Hello!
I have a column tData with char(10)datatype - dd/mm/yyyy.
I try to convert them to datetime, here is statement:
select convert (datetime(103),tData)
from Test1
As result I have got error message:
conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in
an out-of-range datetime value.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks a lot.
HI,I have a table with IDENTITY column with the datatype as INTEGER. Nowthis table record count is almost reaching its limt. that is totalrecord count is almost near to 2^31-1. It will reach the limit with inanother one or two months.In order to avoid the arithmentic overflow error 8115, we would likechange the datatype from INT to BIGINT. we hope this will solve ourproblem.How do I approch this datatype conversion?. Since the data count ishuge, that leads to a long down time of database.we need better approach or solution for this problem?. kindly give mea better solution that will reduce the total downtime of the productiondatabase.?.Regards

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a column which has 05MAY2006:04:34:00.000000 it is stored as varchar(25). I need to save it as datetime in the same column. I have tried using
update tablename
set columnname = (SUBSTRING(columnname,1,2) + '-' + SUBSTRING(columnname,3,3) + '-' +
SUBSTRING(columnname,6,4) + ' ' + SUBSTRING(columnname,11,8));

alter table tablename
alter columnname datetime;
but later it shows up the error

How do I change it any other opinion or any modification for the above query.
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.
Hi,
I need to take a value from a textbox and insert it into a field in my database which takes decimals. My problem, no matter what I try I cannot convert the value so that the database will accept it. This all happens when the submit button is hit on my webpage. Here is the cmdSubmit_click sub code:
Dim surveyNum As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(txtSurveyNum.Text, Globalization.NumberStyles.Number)
myCmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO survey(ID) VALUES('" & surveyNum & "')"
myCmd.Parameters.Add("surveyNum", SqlDbType.Decimal)
myCmd.Parameters("surveyNum").Value = System.Convert.ToDecimal(txtSurveyNum.Text)
myConn.Open()
Try
myCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
lblMessage.Text = "Record successfully updated"
Catch
lblMessage.Text = "Query error: " & Err.Description
End Try
myConn.Close()
Thnx in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I have a varchar column that inludes dates in the following fomat: 03032007? When I try to cast this to datetime, I keep getting "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime." error. Maybe someone has some ideas how to handle this?
Thanks!
Exception in one of the stored procs:
Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value to datatype int. After moving database from 2000 to 2005.
Using backup and restore.
Note I had the same issue after restoring the production database on my local server SQL2000->SQL2000.
The problem was solved by restoring master and msdb from the production. But I can't do this on the SQL2005.
This is not a collation issue as I have ensured collation is the same on all databases including the system ones.
The database in question makes extensive use of user defined data types (Which I have recreated on the destination server).
Can anyone please help?

I'm editing an SSIS package. The source column has datatype float and the data is stored like 1,2 instead of 1.2. To change this into a period instead of comma there is a derived column step in the ssis package. The expression in this derived column step to change this goes as:<o:p></o:p> (DT_STR ,32,1 252)(REPLACE((DT_STR,32,1252)SUBSCHAAL_SCORE,",","."))<o:p></o:p>
where SUBSCHAAL_SCORE is the name of the column. As you see the data is converted into a string. I need it to be converted into a numeric datatype (18,6) instead of string/varchar but it must also handle the first issue with changing the comma into a period. <o:p></o:p>

I have a computed column that I want to cast as decimal.
The two columns it calculates from are both varchar.
Why can I cast the column as INT, but when I try to cast as decimal, I get the following error?
Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric.
what this error means and why I get it only when I want to cast to decimal.

Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B

I have a USERS database table with a column called IsValidated. It identifies if a user has been validated.
I'd like to know which datatype would be the most efficient for this column.
Our DBA made it a varchar(1) column. Would using int be better?
Please advice.
I have a message box or multiline textbox on my form and I am storing into an SQL DB. I currently have it as a VARCHAR, but that doesn't seem to store the carriage returns. Do I have to store them as a nvarchar, text, ntext or something else to make the returns show? I am pulling them out of the DB and showing them in a label where I replace the with a <br>.
tempMessage = Dr("Message")
message.Text = tempMessage.Replace("", "<br />")

Over the years I have always used the decimal(18,0) as the datatype forprimary keys. Aside from the number of significant numbers involved,would BigInt type be better for performance or is decimal(18,0) still okay.--Don VaillancourtDirector of Software DevelopmentWEB IMPACT INC.phone: 416-815-2000 ext. 245fax: 416-815-2001email: Join Bytes! <mailto:donv@webimpact.com>web: http://www.web-impact.comWeb Impact Inc. <http://www.web-impact.com>This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) and containsinformation that may be confidential and/or copyright.If you are not the intended recipient please notify the sender by replyemail and immediately delete this email.Use, disclosure or reproduction of this email by anyone other than theintended recipient(s) is strictly prohibited.
