Hi there!
I am building an application that counnts clicks on an ad. I use the integer field to count them but someone told me there is a limit number this field can count - is that correct? if so, is there a solution for my problem?
Thanks and happy 2007!

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.
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.

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.

I had a field called camp is integer data type. I just found it had a default value, but the value is " (0) ", not just " 0 ". It should be 0, right? why it use (0), are they same? thanks.

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.

Trying to write the most effective UDF to convert INT to Datetime.
We have a column from a table on AS400 that is a INT type. Some are 4, 5, 6 ,7 digits. I have the 4 digits right. I need to fix it for 5 and 6 digits.
ALTER FUNCTION IntegerToDatetime (@int INT)
RETURNS DATETIME
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @IntegerToDatetime int
DECLARE @time DATETIME
SET @time = '2001-01-01'
SET @IntegerToDatetime =
CASE
WHEN LEN(@int) = 7
THEN '20' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(7)),2,2) AS int)
+ '-' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(7)),4,2) AS int)
+ '-' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(7)),6,2) AS int)
WHEN LEN(@int) = 6
THEN '19' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(6)),1,2) AS int)
+ '-' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(6)),3,2) AS int)
+ '-' + CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(@int AS CHAR(6)),5,2) AS int)

How do I format an integer. Add commas.1234565 1,234,565TIA
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I wanted to hear from you - if you've used any unique integer generation technique in the context of a disconnected smart client/local data store and have been successful with it.
Any ideas/suggestions will be great.

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
I am trying to set a decimal value to the pipelinecolumn buffer, but it doesnt get set, and the value is NULL.
Here is the portion of the code of what I am trying to do:
if (columnInfos[x].colName.EndsWith("_CRC"))
{
int a;
a_cmp tst = new a_cmp();
a= tst.a_crc32(inputbufferstream); this function returns a integer value
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.

Hi All
I'm getting an error that says that this can't be converted to an integer.
Here is the line that gets the error. dt = ((DataView)(EventDataSource1.Select(dssa))).ToTable()
I have also tried. dt = (DataView)(EventDataSource1.Select(dssa);
I am programming in VB
here is teh rest of my code.

I have this block of code that is supposed to go out to a SQL2k5 Express DB, get the number value from a record based on a request.querystring containing the table ID number.I get the request.querystring and store it in a variable. By nature this is stored as a String data type.Then I try to convert the string into an integer using both the "Convert.ToInt32(IDNum)" and the "Int32.TryParse(Request.QueryString("ID"), IDNum)" methods.The IDNum variable is to be used to inject into a stored proc as shown below. conn = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("database_connection").ConnectionString)conn.Open()cmd = New SqlCommand("GetMyNumber", conn)cmd.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedurecmd.Parameters.Add("@MyNumber", Data.SqlDbType.Int).Value = IDNumSession("EndResult") = cmd.ExecuteScalarcmd.Dispose()conn.Dispose()As you can see the result is to be stored into a session variable to be used later.My query works just fine when created as an actual query and I supply the numerical value of the record. So I know that's working. I know it is connecting to the db based on the debugging I've done. I just, for some reason, cannot get that data type to convert. So my questions are:1. How do I convert the queried ID number to an integer so that I can use it in my stored proc?2. In the end, can the result be stored in the session variable as I have shown or are the session variables only for string types?

Hi,I have SQL Server DB, and I tried to insert some data. I used StorProc to do the insertion as follows:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.InsertPage ( @PageID int, @ParID int, @ChiID int, @PageContent ntext )AS INSERT INTO MP_Page (PageID, ParID, ChiID, PageContent) VALUES (@PageID,@ParID,@ChiID,@PageContent) RETURNThe problem happened when I tired to insert int null value in field ChiID which is allow null and here is my codeprivate void InsertPage(PagesDB PageDB, out pagedetails pages) { if (txtChild.Text == "") { int varChildID; varChildID = int.Parse(txtChild.Text.Trim()); pages = new pagedetails(int.Parse(ddlParent.SelectedValue.Trim()), varChildID, int.Parse(txtPageID.Text.Trim()), FTB.Text.Trim()); } else { pages = new pagedetails(int.Parse(ddlParent.SelectedValue.Trim()), int.Parse(txtChild.Text.Trim()), int.Parse(txtPageID.Text.Trim()), FTB.Text.Trim()); } PageDB.InsertPage(pages); } the error message says Input string was not in a correct format.Any idea ??Thank you
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi I am in the process of creating a new db in sql. In my users table I wish to set the UserIds as Integer datatype. It defualts on precision 4. Does this mean that when the column auto increments as its my primary key with a seed of one, my highest number allowed in the table would be row 9999. ???
Also if you where to store a phone number in your db, what column type would you give it. I have used varChar but its all numbers i want to store. Would this suffice.
Thanks
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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi 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.

SELECT name from STU
i am getting a message like this
Syntax error converting the varchar value '200.00' to a column of data type int.
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:
