I have the following stored procedure for creating a transaction record and after inserting the record, the transaction id is returned.
-----------------------------------------------------
DECLARE @TransactionID int
<------ INSERT statement (after inserting the record, select the identity ID) --------->
Select @TransactionID = @@Identity
RETURN
------------------------------------------------------
.
.
.
Dim transactionID As Integer
connection.Open()
Dim reader As SqlDataReader
reader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
Dim p3 As New SqlParameter("@TransactionID", SqlDbType.Int)
p3.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
transactionID = Convert.ToInt16(p3.Value)
connection.Close()
.
.
.
I wanna retrieve the transactionID of the newly inserted record so that I can use it in my next step of inserting a new record to another table which has reference to the transactionID as a foreign key. However, I encountered error and suspect that it is due to the conversion of the output to Integer as it worked when I tested using dummy Integers.
I tried many different ways of conversion but couldn't resolve the error. Could anyone help?
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.
Hi All I'm getting an error that says that this can't be converted to an integer. Here is the line that gets the error. dt = ((DataView)(EventDataSource1.Select(dssa))).ToTable() I have also tried. dt = (DataView)(EventDataSource1.Select(dssa); I am programming in VB here is teh rest of my code. Dim EventDataSource1 As New SqlDataSource()EventDataSource1.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ASPNETDBConnectionString").ToStringDim dssa As New DataSourceSelectArguments()Dim EventID As String = ""Dim DataView = ""Dim dt As New Data.DataTableDim conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ASPNETDBConnectionString").ToString())Dim cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SELECT EventID FROM Event WHERE ([StartDate] = @StartDate)", conn)EventDataSource1.SelectCommand = ("SELECT EventID FROM Event WHERE ([StartDate] = @StartDate)")conn.Open()dt = ((DataView)(EventDataSource1.Select(dssa))).ToTable()EventID = dt.Rows(0)(0).ToString()EventDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("@StartDate",StartDate)EventID = cmd.ExecuteScalar()
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.

Hi, I am extracting data from DB2 into SQL server using DTS. We have the data type char(5) in DB2 and int in SQL server. I tried to give the select integer(columname) as columname from tablename in data source. I did parse the query it was Ok but If I tried to execute that giving the following error. Can you give me your answere for this issue.

In a table, I store an integer to represent a day of the week (1 = sunday ) and then in procedures, compare that to datepart(dw, getdate()) to do alternative tasks on certain days.
If I have the number 1, is there a built in function to convert that to sunday or should one just write a function to do just that?
declare @found int; set @found = 'select sid from StickyContent where StickyId='+0+' and UserId='+171 exec (@found) delete from StickyContent where sid = @found
I need to pass this statement from my UI i.e in a single query. I am getting this error.
"Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'select sid from StickyContent where StickyId=' to data type int. "
I want to convert a string into an interger so that my parameter can get one value, and have a seperate matrix list the value before the value selected.
My parameter is year. The user picks the year. And i want the crashcounts for the year displayed in the matrix. Then i have another matrix with a dataset similiar. I want this seperate Matrix/Dataset to display the previous year.
SO if the user selects 2004 from the dropdown. 2004 is displayed in the first matrix, and 2003 is displayed in the second matrix. The year attribute is in string format, and i cant change it in the cube. So i was told it could be converted in reporting services. with this
I have imported a text file with various data into sql table. all these values have been imported as nvarchar. I need to convert these into Integer. the format of the values is 10length i.e. 0000000.00. example of data: 0001028.99 - needs to be shown as 1028.99 222.00 - needs to be shown as 222.00 0000190.89 - needs to be shown as 190.89 2708.99 - needs to be shown as 2708.99 00000-50.99 - needs to be shown as -50.99 -109.79 - needs to be shown as -109.70
as you can see some of the values have leading zeros and some don't. i have tried converting from nvarchar to int and i get the error cannot convert nvarchar to int, i believe it may be because the data contains negative values as well as positive values.
Is there a split function or position function which i can use to extract the data? or any other methods which i can use would be really helpful.
In VBA, CLng(Now) will return the integer portion of a date CLng(Now) returns 41928, CDate(41928) then returns 10/16/2014. Is there something equivalent in SQL Server that will allow me to convert an integer value to a date?
In short, how can I convert a 100 year date to Gregorian (any format)?
I am querying DB2 from SSRS. I get an interger back that represents a time like this: HHMMSS (The data type in DB2 is an integer.) I would like to make this representation of the time display a little more friendly. Does anyone have a good idea on how I can change the query or SSRS format to display semi-colons to break up the hours, minutes and seconds? Also, the other issue is that since I don't get leading zeros back....they probably need to be added to this value if the value is not a full 6 characters.
I have a table of zip codes, some with Canadian zips. I'd like to takea zip code and search for nearby zips. For example:Dim theZip As Integer = textbox1.text....Parameter.Add(@ziplow, SqlDbType.Int, 5).Value = (theZip - 10)....Parameter.Add(@ziphigh, SqlDbType.Int, 5).Value = (theZip + 10)SELECT * from ZIPCODES where Cast(zip_code as Integer) BETWEEN @lowzipAND @highzipProblem is the letters in the Canadian records cannot be cast asintegers for this process. I get this error:Syntax error converting the varchar value '53151 1' to a column of datatype int.Is there a SQL query that can exclude if no cast can be made to anInteger?Thanks!Anton
I have 1 files, one is .sql and another is stored procedure. SQL file will call the stored procedure by passing the variables setup in the SQL file.

I need to convert a a string column to integer. Before converting, I need to check if it has blank values then convert it to NULL. Someone told me that its easier to convert it to NULL before converting to integer.
I have to use the above comma separated values into a SQL Search query whose datatype is integer. How would i do this Search query in the IN Operator of SQL Server. My query is :
declare @id varchar(50) set @id= '3,4,6,7' set @id=(select replace(@id,'''',''))-- in below select query Id is of Integer datatype select *from ehsservice where id in(@id)
But this query throws following error message:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '3,4,6,7' to data type int.
I have a strange problem. I have some code that executes a sql query. If I run the query in SQL server query analyzer, I get a set of data returned for me as expected. This is the query listed on lines 3 and 4. I just manually type it into query analyzer. Yet when I run the same query in my code, the result set is slightly different because it is missing some data. I am confused as to what is going on here. Basically to examine the sql result set returned, I write it out to an XML file. (See line 16). Why the data returned is different, I have no idea. Also writing it out to an XML file is the only way I can look at the data. Otherwise looking at it in the debugger is impossible, with the hundreds of tree nodes returned. If someone is able to help me figure this out, I would appreciate it. 1. public DataSet GetMarketList(string region, string marketRegion)2. {3. string sql = @"SELECT a.RealEstMarket FROM MarketMap a, RegionMap b " + 4."WHERE a.RegionCode = b.RegionCode"; 5. DataSet dsMarketList = new DataSet();6. SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(intranetConnStr); 7. SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql,sqlConn);8. sqlConn.Open();9. SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); 10. try11. {12. adapter.Fill(dsMarketList); 13. String bling = adapter.SelectCommand.CommandText;//BRG 14. dsMarketList.DataSetName="RegionMarket"; 15. dsMarketList.Tables[0].TableName = "MarketList"; 16. dsMarketList.WriteXml(Server.MapPath ("myXMLFile.xml" )); // The data written to 17. myXMLFile.xml is not the same data that is returned when I run the query on line 3&4 18. // from the SQL query 19. } 20. catch(Exception e) 21. { 22. // Handle the exception (Code not shown)
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
My question is, i guess, a simple one: When is it more convenient to use a uniqueid Data Type instead of a smallint, tinyint, bigint, etc (any type of int) when the field is gonna be the primary key for the table?
i have an autonumber field (primary key) and another integer field as part of a table. What i want to do is when a record is created, the default value of the integer field should be the_autonumber+1000 for eg record with pk 82 will have an integer field that's automatically 1082. Would it be possible to do this ? Thanks in advance.
