Problem With Converting The Nvarchar Value 'xxxxxID' To A Column Of Data Type Int.
Jan 23, 2007
Hi,
I have a webform with a drop-down listbox, binded to a table and a GridView, binded to another table. My goal is when I select a value (country in my case) in the drop-down listbox to change what is shown in the GridView, based on the ID that I get from the drop-down listbox.
Here is the code (the important parts...):
Select a Country : <asp:DropDownList ID="CountriesDropDownList" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="CountryID" Width="220px" AutoPostBack="True">
When I run it I get this error "Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'CountryID' to a column of data type int.". If I specify the Type="Int" in <asp:ControlParameter>..</> I get "Input string was not in a correct format. "
This is supposed to be easy, but I can't make it work ! Any suggestions will be more than welcome.
Hi, all I'm getting this error at runtime when my page tries to populate a datagrid. Here's the relevant code. First, the user selects his choice from a dropdownlist, populated with a sqldatasource control on the aspx side:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlDataSourceCompany" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [PayrollCompanyID], [DisplayName] FROM [rsrc_PayrollCompany] ORDER BY [DisplayName]"> </asp:SqlDataSource> And the dropdown list's code:<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlPayrollCompany" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="sqlDataSourcePayrollCompany" DataTextField="DisplayName" DataValueField="PayrollCompanyID"> </asp:DropDownList> Then, I use the selectedindexchanged event to bind the data to the datagrid. Here's that code: 1 Sub BindData() 2 3 Dim ds As New DataSet 4 Dim sda As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter 5 Dim strSQL As String 6 Dim strCon As String 7 8 strSQL = "SELECT [SocialSecurityNumber], [Prefix], [FirstName], [LastName], [HireDate], [PayrollCostPercent], " & _ 9 "[Phone], [BadgeNumber], [IsSupervisor], [SupervisorID], [IsUser], [IsScout] FROM [rsrc_Personnel] " & _ 10 "WHERE ([PayrollCompanyID] = @PayrollCompanyID)" 11 12 strCon = "Data Source=DATASOURCE;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USERID;Password=PASSWORD" 13 14 sda = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, strCon) 15 16 sda.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@PayrollCompanyID", Me.ddlPayrollCompany.SelectedItem.ToString())) 17 18 sda.Fill(ds, "rsrc_Personnel") 19 20 dgPersonnel.DataSource = ds.Tables("rsrc_Personnel") 21 dgPersonnel.DataBind() 22 23 End Sub 24
I'm assuming my problem lies in line 16 of the above code. I've tried SelectedItemIndex, SelectedItemValue too and get errors for those, as well. What am I missing? Thanks for anyone's help! Cappela07
Hi i keep getting this error when i search based on Team name (dropdownlist) or coach name(textbox). However it works when i make the search based on the region id(dropdownlist) here is my stored procedure;ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stream_FindTeam] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here @coachName varchar(100), @TeamName varchar(100),@regionID INT

Hi I have an insert stored procedure with a parameter @eventDate date type date time. I have written a web form that takes the textbox.text value and assigns to the @eventDate parameter using a querystring. Howevr when I run the application I get a SQL Exception error converting data type nvarchar to datetime. I have tried dssqlInsertEvent.InsertParameters.add("EventDate", convert.todatetime(txtEventDate.text)); wbut received another error. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I am using MS SQL Server 2008R2 along with VB 2010.The first question is: why is it even trying to convert anything to numeric? I have NO numeric data types. And I don't have any nvarchar data types either. I'm very confused.Doesn't nchar include any and all characters, in any combination? Should I change everything to text data type? Maybe something else? Some values are going to be blank. The Lab/Source Lots have numbers, letters and dashes.
This is a common error for SQL Server, but I got it in a uncommon way.I have a table called - tblIDNumber where there are two columns - IDN_Number [NVarchar(200)] and Temp [BigInt]
If I run, SELECT * FROM dbo.tblIDNumber WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33 AND IDN_Removed = 0 AND CAST(IDN_Number AS BIGINT) = 1
SQL Server give me the error: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1 Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.
I first thought IDN_Number in type 33 has characters, but it doesn't, becasue the below query works!!!
UPDATE dbo.tblIDNumber SET Temp = CAST(IDN_Number AS BIGINT) WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33 AND IDN_Removed = 0
To workaround, I ran the query,
UPDATE dbo.tblIDNumber SET IDN_Number = '123' WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33 AND IDN_Removed = 0
and then I ran the first query, and SQL Server does NOT give me the same error - Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1 Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.
Second query approved there is nothing wrong from converting the value in IDN_Number to a BigInt, but the third query gave the hint that data might be the cause?????
finally, I found the root cause to be an index that the first query uses :
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_tblIDNumber_Covering] ON [dbo].[tblIDNumber] ( [IDN_Removed] ASC, [IDNumberCode] ASC ) INCLUDE ( [IDN_Number], [IDN_Reference]) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 85) ON [PRIMARY] GO
If I remove the index, the first query works without the error.
I'm pretty desperat after trying solving the above problem in several days. I hope somone here can help me :-)
I have this stored procedure. When I try to Execute the storedprocedure where I have a date as parameter I get the above error.
I checked (many times), that the input parameter is a datetime format (30-05-2008) and also I checked the tabel and it is datetime format. I checked the table to see if it was english datetime format - but all the datetimes that are listet are listed in danish datetime format DD-MM-YYYY.
In the stored procedure I try this:
fProjectSkuTimeStamp >= @ReducedTime
I can't figure out where it gets that nvarchar from?
I am using Sql server 2005, Asp.net 2.0. In my application i have to store a mobile number in database, and in table it is declared as nvarchar(50) (datatype). In stored procedure as it is nvarchar(50). In my code , stored procedure is called in a function. In that while executing project error is coming as (cmd.ExecuteNonQuery) Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value xxxxxxxxx to data type int. Kindly give your suggestions to solve this problem.
In the following code I want to compare 2 values: AccessVal and SQLVal. The values are stored as nvarchars, so I'm isolating the numeric values in a subquery. Notice I'm only selecting 1 row. The commented line, where I compare the values, is throwing the error.
SELECT QA_AutoID, AccessVal, SQLVal ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) as AccessFloat ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) as SQLFloat FROM QA WHERE QA_AutoID in ( SELECT TOP 1 QA_AutoID FROM QA WHERE ISNUMERIC(SQLVal) = 1 AND ISNUMERIC(AccessVal) = 1 ) --AND ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) <> ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) ORDER BY ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) DESC ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) DESC
Here is the output with the comparison commented out...
Here's what I get with the comparison line activated:
I've tried converting to numeric, int and bigint instead of float. I've tried CAST instead of CONVERT. Nothing works.
I can't seem to fix the following error in my stored procedure.
Error Message: Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '1007-001' to data type int.
The line of code in my stored procedure that seems to be the problem is the following:
CASE WHEN [Order Details].[Job No] IS NULL THEN [Orders].[Order No] ELSE [Order Details].[Job No] END
Order No has a data type of INT and Job No has a data type NVARCHAR(8). In the above case statement i'm not trying to convert anything but just display a column depending on the out come of the case statement. If anyone knows how to get around this error you help would be very welcome.
I want to get Email address from sql database. But whenever I executed stored procedure I get an error message "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'xxxxxx@xxxxxx' to data type int" If I want some numeric ID it is worked.
I also change my SP like this but results same.
ALTER procedure [dbo].[findConsultantMail]
(
@PerID nvarchar(18),
@perMail nvarchar(100) OUTPUT
)
as
SELECT @perMail=PerMail FROM Personel
WHERE (PerID =cast(@PerID as numeric(18,0)))
return cast(@perMail as nvarchar(100))
How can I get a string value form stored procedure.
I get the following error : "Msg 8115, Level 16, State 8, Line 1.. Arithmetic overflow error converting nvarchar to data type numeric. The statement has been terminated."
The table is set to nvarchar, and i am just trying to make the prices go up 10%.

I have a table(tab1) with a column(col1) of type varchar. I insert a row with an integer value(1). And when i query the table using the sql, select col1 from tab1 where col1 = 1, it works fine.
But after i insert a varchar, say 'a' and then do the same query, i get an error message saying, "Syntax error converting the varchar value 'a' to a column of data type int.". Why is this so? Please reply.
Well I am doing a simple insert through a stored procedure..., but I am getting this error. In my table I have the UserID as a VARCHAR 100. I am storing from a textbox that will have number because its there email. But I am not converting anything. Do I need to convert in this scenario?? Server Error in '/pickem' Application.

I'm moving data from one database to another (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ....) and am encountering this error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6 Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
My problem is that Line 6 is:
set @brn_pk = '0D4BDE66347C440F'
so that is obviously not the problem and my query has almost 200 columns. I can go through one by one and compare what column is int in my destination table and what is varchar in my source tables, but that could take quite a while. How I can work out what column is causing the problem?

I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:
We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
Hey folks, the question is fairly simple, unfortunately the answer has proven rather elusive.
Is it possible to declare a variable which would then be used to identify either a column or table in an SQL statement?
Here's a basic idea of what I'd like to do:
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT * FROM @myVar
or
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT @myVar FROM MyTable
I'm probably looking for some sort of built in function that will accept an argument here... like COLUMN(@myVar) or something of the like. I just don't know where to look...
