Order By Case Cast Convert Error
Jul 23, 2005
I have created a SQL Stored Procedure that uses a Case statement to
determine the Order By. For one of the Case statements I am trying to
turn a Char field into Datetime in for the Order By, however I can not
get it to work. Can someone please take a look and my code below and
tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you.
ORDER BY
CASE WHEN @SortBy = 'dttm_stamp' THEN dttm_stamp End,
CASE WHEN @SortBy = 'Event_Date1' THEN CAST(CONVERT(char(10),
Event_Date1,101) as datetime) End,
CASE WHEN @SortBy = 'FullName' THEN Emp_lastname + ', ' +
Emp_firstname End,
CASE WHEN @SortBy = 'FullName Desc' THEN Emp_lastname + ', ' +
Emp_firstname End DESC,
CASE WHEN @SortBy = 'Emp_SSN' THEN Emp_SSN End

Hi I have a varchar(8000) and currently XML files are stored in varchar(8000).Some times when i am doing manuplactions in my varchar column i am getting with special characters error. so now i want to keep my column varchar(MAX) and when i am doing calculations i will convert my varchar datatype to xml datatype. By doing this i hope there wont be any special character problems.
When i am doing calculations with the wellformed xml i am getting error for both convert and cast methods as below
I am trying to do convert(xml,MyVarcharColumn)
Implicit conversion from data type xml to nvarchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
Also i tried with casting and getting same problme. is there any way to convert
please suggest me
Thanks

Dear Experts,Ok, I hate to ask such a seemingly dumb question, but I'vealready spent far too much time on this. More that Iwould care to admit.In Sql server, how do I simply change a character into a number??????In Oracle, it is:select to_number(20.55)from dualTO_NUMBER(20.55)----------------20.55And we are on with our lives.In sql server, using the Northwinds database:SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2)) as a_number,cast ( STR(r.regionid) as int ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2) ) as a_number,cast (STR(r.regionid,7,2) as numeric ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044Str converts from number to string in one motion.Isn't there a simple function in Sql Server to convertfrom string to number?What is the secret?Thanks

I have been trying to get the following Selects to work using a case expression in the order by section.
I know I can easily separate out the two statements but I want to do a select using the case statement below ;
however, I keep getting error 16 --"Order by items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a union.
If remove the case statement and put order by "internalID desc" I receive no errors. Moreover, when I take out the union statement and execute the two select statements with each including the case expression it runs as planned.
Can anyone tell what the problem is here? I have combed the web looking for an answer, but it seems that the statement is valid.
Thanks
J
declare @date
set @date = '2001'
select internalID from section_data_v3
union
select internalID from section_data_v4
order by
case when (@date = '2001') then internalID end desc

I am trying to write a Procedure in SQL 2005 that retreives a list of rows from the database. I pass to the procedure sorting parameters. This procedure works fine for all of the fields that I enter in the Order By, except for one.
The field that does not work is a varchar(500) field (named Description).
I am not sure what the problem is.
The error that I am getting is:
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 13
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
Attached is the T-SQL Code. The declare and set statements in the beginning are for informational purposes.

Hi guys,
The value in the field ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNTKEY is something like: '3130005'
I need to read the characters from position 4 to 6. If the value of that Substring is equal to the VALUE Zero then write "Zero".
In the code below, the first "case" is working nice, but the second (red one) is getting ERROR.
Please Help.
"SELECT ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNTKEY," _
& " Case When SUBSTRING(ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNTKEY, 4, 3)= '000' then 'Zero'" _
& " Case When CAST(SUBSTRING(ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNTKEY, 4, 3) as int) =0 then 'Zero'" _
& " Else 'Unknown'" _
& " End " _
& "AS 'Finding Zero' "
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.

When I do the following:
SELECT Name, Age FROM Students ORDER BY CAST(classname as int)
I'll get an error saying that "can't convert '1b' to int" and I am completely ok with that. However, I would still like to ORDER BY the int
value in the column [classname] that is of type varchar(5) so that i would get the ordering numeric. I don't want '22b' to come before '3b' !

We have a 3rd party application that connects to our SQL 2005 as a external database source.
Our external database has a 'datein' field that for some reason is stored as a varchar(50).
I can use cast to convert the field to datetime, but how would I then format to the yyyy-mm-dd format in the same select statement(using in view)?
I need to convert this field to a format of YYYY-MM-DD in order for the 3rd party application to search on it correctly.
Below is an example of the data --
FieldName = DateIn
DateType = Varchar(50)

Hi all,
I have a VB 6.0 application that interacts with an MS Access backend. I am in the process of converting it so that it interacts with SQL Server 2000. The current applications uses Cint, CStr, etc. functions which are MS-Access specific, so I am now switching over to Convert (or Cast) function. The problem is that there are certain places wherein I first need to store the value of the resultant CAST/Convert function in a variable and then use that value in a SQL statement. However, I cant seem to figure out a way of storing the results from CAST/CONVERT functions in the VB 6.0 variable. All the examples on Internet show use of these functions directly in an SQL statement e.g. "Select CAST(title as Int) from xyz", etc.
Can anybody tell me how can i get the values to be stored in the variable? I am really stuck here and cant seem to progress.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards:
Prathmesh

I have a table with all varchar data for all different fields for money and int etc. I want to do a calcuation in one field with the rule as below:
UPDATE [dbo].[tblPayments]
SET [PreInjuryWage]=
CASE
WHEN [WeekNo]<14
THEN ([MaxWorkCover]+ [WeeklyEarnings] )/0.95
ELSE ([MaxWorkCover] + 0.80 * [WeeklyEarnings] ) /0.80
END
I tried this command after many other ways of tries
UPDATE [dbo].[tblPayments1]
SET [PreInjuryWage]=
CASE
WHEN [WeekNo]<14
THEN CAST ( (cast([MaxWorkCover] as money )+ cast([WeeklyEarnings] as money ))/0.95 AS Varchar(10) )
ELSE CAST ( (convert(money, [MaxWorkCover] + (0.80 * convert(money, [WeeklyEarnings] )) )/0.80 ) as varchar(10))
END
The structure of the table ( its a legacy table from 2000 i beleive)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblPayments](
[PaymentID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ClaimID] [int] NOT NULL,
[WeekNo] [smallint] NULL,
[code]....

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between Cast and Convert...?
BOL tells me that they provide similar functionality; it doesn't say that they provide the same functionality.
What is the purpose of having both... is the reason historical?
Which one performs better?

how do you get it to sort correctly for the date? at the minute its sorting on the characters rather than actual date value
Code Snippet
INSERT INTO @TempItems (OrderID)
SELECT OrderID
FROM Orders o
INNER JOIN Customers c ON c.CustomerID = o.CustomerID
INNER JOIN Employees e ON e.EmployeeID = o.EmployeeID
ORDER BY
CASE @SortOrder --Order ASC
WHEN 0 THEN cast(OrderID as varchar(100))
WHEN 1 THEN cast(c.CompanyName as varchar(100))
WHEN 2 THEN cast(e.FirstName as varchar(100))
WHEN 3 THEN cast(o.OrderDate as varchar(100))
WHEN 4 THEN cast(o.RequiredDate as varchar(100))
WHEN 5 THEN cast(o.ShippedDate as varchar(100))
ELSE '1'

CAST
Code:
CAST(Avg(CAST(units AS DECIMAL(10,2))) AS DECIMAL(10,2))
from myTable
CONVERT
Code:
CONVERT(numeric(10,2),avg(CONVERT(numeric(10,2),units)))

I've a variable in my SP that I'd like to use to change the format of my output. Try this!
select case when 1=2 then cast(1 as decimal(10,2)) else cast(2 as decimal(10,0)) end
Then this:
select case when 1=1 then cast(1 as decimal(10,2)) else cast(2 as decimal(10,0)) end
Why in either case, the output is returned as n.nn ? Whilst single select expressions (like these):
select cast(1 as decimal(10,2)) -- = 1.00
select cast(2 as decimal(10,0)) -- = 2
Work fine.

How do I use the CAST or CONVERT function in the code below, I require a third column (named Diff) which Minus the StartTime from the EndTime and the result is outputted in the third column (named Diff).
Calculation: @Diff = (@EndTime - @StartTime)
I still want the variables (@StartTime and @EndTime) to remain as nvarchar.
The code:
DECLARE @StartTime nvarchar(10) = '12:10';
DECLARE @EndTime nvarchar(10) = '12:30';
DECLARE @Diff time(1) = '00:00';
SELECT @StartTime AS '@StartTime', @EndTime AS '@EndTimes', @Diff AS '@Diff';

I have been having some trouble trying to get the date format YYYYMMDD 00:00:00.00 to convert to MM/DD/YYYY. I am using SQL 2005 and Reporting Services. I attempted several variations to solve this problem as outlined below, with the final working conclusion at the end. I am not saying that this is the BEST or the ONLY way to achieve the solution, but it worked for me.
Code Block
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT DATE_TIME AS DATE1
FROM TRANSLOG
--returns value of 20071027 02:26:24.06
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT CAST(DATE_TIME AS SMALLDATETIME) AS DATE1
FROM TRANSLOG
--returns value of 2007-10-27 02:26:00
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT LEFT(CAST(DATE_TIME AS SMALLDATETIME),11) AS DATE1
FROM TRANSLOG
--returns value of Oct 27 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT CAST(SUBSTRING(DATE_TIME,0,9) AS SMALLDATETIME) AS DATE1
FROM TRANSLOG
--returns value of 2007-10-27 00:00:00
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), DATE_TIME, 103)
FROM TRANSLOG
--although this works with GETDATE(), it does not work with the DATE_TIME field
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), CAST(DATE_TIME AS SMALLDATETIME), 101) AS DATE1
FROM TRANSLOG
--THIS WORKS!!! Displaying 10/27/2007
Hope this helps somebody someday!

All of my currency columns are only storing 2 decimal places when I insert into the database but when I pull out the data with a SELECT statement, I always get 4 decimal places instead of the 2 that were inserted.
For example:
Database Price SELECT statement Price
100.56 100.5600
I have tried to use the CAST and/or CONVERT commands but I cannot get the output to come out as 100.56. Has anyone had a similar problem?

i am trying to take a field that has part of a date in it, so I have to parse it out as follows:
SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)
This is because a date of 04/16/2014 will show as 160416 in the first part of the field I need to parse it out of, thus becoming 04162014.
From there I then need to convert this "date" into a legitimate SQL datetime type, so that I can then run a DATEDIFF to compare it to when the record was actually entered, which is a separate field in the table, and already in datetime format.
When I use the below statement, I am getting the message that, "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string."
CAST((SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)) as datetime)
I also tried CONVERT(datetime, (SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)), and got the same message.
how I can parse that field, then convert it to a datetime format for running a DATEDIFF statement?

It will be part of the stored proc, but for now I couldn't even get it running in ssms. It will be two parameters/variables, one for order by column name and other for order by direction, i.e. desc or asc.I have tried following three ways, but none is working:
(1)
order by case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Desc' then A_ID end desc
case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Asc' then A_ID end asc
(2)
order by case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Desc' then A_ID desc end
case when @Sort_by= '[A_ID]' AND @Sort_Dir ='Asc' then A_ID asc end
(3)
ORDER BY CASE @Sort_by when '[A_ID]' then [A_ID] end
Case @Sort_Dir when 'Desc' then desc end

The query below at the bottom works, but when I try to add the line below (a third line/argument in the CASE statement) then I get an error. It is not possible to have a table name and a DESC (sort order) in the same CASE line/argument. Are there other ways to accomplish this, because I would like to sort with both "h.ObjectType" and "h.ObjectType DESC"? WHEN @SortBy = 2 THEN h.ObjectType DESC SELECT weight, ObjectText.ObjectId, ObjectText.ObjectType, ObjectText.Title, ObjectText.ShortText FROM @hits h INNER JOIN ObjectText ON h.id = ObjectText.ObjectId AND h.ObjectType = ObjectText.ObjectType WHERE ObjectText.LanguageCode = @LanguageCode ORDER BY CASE WHEN @SortBy = 0 THEN weight WHEN @SortBy = 1 THEN h.ObjectType END DESCRegards, Sigurd
