I have a column setup using the Int datatype and a length of 4. First: does this mean that the allowable range is from -9999 to 9999? Second: I can't seem to change the 4 to anything else, how can I modify the length :confused:
View 2 RepliesHi all,
I have a situation where I will have to insert a value(whole number) into the table where the the value is more than what the Integer can hold , I was wondering is there any other datatype which i can use other than integer
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone....
I need a column in my table that its DataType should be as integer arrays how can I implemant it in my sqlserver table.
Any help appreciated.
I'm getting a datatype error: "Application uses a value of the wrong type for the current operation" when executing the following stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Insert_Temp_ContactInfo

This is code I'm using to call the procedure:

.Execute()
End With
Set InsertTempInfo = Nothing
the error is thrown on the following line:
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@State", 3, 1,4,state)
I'm using a table to hold data that I can pass back to the original form page and re-populate the fields that were not validated correctly. The stored procedure either inserts or updates the record in the temp table I've created.
So, currently, as I'm testing, I'm just passing empty values to all the parameters and the @state parameter is failing and throwing the error.
I've double checked that the table has the state column set to integer datatype
The column is set as follows:
Name datatype length Allow Nulls
----------------------------------------------
State int 4 checked
I have tried setting the default value for every column to Null in the table and then also not using a default value. Either way, I still recieve the same error?
Not sure what else to look at?
It seems the problem might be that instead of a null value being passed to the parameter that it is actually empty. Can passing an empty value to a column of datatype integer cause this problem? If so, is there a way to correct it?
Thanks for any 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.
Need to know if the varchar datatype field will ingore leading zeros when compared with numeric datatype ?

Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B

I have a field in a table that stores date of birth. The field's datatype is char(6) and looks like this: 091703 (mmddyy). I want to convert this value to a datetime datatype.
What is the syntax to convert char(6) to datetime?
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I imported a table from Accees to SQL 7 with data in it.
I need to modify one of the datatype columns to "datetime" from nvarchar.
I tried to convert it manually, in SQL Server Enterprise Manager tool, but it gave me an error.
I also tried, creating another column "DATE2-datatype:datetime" and updating the column with the old one.
UPDATE users SET DATE2 = DATE.. But it also faild,..
How can I modify the column?
Thank you.
HI,I have a table with IDENTITY column with the datatype as INTEGER. Nowthis table record count is almost reaching its limt. that is totalrecord count is almost near to 2^31-1. It will reach the limit with inanother one or two months.In order to avoid the arithmentic overflow error 8115, we would likechange the datatype from INT to BIGINT. we hope this will solve ourproblem.How do I approch this datatype conversion?. Since the data count ishuge, that leads to a long down time of database.we need better approach or solution for this problem?. kindly give mea better solution that will reduce the total downtime of the productiondatabase.?.Regards

Hi All,
If I run "SELECT 610/100", query analyser returns 6! (wrong)
If I run "SELECT 610.0/100", query analyser returns 6.100000! (correct)
I know I can get the correct result by running "SELECT Cast(610.0 as Float)/100", but why doesn't the first example return 6.1?
Is there some setting on my server which says Integer / Integer = Integer ?

My question is, i guess, a simple one:
When is it more convenient to use a uniqueid Data Type instead of a smallint, tinyint, bigint, etc (any type of int) when the field is gonna be the primary key for the table?
hi all,
i have an autonumber field (primary key) and another integer field as part of a table. What i want to do is when a record is created, the default value of the integer field should be the_autonumber+1000 for eg record with pk 82 will have an integer field that's automatically 1082. Would it be possible to do this ? Thanks in advance.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my database I have a table called "users" with a varchar-field that holds categori-id's commaseparated, collected from my other table "category". I do this to control access for my users, some users are only allowed access to some categories. I would like to run a statement sort of like this:select categoryname
from category
where catid in (select categories from user where userid = 12)Naturally, because catid and the field categories have different datatypes I get the error "Syntax error converting the varchar value '340, 344, 356' to a column of data type int."
Is there any way I can bypass this keeping the commaseparated values and without making a new normalized table instead?

I am trying to select only values within a column are intergers.
My statement looks like this:
(I am using MSSQL querying into a Pervasive DB via a Linked Server)
SELECT Invoice, Invoice_Date, Description, INVOICE_Code_1
FROM API_PENDING__INVOICE
WHERE (API_PENDING__INVOICE.INVOICE_CODE_1) is integer???
Obviously, this is not working...
Can I put a constraint on an integer column that will only allow a certain range of numbers to be entered, or do I have to put that into the application layer only?
I'd like the range to be 0 to 30 as the only allowable values. The only thing that I could think of was to create another table and populate with 0,1,2...,30 and put a foreign key on the new column that wouldn't allow anything not in that list but I was wondering if there was a better way.

Hi
I use this to get all users from active directory.
SELECT *
FROM openquery(
adsi
,'SELECT name, AccountExpires FROM
''LDAP://company/OU=users,dc=company,dc=com''')
WHERE AccountExpires IS NOT NULL AND AccountExpires not in('0','0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF','9223372036854775807','')
AccountExpires returns values like 128514708000000000 (This value represents the number of 100 nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601 )
How do I convert this value to Datetime?
select getdate() returns a value like 2008-04-18 10:00:00.00 and that's how I'd like my AccountExpires

buffer.SetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex, Convert.ToDecimal(a));
}
Please let me know how to set a decimal value in the buffer.
I was just told that it is better to convert all datetime values to integers for performance reasons. Is this generally true? I am working with time series data so datetime values hold important information.
