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:
Hey im trying to store a category name and the date into a database. For some reason i keep getting this error Implicit conversion from data type datetime to int is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. This error is the error im getting back from the database. the datetime field in the database is a datatype (DateTime) so what exactly is going on ?protected void InsertNewCat_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string insertSql = "INSERT into Category (CategoryName,Date) VALUES (@Category, @Date)"; string conString = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ProCo"].ConnectionString; SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(insertSql, con); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Category", NewCat.Text); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Date",DateTime.Now);
Hello Guys,Have been getting this error( Implicit conversion from data type ntext to varchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. ) when running on the live environment but it was fine when run locally. If anyone has similar problem please let me know the fix you have done. Thank you.

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?

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:
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);
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*
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.
I am facing a problem while using SQL Server with VB application.Implicit conversion from datatype text to nvarchar is not allowed.Use the convert function to run this query.When i see the trace file, i see one stored procedure called but nolines of code get executed, and immediately after that the ROLLBACKTRANSACTION occurs and the applications fails.But to my surprise i am able to do the same thing on a differentmachine using the same application and the same database on the sameserver with the same user id.Can anyone explain the reason of occurance of this problem.I require this very urgently, so i will be oblized if anyone can comeup with a quick response.Kind Regards,Amit Kumar

When I run the following query from Query Analyzer in SQL Serer 2005, I get a message back that says. Command(s) completed successfully.

THis is so annoying. I have 3 ADO executes in my program. THe first one creates a view, the second one performs an outer join on that view and returns a result set, the third execute drops the aforementioned view. THe program that is using this is installed on about 200 computers scattered across Germany and Italy, all querying the same MSsql server 7.0. THe queries run quite quick when few users are actively using the program (after hours for example). however in the heat of the day performance goes up and down dramatically with identical queries taking from 1 to 20 seconds to return their result set. Now I initially thought 'bandwidth issue out of our server'. However I noticed that if I take those three queries and run them from the sql server enterprise manager( running on the same computer as the aforementioned program) then the queries run instantly and the data is in my result pane in less than 2 seconds ALWAYS....even when the program is dogging it with 20 second delays before the result set returns. I know it is hanging on the return of the result set as I put a stop after before each ADO execute in order to check which one was eating up my time. Why is there this dichotomy between running the queries from my enterprise manager versus running them from an ADO object. Both are using TCP/IP (no named pipes involved). I havent monkied with the attributes of the ADO result set so they are all set to default. I have used the sql server profiler to trace these queries and they always run in less than 33 milliseconds. THe duration is also never more than 33 milliseconds. THis stinks of a network resource issue but what always leads me somewhere else is how consistent the performance of the enterprise manager is when it runs the exact same three queries.
Here is my slightly edited connection string Public Const connection_string = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=000.000.000.000;" & _ "User ID=johndoe;Password=janedoe;Network=dbmssocn;" & _ "database=fidojoe"
Here are the 3 ADO executes: conn.Execute (sqlstr_create_view) Set resultset1 = conn.Execute(sqlstr_get_providers_by_DMISID) conn.Execute (sqlstr_drop_view)
When I run query in excel it gives result with different column sequence. The same query gives result with different column sequence when used in query analyzer or VBA Macro. E.g., Select * from ABC.
I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.
I am trying to determine which of three stored procedure designs arefastest in the Query Analyzer:One query is a straight SELECT query with all desired rows and a dozen(tblName.RowName = @param or @param = Null) filters in the WHEREstatement.One query populates a #Temp table with the UniqueIDs from the resultsof the SELECT query in the above example, then joins that #Temp tableto get the desired rows.One query users EXEC sp_executesql @sql, @paramlist, @paramin which the @param has the dozen filters.What I'm trying to determine is which is the fastest.Each time I run the query in Query Analyzer it returns the samerecordset (duh!) but with much different Time Statistics.Are the Time Statisticts THE HOLY QRAIL as far as determining which isfastest, and what so I want to look at, the Vale or the Average? Inotice there are different numbers of bytse sen and bytes received foreach of the three queries.Any illumination on this is appreciated.lq
Is Query Analyzer being droped in MS-SQL 2005? I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Managemant Studio and I couldn't find the Store Procedure node and Query Analyzer anymore. Help is appreciated.
Say you have a state column with the name of a state in it. And you need to add a branchId to the table. I know I should not have it in there, and the application should use proper lookup tables, but that's not the case. Can SQL Server query analyzer loop through and update the branchid field based on a lookup in a lookup table? How would that be done?
Hi All, I think I post this in a wrong section but I cant find forum for sql server and i just have a quick question basically, I installed sql server 2005 and I need to debug a store procedure.1. Does query analyzer come with sql server 2005?2. If not how can I debug store procedure in sql server 2005?Thanks in advance
Does anyone know if there is a limitation in Query Analyzer in terms of the number of characters in a query that it will parse?
I am having a problem with some large queries, and I am not sure if it is Query Analyzer, or the SQL Server query parsing engine that is causing the problem.
The query just involves a simple SELECT statement, albeit for a large number of columns.
I'm using SQL Server 7.0. I connect to one database in Query Analyzer and I can use the "Perform Index Analysis" option under the "Query" menu option. when I connect to one of our other databases, the "Perform Index Analysis" option under the "Query" menu option is disabled (greyed out). Does anyone know what the problem could be and how might I be able to enable this option.
Hello In query Analyzer of SQL2000 when i select 2 Select Queries and Run it shows in same Window as 2 Grids I have seen people using seperate grid option to view each query results in a Tab query results Pane in MSSQL 7.
Eg Select * from table1 (in one grid) select * from table2 (in another grid) like a TAB so that i can move from one tab to another.
Is it possible to do that in query Analyzer? Regards
I would like to use the Query Analyzer to create a script that will prompt the user(dialog box) for a response in SQL Server 7.0. I found a post someone mentioned DBMS can return messages and using Query Analyzer.
I'm trying to do a couple of things with some different tables.
With the first table, I have first name and last name in two separate columns.
I'm trying to create a new ID column that would do the following.
Take the first 3 letters of the last name (and remove any non characters such as ',&) and the first 3 letters of the first name, and then combine them.
I know how to use substring to take the first three, and I know how to combine them, but I'm having problems removing the non alpha characters.
For example, if the columns looked as follows: First Last John O'Connor
I'd want the result to look like OCOJOH, however, I'm getting O'CJOH.
The second issue is how would I do something similar if the First and Last Name were in the same column and string.
For example, if the column looks as follows:
Name John O'Connor Publishing
I'd like to pull the first 3 from the first string before the space and then the next 3 so it would be as follows:
JOHOCO
Finally, I want to compare these new IDs, and add numbers to them.
So if I had the following First Last John O'Connor Johnny O'Connell
The first would be OCOJOH01 The second would be OCOJOH02
If there are not any duplicates with the new ID, I'd like to call it OCOJOH01 and then move on.
I would like to change the format of dates that is in colum using query analyzer. The name of the colum is StartD and this how they look: 3292006 I would like to insert the / / . Can someone show me how to accomplish it.
I have a database with couple of store procedure and views. Is there any way that i can find out all sp or views which contains word like *svc*. I am talking about the containt of the sp and views not name.
We are replacing one module so i have to change the all sp and views which use table or view start with svc.
in the market place that will run a query on multiple DBs acrossmultiple servers? Without having to manually connect to each server?If so, can anyone provide a link for it.Thanks
I am new to SQL and need help running a performance check on our companies dtabase. I use SQL Enterprise Manager 2000. Could someone please help me accomplish this?
