Integer, Varchar And IN

Jan 25, 2004

In 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?

(same question is also posted at sql-server-performance.com forums)

Concatenate Integer And Varchar

Feb 29, 2008

I have a table like this:

tbl_Projects
-------------------------
ProjID | Description
-------------------------
1 | First
2 | Second
3 | Third

I want to write a SELECT statement that will output in this format:
1 - First
2 - Second
etc...

I've tried these two statements:

SELECT (ProjID + ' - ' + Description) AS Projects
FROM tbl_Projects
//Error: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'First' to data type int.

and

SELECT CONCAT(ProjID, CONCAT(' - ', Description)) AS Projects
FROM tbl_Projects
//Error: The data types int and varchar are incompatible in the concat operator.

Is there any way to concatenate an int value with a varchar value?

Jul 23, 2005

I have a table of zip codes, some with Canadian zips. I'd like to takea zip code and search for nearby zips. For example:Dim theZip As Integer = textbox1.text....Parameter.Add(@ziplow, SqlDbType.Int, 5).Value = (theZip - 10)....Parameter.Add(@ziphigh, SqlDbType.Int, 5).Value = (theZip + 10)SELECT * from ZIPCODES where Cast(zip_code as Integer) BETWEEN @lowzipAND @highzipProblem is the letters in the Canadian records cannot be cast asintegers for this process. I get this error:Syntax error converting the varchar value '53151 1' to a column of datatype int.Is there a SQL query that can exclude if no cast can be made to anInteger?Thanks!Anton

SQL2K Help! SQL Union Query And Varchar / Integer Conversion Problems =(

Aug 8, 2007

Hi, I need help. Understatement of the year right now, too =
So... I've created a stored procedure that partially pulls a SQL union query to give me a complete one-line result set of a bunch of data... four separate selects comprise the query.
The tables are structured identically to each other, but the values being pulled are specific and distinct. All of the non-date values stored are varchar values in the tables, and yet when I execute the SQL union query, I get the error message: Syntax error converting the varchar value to a column of data type int.
I know SQL does implicit conversions, however Im not sure why it's trying to do that with this query, I suppose. it should have been straightforward.
Any suggestions? Here is the query logic to look at, in case I'm missing the obvious

exec('
SELECT ACCOUNT, LNAME, FNAME, SEX, DOB, cast(MA_ContentValue as decimal) as MA_ContentValue, cast(MA_DOS as smalldatetime) as MA_DOS,cast(LDL_ContentValue as decimal) as LDL_ContentValue, cast(LDL_DOS as smalldatetime) as LDL_DOS, cast(HgbA1C_ContentValue as decimal)as HgbA1C_ContentValue, HgbA1C_DOS, cast(Creatinine_ContentValue as decimal) as Creatinine_ContentValue, Creatinine_DOS
FROM ( SELECT Account, Lname, FName, Sex, DOB,MA_ContentValue, MA_DOS, 0 as LDL_ContentValue, 0 as LDL_DOS, 0 as HgbA1C_ContentValue, 0 as HgbA1C_DOS, 0 as Creatinine_ContentValue, 0 as Creatinine_DOS FROM dbo.vwDiabetic_MicroalbuminTop3 UNION SELECT Account, Lname, FName, Sex, DOB, 0 as MA_ContentValue, 0 as MA_DOS, LDL_ContentValue, LDL_DOS, 0 as HgbA1C_ContentValue, 0 as HgbA1C_DOS, 0 as Creatinine_ContentValue, 0 as Creatinine_DOS FROM dbo.vwDiabetic_LDLTop3 UNION SELECT Account, Lname, FName, Sex, DOB, 0 as MA_ContentValue, 0 as MA_DOS, 0 as LDL_ContentValue, 0 as LDL_DOS, HgbA1C_ContentValue, HgbA1C_DOS, 0 as Creatinine_ContentValue, 0 as Creatinine_DOS FROM dbo.vwDiabetic_HgbA1CTop3 UNION
SELECT Account, Lname, FName, Sex, DOB, 0 as MA_ContentValue, 0 as MA_DOS, 0 as LDL_ContentValue, 0 as LDL_DOS, 0 as HgbA1C_ContentValue, 0 as HgbA1C_DOS, Creatinine_ContentValue, Creatinine_DOS FROM dbo.vwDiabetic_CreatinineTop3) tbl1

')
Anything else that I can provide for someone to help me? I appreciate any/all feedback!

DB Design :: Convert Integer Date (MMDDYY) And Integer Time (HHMMSS) To DateTime Format?

Jul 20, 2015

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.

Auto Incremented Integer Primary Keys Vs Varchar Primary Keys

Aug 13, 2007

Hi,

I have recently been looking at a database and wondered if anyone can tell me what the advantages are supporting a unique collumn, which can essentially be seen as the primary key, with an identity seed integer primary key.

For example:

id [unique integer auto incremented primary key - not null],
ClientCode [unique index varchar - not null],
name [varchar null],
surname [varchar null]

isn't it just better to use ClientCode as the primary key straight of because when one references the above table, it can be done easier with the ClientCode since you dont have to do a lookup on the ClientCode everytime.

Regards
Mike

Problems Moving Data Over 8000k In DB2 Varchar Column Into SQL Server Varchar(max) Using SSIS

Nov 20, 2007

I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.

I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.

I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "LIST_DATA_RCVD".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: There was an error with output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (287). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: The "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.

[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.

Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?

The Data Types Varchar And Varchar Are Incompatible In The Modulo Operator

Jan 4, 2008

I am trying to create a store procedure inside of SQL Management Studio console and I kept getting errors. Here's my store procedure.

Code Block
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sqlOutlookSearch]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@OLIssueID int = NULL,
@searchString varchar(1000) = NULL
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for procedure here
IF @OLIssueID <> 11111
SELECT * FROM [OLissue], [Outlook]
WHERE [OLissue].[issueID] = @OLIssueID AND [OLissue].[issueID] = [Outlook].[issueID] AND [Outlook].[contents] LIKE + ''%'' + @searchString + ''%''
ELSE
SELECT * FROM [Outlook]
WHERE [Outlook].[contents] LIKE + ''%'' + @searchString + ''%''
END

And the error I kept getting is:

Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sqlOutlookSearch, Line 18

The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the modulo operator.

Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sqlOutlookSearch, Line 21

The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the modulo operator.

Any help is appreciated.

SSIS - Importing Varchar From Access Into SQL2005 As Varchar

Nov 20, 2006

For the life of me I cannot figure out why SSIS will not convert varchar data. instead of using the table to table method, I wrote a SQL query so that I could transform the datatype ntext to varchar 512 understanding that natively MS is going towards all Unicode applications.

The source fields from Access are int, int, int and varchar(512). The same is true of the destination within SQL Server 2005. the field 'Answer' is the varchar field in question....

I get the following error

Validating (Error)

Messages

Error 0xc02020f6: Data Flow Task: Column "Answer" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Error 0xc004706b: Data Flow Task: "component "Destination - Query" (28)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Error 0xc004700c: Data Flow Task: One or more component failed validation.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Error 0xc0024107: Data Flow Task: There were errors during task validation.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

DTS used to be a very strong tool but a simple import such as this is causing me extreme grief and wondering of SQL2005 is ready for primetime. FYI SP1 is installed. I am running this from a workstation and not on the server if that makes a difference...

Any help would be appreciated.

Datatype Question Varchar(max), Varchar(250), Or Char(250)

Oct 18, 2007

I have a table that contains a lot of demographic information. The data is usually small (<20 chars) but ocassionally needs to handle large values (250 chars). Right now its set up for varchar(max) and I don't think I want to do this.

How does varchar(max) store info differently from varchar(250)? Either way doesn't it have to hold the container information? So the word "Crackers" have 8 characters to it and information sayings its 8 characters long in both cases. This meaning its taking up same amount of space?

Also my concern will be running queries off of it, does a varchar(max) choke up queries because the fields cannot be properly analyzed? Is varchar(250) any better?

Should I just go with char(250) and watch my db size explode?

Usually the data that is 250 characters contain a lot of blank space that is removed using a SPROC so its not usually 250 characters for long.

Any insight to this would be appreciated.

Difference VarChar(50) And VarChar(500)

Nov 26, 2007

Hey,

I was doing some research on how SQL stores data on disk.
MSDN states that when storring a varchar, only the length of the data itself is used plus two bytes.
So, if you store "car" in a VarChar(50) it will take 5 bytes.
But when you store "car" in a VarChar(500) it will also take 5 bytes.

What is the reason users should define the parameter lenght?
Can you use VarChar(8000) whole the time, without any drawback?

Thanks

Integer / Integer

May 19, 2008

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 ?

Integer Column With Min / Max Value

May 6, 2015

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.

Integer To Datetime

Hi

I use this to get all users from active directory.

SELECT *

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
