SQL Server User Defined Function Treating String As Integer
Oct 3, 2006I have a User Defined Function in my SQL Server 2000 database which takes a string and adds an integer quantity to it. The function basically takes the string (string because of first character and spaces) and adds an integer to it creating a new number (starting number and ending number concept).If I pass in a string that has a letter for the first character, it works fine. However, if the first character is an integer it trims out all 0s and whitespace and ruins the necessary formatting. Note, the formatting is always the same - x xxx xxxx xx. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.Example:D 499 8900 01 plus a Quantity of 10 returns D 499 89000 11 which is perfect.However,0 076 0000 03 plus a Quantity of 1 returns 764 764 (it should be 0 076 0000 04)------------------------------------CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[NEW_End_NR2]( @OldStr as char(20), @Quantity int )RETURNS @NewNR_Tbl TABLE (New_EndNr char(20) primary key)AS BEGIN DECLARE @NewStr char(20) DECLARE @addNr integerBEGIN Set @addNr = @Quantity set @NewStr = (select REPLACE(@OldStr,left(@OldStr, 1),'')) set @NewStr = (select REPLACE(@NewStr,' ', '')) + @addNr set @NewStr = (SELECT left(@OldStr, 1) + SPACE(1) + left(@NewStr,3) + SPACE(1) + left(REPLACE(@NewStr, left(@NewStr,3), ''), 4) + SPACE(1) + left(REPLACE(@NewStr, left(@NewStr,7), ''), 3)) BEGIN INSERT INTO @NewNR_Tbl (New_EndNr) VALUES(@NewStr) END END RETURNEND

View 3 Replies View RelatedAVG Function On An Integer Column- Truncation
Oct 25, 2006When I use the AVG Function on an integer column, the result is truncated
Example:
Select AVG(field1) from table1
Field1 is an int field and has 4 rows with the values 114,115,115 and 115. This will return 114.
I can get the correct result by using the following SELECT:
SELECT CAST(AVG(CAST (field1 as decimal(18,1)))+ .5 as int) from table1
Am I missing something here? Is there an simpler way to do this?
Any help will be appreciated.

How To Convert A Hex String To An Integer?
Feb 1, 2000Hi folks,
I'm trying to import data from a text file (UnicodeData.txt) into
an SQL table. Some of the fields are unicode values (16 bits)
expressed as four hexidecimal digits. I've succeeded in importing
the data as character strings, but I have not found a way to convert
them into numbers. (They could be stored as int or nchar.)
I've tried convert(binary/int/whatever, string); E.g.
select convert(int, '0x1111') from import_unicode
gives the error
Syntax error converting the varchar value '0x1111' to a column of data type int.
I could write code to strip off one character at a time, convert the
hex digit to a decimal value, shift left, etc., but I find it hard
to believe that's the best way.
Any help is appreciated. Please email answer to lars_huttar@sil.org
as I don't read this board.
Thanks,

Oct 9, 2007
We have account numbers that are string values, looking like: "01.02.02.00.0040.000.000".
We need to parse individual segments and pull out a range of values treating the segment like an integer. For example we would like all accounts that have the fifth segment ranging in values from .0040. through .0060. inclusive.
We've been trying to do something with the like clause: LIKE '__.__.__.__.[0-0][0-0][4-6][0-0]'.
We want 40 through 60 but we're getting 40, 50, and 60. If we change the last bracket to [0-9] we get 40 through 69.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to either fix our like clause or another approach?
Thanks.

How To Write A Function With Integer Parameter Accepting Null
Jan 19, 2007I've got a function which inserts into a database, and has arguments for each item being inserted
A couple of the items are integer datatypes (in SQL), but they will accept nulls
When I add my parameters, it asks to explicitly use the SQL datatype (which is integer):.Add("@myParam", SqlDbType.Int).Value = myParam
In the header of the function, I assumed I could make the argument optional - Optional ByVal myParam as Integer=System.DBNull.Value
However, when the function runs, I always get an error:System.InvalidCastException was unhandled by user code Message="Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid."
I make them all Optional (which won't happen, but various arguments may be, at different timesand I get this error, with the last item (which is on a separate line), in red:Constant expression is required.
How can I get around this?
Validation Error When Converting Integer Zip To String
Sep 17, 2007I am taking a five-digit zipcode from a database where it is stored as an int, and I would like to store it as a char(5).
I set my OLE DB source to pull from a proc as:
Code Snippet
SELECT
cust.CustomerID as CustomerID,
case
when cust.Zip > 99999 then Null
when cust.Zip < 0 then Null
else REPLICATE('0',5 - LEN(cast(cust.Zip as varchar(5))))
+ cast(cust.Zip as varchar(5))
end as CustomerZip
However, when I do that, SSIS sees the external column as a string of length 8000, and insists on giving me a truncation warning on validation.
I also tried bringing the Zip field in as an int and doing a data conversion in the SSIS data stream. This worked great until I added a Derived Column transform to do the REPLICATE function as above to add leading zeros to the zip code. Once I did that, SSIS decided that there was a chance of truncation again and started with the truncation warnings.
My derived column is:
Code Snippet
REPLICATE("0",5 - LEN(TRIM([CustomerZip]))) + TRIM([CustomerZip])
BTW - I don't think the TRIM() function is really necessary in the above, but I tried it out of desperation and it made no difference.
This is really starting to drive me nuts. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to convert an integer zipcode to a char(5) string with leading zeros without incurring these validation warnings?
TIA

Type Cast Error Converting From Integer To String
Oct 30, 2007I am attempting to convert an integer value to a string using the Derived Column transformation with the following expression on the field:
(DT_STR,10,1252)prod_id
prod_id is an integer. I was able to do this before however, in the past couple of days, this has failed with the following error:
"An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast."
To my knowledge, I have not changed anything about this particular data flow within the past couple of days. I have verified that the value is coming in as an integer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
DB Design :: Convert Integer Date (MMDDYY) And Integer Time (HHMMSS) To DateTime Format?
Jul 20, 2015Working 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.

How Would I Send A String Array As A Integer Array?
Jun 25, 2007I have a stored procedure that has a paramter that accepts a string of values. At the user interface, I use a StringBuilder to concatenate the values (2,4,34,35,etc.) I would send these value to the stored procedure. The problem is that the stored procedure doesn't allow it to be query with the parameter because the Fieldname, "Officer_UID" is an integer data type, which can't be query against parameter string type.
What would I need to do to convert it to an Integer array?
@OfficerIDs as varchar(200)
Select Officer_UID From Officers Where Officer_UID in (@OfficerIDs)
Thanks

SQL String Function Help
Mar 13, 2006Here is the scenario.
I have a 10 position varchar field that holds a project number. The project number is in the form yy-nnn... where yy is the current year (06) and nnn is a sequential number. The project number is displayed on a data entry form so that the next record has the next sequential number.
So when the data entry form first opens the project number field has 06-1 after that record is entered the form is cleared and reinitialized and the project number now shows 06-2. If the form is closed and then reopened the project number would still show 06-2 if that previous record was not entered and 06-3 if it was.
The way I am going about getting the next sequential number is the following:
SELECT MAX(RIGHT(ERFNumber, LEN(ERFNumber)-3)) AS MaxERFNumber From Table1
This approach is working fantastic until record 06-9 is entered. The above line does determine that 06-9 is the MAX record and then creates a record 06-10 but every subsequent time a record is attempted it still thinks 06-9 is the MAX value of the above statement.
I am assuming that since the field is defined as a varchar the MAX function is applying character logic versus numeric logic thus the 9 being treated as the MAX value.
Is there an SQL function that can change the result of RIGHT(ERFNumber, LEN(ERFNumber)-3) to a numeric value so that the MAX function will work correctly.
I know there are many other ways to do this but in the interest of time because the application is almost finished, changing this now is going to be a major undertaking.
Any help or guidence would be greatly appreciated.

String Function - InStr
Dec 11, 2002In VB there is InStr, in Excel you have SEARCH. what function can i use to search a string for a specific string. ie: how can i find where a space is in someones name?
our database has a table that is used for security. it contains a user code, user name and passcode. i need to split the username (currently forename and surname in same field) into two, around the space.
in VB i would write something like
strFName = left(<usernamefield>,InStr(1,<usernamefield>," ")-1)
to get the forename and similar to get the surname. how can i do this in SQL so that a view will supply the data apprpriately?
one of the reasons i want to do this is so that i can sort the users by surname! another is so that i can give options on their usercode - a combination of forename initial and 2 characters from surname.
any help welcomed.
