Problem Convert Datatype 'hyperlink' From Access To SQL-Server
Mar 27, 2000
Hi,
on a migration from access 97 to SQL Server 7.0 columns in access like 'hyperlink' are converted to datatype 'text' on the SQL Server 7.0. Now I miss the function in the access application I had before with fields like 'hyperlink'. Now I can't start e.g. a word document with a click and I have to type in the hyperlink manualy.
Does anyone had the same problem an possibly have a resolve?
Thanks.
I upgraded an Access 2003 database to SQL Server 2005 Express with the upsize wizard- worked great! Have a field that needs to be a hyperlink data type. There is no datatype in SQL that is hyperlink. Even if it were a text field, possibly inserting a hyperlink would work, but the insert hyplink in Access is unavailable, because the datasource is sql, maybe. I have a command button that ties to this function which won't work, obviously since it is not available. I need this field, it points to a file containing data that is being imported into the database. Huge piece of the database functionality. Making it easy for the user to find the file and using the vba to convert the data.
Saw the option of jump to url, but I don't think that will work? couldn't find the exact syntax either.
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?
I need to be able to to extract the data that is returned by clicking a hyperlink. I click the link and it displays the data.
I know that SSIS has a web services task, and that appears to be a neat feature, but the link I am connecting to does not have a WSDL file or anything like that. So I think I cannot use this task.
Does anyone have a suggestion about how I might do this?
Hi all, There are several columns called enabled with a char datatype in my database. One enabled column per table. These columns either have a value of T or F (true or false), depending on whether they're enabled or not. I want to change these columns to a bit datatype and insert the relevant value of true or false... I guess the best way to do this is to add a new column to a table with a bit datatype, and based on the value in the current enabled column, insert TRUE or FALSE. Anyone ideas on the best way to accomplish this? Thanks.
I am using a varchar datatype for PIN number to handle zero at start. Now i want to do mathematical calculation to encrypt the PIN so i need to convert that varchar datatype to int so that zero should not be discarted after conversion. i.e. 0123 and 123 must not be treated as same PIN.
Please kindly give me a way out. I am using RSA encryption.
I have a number of bit datatypes ( Boat types: Cruiser, Sportfisher, Megayacht, Sailboat) that I would like to place in a text box and do away with the individual selections. For instance, some marinas cater to "Cruiser", "Megayacht" and "Sailboat" while others include the "Sportfisher" also and there are many other combinations of vessels. I am stumped at how to write a query that takes the existing "True" values for each boat type and places them in a text box in the form of " Cruisers, Megayachts, Sailboats" .
Hi, I have a talbe with a column type varchar(8000). i am facing problems sometimes as it corsses the limit also have the problems with special characters. so i went through few articles and been advised to use xml datatype. but when i am changing comumn name from varchar (8000) to xml as: alter table tblStudentForm alter column FormDetails xml not null i am getting following error: Msg 9400, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 XML parsing: line 46, character 402, unexpected end of input The statement has been terminated.
I have a table Table1 which has a Col called "Msg" datatype image<binary>. Msg alreay has the plain text or RTF text as a image datatype (binary)If I execute the following query "Select Msg from Table1 where id =3" then this query is returning the following ASCII/Binary data.Msg = "0x7B5C727466315C616E73695C616E7369637067313235325C64656666305C6465666C616E67313033337B5C666F6E7474626C7B5C66305C6673776973735C66707271325C66636861727365743020417269616C3B7D7B5C66315C6673776973735C66707271325C666368617273657430204D6963726F736F667420"Can any body tell me how can I convert the above binary data to plain text from my query?Thanks for any reply.
I read the topic from JROdden and this case is similiar but...
I got several varchar fields with values like 1.2 1.3 ... these I can covert with select CONVERT(dec(5,2), fieldname) as fieldname
In fact I also solved undefined- and NULL-values with. CONVERT(decimal(12, 2), CASE WHEN GESCHKOSTMAX IS NULL OR GESCHKOSTMAX < '0' THEN '0' ELSE GESCHKOSTMAX END) as GESCHKOSTMAX,
But now there are values like 1,4 and these ones neither CONVERT nor CAST will handle.
I tried the SELECT DISTINCT KMPAUSCHALE FROM extr_INTFIRMA WHERE (isnumeric(KMPAUSCHALE) = 1)
and get 0,40 0.25 0.30 and so on...
The error is: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Driver][SQL Server]Error converting datatype varchar to decimal. (or float or numeric (whatever I tried))
I think the easiest way would be to insist on higher data quality but I also would like to solve this interesting challenge.
Thanks for any hints
By the way, I followed rudys link to http://rudy.ca/afdb.html and now I know how I could protect myself !!!!
There must be a voice in my head saying: Try the db-forum, try it and stay happy... ;-)
