Converting Number To Text
Jul 20, 2005
Hi,
I have two tables. One of them has a text field, and the other has a numeric
(integer) field that serves a similar purpose. I want to connect (UNION
actually) the two tables, and store the text from the first table in the
same field as the number from the other.
For example:
SELECT TextID AS ID
FROM W1
UNION
SELECT NumericID AS ID
FROM W2
The above query results in a type mismatch error due to trying to store an
Int in a text field. I have tried the SQL CONVERT function, but the docs
seem to indicate that it is just for Dates. In any case, it hasn't worked
for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I've converted a date field to a number. I'd then like to concatenate this with another number field.
(CONVERT(bigint,convert(datetime,[Date of Incident])) + ' ' + cast([Incident Number]as nvarchar(4))) as 'lookup'
Using the code above only returns the converted date to number field.

I am loading data from an iseries into a sql server 2005 DB. Our dates are stored as a numeric value in a format of CYYMMDD where C = Century indicator 20'th is 0 and 21'st is 1, YY = Year, MM = Month and DD = Day!
Today would be 1070701. Now I want to use a derived column which which would be of type date using an expression to do the conversion.
Usually, we would add 19000000 to the number to give us 20070701 then I'd convert it to a string and then substring into a date format.
I'm just getting started with SQL 2005 so I don't know how to do this using an expression.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gray

I have a database table with 2 numeric fields. The values to be inserted into these fields come from text boxes in an ASP.NET page. So in the parameters to add into these fields I simply use 'textbox1.text' & textbox2.text'.
One of the fields accepts the data within the text box and adds it into the appropriate numeric data field in the table. However on the other text box I get an error message 'Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric.'
Does anyone know why this occurs just on the one entry and not the other?, and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get around this please let me know.
Many Thanks

I am using DTS to import text to a table. This mostly works except for the 'DateTime' datatype where I always run into either 'Arithmetic overflow' or 'Unable to convert varchar to DateTime format.' I can convert same data without incident in Access.
Has anyone run into this problem?

Hi all,
My organization have a web-based application and needs it to support multilingual so we will be adapting our app to use unicode. However, one of our problems is to convert existing data from text to ntext. I couldn't find anything that document this. What is the best way to do that? I would like to be able to migrate the data from an existing text column to another ntext column in the table.
If I can't do that, what are the options? If it's possible, I would like to be able to do this in sql script.
Thanks a mil, in advance.
Eddie

Hello all,
New to the forums here. I'm not a beginner with SQL, but nor am I a SQL developer - network engineer who knows some scripting and the fundamentals of DB design/administration. There's the background.
I have a database of client information where a date is keyed in and stored as text. Because this is entered by end-users, the way it's entered varies - 1/1/2001, 01/01/2001, etc. Most use "1/1/2001" (note the date is not the same for each record)
I have 4,000 records to update and I need to try to convert the text string to the correct date - changing 1/1/2005 to the same date in proper date/time format. My database uses datetime as an integer calculating the number of days from 12/30/1800. Today's date would be 75508. Time is separated into different fields.
I can do the work to update the text to a single format to make the conversion easier, but I am having trouble locating the proper way to write a convert function to do this. I've searched online (which is how I came here) and have searched the forums without luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Table contains field defined as text. First 12 characters will be date format 'mm/dd/yyyy'. then the next 3 characters could be:
9A, 12P, 3P, 7A or LTL
I would like to convert '9A' to be 09:00AM, so that I can sort by that converted field.
'12P to be 12:00PMÂ Â Â and so on....
I have tried various form of case with substring and convert commands, but cant' get the solution. I can not change text field to varchar in table.

Hi ya... About to tear my hair out.
I thought i fixed this problem, as it WORKED about two days ago, but now I'm getting errors.
I have a series of text files, some are delimited, some are fixed width. I previously was able to import these files thru a dts package by creating the table in a stored procedure. Exple:
CREATE TABLE [Pol_Dump073104]
(
[Product_Type] varchar (12) NULL,
[Benefit] float NULL,
[Base_Premium] varchar (12) NULL,
[Rider_Premium] float NULL,
[Contract_Value] float NULL,
)
I then import the text file into the table and then cast the float datatypes as money in a select into statement to do aggregate functions on the money fields. this worked previously, but now I'm receiving this: 'Error converting datatype char to money.' I tried to convert to float and received the same error, only with float where the word money was.
Please help! :mad:
Thanks

IÂ have a csv file and I would like to load this file by SSIS in SQL Server.
One column of this file contains xml infos (it is about 60000 charachter), and I would like to have an xml column in Table in SQL Server.
From here the only ssis types, which able to contain so much character are DT_NTEXT and DT_TEXT.
If I want to have xml type in the target table in sql server, these both DT_NTEXT and DT_TEXT should be converted to DT_WSTR.
The Problem is:Â DT_WSTRÂ can only contains 4000 charcters. In my situation with this infos, I can't have an xml column in target table in sql server.

I have a column that I'm trying to call into a calculated measure to determine an expected contract amount (Terms in Month). The problem is that some of the terms are defined as text strings (MTM, Coterminous, One-time) while others are numbers (12, 36, etc). The entire column is recognized as text. I have a numeric value that management has agreed would be an acceptable substitution (MTM=1, Coterminous=6) and so on. I can't however, figure out how to convert those texts to a number since they are different data types. I've tried a nested IF statement, as well as a LOOKUPVALUE..I'm doing this in Power Pivot, so am limited to DAX formulas

Hi!
I have a bit of a problem with importing (DTS Package) from a text file into an existing DB.
The file has no column names and every file only contain 1 row. This row varies in number of columns.
My first thought was to create a table with the maximum numbers oc columns that can appear in the text file.
An example:
Table with 4 columns; Col001, Col002, Col003 and Col004
The first text file:
123,Peter,Ocean Street,NY
The second text file:
356,John,Park Avenue
My aim is that the second file should append to the table, leaving Col004 as (NULL)
Any ideas how to get this to work?
Expekt

Hello,
I use the full-text search utility in SQL Server 2005 to find word in PDFs document.
This is my 'Documents' table:
id (PK), data (VarBinary(max)), extension (nvarchar(4))
My full-text catalog on 'data' column works fine because when I search 'Microsoft', my document containing this word is returned as result.
SELECT * FROM Documents WHERE freetext([data], 'Microsoft');
1 | 0x255044.... | .pdf
But I need to know how many times 'Microsoft' word appears in this document.
Do you have any idea how can I retrieve this information?
Thanks in advance!
