How To Convert Varchar Datatype To Int??
Jul 2, 2007Hi 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.

Error When Convert Or Cast Functions From Varchar To XML Datatype
Dec 29, 2007Hi I have a varchar(8000) and currently XML files are stored in varchar(8000).Some times when i am doing manuplactions in my varchar column i am getting with special characters error. so now i want to keep my column varchar(MAX) and when i am doing calculations i will convert my varchar datatype to xml datatype. By doing this i hope there wont be any special character problems.
When i am doing calculations with the wellformed xml i am getting error for both convert and cast methods as below
I am trying to do convert(xml,MyVarcharColumn)
Implicit conversion from data type xml to nvarchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
Also i tried with casting and getting same problme. is there any way to convert
please suggest me
Thanks

Integration Services :: Convert Field Of VARCHAR To INT Datatype In SSIS 2014?
Nov 17, 2015I'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.

Image Datatype In SQL 2000 To Varbinary(max) In SQL 2005
May 9, 2008We used SSIS to move data from a table in SQL 2000 which had a column with the image datatype to a column in a table in SQL 2005 that has a datatype of varbinary(max). No errors were produced from the SSIS package.
There were a number of records where the DATALENGTH of the column with the image datatype was greater than 8000. Was the data truncated for these records?
This is probably a very elementary question, but I am not familiar with the application or the data.
Below is the source table in SQL 2000 and a select count(*) ...
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[LSCHANNELCUTDATA](
[UIDCHANNELCUT] [numeric](19, 0) NOT NULL,
[VALUECODES] [image] NULL,
...
selectcount(*)

VARCHAR(MAX), NVARCHAR(MAX) And VARBINARY(MAX) Support
Feb 12, 2007On the ntext, text, and image (Transact-SQL) page at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187993.aspx
it states
"Important:
ntext, text, and image data types will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using these data types in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use them. Use nvarchar(max), varchar(max), and varbinary(max) instead. For more information, see Using Large-Value Data Types."
Considering this warning, is VARCHAR(MAX), NVARCHAR(MAX) and VARBINARY(MAX) support going to be implemented in SQL Server Compact Edition?

Datatype Question Varchar(max), Varchar(250), Or Char(250)
Oct 18, 2007
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.
Retrieving Varchar(max) And Varbinary(max) Fields With VFP9
Mar 20, 2007I have a test database that contains a varbinary(max) field and a varchar(max) field.
when I do a
Select * from test where id = xx
I get the expected results if my connection string uses
'driver=SQL Server;Server'
but these two fields return no data if I use
'driver=SQL Native Client'
the other fields in the record come back with no problems.
Is there anything special I need to do to retrieve these types of fields?
Can Varbinary And Varchar Lengths Be Declared Dynamically?
Mar 25, 2008I just learned that bit masking a varbinary column can increase it's length in bytes unnecessarily. For example, I ran the following...
declare @v1 varbinary(max)
set @v1 = 0x0100AB
select len(@v1)
set @v1 = @v1 | (len(@v1) - 2) * 256
select master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(@v1)
select len(@v1)
...and get
3
0x00000000000101ab
8
This messes up a plan I had for varbinary column use.
So I quickly tried the following to look for strategies to deal with this unwanted growth...thought being that while I'm passed a varbinary(max), operating on a varbinary that matches its passed length would avoid the unwanted growth after bit masking....
declare @i int
set @i = 5
declare @v2 varbinary(@i)
...but got errors.
So I suppose I can use a combo of the len, substring etc functions to correct the situation after bit masking but would like to know if the more elegant approach of dynamically sizing a varbinary is possible in t-sql, or if perhaps there is a way to prevent the unwanted growth during bit masking.

View 2 Replies View RelatedVarchar Datatype - Newbie Question
May 20, 2008When 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?
NVARCHAR Vs VARCHAR Datatype And Performance
Aug 20, 2001We 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?
