How To Convert A Hex String To An Integer?
Feb 1, 2000
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.
Thanks,
Lars Huttar

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
=CStr(CInt(Parameters!CrashStatisticalYear.Value)-1)
Question is, where do i put this...and how come when i put it in the parameters expression for the 2nd matrix, i get an error datatype messege? HELP !

Working on a new database where the Date and Time are stored in a Date Time Field.
Then working on an OLDER database file within the same SQL Database contains these 2 items as integers:
transDate = "71615" (July 16, 2015)
transTime = "12345" (01:23:45 AM)
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.

I have a string variable
string str1="1,2,3,4,5";
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 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 Integerconnection.Open()Dim reader As SqlDataReaderreader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)Dim p3 As New SqlParameter("@TransactionID", SqlDbType.Int)p3.Direction = ParameterDirection.OutputtransactionID = 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?

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?

I have this datetime:Â '2002-12-20 11:59:59'
I want to convert this to date (yyyy-mm-dd) to integer
This works fine for:Â SELECT CONVERT(INT, GETDATE())
But it doesn't work here:Â SELECT CONVERT(INT, '2002-12-20 11:59:59')
I want to convert date to integer without passing through any varchar conversion/result.

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.
Thanks

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 need to convert a column of data from alpha numeric to integer.
I am only querying the tables i.e. i don't have access to actually change the data tables themselves.
CAST or CONVERT throws up an error. Are there any other commands i can use at the query stage?
The data I need to convert is always actually a number. i.e. even though it is recognised as alpha numeric, the figure is a number.
I just need it to be converted to an integer so i can SUM it etc.

Hi,
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 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

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

We have account numbers that are string values, looking like: "01.02.02.00.0040.000.000".
We need to parse individual segments and pull out a range of values treating the segment like an integer. For example we would like all accounts that have the fifth segment ranging in values from .0040. through .0060. inclusive.
We've been trying to do something with the like clause: LIKE '__.__.__.__.[0-0][0-0][4-6][0-0]'.
We want 40 through 60 but we're getting 40, 50, and 60. If we change the last bracket to [0-9] we get 40 through 69.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to either fix our like clause or another approach?
Thanks.

I am taking a five-digit zipcode from a database where it is stored as an int, and I would like to store it as a char(5).
I set my OLE DB source to pull from a proc as:
Code Snippet
SELECT
cust.CustomerID as CustomerID,
case
when cust.Zip > 99999 then Null
when cust.Zip < 0 then Null
else REPLICATE('0',5 - LEN(cast(cust.Zip as varchar(5))))
+ cast(cust.Zip as varchar(5))
end as CustomerZip
However, when I do that, SSIS sees the external column as a string of length 8000, and insists on giving me a truncation warning on validation.
I also tried bringing the Zip field in as an int and doing a data conversion in the SSIS data stream. This worked great until I added a Derived Column transform to do the REPLICATE function as above to add leading zeros to the zip code. Once I did that, SSIS decided that there was a chance of truncation again and started with the truncation warnings.
My derived column is:
Code Snippet
REPLICATE("0",5 - LEN(TRIM([CustomerZip]))) + TRIM([CustomerZip])
BTW - I don't think the TRIM() function is really necessary in the above, but I tried it out of desperation and it made no difference.
This is really starting to drive me nuts. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to convert an integer zipcode to a char(5) string with leading zeros without incurring these validation warnings?
TIA
- Steve

I am attempting to convert an integer value to a string using the Derived Column transformation with the following expression on the field:
(DT_STR,10,1252)prod_id
prod_id is an integer. I was able to do this before however, in the past couple of days, this has failed with the following error:
"An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast."
To my knowledge, I have not changed anything about this particular data flow within the past couple of days. I have verified that the value is coming in as an integer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a User Defined Function in my SQL Server 2000 database which takes a string and adds an integer quantity to it. The function basically takes the string (string because of first character and spaces) and adds an integer to it creating a new number (starting number and ending number concept).If I pass in a string that has a letter for the first character, it works fine. However, if the first character is an integer it trims out all 0s and whitespace and ruins the necessary formatting. Note, the formatting is always the same - x xxx xxxx xx. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.Example:D 499 8900 01 plus a Quantity of 10 returns D 499 89000 11 which is perfect.However,0 076 0000 03 plus a Quantity of 1 returns 764 764 (it should be 0 076 0000 04)------------------------------------CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[NEW_End_NR2]( @OldStr as char(20), @Quantity int )RETURNS @NewNR_Tbl TABLE (New_EndNr char(20) primary key)AS BEGIN DECLARE @NewStr char(20) DECLARE @addNr integerBEGIN Set @addNr = @Quantity set @NewStr = (select REPLACE(@OldStr,left(@OldStr, 1),'')) set @NewStr = (select REPLACE(@NewStr,' ', '')) + @addNr set @NewStr = (SELECT left(@OldStr, 1) + SPACE(1) + left(@NewStr,3) + SPACE(1) + left(REPLACE(@NewStr, left(@NewStr,3), ''), 4) + SPACE(1) + left(REPLACE(@NewStr, left(@NewStr,7), ''), 3)) BEGIN INSERT INTO @NewNR_Tbl (New_EndNr) VALUES(@NewStr) END END RETURNEND
