I have a table that imported as varchar. Most of these columns need to be in a numerical format. How can I convert a table with columns named column0 (needs to be int),column1 (stays varchar), column2(needs to be int), and column 3(needs to be int)?
View 4 RepliesI have one of the sample values in my table. I need to convert below value to Decimal(18,5)
DECLARE @i
VARCHAR
SET @i
= '0.9'
Output i m looking for is 0.90000
select convert(varchar(16), getdate(), 101)+LEFT(REPLACE(convert(varchar, getdate(), 108), ':', ''),4)
From above query I get
mmddyyyyhhmm
but it' s yyyy and hour can not be separated
04/12/200702:05
How can I separated the year and hour ?
Thanks

I have this query:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchiseid AS FranchiseId, dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_brandidname AS Brand,
dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchisetypename AS [Franchise Type], dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchisenumber AS [Franchise Number],
dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_transactiontypename AS [Transaction Type], dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchisestatusname AS [Status Code],
[Code] ....
I need to pivot this so I can get one row per franchiseID and multiple columns for [Franchisee Name Entity] and [Franchise Name Individual]. Each [Franchisee Name Entity] and [Franchise Name Individual] has associated percentage of ownership.
This has to be dynamic, because each FranchiseID can have anywhere from 1 to 12 respective owners and those can be any combination of of Entity and Individual. Please, see the attached example for Franchise Number 129 (that one would have 6 additional columns because there are 3 Individual owners with 1 respective Percentage of ownership).
The question is how do I PIVOT and preserve the percentage of ownership?
I am trying to run this statement
Select Calims, ProCode From Inquiry Where ProCode Between 80000 and 89999
ProCode is a varchar but I am still checking a range on it.
It seem to work fine but then there is some invalid data entry in this column
for example 'abace' or '100i' so I get the error.
1) how I can exclude them out of my query.
Someone suggested the following but I dont understand how do achieve that. thanks
" However, there would appear to be different data types. If Value is a character
--based type then you may want to limit the search by first extracting numeric values
-- with something like ISNUMERIC(Value) = 1 and then converting them to numerics using
--the convert function - CONVERT(int, Value) BETWEEN 10000 and 20000."

I have a datetime column and I would like to update another column in the same table with the varchar value of date. e.g. date column has 06-08-2008 as a value. I would like to have the same value in the varchar field.
wondering which function can I use to accomplish this task?
thanks
Hi
I have a varchar field with values like "Jun 13 1995 12:" I want to change the type of the field to Date and the format of the values to "mm/dd/yyyy".
If I change the type of the field in the design view to Date, SQL gives me an error saying that the type cannot be changed and data would be lost.
So I think changing the dates to the mm/dd/yyyy format first and then changing the field type from varchar to date would work.
Can someone please help me as how to do this.
Thanks

I need help converting a varchar field to binary.
I have a Data Control Task that has a OLE DB Source and corresponding OLE DB Destination Data Flow Task. In the referenced source table there exists a field defined as a varchar(12), in the corresponding destination table it is defined as a binary(12). How do I perform this conversion?
I tried inserting a Data Conversion Task and assigning the new data type as byte stream[DT_BYTES] and a Length = 12, but this was a bust. Output test is as follows:
Error: 0xC020901C at DFT - Windows, OLE_SRC - Windows [1]: There was an error with output column "Payload" (40) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (12). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Can anyone help me out here?

hi, good day, if i have a table as follow:
Create table test
(
student_name varchar(20),
student id varchar(20),
register_dt varchar(50)
)
and insert data like
insert into test values('rebecca','0001','2006-08-08 12:15:03')
after all , i would like to query the data and insert into another table say data_tbl where it define as follow
Create table data_tbl
(
student_name varchar(20),
student id varchar(20),
register_dt datetime
)
would the test table regiter_dt auto convert into datetime format or we need to convert it before insert into data_tbl table?
I have a field in my database that is stored as varchar. The values are usually contain a decimal, and should have really been a float or decimal. In order for me to do analytics in my BI environment, I need to convert this to a float or decimal.
eg of values.
10.00
20.00
0.00
15.00
or could be missing when I use cast(value as float) or cast(value as decimal(9,2)) or convert(float, value) I get an error
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 2
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
