use the same logic in the ASPX.VB code behind page, as follows below, I either get an error message (Syntax error converting the varchar value '' to a column of data type int.) or record not found.... Can someone please explain what I am missing here....
MySQL = "SELECT * FROM ClinicalSpecimen WHERE SpecimenID = CAST(('" & AccessionPresent & "') AS VARCHAR(50))"
*"AccessionPresent" is the value of the text field retrieved from the form.
I guess what I am really asking is how can I search for an INT value in a table using a VARCHAR Field.
Thank you for any or all assistance !!!

Hi over there,I hope this question is not too simple, but I didn't manage to figure out why...I would need an explanation for following issue:I'm reading data from a database (MSSQL) and it the column "PersonBirthday" is DBNull.I wanted to prevent the error (Textbox.Text = DBNull) with an IIF. The thing is I get thistypecast exception:"Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid." This code is NOT working, why? txtPersonBirthday.Text = IIf(IsDBNull(.Item("PersonBirthday")) =
True, String.Empty,
CDate(.Item("PersonBirthday")).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")) When I'm using this code, which is for me obviously the same, just with an if-block it works,and I want to know why - please explain. If IsDBNull(.Item("PersonBirthday")) Then txtPersonBirthday.Text = String.Empty Else txtPersonBirthday.Text = CDate(.Item("PersonBirthday")).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") End IfThanks in advance,cheers,uquandux If IsDBNull(.Item("PersonBirthday")) Then txtPersonBirthday.Text = String.Empty Else txtPersonBirthday.Text = CDate(.Item("PersonBirthday")).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") End If

Can't seem to find why I'm getting this error: Specified cast is not valid.
Ok, using a stored procedure for SQL Server 2000 and here is the main part of it:
SELECT id, rank, firstName, lastName, service, status, createdTime FROM accessRequest WHERE lastName LIKE @tLastName AND firstName LIKE @tFirstName
And the C# code behind from the class file:
SqlDataReader spResults;
conn.Open();
spResults = command.ExecuteReader();
while( spResults.Read() )
{
AccessRequestSearch request = new AccessRequestSearch( (int)spResults.GetInt32( 0 ), spResults.GetString( 2 ), spResults.GetString( 3 ), spResults.GetString( 1 ), spResults.GetString( 4 ), spResults.GetString( 5 ), Convert.ToDateTime(spResults.GetString( 6 )));
searchResults.Add( request ); // Add to Array List
}
spResults.Close();
The part in red is where I think it's happening because that is what I just added to the request. createdTime in the table is set as DateTime.
Can anyone see what I am missing here?
More info is available if needed.
Thanks,
Zath

I have a table with a column called Sample_Date_and_Teime with a row definition of char(16). What is stored in this table is a date (ie. 1020621141517000) The first char is the century, the next are the year, the next two are the month, the next two are the day, the next 2 the hour, the next two are the minutes, and the next 2 are the seconds and the last 3 are to be ignored... what I need to do is write a select statement that converts this column into a datetime so that I can then do a insert into a new table by selecting from this table based on a date range. PLEASE HELP:confused: :confused: :confused:

I use to import data from DBF Clipper databases into SQL Server. When a table is just imported its date fields have string format. I need to copy their data to tables of database where they ahve to be converted into date. Direct operator INSERT doesn't convert properly (I've not successed in changing default date format so it'll be covertable) but using CAST I can get result of strings like 13.05.1970 0:00:00 as datetime type. But not all records can be coverted this way. For ones can't be converted I've solved to make NULL fields there. But I don't know how to make CAST operation return NULL when convertion isn't possible. The query
INSERT INTO people_temp
(reg_num, surname, stname, patronymic, foreing, gender, birthdate, fam_pos, dwell_type, children, nation, par_not, region, stud_fml, parn_fml,
com_prob, sp_prob, sn_passport, nn_passport, dv_passport, wg_passport)
SELECT STUDENTs_temp.REG_NOM, STUDENTs_temp.FAMILY, STUDENTs_temp.NAME, STUDENTs_temp.PARN_NAME, STUDENTs_temp.INOSTR,
STUDENTs_temp.SEX,
CAST(PSPR_temp.DATA_BORN AS smalldatetime), PSPR_temp.SEM_POL, PSPR_temp.XAR_JT, PSPR_temp.CHILDREN,
PSPR_temp.NATION,
PSPR_temp.SV_ROD1 + PSPR_temp.SV_ROD2 AS Expr1, PSPR_temp.REGION, PSPR_temp.STUD_FML,
PSPR_temp.PARN_FML,
PSPR_temp.OB_STAJ, PSPR_temp.SP_STAJ, PSPR_temp.SN_PASPORT, PSPR_temp.NN_PASPORT, PSPR_temp.DV_PASPORT,
PSPR_temp.WG_PASPORT
FROM STUDENTs_temp INNER JOIN
PSPR_temp ON STUDENTs_temp.REG_NOM = PSPR_temp.REG_NOM
gets an error 'The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value'. Tell me please how can make type casting return NULL if convertion isn't possible.

Hi,
I have a table with the following structure:
Table: Meeting
ID integer not null
Desc text null
Here Col 'Desc' is a text type stores description. I have used the following UPDATE query:
UPDATE Meeting SET Desc='New Updated text......' + ' ' + CAST(Desc as varchar) WHERE ID=100
Issues:
1. Since i did'nt specify lenth for varchar it takes only 30 chars from existing value and added to the edited text.
2. If i give like this CAST(Desc as varchar(8000)); it might take only first 8000 chars; remaining would be truncated correct? I assume that will happen.
3. If i don't use CAST i get error msg: "Invalid operator for type.."
Is there any work around in this situation? or better way to do it.
Looking for your help.
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
How do I change the format of the Date:
2006-06-01 00:00:00.000
to this:
06-01-2006.
I believe this can be done with a Cast.
Am I correct?

I have a problem with CASTING
I have a CASE stmt, i check a var that is an int in the db, but based on values i wanna display strings.
so
CASE var1
WHEN var1 = 51 THEN 'Level 1'
WHEN var1 = 52 THEN 'Level 2'
ELSE var1
END as x
This gives me Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'Level 1' to data type int.
Fair enough
but when i try to cast it it still gives me the same error ?
CASE CAST(var1 as varchar(10))
WHEN var1 = 51 THEN 'Level 1'
WHEN var1 = 52 THEN 'Level 2'
ELSE var1
END as x

Will this sql view works and cast theSVCCODE field into a varchar, I need to cast the reseult of this,SUBSTRING(CAST(SVCCODE AS varchar), 1, 4) AS [Dept #], back in to a decimalformat. I am dropping this view onto a form and need to link to a field onthe form that is in decimal format.The only way I could get this to work was to create another view, based onthe one above, and cast the [Dept #] field back into the decimal format. Isthere any better way to do this? Can I nest the Cast command?Hope this makes sense.Thanks in advance.Mikem charney at dunlap hospital dot org

I'm trying to cast the variable Alumni and keep getting a "The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::
Alumni" differs from the current variable type" error. The resultset from Records is a varchar(max) and the variable Alumni is a string. I found a blog that says to cast the result column to a max size limit. I want to do it this way so I can put the result in the message of a send mail task.
Here is the blog.

We have a 3rd party application that connects to our SQL 2005 as a external database source.
Our external database has a 'datein' field that for some reason is stored as a varchar(50).
I can use cast to convert the field to datetime, but how would I then format to the yyyy-mm-dd format in the same select statement(using in view)?
I need to convert this field to a format of YYYY-MM-DD in order for the 3rd party application to search on it correctly.
Below is an example of the data --
FieldName = DateIn
DateType = Varchar(50)
