View 2 RepliesThe transaction_date is datetime and date1 is nvarchar.
When I run the script:
Insert into payment(transaction_date)
Select convert (datetime, date1) from dep01

So as the subject says, I have a few fields that are nvarchar but hold date information. Most of these fields I have been able to move to datetime easiliy enough, simply by going into edit mode for the table and converting the fields to datetime. But 1 field is giving me problems I keep getting this error.
quote:- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
The statement has been terminated.
I really dont know why I'm getting this error, but I"m assuming it may have to be something like one of the records may not be in date format. But I don't know if this is the case and I don't know how to locate where my problem is coming from.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hello, I would appreciate any suggestions
I've got a datetime field that I'd like to store as just the date without the time component, but still to keep it defined as a datetime field. I ran this update statement but this conversion isn't working. Conversion to char gives me what I want but I need to keep the field as a date datatype if possible.
Thanks :)
update
<table>
set
<column>=convert(datetime,convert(char(10),hire_date,101)) )
I have a very strange situation. I've increased the size of an NVARCHAR field from 8 to 9 in a database table. The format of the data that I enter will either be an 8 character field (123456-8) or a 9 character field (1234567-9). The '-' is critical.
It used to only accept the 8 character version, but after increasing the field size, if I try to insert the 9 character field version, it gets truncated after the '-', as though it's still only allowing 8 characters. But that only occurs when I include the '-' or other such characters like '#'. If I try to insert 1234567a9, it works. The following explains the outcomes:
Inserted Value -> Result in table
123456-8 -> 123456-8 *Correct
1234567-9 -> 1234567- *Wrong
123456789 -> 123456789 *Correct
1234567#9 -> 1234567# *Wrong
1234567a9 -> 1234567a9 *Correct
Why is it that characters such as '-' and '#' are truncating the value, but only if the string is 9 chars long?
I'm currently using a direct t-sql insert statement in SQLExpress. The field is a simple NVARCHAR(9) field.
Hi,
Can someone please explain to me how the datapages in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 works. The pages are supposed to be 8K, that is 8192 bytes of which only 8060 are accessible for data storage (due to overhead).
Now, I currently have a table containing 8 fields. Two of these fields are varchar and should be converted to nvarchar. One of the varchar fields is limited to 255 characters and the other to 4000 characters. When I convert the 255 characters field to nvarchar it works just fine, but when I want to convert the 4000 characters field I get an error from MS SQL saying that it gets to big. Is the error only for the 4000 characters field (which growths to 8000 bytes when using nvarchar instead of varchar) or must the whole table fit into one datapage?
Could a blob maybe solve my problem, or will I face new problems when storing unicode characters in a blob?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I need to transfer data from an image type column to a nvarchar(max) column. Is there a specific function that i could use to do this coversion..
Thanks,
i have the following code:
SELECT Quantity
FROM dbo.BNYForwardsTaxLotsForwards
WHERE investmentType ='Forward Cash'
and Quantity < 0
And I get the following error Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1..Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '-12213949.9' to data type int.
One of my clients decided to put letters into their customers' account numbers. They have a numbering scheme where all temporary accounts have a letter in the account OR are numbered greater than 33000, and all permanent accounts are all digits and less than or equal to 33000. all primary accounts have a NumberSuffix of 000.
Now i am tasked with retrieving all primary, non-temp accounts. I cannot simply do WHERE Number <= 33000 because when it gets to an account containing a letter like "00A01", it craps out and says "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '00A01' to data type int."
So decided to run a filtering query first to filter out all accounts with letters, and then from that dataset select all accounts <=33000.
WITH members (FirstName, LastName, Number, NumberSuffix) AS
(
SELECT
dbo.Entity.FirstName,
dbo.Entity.LastName,
dbo.Entity.Number,
dbo.Entity.NumberSuffix
FROM
dbo.Entity
WHERE
NumberSuffix = 000 AND
Number NOT LIKE '%A%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%B%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%C%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%D%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%E%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%F%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%G%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%H%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%I%' AND
Number NOT LIKE '%J%'
)
SELECT *
FROM
members
WHERE
Number <= 33000
ORDER BY
Number
when i do this, i get the same error for some reason. Yet when i execute this at the end instead:
SELECT *
FROM
members
WHERE
Number LIKE '%A%'
ORDER BY
Number
i get an empty set (meaning it actually does get filtered).
but somehow it still able to participate in a range comparison?
WHY??
thanks,
Leon

I am new to SQL and trying my hand at what I thought would be a simple query to bring back the loan products that are not HMDA reportable - hence the NOT IN and I get an error message after adding the NOT IN...I have read a lot of responses to the issue of an error message of 'Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value' to try and solve the error - and have had no luck. Before I throw my laptop out the window..Here is the error message along with what I thought was a simple query; Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '80/10/10' to data type int.Here is the query;

Exception in one of the stored procs:
Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value to datatype int. After moving database from 2000 to 2005.
Using backup and restore.
Note I had the same issue after restoring the production database on my local server SQL2000->SQL2000.
The problem was solved by restoring master and msdb from the production. But I can't do this on the SQL2005.
This is not a collation issue as I have ensured collation is the same on all databases including the system ones.
The database in question makes extensive use of user defined data types (Which I have recreated on the destination server).
Can anyone please help?

I have created a new SQL dB and imported a table from Access to SQL.
my date columns in Access have been imported as nvarchar(50).
all dates are in the format dd/mm/yyyy.And there is no bad data
My problem is that in the table design of my new SQL Table, if I change the datatype from nvarchar(50) to datetime I get the error "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime"
I know this is telling me that there is a problem with the format of some of the dates but all my dates are defo dd/mm/yyyy ,none of the data has format mm/dd/yyyy ie a 13th month.I know this because I cut the data down to just 2 pieces of data.
can someone help me get the format into datetime please

Hi,
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.
Hello,
I have a column that is a currently set as nvarchar(50) and is called DateEmployed.
There are over a hundred rows that contain dates which is in nvarchar format.
This column now needs to be changed to a DateTime datatype. (Don't ask me it was not set
to a dateTime when this was first designed - I wasn't here)
However, I have to change this column to a DateTime without destroying the data.
Is there any easy way to write some script or use studio management to change this.
Currently the data is displayed like this in this column dd/MM/yyyy i.e. 25/8/2007.
The method I am using to try and change this is by going to studio management clicking
modify on the column and changing the datatype from a nvarchar(50) to a DateTime.
I get this following error message:
- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
The statement has been terminated.
Any suggestions would be most grateful,
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
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?
My stored procedure look like this:
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
set NOCOUNT ON

I am trying to convert a column (nvarchar) to date time.
Here is an example of some values:
20110905
20110901
20111003
As expected, I received the following error: 'Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.'
However, I am unsure how I should approach updating the whole column. I would like the format to be '103'.
