Hi all,
I am using a varchar datatype for PIN number to handle zero at start. Now i want to do mathematical calculation to encrypt the PIN so i need to convert that varchar datatype to int so that zero should not be discarted after conversion. i.e. 0123 and 123 must not be treated as same PIN.
Please kindly give me a way out. I am using RSA encryption.
Thanks in anticipation.

How to convert in MS SQL server 2005 from string to Datetime datatype
SELECT
[customer_key] ,

[cust_code_ref] ,
[customer_name],

Giving error:
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
I'm trying to convert a column in my source table of datatype varchar(6) to a column of datatype int in my destination. I tried using the Derived Column/Data Conversion transformations but none of them worked. So, I tried using the following C# (credits to the original poster) and getting an error during compilation.
Note: "MyCol" is the Input Column I've specified in the Script Component and "CleanCol" is the Output column I've specified as datatype [DT_I4].
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
{
int colOut = 0;
if (!Int32.TryParse(Row.MyCol, out colOut))
{
Row.CleanCol_IsNull = true;
} else {
Row.CleanCol = colOut;
}
}
The best overloaded method match for 'int.TryParse(string, out int)' has some invalid arguments
The other expression I've tried was:
ISNULL(MyCol) ? (dt_i4)"" : (dt_i4)MyCol
From the above code, you might have understood that the source field has some blank records as well in the MyCol field.
What is the best possible way to do the conversion from a String to Int or fixing the error from the above.

hi,
How do i convert a varchar field into the datetime data type? the reason i need this lies in the requirement that in the earlier data base the column that is hlding the date value is having the data type as varchar. and in the new design the column data type is datetime. i am using sql scripts for the data migration from the older design to the newer and got stuck with this datetime convertion issue. do let me know the best possible solution.
following are the sample data that is theer in the older table for the date.
12/12/2003
1/13/2007
01132004
1-1-2004
1.2.2001
there is no uniformity of the data that is stored currently.

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 table that contains a lot of demographic information. The data is usually small (<20 chars) but ocassionally needs to handle large values (250 chars). Right now its set up for varchar(max) and I don't think I want to do this.
How does varchar(max) store info differently from varchar(250)? Either way doesn't it have to hold the container information? So the word "Crackers" have 8 characters to it and information sayings its 8 characters long in both cases. This meaning its taking up same amount of space?
Also my concern will be running queries off of it, does a varchar(max) choke up queries because the fields cannot be properly analyzed? Is varchar(250) any better?
Should I just go with char(250) and watch my db size explode?
Usually the data that is 250 characters contain a lot of blank space that is removed using a SPROC so its not usually 250 characters for long.
Any insight to this would be appreciated.

How can I separated the year and hour ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen creating tables:
If varchar expands according to how long the actual string is in each case, then why not set the varchar max characters very high, rather than be conservative about it?
For example, if you think your names will only ever be 30 chars you could set that column to varchar(30).But -- why not go ahead and set the column to varchar(100) anyway to be safe? Or is there some hidden storage cost to using 100 rather than 30 max chars?
We have few stored procedures that use nvarchar datatype, this was not issue on SQL server 7.0 but in 2000 becomes a big issue.
For example query that runs for 3 minutes in SQL server 2000 by replacing NVARCHAR to VARCHAR the same query runs for 2 seconds.
The biggest challenge that I have deals with tables and user-defined datatypes of NVARCHAR that has been bounded to the table.
How can I alter those without data corruption?
here is my code snippet
Session("matricN") = Trim(TextBox1.Text)
Dim txtValue As String
txtValue = Session("matricN")
da = New SqlDataAdapter("select MatricNumber,Name, Roles from Register where MatricNumber = " & txtValue, addRoleConn1)
MatricNumber is in varchar(50) datatype,, the errror says there is a syntax near "="
Hello,
I would like to change the datatype on a particular column from varchar to bigint across 100's of tables within a database.
I have the command ready which is:
ALTER TABLE tablename ALTER COLUMN columnname BIGINT
The problem happening is that it seems there are constraints across all the columns in every tables.
The error message is:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF__tablename__columnname__0ABD916C' is dependent on column 'columnname'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN columnname failed because one or more objects access this column.
I understand that if I delete this constraint, then it will let me modify the datatype of the column, but since there are tons of them and they are randomly named, how do I achive changing the datatype across multiple tables in bulk.
Why can varchar datatype variable only 4000 byte?
For example:
in a storedprocedure
declare @aa varchar(8000)
......
while
select @aa=@aa+@otherinfo
end
when the length is more than 4000 ,the data in the behind will be lost
