A SQL Server 2005 db has three date related-columns (MonthGiven, DayGiven, YearGiven) each as smallint datatype. I would like to create a DocDate column (datetime datatype) that combines the data from the three existing date-related columns. I have tried casting and simple concatentation without success. ALTER TABLE Details ADD DocDate DateTime NULL
UPDATE Details SET DocDate = CAST(MonthGiven AS DateTime)+ '/' + CAST(DayGiven AS DateTime) + "/" Cast(YearGiven As DateTime) I think I need to be doing a Conversion instead of casting but have been unable to implement info I have found in the SQL Server Developer Center in my situation.
I'm trying to convert a nvarchar datatype to int (ie:1234-56-78 to 12345678) . These values are primary keys in two tables. Both these tables have 3500 rows of this key type. I want to convert this to a int so I can make it a AutoNumber primary key so I can increment it. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it. Do I need to delete the dashes first some how? I fairly new to database adminstration, so any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Columns from database have values like 1,5 etc and I'm getting the error: Syntax error converting the nvarchar value '1,5' to a column of data type int. when trying to convert from nvarchar to int: SELECT CONVERT(int, MyNVarChar_column) FROM MyTable What I'm doing wrong? Thanks a lot
i have some fields in SQL Server table as nvarchar(50) and the user actually enters date (example : 02/05/07) now they want those fields to be converted to datetime or small datetime field.
I have a field in nvarchar type. It contains data like 0, :23, 1:57, ... all in minutes and seconds. Now, I need to convert it to MM:SS using query and get the Average of this column. How can I do it? I have tried Avg(Convert(nvarchar(20), [Calling Time], 108)) .. but I got error : The average aggregate operation cannot take a nvarchar data type as an argument.Help!!!! :(
Hi there,I have a table named Action. This table has a column InPrice with datatypenvarchar(12). I want to change its datatype from nvarchar(12) to money.

When I try tochange the datatype from nvarchar to money, following mesage is displayed:ADO error: Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value hasincorrect syntax.How can I solve this problem? I cannot figure out which values are causingthis error.Thanks in advance,Burak
I have a problem converting a float filed into nvarchar. select cast(sold as varchar(50)) where sold=431597.15 results in 431597 and is ignoring always my decimals. Do you have any idea how to fix this? ty
I used to work with Sql 2000 and I could easily import a text file into my database and then convert the fields (all nvarchar) to appropriate data types. However, this procedure does not work with Sql 2005.
After I import a text file to Sql 2005 and when I convert nvarchar to numeric, I get "Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric".
Could you please let me know how can I fix this issue. Thanks in advance for your reply.
One of my clients decided to put letters into their customers' account numbers. They have a numbering scheme where all temporary accounts have a letter in the account OR are numbered greater than 33000, and all permanent accounts are all digits and less than or equal to 33000. all primary accounts have a NumberSuffix of 000.
Now i am tasked with retrieving all primary, non-temp accounts. I cannot simply do WHERE Number <= 33000 because when it gets to an account containing a letter like "00A01", it craps out and says "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '00A01' to data type int."
So decided to run a filtering query first to filter out all accounts with letters, and then from that dataset select all accounts <=33000.
WITH members (FirstName, LastName, Number, NumberSuffix) AS ( SELECT dbo.Entity.FirstName, dbo.Entity.LastName, dbo.Entity.Number, dbo.Entity.NumberSuffix FROM dbo.Entity WHERE NumberSuffix = 000 AND Number NOT LIKE '%A%' AND Number NOT LIKE '%B%' AND Number NOT LIKE '%C%' AND Number NOT LIKE '%D%' AND Number NOT LIKE '%E%' AND Number NOT LIKE '%F%' AND Number NOT LIKE '%G%' AND Number NOT LIKE '%H%' AND Number NOT LIKE '%I%' AND Number NOT LIKE '%J%' ) SELECT * FROM members WHERE Number <= 33000 ORDER BY Number when i do this, i get the same error for some reason. Yet when i execute this at the end instead: SELECT * FROM members WHERE Number LIKE '%A%' ORDER BY Number i get an empty set (meaning it actually does get filtered). but somehow it still able to participate in a range comparison?
Okay, I have the following store procedure and I kept getting an error.

HI, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TRANSFORM AN OLD TABLE TO A NEW FORMAT AND CHANGE SOME OF THE DATATYPE FORMATS USED IN THE OLD ONE. OUT OF WHICH ONE IS A COLUMN CALLED AS FORM_RECEIVE_DATE WHICH HAS NVARCHAR(41) AS DATATYPE IN THE OLD TABLE CREATED BY A PREVIOUS DBA (DON'T KNOW wHY?)
wHILE CONVERTING IT INTO DATATYPE DATETIME , I AM GETTING THIS ERROR :- "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime." i DON'T KNOW WHY
hERE ARE FEW EXAMPLES OF THE DATA CONTAINED IN THE PREVIOUS TABLE :-
I copying data from our Informix 7.2 database into SQL Server 2K using DTS but hitting errors during the process. There appears to be date data within Informix that will not convert properly when moving into SQL. Since the error is appearing at the 1.5million (approx.) record. I figured on changing from datetime to nvarchar. Works like a charm! :-)
My new problem is converting it back to datetime so I can query against the date without having to create scripts to parse the field.
The data in SQL currently looks like this -> 2000-11-29 (nvarchar(50)) I would like to have it -> 11/29/00 (datetime)
I have a column name DateofRecord and it is nvarchar type..all the values in this column are like this
"04/24/2013' "05/01/2014"...etc...
My requirement is to convert this column into Datetime ?
I tried so many ways using cast and convert functions like cast(dateofrecord,datetime) or like convert(datetime,replace(DateofRecord,'"','''')) ..it didnt worked..
I am new to SQL and trying my hand at what I thought would be a simple query to bring back the loan products that are not HMDA reportable - hence the NOT IN and I get an error message after adding the NOT IN...I have read a lot of responses to the issue of an error message of 'Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value' to try and solve the error - and have had no luck. Before I throw my laptop out the window..Here is the error message along with what I thought was a simple query; Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '80/10/10' to data type int.Here is the query;

Hi I have an insert stored procedure with a parameter @eventDate date type date time. I have written a web form that takes the textbox.text value and assigns to the @eventDate parameter using a querystring.

I am using MS SQL Server 2008R2 along with VB 2010.The first question is: why is it even trying to convert anything to numeric? I have NO numeric data types. And I don't have any nvarchar data types either. I'm very confused.Doesn't nchar include any and all characters, in any combination? Should I change everything to text data type? Maybe something else? Some values are going to be blank. The Lab/Source Lots have numbers, letters and dashes.
This is a common error for SQL Server, but I got it in a uncommon way.I have a table called - tblIDNumber where there are two columns - IDN_Number [NVarchar(200)] and Temp [BigInt]
If I run, SELECT * FROM dbo.tblIDNumber WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33 AND IDN_Removed = 0 AND CAST(IDN_Number AS BIGINT) = 1
SQL Server give me the error: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1 Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.
I first thought IDN_Number in type 33 has characters, but it doesn't, becasue the below query works!!!
UPDATE dbo.tblIDNumber SET Temp = CAST(IDN_Number AS BIGINT) WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33 AND IDN_Removed = 0
To workaround, I ran the query,
UPDATE dbo.tblIDNumber SET IDN_Number = '123' WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33 AND IDN_Removed = 0
and then I ran the first query, and SQL Server does NOT give me the same error - Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1 Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.
Second query approved there is nothing wrong from converting the value in IDN_Number to a BigInt, but the third query gave the hint that data might be the cause?????
finally, I found the root cause to be an index that the first query uses :
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_tblIDNumber_Covering] ON [dbo].[tblIDNumber] ( [IDN_Removed] ASC, [IDNumberCode] ASC ) INCLUDE ( [IDN_Number], [IDN_Reference]) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 85) ON [PRIMARY] GO
If I remove the index, the first query works without the error.
I am using rowVersion to detect rows that need to be re-extracted for my ETL. The first step in the ETL is to get MIN_ACTIVE_ROWVERSION() from the database, as well as the rowVersion from the last successful ETL run. Both of these values are saved in variables in SSIS. Since SSIS doesn't have an associated data type, these values are converted to nvarchar(512) before getting sent to SSIS.
I'm now trying to create a stored procedure to grab the data out of the source system. The sproc takes RowVersionMin and RowVersionMax as input parameters. Those parameters are then converted to varbinary(max), and I use them in a query to select the appropriate rows.
When I run the sproc in SSMS, it runs without a problem. However, when I try to use the sproc as a data source in SSIS, I get the following error: "Error converting data type nvarchar to varbinary". Why SSIS has a problem with this, but SSMS does not? The sproc code looks like this:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[dw_DimComment_DataLoad] @RunType varchar(3), @RowVersionMin nvarchar(512), @RowVersionMax nvarchar(512) AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
I'm pretty desperat after trying solving the above problem in several days. I hope somone here can help me :-)
I have this stored procedure. When I try to Execute the storedprocedure where I have a date as parameter I get the above error.
I checked (many times), that the input parameter is a datetime format (30-05-2008) and also I checked the tabel and it is datetime format. I checked the table to see if it was english datetime format - but all the datetimes that are listet are listed in danish datetime format DD-MM-YYYY.
In the stored procedure I try this:
fProjectSkuTimeStamp >= @ReducedTime
I can't figure out where it gets that nvarchar from?
I have a column which is current stored as nvarchar(10), and all of the enteries are either NULL or mm/dd/yyyy. I am trying to convert the column to smalldatetime using CONVERT or CAST and each time I get an arithmetic overflow error message. I also tried selecting just the enteries with ISDATE()=1 and converting those to smalldatetime, and still got an arithmetic overflow message.
(I've run ISDATE() several times on the column, and the only rows without ISDATE()=1 are those which have NULL values).
Hi, I have a webform with a drop-down listbox, binded to a table and a GridView, binded to another table. My goal is when I select a value (country in my case) in the drop-down listbox to change what is shown in the GridView, based on the ID that I get from the drop-down listbox. Here is the code (the important parts...): Select a Country : <asp:DropDownList ID="CountriesDropDownList" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="CountryID" Width="220px" AutoPostBack="True"> </asp:DropDownList> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MyConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [CountryID], [Name] FROM [DS_Country]"> </asp:SqlDataSource> <asp:GridView ID="ProvincesGridView" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="ProvinceID,CountryID,Name,ShortName,Description" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#E7E7FF" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="3" HorizontalAlign="Left" > <Columns> .............................. </Columns> </asp:GridView> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DineSelectConnectionString %>" DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM DS_Province WHERE ProvinceID=@ProvinceID" SelectCommand="SELECT ProvinceID,CountryID,Name,ShortName,Description FROM DS_Province WHERE CountryID=@ddlCountryID" UpdateCommand="UPDATE DS_Province SET CountryID=@CountryID,Name=@Name,ShortName=@ShortName,Description=@Description WHERE ProvinceID=@ddlCountryID" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO DS_Province (CountryID,Name,ShortName,Description) VALUES (@CountryID,@Name,@ShortName,@Description)"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="ddlCountryID" ControlID="CountriesDropDownList" PropertyName="DataValueField" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>
When I run it I get this error "Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'CountryID' to a column of data type int.". If I specify the Type="Int" in <asp:ControlParameter>..</> I get "Input string was not in a correct format. " This is supposed to be easy, but I can't make it work ! Any suggestions will be more than welcome. Thanks.
