I'm trying to decifer the data in the table that stores the data in the
binary format. All numbers are placed in varbinary fields. All I know is the
MS SQL 2000 database useing collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
(default).
For example the content of the field is:
(0xB4F5000000000000) in unicode and defined as varbinary(8).
Are there any procedures that convert the unicode binary (or hexa) numbers
back to ascii or readable form?
I tried as following but it didn't work.
select cast(0xB4F5000000000000 as decimal(8,2))
I have been given some data from a Mainframe (AS400?) which has some fields coded in Packed Decimal. I have been able to load the data into a SQL2005 database table, but I now need to convert the Packed Decimal data in the binary(6) field to the appropriate integer (or float) value.
The field contains values such as the following:-
0x20202020200C
0x202020022025
0x20202020DFFA
I don't know how to interpret these. Has anyone got a function that can do this for me?
I've read several articles online that explain how packed decimal works, but none tell me how to interpret the last of my three examples. Can you help?
Hi Everyone - iam facing a small problem i want to convert an output from the context_info() which is binary to string (or int)

I have a Data Control Task that has a OLE DB Source and corresponding OLE DB Destination Data Flow Task. In the referenced source table there exists a field defined as a varchar(12), in the corresponding destination table it is defined as a binary(12). How do I perform this conversion?
I tried inserting a Data Conversion Task and assigning the new data type as byte stream[DT_BYTES] and a Length = 12, but this was a bust. Output test is as follows:
Error: 0xC020901C at DFT - Windows, OLE_SRC - Windows [1]: There was an error with output column "Payload" (40) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (12). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
There must be a way to convert the binarydata field in the SQL trace outputto text data when the event type is a show plan. SQL Profiler does it buthow can it be done from an imported table?Danny
hello all, I am reading a file that contains textual data (formatted,e.g font=bold,font size=10 etc). After reading the file, i store the data read from the file to a table in Sql server 2005. But in the table, this data is stored like this:
daohORIGINAL TEXTm............
how can i just store the original text of the file in the table and get rid of these boxes? Or when i read this data from table, how to remove these boxes and get only the original text? Thanks in advance. I am using C# FileStream to read the file from disk. VS 2005
Hi all,how r u everyone, guys i need a help, i have a interface in my application, adding attachments to issues, ie users can attach a file for a particular issue and if anyone have to view they ve click a link and it will download.iam using filestream and binaryreader concept in that, ie read the file using filestream and then use binaryreader.readbytes method to convert it into byte array and store it in the database in a column with a image datatype as a binary content. FileStream oImg; BinaryReader oBinaryReader; byte[] oImgByteArray; oImg = new FileStream(sFilePath,FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read); oBinaryReader = new BinaryReader(oImg); oImgByteArray = oBinaryReader.ReadBytes((int)oImg.Length); oBinaryReader.Close(); oImg.Close(); this is the code iam using.when i use this its taking so much of time to get uploaded. so what i thought of doing is save the file in a specific folder using some postedfile.saveas(not sure of syntax) and when the user wants to view the file they can just download the file. i can do this by googling but what i want is wat abt the existing attachments in the database. so i need a help to do this........ is it possible to create a query to read the files and convert it into original file and save it in the specific folder or do i ve to create a simple interface to create do it manually , pls someone help me what to do ......thanks in advance.waiting for a reply soon Note: any unclear statement in my question kindly reply meWishes n RegardsVenkat.

I'm trying to insert into a table from an XML file. The mapping works OK however there is a problem with one of the fields. It is field name "Length" set up as Decimal(18,2) and it stops on the first row with an error, something like "Cannot convert to decimal". The values are all integers, such as "9", etc. but I presumed SQL would convert to "9.00" for example. It has worked for another field name "Weight", where values are stored in the XML file such as "0.28", etc. Does it reject it because it's an integer and needs to be to two decimal format in the XML?
Hello, is there a way to convert the value to just 2 decimal places, I created the report in Reporting Services and it has quite a few digits to each value. I looked at the table and found that the data type is {Float}. Is there a way to convert the values to just 2 decimal places?..Thank You.

Using SQL 2000 I have data in a sql table that is store in varchar like below
5.00 15.00 9.00
The integer part will never be bigger than 20. I need to move it to another SQL table that is char(5). I need the results that go in that table to like like below
05.00 15.00 09.00 I looked at the replace and cast but couldn't get the results. Any better approaches? Thanks
Hello I'm trying to write a SQL Statement along the lines of....
SELECT stringField + ' : ' + STR(decimalField) AS myField FROM tablename WHERE myCondition = myValue
Where stringField is a String field and decimalField is a Decimal Field in my Table. In this statement it converts the decimal field to a string value so that it doesn't throw a conversion error but unfortunatly it seems to round up the value to an integer value and cuts off all my decimal places.
I have a field in my database that is stored as varchar. The values are usually contain a decimal, and should have really been a float or decimal. In order for me to do analytics in my BI environment, I need to convert this to a float or decimal.
eg of values.
10.00 20.00 0.00 15.00
or could be missing when I use cast(value as float) or cast(value as decimal(9,2)) or convert(float, value) I get an error
problem is that the data I am trying to insert is of the type nvarchar. eg: 06.50 I need it to be converted to type decimal (or float) before it is inserted in the new table.
Is there a way to do this within the SELECT TOP expression?

I'm trying to move records from a SQL table with a float column to a DB2 database that has the column defined as Decimal (8,2) It keeps crashing saying it has a type mismatch problem. I tried changing my source command to pass in the column already converted and it still crashes on this. I also tried doing a data conversion task to do the conversion and I still get the same error. Any ideas?
Which one is good method to convert a following division into 2 decimal digits.
q1)

select cast(( sum(population) * cast( 100 as decimal)) / sum(totalpopulation) as decimal(7,2) from table1 group by state

q6)

Filtrate the value in the column by using filter function..I get error message due to decimal and double.How should I convert to value 55 into double or decimal? Today, I'm using SSRS 2012.
