I have log files that I am loading into a table with duration data in the format "xx hrs xx min xx sec". Only the parts that are required will be there so if duration is only 2 seconds , the column will show "2 sec".
I am trying to get the duration into in to do some analysis on it and I have come up with this query so far which returns the correct data but i am wondering if there is a way to do what I am trying in a more readable format.
CREATE TABLE #tmp(duration VARCHAR(20))
INSERT INTO #tmp VALUES ('1 hrs 20 min 12 sec'), --4812 sec ('48 sec'), --48 sec ('39 min 1 sec'), --2341 sec ('11 hrs 1 min 1 sec'), --39661 sec ('59 min 0 sec'), --3540 sec ('2 min 50 sec') --170 sec

Is there any method to find out the size of an image datatype currently in the database. For example I have 2 tables that contain the same image, but the archive table is not displaying the same as the main. I am thinking the image file was corrupted somehow but don't know how to check this out. Any ideas?
I have a table with an IMAGE datatype. Without using xp_cmdshell and bcp, is it possible to get this image to disk? We do have the OLE procedures enabled so I can use those to create in instance of the Scripting.FileSystemObject and write to disk but how do I convert the image datatype to something I can store on disk and it actually be a readable format? If it helps, we only store this particular field in JPEG format in the database.
Hi all,I have a database with 40GB of binary objects stored in image columnsin two tables.Our database server is also used for another 15 databases.SQL Server caches the image-column, causing the cache-hit-ratio todramatically decrease, since fetching a couple of binaries from theimage-column uses up thememory, and throws other cached objects out of the cache.Is there a way, and could someone tell me how, to avoid caching ofspecificcolumns/tables?Regards///Magnus

I have a column called "Image" in a table that stores all the user information. Image holds the data for the user's badge photo. I'm currently working on a project to move some of the data from the users table to more relevant tables. With the SQL script I wrote to copy the data into the new tables the image data appears to not have been transferred correctly. I had tried storing the image data into a variable of type varbinary(8000) before inserting it back in. Is there a certain datatype that must be used to store the data when reading from a column of data type "image" and then inserting it into another column of data type "image" without getting truncation or corruption of the data?

I am using the image datatype to upload files onto SQL SErver 2000. My problem is that it seems as though the database is only accepting files of size 65Kb or less. What is the best way of resolving this problem?
We used SSIS to move data from a table in SQL 2000 which had a column with the image datatype to a column in a table in SQL 2005 that has a datatype of varbinary(max). No errors were produced from the SSIS package.
There were a number of records where the DATALENGTH of the column with the image datatype was greater than 8000. Was the data truncated for these records?
This is probably a very elementary question, but I am not familiar with the application or the data.
Below is the source table in SQL 2000 and a select count(*) ...
Hi everyone. I have a field that is image datatype. That table is included in a snapshot replication. When I try to update that field - on the publication server, which is the same as distributor server - if the image is too big (in size), an error message appears. When I try to update with images that has less size it works. If I take out the subscriptions, it works for every image size. Any ideas?

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
