Implicit Conversion Error - Adding Different Varchars Together
Aug 27, 2005
Hi I get the following error:
Implicit conversion of varchar value to varchar cannot be done
because the collation of the value is unresoved due to a collation
conflict
SELECT
Accounts_Users.NameFirst + ' '
+ Accounts_Users.NameLast + ' (' + Accounts_Users.BusinessUnit + ')' AS
NameFull, -- Error here
-- Accounts_Users.NameFirst + ' ' + Accounts_Users.NameLast AS NameFull, -- This line works
Accounts_Users.EmailAddress, Accounts_Users.BusinessUnit
FROM Accounts_Users.Accounts_Users
NameFirst and NameLast are VarChar(30) and BusinessUnit VarChar(50), I
did try converting it to 30 also but still got the same error
The sp works on my dev sql server but not on the live one, I am using Management Console v2 (dev) and 1.2 (live server)
Thanks
Steve

Good Afternoon
Hope that somone can shed some light...
I am using the HitSoftware driver to pass data to an AS400 from a SQL 7 database. Data makes it fine to 2 of the 4 tables but I cannot get the syntax correct to even get out of the S/P edtitor in SQL for the other 2.
I have fields in the SQL S/P defined as VARCHAR. The target fields on the AS400 are ALPHA. So I figured the insert statement to look like:
INSERT INTO CALICOTOTESTAS400.S105Z1NM.ORDTALIB.itmrva0# (TRID30, ITNO30, ITDS30, ITYP30, INVF30, UMST30, ITAC30, UUCA30, EGNO30, RTID30)
VALUES (@v_action, @v_modelNumber, @v_modelDesc, '1', 1, 'EA', @v_acctClass, @v_modelyear, @v_engRevision, @v_spectype)
However, when I try to close the S/P window I get the error:
Error 257: Implicit conversion from data type varchar to binary is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
So, I changed the insert statement to this:
INSERT INTO CALICOTOTESTAS400.S105Z1NM.ORDTALIB.itmrva0# (TRID30, ITNO30, ITDS30, ITYP30, INVF30, UMST30, ITAC30, UUCA30, EGNO30, RTID30)
VALUES (CONVERT(binary, @v_action), CONVERT(binary, @v_modelNumber), CONVERT(binary, @v_modelDesc), CONVERT(binary, '1'), 1, CONVERT(binary, 'EA'), CONVERT(binary, @v_acctClass), CONVERT(binary, @v_modelyear), CONVERT(binary, @v_engRevision), CONVERT(binary,
@v_spectype))
Now the S/P closes without the error. But when I send it to the AS400 I get unrecognizable characters in the fields.
Then I started thinking...I am not trying to do anything with binary fields.
So I am really lost. Please help.
Thanks,

I am trying to construct a query in Query Analyzer (with SQL Server 2000), but am getting an error regarding "implicit conversion."
Here is the query:
SELECT dbo.AUCTION.EbayNum, dbo.AUCTION.EndDate,
DATENAME([month], dbo.AUCTION.EndDate) + ' ' + DATENAME([year], dbo.AUCTION.EndDate) AS [PmtMonth],
dbo.LOT.Description, dbo.AUCTION.WinBid,
PaidStat = CASE dbo.AUCTION.PaidStatus
WHEN 0 THEN ''
ELSE 'PAID'
END,
PaidAmt = CASE dbo.AUCTION.PaidStatus
WHEN 0 THEN ''
ELSE dbo.AUCTION.WinBid
END
FROM dbo.AUCTION INNER JOIN
dbo.LOT ON dbo.AUCTION.LotNum = dbo.LOT.LotNum
WHERE (LEN(dbo.AUCTION.Winner) > 0)
The error occurs in the PaidAmt CASE statment:
"Implicit conversion from data type varchar to money is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query."
Why is there an implicit conversion going on? And how can I fix it? :mad:

Dear all,
Hi, I'm using this code to export record from sql to excel and i got this error message "Implicit conversion from data type text to nvarchar is not allowed. use the convert function to run this query"

I have a sql statement that must run in both sql server and oracle. I can't change the sql statement as it is created as part of a core application from Rational Rose.
Basically the problem is that I have a table with a column defined as a decimal type in sql server (numeric in oracle).
The select statement, however, treats the column as a char. I can reproduce the problem with this simple code:
create table atest2 (a decimal(9,0))
insert into atest2 values (1)
insert into atest2 values (2)
insert into atest2 values (null)
insert into atest2 values (4)
select * from atest2 where a = ' '
This gives the error:
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
The documents seem to indicate the sql server will implicitly convert decimals to varchar but this doesn't seem to be happening. Is there an environment setting that might control this?
Thanks,
Rut

Here is the situation...
I am using SQL Server 2000. I have created a Store Procedure to
insert information, 4 of the fields are date types. I am using
OleDb Data Provider (System.Data.OleDb) namespace.
The dates are filled by a form (web form) on submit event, I created a
class that has functions to create my OleDb Parameters. I add the
parameters to the command and execute it through a SQL Server Stored
Procedure. In the event that I must have coded something wrong, I
tested in the SQL Query Analyzer and the IN parameters for the date I
used the getDate() method. This is where I know it is OleDb and
SQL Server Parameters.
What Converstion Format should I use in the SP for the date?
OleDb.date are doubles from some date in 1979 or something or
another. So I used an OleDbDataType.DBDate. It seems that
when the Stored Procedure uses the IN Parameters dates provided by
OleDbDataType.Date or DBDate, that it doesn't like the int
format. I am guessing that I am not converting the date in the
parameters in the Insert of the Store Procedure... this is basically
what I have...
Function to add parameters and execute SP
private int _startdate = DateTime.Now;
private int _finishdate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);
OleDbParameter[] myParams = {
ParamBuilder("@StarDate", OleDbType.DBDate, 8, _startdate),
ParamBuilder("@FinishDate", OleDbType.DBDate, 8, _finishdate)
};
ExecuteNonQuery("myInsert", myParams);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CREATE PROCEDURE myInsert
@StartDate datetime, @FinishDate datetime AS
INSERT INTO myTable (STARTDATE, FINISHDATE)
VALUES (Convert(datetime, @StartDate), Convert(datetime, @FinishDate))
Please keep in mind that I am using System.Data.OleDb
namespace..... please don't tell me to use SQLClient, it seems
since I've been so adaptive of using OleDb, that it sould work just as
well. I am way too far into this to change my Provider to SQL
Client, but I promise myself that the next project (if using SQL
Server, I will be using SQLClient and I will keep using OleDb for
Oracle.) *sigh*
Help!

In a stored procedure, the following code is causing a huge read and CPU load when it really shouldn't. The @IDParameter below is coming in as a parameter to the proc.
Here's the snippet of code where the problem is coming in:
DECLARE @ID INT;
SET @ID = (SELECT ID From OtherTable WHERE FKID = @IDParameter);
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM LargeTable
WHERE MostlyZeroID = @ID AND MostlyZeroID > 0Most (90+%) of the MostlyZeroID rows are 0 (hence the name) but regardless of distribution this should evaluate with minimal work on SQL Server's part to 0. However, when this was run, it is using a ton of CPU and doing a ton of Reads as it seeks through the entire index. When I look at the execution plan, I see under the seek predicate a Scalar Operator(CONVERT_IMPLICIT(int,[@1],0)) which is what is destroying the performance.
I've confirmed that the MostlyZeroID column in the LargeTable is defined as an INT NOT NULL. I also tested the scenario outside the stored procedure without any variables as the following to make sure it wasn't some kind of strange parameter sniffing scenario:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM LargeTable
WHERE MostlyZeroID = 0 AND MostlyZeroID > 0
However, this query also did the implicit conversion. I then tried this out on a temp table populated with a similar number of records (100 million) with a similar distribution and I didn't get the implicit conversion (I got a constant scan as I would've expected) when I did this:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM #TestTable
WHERE MostlyZero = 0 AND MostlyZero > 0
I also tried the same on several other tables that are set up similarly (large amount of zeros in an INT column) and I always got a constant scan and didn't do an implicit conversion.
why the query engine is interpreting this 0 as something other than an INT and doing an implicit conversion when getting the count in the scenario above? What can be done to protect against it? In the above scenario, an IF @ID > 0 statement was placed before the code including the count since there was no reason to even run the code if the @ID was equal to zero.

Hi all,
I am a little weak at SQL, so bear with me.
Can anyone give me an SP which uses "Between" to Display all Dates
BETWEEN a fromDate and toDate???
Two conditions
1.Both Dates are stored as varchar.
2. I should be able to get the dates even if years are different, say between 20th December 2006 and 3rd January 2007
3.Is there a way to extract the yearDiff?

with varchars having a max of 8000 bytes and partly because of the coder before me, I'm stuck with using text. the text has a maximum of 30,000 characters, i've tried everything to try to separate the text into 4 different varchars to no avail.. none of the string functions (left, substring, right) works on a text field, and when i try to convert it to a varchar (i.e. convert(varchar(8000), @text)) it obviously only takes the first 8000 characters...
what can i do in this case? any help would be appreciated! thanks in advance!

A common request for enhancement to applications is to "make thisfield bigger". I know I've been caught with increasing a field size,and then spending hours debugging because another stored proc has avariable or temp table that uses the field defined as the originalvarchar size. SQL Server just truncates to fit the data into thesmaller varchar, and so there are no errors raised.An option suggested by a colleague is to no longer use varchars, butuse User Defined Types instead. To make this work effectively,though, they suggest we would need to make it a rule that we do notuse varchars anywhere except to define user defined types.Though there will be one point of changes I can't help thinking thisisn't a very good idea ! Any thoughts ?Thanks.

We have an application that uses ASP pages to get data from a SQL 7.0 database. One of the stored procedures that is called brings back a comment field that is a varchar(2000). For some reason, when this SP is called from the ASP page, the field is truncated at 255 characters. If the SP is run in the Query Analyzer, all 2000 characters are brought back (after we reset the default length in QA).
Is there any way for the ASP page to bring back more than 255 characters?

i have a weird situation here, i tried to load a unicode file with a flat file source component, one of file lines has data like any other line but also contains the character "ÿ" which i can't see or find it and replace it with empty string, the source component parses the line correctly but if there is a data type error in this line, the error output for that line gives me this character "ÿ" instead of the original line.
simply, the error output of flat file source component fail to get the original line when the line contains hidden "ÿ".
i hope you can help me with issue.
Thanks in advance.

I have a report that has 3 nested lists. The report looks fine when I view it in the browser but when I print it or export it to another format it appears that keep together is on for each list because some pages are only partially filled. I do not have keep together turned on for any report control, and I don't have page break turned on for anything. This problem results in the report being many more pages than it needs to be. Can anyone help?

Hi,
I have noticed that implicit casts are allowed according to the actual data in a column.
Here is an example:
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyColumn = 3897
MyColumn is defined as nvarchar(15) not null in the database schema.
This query will work only if there are no record in MyTable for which MyColumn has an alphanumerical value. Otherwise it will raise an error:
Serveur : Msg 245, Niveau 16, État 1, Ligne 1
Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'C061' to a column of data type int.
Of course, the following query is always successful:
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyColumn = '3897'
Am I correct?
Thanks a lot.

performance wise what is the difference between following queries
Select * from A, B Where A.ID = B.ID
Select * from A INNER JOIN B ON A.ID = B.ID
(ID is the primary key)

Hi Everyone-
i have a report that include parameters that the user set and press the button ViewReport for rendering the report
until that everything ok,.. .......but assume that there is an updating occurred on data after the user make the first press on the button ViewReport.
The problem is if the user press the button ViewReport again for the second time without changing the parameter value the report result will be the same even though it is the old data that appear in the 1st press button.
can anyone tell me how to handle this problem to make it refresh when the ViewReport button is pressed
or if there is no solution can anyone provide me with a link that talks about that problem for more details
thanx
Maylo

Is there a way do disable/disallow implicit casting in Sql Server 2000?
Say for example:
if ' ' = 0 select getdate()
This wil print out the current date and time.
But ' ' (a string, varchar, whatever) is not the same type as 0 (say, int). Implicit casting is nice, but is there also an off switch?

Hi all,
I am running into a problem which seems to indicate SQL Server 2005 is pretty aggressive with its implicit conversion which makes UNPIVOT apparently unusable for my current task of creating attribute/value pairs of strings for each of the records unpivoted around the primary key.
WITH cte as
(
SELECT 1 as Code, '2' as Status, 'Some Guy' as CreatedBy, Convert(varchar(19), getdate(), 120) as CreatedDate
)
SELECT
[Code]
,[Attribute]
,[Value]
FROM
cte
UNPIVOT([Attribute] FOR [Value] IN ([Status],[CreatedBy],[CreatedDate])) as U;
Msg 8167, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The type of column "CreatedBy" conflicts with the type of other columns specified in the UNPIVOT list.
The same result shows up if I use an inner SELECT instead of the CTE:
SELECT
[Code]
,[Attribute]
,[Value]
FROM
(
SELECT 1 as Code, '2' as Status, 'Some Guy' as CreatedBy, Convert(varchar(19), getdate(), 120) as CreatedDate
) cte
UNPIVOT([Attribute] FOR [Value] IN ([Status],[CreatedBy],[CreatedDate])) as U;
It seems to me that some arbitrary decision about what column is processed first is made and the process fails as soon as a column is met which is not of the same datatype. I also think it is interesting that the engine will implicitly cast from varchar to DateTime but not the other way around.
Any thoughts on how I can get around this?
Thanks in advance,
Calvin

Hi,I keep getting the error:System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '@qty' to data type int. When I initiate the insert and update.I tried adding a: Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text), but it didn't work.. I also tried fiddling with the update code, but I think it is to do with the insert bool as the update works at the moment.. Could someone help?My code:private bool ExecuteUpdate(int quantity){ SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection();
con.ConnectionString = "Data
Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated
Security=True;User Instance=True"; con.Open(); SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(); command.Connection = con; TextBox TextBox1 = (TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox1"); Label labname = (Label)FormView1.FindControl("Label3"); Label labid = (Label)FormView1.FindControl("Label13"); command.CommandText = "UPDATE Items SET Quantityavailable = Quantityavailable - '@qty' WHERE productID=@productID"; command.Parameters.Add("@qty", TextBox1.Text); command.Parameters.Add("@productID", labid.Text); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); con.Close(); return true;} private bool ExecuteInsert(String quantity) { SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection();
con.ConnectionString = "Data
Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated
Security=True;User Instance=True"; con.Open(); SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(); command.Connection = con; TextBox TextBox1 = (TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("TextBox1"); Label labname = (Label)FormView1.FindControl("Label3"); Label labid = (Label)FormView1.FindControl("Label13");
command.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Transactions
(Usersname,Itemid,itemname,Date,Qty) VALUES
(@User,@productID,@Itemsname,@date,@qty)"; command.Parameters.Add("@User", System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name); command.Parameters.Add("@Itemsname", labname.Text); command.Parameters.Add("@productID", labid.Text); command.Parameters.Add("@qty", Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text)); command.Parameters.Add("@date", DateTime.Now.ToString()); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); con.Close(); return true; }protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){ TextBox TextBox1 = FormView1.FindControl("TextBox1") as TextBox; ExecuteUpdate(Int32.Parse(TextBox1.Text) );}protected void Button2_Command(object sender, CommandEventArgs e) { if (e.CommandName == "Update") { TextBox TextBox1 = FormView1.FindControl("TextBox1") as TextBox; ExecuteInsert(TextBox1.Text); } } Thanks so much if someone can!Jon

Please help.I have an aspx page with a drop down list(ddlCategories), and a datalist(dlLinks). The drop down lists data property is a uniqueidentifier from a table.When an item in the list is selected it fires the following:SqlLinks.SelectParameters("CategoryID").DefaultValue = ddlCategories.SelectedValuedlLinks.DataBind()The sqldatasource for the datalist runs a stored procedure (below)sp_GetLinks (@CategoryID ?) ASselect * from links where category = @categoryMy question is, what should @Category be declared as if the category column in the table is a uniqueidentifier? And what conversion do I need to do I just can't work it out, as I keep getting the following error:Implicit conversion from data type sql_variant to uniqueidentifier is not
allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. Description:

This is the error message I get: :(
Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
This is the query:

dbo.PremiumRate(Qual_Ins.Crit,Qual_Ins.PQB_Spec,Pl an_Mas.Extend_Fee,

AND Plan_Mas.CompanyCode = Qual_ins.CompanyCode

AND Plan_Mas.Plan_Code = Qual_ins.Plan_Code
Order BY Qual_ins.Ins_Code
Please let me know if you need to see my PremiumRate (User Defined Function) in order to help me elimate this error message.
Any help is appreciate!
I'm new to this.... "Hello" to all!

I have a dts package that imports data from a comma delimited .csv file.
I'm getting a conversion invalid for datatypes on column pair 1 (source 'col0012' (DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'latitude' (DBTYPE_R8)).
So, the source file is populated as a string for 'col002' and I have that field specified as a float within my table. Float is the correct type for the value.
How can I make the conversion correctly during the dts execution.
Thank you.
