I have a DB named zCIFRecord with a column named CIFUpdateDate which is of datatype varchar. The data is a date MM/DD/YYYY 01/30/2008, this is al that is in this column. I can search this colum for individual dates and for a range of dates. My problem is with a range of dates that is not within the same year, such as;
SELECT [CIFPan]
,[CIFMemNum]
,[CIFLName]
,[CIFFName]
FROM [FutureSoft].[dbo].[zCIFRecord]
WHERE [CIFUpdateDate] between '12/01/2007' and '01/30/2008'
will return nothing because it seems to only search on the 12 then the 01 then the 2008. this search can be performed properly on dates within the same year such as;
SELECT [CIFPan]
,[CIFMemNum]
,[CIFLName]
,[CIFFName]
FROM [FutureSoft].[dbo].[zCIFRecord]
WHERE [CIFUpdateDate] between '01/01/2008' and '01/30/2008'
will return the proper values because now all the numbers are in correct order. How can i create a search that lets me perform the first query as well as the second query. I tried to convert to a float but you cant convert a varchar to a float.
I am doing a search on a column of type varchar, the columns all contain dates in the future. When i perform a query
SELECT [CIFPan]
,[CIFMemNum]
,[CIFLName]
,[CIFFName]
,[CIFExpDate]
FROM [FutureSoft].[dbo].[zCIFRecord]
WHERE CAST([CIFExpDate] AS smalldatetime) between '12/01/2000' and '01/30/2015'
I get error:
Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting character string to smalldatetime data type.
I can use this same query on an exactly same other field that contains dates in the past. Is there some kind of limitation on the dates as far as them being in the future or past?
I need to migrate from a DB with a column containing dates as varchar to a new DB which will have a column with the same content as the source DB but in datetime format.
I have tried to use the cast function but i always get a message saying that the conversion result in an out of range error.
I inserted a record in table on DB created on SQLServer 2005 and found out that the one of the column values is shown as '??????' instead of showing the encrypted value that I sent with the insert statement.3
............................ Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this?

I am unable to get FTS working where the column to be searched is type varchar(MAX) or Text. I can get this to work if my column to be indexed is some statically assigned array size such as varchar(1000).
For instance this works, and will return all applicable results.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestHtml](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[PageText] [varchar](1000) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_TestHtml] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
SELECT * FROM TestHTML WHERE Contains(PageText, @searchterm);
And this does not. It returns zero results what so ever.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestHtml](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[PageText] [varchar](MAX) NOT NULL,

Could someone please tell me what I need to do to enable FTS on varchar(MAX) or Text columns?
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 have a varchar column which containd comma delimited values like Rec# Fruits 1 Apple, Peach, Strawberry 2 Orange, Mango 3 Banana, Grape ...........
Now i have to add search facility so that a user could search for more than 1 fruit at a time. I have a Stored Procedure which returns records from this table. that SP has a Parameter @SearchFruit Varchar(500) and the user could pass in values like 'Apple, Mango' to this parameter.
Now how should i write the SQL so that i get back the records Rec# 1 & 2 since apple is there in 1st record and mango is there in the 2nd ??
I know if a put the comma delimited values as individual records in a temporary table and also do the same for the parameter values then i can get the desired results. But i want to avoid doing that. Any other way ?

I have a strange problem that I haven't dealt with before.
I need to execute a piece of code based on date ranges. If the date range is:
Scenario 1:between 02/28 (Feb 28) and 07/31 (July 31) do x ----------------------------------------------------------- Scenario 2:between 08/01 (Aug 1) and 01/31 (Jan 31) do y
Can anyone help me with this code. I am having a SCD (Stupid Coder Day) and can't seem to do anything that is scalable - like accounting for leap years (Feb issue) and the fact that Scenario # 2 above is between 2 different calender years.

I am trying to automate a report. The report is supposed to generate a result that will differ based on the date ranges going into the future. E.g.
[1]. If the run date of the report is between '2/1/20xx' and '7/31/20xx' display <ABC> or
[2]. If the run date of the report is between '8/1/20xx' and '1/31/20xx' display <PQR>
In example # 2. I am moving from one year to the next (July to Dec and the one extra month of Jan). So for example, if the guy runs the report between August of 2008 and January of 2009, display <PQR>.
How do I achieve both # 1 & 2 above in a code? Does this explain better.
I have a customer who wants to SELECT records based on a partial match in atext field. For example, in a list of telephone numbers they want to searchfor all records that contain the digits '777' in any part of the string. Howdo I formulate such a query?Many thanks.
I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error: [OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available.

Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?
Hi guys I need immediate help with a query that I am trying to write. I want to sum the values in a query but the field has a type of varchar and it has decimal numbers too. So if I do the query something like that, that converts the field to int, I get the error message. I tried converting it into real or float but I get error message on that too. I need help with adding the calculatedValues and getting there sum. I would appreciate any help with that.
Thanks -Sarah Select SUM(Convert(int, calculatedValue)) from monitor.dbo.monHistory where LocalTimeWithoutDst > '8/26/06' and LocalTimeWithoutDst < '8/28/06'

I have a varchar field which holds IDs like (1, 3, 5, 19, 23) when I order it, i get it ordered in ASCII order like (1, 19, 23, 3, 5) rather than (1, 3, 5, 19, 23) Even if I convert it to int, I won't be able to order it.
is there any way I can order a varchar field numerically?
I write using the SQL ODBC driver from software into a SLQ table called UPSSHIPMENT the format is as followed: JobNumber varchar 50 Weight real 4 FreightCost varchar 8 TrackingNumber varchar 50 Shipmethod varchar 50 VOIDID varchar 3
I then have a trigger set to update the PACKAGE table as followed CREATE TRIGGER [UPS] ON dbo.UPSSHIPMENT FOR INSERT
AS

UPDATE PACKAGE SET WEIGHT = '', FREIGHTCOST = '0.00', TRACKINGNUMBER = '', COMMENTS = 'UPS VOID' FROM PACKAGE INNER JOIN inserted on PACKAGE.JOBNUMBER = inserted.JOBNUMBER WHERE inserted.VOIDID = 'Y'
END
The format of the PACKAGE table is as followed Jobnumber varchar 50 FreightCost money 8 TrackingNumber varchar 50 Comments varchar 2000 Weight real 4

How do you use the convert function to change the data before the update? Thank You! :mad:
I am parsing a documnet and i am grabbing that document into a variable of datatype varchar. The document contains more than 8k(upto 30k characters) characters. So how can I handle this situation.How can I get that document into my local varchar variable.
declare @found int; set @found = 'select sid from StickyContent where StickyId='+0+' and UserId='+171 exec (@found) delete from StickyContent where sid = @found
I need to pass this statement from my UI i.e in a single query. I am getting this error.
"Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'select sid from StickyContent where StickyId=' to data type int. "
Current development setup: Visual Studio 2005 (C# language), SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I am at this point changing some of my application. It stores a lot of information for times of trains. I decode a file which is text based and my times are stored in varchar(4) columns with the format "HHmm".
I am now at a stage where I need to add values to these times and perform a search based on two time values (a minimum time and maximum time).
I really need to be able to add another varchar(4) value to the times stored in my database (also varchar(4) - may look at this again in future). I have absolutely no interest in storing seconds, modifying the database to include the time colon, nor am I interested in the date portion of a time string, only the 4 digits representing the hours and minutes.
Can this be done easily in SQL server? For example:
varchar(4) of 0445 + varchar(4) of 0027 should result in the time 0512.
Similarly a varchar(4) of 2358 + varchar(4) of 0015 should result in the time 0013.
