Hi Everyone,
My SQL Query is :
"select Field1 from table1"
The Field1 in Database is of Type "nvarchar" . I need to convert this Field into "integer" in the Query itself.Please Help!!
I have already tried
"Select convert(int, Field1 ) from table1"
The field gives zero output
Thanks
Regards

I wish to return a list of selected integers as a single string. So instead of getting
24
36
48
I get 24/36/48.
My select query:
SELECT CONVERT (varchar(10), quantity) + '/' FROM flexing_stock_transactions WHERE item = 'CH' AND week = 35 GROUP BY quantity ORDER BY quantity
returns
24/
36/
48/
How can I achieve my goal please?
I have a parameter value as shown below and this is dynamic and can grow
Example : 101-NY, 102-CA, 165-GA
116-NY, 258-NJ, 254-PA, 245-DC, 298-AL
How do I get the values in the below format
NY,CA,GA --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state
NY,NJ,PA,DC,AL --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state
correct query that will fetch only state names and not the numbers.
CREATE TABLE USERTABLE(
USERID int,
USERNAME varchar(20));
INSERT INTO USERTABLE VALUES (1,'x');
INSERT INTO USERTABLE VALUES (2,'y');
INSERT INTO USERTABLE VALUES (3,'z');
CREATE TABLE ACCESSTABLE(
ACCESSTYPE varchar(50),
USERIDS varchar(20));
INSERT INTO ACCESSTABLE VALUES('Enabled Users','1,2');
INSERT INTO ACCESSTABLE VALUES('Disabled Users','3');
Select USERNAME from USERTABLE where USERID IN (select USERIDS from ACCESSTABLE where ACCESSTYPE='Enabled Users');
I get the following error for the above query.
Syntax error converting the varchar value '1,2' to a column of data type int.
Please advice me.
I need to search a nvarchar field based on the format of the text. This field holds values in two formats: 000 000 000 000 and 000000. I only want to search through the records that are in the 000 000 000 000 format. Can anyone give me direction on how to go about doing this or give me some key words to search for on Google? Fixing this problem is not an option. This is a county tax DB from a poor county with almost a million records in it.
Thanks for the help!
Dear Experts,Ok, I hate to ask such a seemingly dumb question, but I'vealready spent far too much time on this. More that Iwould care to admit.In Sql server, how do I simply change a character into a number??????In Oracle, it is:select to_number(20.55)from dualTO_NUMBER(20.55)----------------20.55And we are on with our lives.In sql server, using the Northwinds database:SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2)) as a_number,cast ( STR(r.regionid) as int ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2) ) as a_number,cast (STR(r.regionid,7,2) as numeric ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044Str converts from number to string in one motion.Isn't there a simple function in Sql Server to convertfrom string to number?What is the secret?Thanks
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've imported a number of excel sheets into a Power Query Table. All seems to appear ok until I load the data. Of the 15k rows around 2k have a similar error where it cannot convert an integer to type string as below example
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value 40 to type Text.
Details:
Value=40
Type=Type
The columns in question are all of integer type, I've looked through the M query and there is no conversion to string taking placeThe values where we don't get the error are also integers hence the intriguing question is why does the error occur on a subset and not the others. I suspect there is a limit to the number of errors also somewhere internally M query is converting the column to text for some reason.
Can some one help me convert plain text to reach text format using t-sql

I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip"
or
"tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip"
or
"airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234
123
12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.
using sql 2008, trying to convert a string to int
Example
Table1 has a varchar which i want to cast to int
00125000000 to int 125000000
i used the following
cast(B.[Assessment] as int) as [USER1_01],
with the result 125000000
Table2 has the same field in a different format.
0.00125
i need to find a way to convert one of them so they both match. if i did a join and matched the fields.
I tried
cast (10000000000 * cast([USER1_01] as NUMERIC(6,6)) as INT) as [USER1_01]
but for some reason it dosent look like they match, although they look the same. maybe a type problem?
Hello.
I'm wondering how I CONVERT or CAST a column of type TEXT to INT with T-SQL ?
Also, is there anyway to catch an error in a Stored Procedure. For example if you try to convert a CHAR column to INT when the column has an 'a' in it, can I try to convert and if it did't work I do something else ?
Or is there a way to check if a column has only numbers ?
Thanks for any help, the CONVERT Text to Int is the most urgent ...

Hi,
I have a column with records as follows:
5 days
7 days
15 days
20 days
30 days
60 days
100 days

How can I only take out only the numeric part and make sure that this will be displayed as value as I have to make calculations using that value...
Please help

Hi folks,
I'm trying to import data from a text file (UnicodeData.txt) into
an SQL table. Some of the fields are unicode values (16 bits)
expressed as four hexidecimal digits. I've succeeded in importing
the data as character strings, but I have not found a way to convert
them into numbers. (They could be stored as int or nchar.)
I've tried convert(binary/int/whatever, string); E.g.
select convert(int, '0x1111') from import_unicode
gives the error
Syntax error converting the varchar value '0x1111' to a column of data type int.
I could write code to strip off one character at a time, convert the
hex digit to a decimal value, shift left, etc., but I find it hard
to believe that's the best way.
Any help is appreciated. Please email answer to lars_huttar@sil.org
as I don't read this board.
Thanks,

I'm using SQL 7.0 SP1.
I am using DTS to read in a date with the format of YYYYMMDD. I am trying to convert this date to MM/DD/YYYY and then use the CDate function with the following code to load it into a Datetime column in SQL Server:
Function Main()
strDate = DTSSource("Col002")
strYear = Left(strDate, 4)
strMonth = Mid(strDate, 5, 2)
strDay = Right(strDate, 2)
strHoldDate = strMonth + "/" + strDay + "/" + strYear
DTSDestination("DateName") = strHoldDate
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
My DTS package will execute without errors, but it does not add the row. I have been successful using CDate when the source date is in the format MM/DD/YYYY.
Also, do you have any tips on how to debug DTS? How to see what's in a variable, etc.?
Thanks!

To start, I am NOT a SQL programmer. I have to do some minimal SQL administration (DB Creation, Backups, Security) on spatial databases that are for the most part managed by a 3rd party program. My experience with T-SQL is mostly simple tasks (i.e. Select and Update statements)..However I have been requested to calculate an ID Field using the values of two other fields. Per the request, I need to convert one field to Hex and concatenate with the second field.
ex. Field 1 + Field 2(hex string) = Field 3
Field 1 = 'FF02324323'
Field 2 = 'Smith Creek'
Field 3 = 'FF02324323536D69746820437265656B'
Field 1 VarChar(10) (Code)
Field 2 VarChar(65) (Common Name)
Field 3 VarChar(max) (ResourceID)
Spent half the day searching and have tried various forms of CAST, CONVERT, fn_varbintohexstr and others but have unable to come up with the correct combination to get what I need.
In our ERP system we have a field which is a date-picker in the user front end, but the value is stored in an NVARCHAR field and not always consistently. How can I convert this to a date (preferably in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM) that I could use in a calculation?

Hi all,
I defined an user string type varible in the package as AccountLen. I am trying to use this varible in the Expression of Derived Column transformation.
I want to retrieve a part of column, i.e: Right(Column1, @AccountLen), this is always wrong because the AccountLen is string type. How I can convert it to the numeric so that can be used in the RIGHT function?
Thanks

Hi,
I am getting an issue when i try to run a package which was validated against an oracle database on windows with UTF8. When I try to run the same package(no changes, just changing the conenction parameters to point to an oracle database on UNIX with UTF16), the package fails with error saying cannot convert unicode to string for string columns.
The same run through fine if I refresh the metadata against the UNIX database, but then it doesnt run against the Windows database.
Can anyone please suggest how to overcome this scenario. My issue is, I need to run my package against various database(by just pointing the database connection details) without changing anything in the package.
Please suggest.
Thanks,

I'm trying to figure out how to convert an INT so that I can add it to another string in a statement likeSELECT '<a href="http://mydomain.com/' + [IntValue] + '">' + [LinkName]Where [IntValue] is an INT field containing a folder number. I tried: TO_CHAR([IntValue, '999')but it didn't work. And I tried to find a TO_STRING function, but had no luck.Any advice to someone who is savy, but new to SQL Queries?

Dear all,
I have 30 tables with the same stracture (01 to 30). One of the fields is duration but has a text data type.
Is there a way to convert the duration field into "Time" date type with format "Long Time" using one query only?
If i have to have one query for each table, can i create a new query or a procedure through a command button that runs all the queries?
Thank you
