Hi,
How I can convert text '07012003' into datetime ?.
If I am using below format and getting the error 'the conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value'
select convert(smalldatetime,'07012003')
Any advice please?.
Thanks,

I have a data type float with a value of 10000487930 that I'm trying to insert into a data type nvarchar and am getting the result of '1.00005e+010'. I've tried cast(field as nvarchar) however this is not working. What might fix this? I cannot change the insert table data type.
View 3 Replies View Relatedfor example:
SELECT CAST(CAST(getdate() AS datetime) AS float)
how can i convert the return select value to nvarchar????
I need to sort by an ntext field, but it won't let me do it.
However, if I cast the field as nvarchar(100), I can use ORDER BY on that.
Is there any reason that this is a bad idea? In my testing, ordering by a converted ntext field was actually *faster* than ordering by an nvarchar (same data in the fields).

How can I convert to be just 2721?
Hi guys, how are you? I was wondering how I do to convert int to nvarchar and vice versa?
Thank you very much.
Hi everyone.
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.
I have the following code:
INSERT INTO Reports_PI_Recent
SELECT TOP(13)* FROM Reports_PI
ORDER BY RecordKey desc
problem is that the data I am trying to insert is of the type nvarchar. eg: 06.50
I need it to be converted to type decimal (or float) before it is inserted in the new table.
Is there a way to do this within the SELECT TOP expression?
I'm new to SQL so please walk me through this step by step.
All the columns in my table have a data type of nvarchar, however, some of them need to be changed to decimals.
Here's an example of what my table (cicc.972file) looks like now
Account nvarchar(8) Balance nvarchar(8) Percent nvarchar(5)
45678935 459600 03500
78965215 005643 10000
and here's what I need it to look like
Account Number Balance Percent
45678935 4596.00 0.3500
78965215 56.43 1.0000
This seems like it should be ridiculously easy, but I keep running into road blocks. Like I said, this is just a sample from my table. My real table has 90 columns in it and about half of them need to be changed to either a dollar representation or a percent.
Thanks for you help!

I have imported a text file with various data into sql table. all these values have been imported as nvarchar. I need to convert these into Integer. the format of the values is 10length i.e. 0000000.00.
example of data:
0001028.99 - needs to be shown as 1028.99
222.00 - needs to be shown as 222.00
0000190.89 - needs to be shown as 190.89
2708.99 - needs to be shown as 2708.99
00000-50.99 - needs to be shown as -50.99
-109.79 - needs to be shown as -109.70
as you can see some of the values have leading zeros and some don't.
i have tried converting from nvarchar to int and i get the error cannot convert nvarchar to int, i believe it may be because the data contains negative values as well as positive values.
Is there a split function or position function which i can use to extract the data? or any other methods which i can use would be really helpful.
Thanks
HI All,
1)I have a question. I have a column in nvarchar format which is called close_date and is in the following format: 29.02.2008 ( example). I need to convert it to date format.I also add that data conversion not working as column apper blank on table. Do you have any idea?
2)Also the second problem is how to unzip the file stored on the shared drive in the package before uploading.
Any help much appreciated
I'm working with a horrible database! The field I'm having issues with is a negative number stored as a nvarchar, but it's not stored in a consistent format. I need to convert the field to a decimal (9,2) but I can't because of the negative sign.
Example:
Balance
00000000
0000-413
0000-913
00-10913
00009526
I don't even know where to start to convert this. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.
I need to always have a formatting of 999,999,999.00 in a column called PropertyMap9.
PropertyMap9 is always a nvarchar(max)
How do I SET a value using a CONVERT or CAST to accomplish this ?
Why does this give me a syntax error ? The PropertyMap7 set actually works and performs the calculation and sets the new value for that row, however the next line gives an error. I need all 3 columns PropertyMap9, 8, and 7 to always have the above formatting, while still maintaining the nvarchar(max) datatype in the column. HELP!
update PropertyMapValues
set PropertyMap7 = CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),CAST(PropertyMap8 AS money) - (CAST(PropertyMap9 AS money)),1)
set PropertyMap9 = CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),CAST(PropertyMap9 AS money))
END
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure UpdatePropertyMap7, Line 59
Incorrect syntax near '='.
Is there any way to convert Unicode (NVarchar) to Ascii (Varchar)?
If I just use cast , the result will become ???.
I have value with data type nvarchar:

000000042.00
000000065.17
000000000024
000000000.24
How can i convert to decimal and remove 0 infront? but those with 0.xx would not remove the 0 after the dote.

Hi all,
I spent about an hour searching the forums and the web but could not find a solution. Bob Bojanic, if you are around can you answer?
I have a DB that stores WW data for company names in a varchar
I don't have control over this DB, other than to pull data from it
I have an SSIS package that grabs WW data in a single pull using a system account
I have an Execute SQL task that runs a sproc to stage the data
I have a Data Flow Task that then copies the data to another server (where I need it)
The destination columns are nvarchar. The source columns are varchar.
Some countries (such as Korea and China) end up with ASCII gibberish (because of code page issues).
I have a solution that involves pulling the data, BCP the pulled data to a text file, then re-import with the correct code page, and delete the gibberish. BUT, I'd like to do this as part of the pull if possible (without any data duplication).
I've tried modifying the CodePage properties for both the Staging step (Execute SQL task running a sproc) and the Source & Dest columns for the Data Flow Task with no luck. Can anyone assist? Thanks much!

Hello.
My database stores the decimals in Spanish format; "," (comma) as decimal separator.
I need to convert decimal nvarchar values (with comma as decimal separator) as a decimal or int.
Any Case using CAST or CONVERT, For Decimal or Int gives me the following error:
Error converting data type varchar to numeric
Any knows how to resolve.
Or any knows any parameter or similar, to indicate to the Cast or Convert, that the decimal separator is a comma instead a dot.

I had this question for quite a long time.
It seems the latter one don't take any extra storage space than the previous one.
As long as the real string length is less than 10.
Is that mean the latter one not cost anything?
I once heard the different is when they are in memory. But not sure of it.
Can anyone explain it and provide some official reference on it?
Thank.
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

Hi All,
The storage reserverd for nvarchar(m) is 2*m+ 2 extra bytes.
I understood each character requires because it supports unicode format.
Why extra two bytes are required?

Hello,
What is the maximum lenght when using nvarchar(MAX)?
If I want to save a really long text, should be this the data type to use?
I am using SQL 2005.
Thanks,
Miguel
Does anyone know the formula to calcuate the space occupied by an nvarchar(max) column for the purposes of sizing a table?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it bad form to use nvarchar(MAX) in place of column types with specific lengths like nvarchar(50)? Are there performance issues? Because to me (a novice), it appears that I would save space by using nvarchar(MAX) everywhere.
Same question applies to varbinary(MAX) as well.
Thanks
Jim

I have an SSIS pkg, that gets data from Lotusnotes db and loads into SQL Server, using ODBC Driver for Notessql driver . I have a comments, field, in Lotusnotes which has comments>8000 chars in lotusnotes. Hence I created my destn SQL Table with datatype NVARCHAR(MAX) so that it can uplaod the comments that are >8000 chars.
However, every time I run the ssis pkg , the destn table is bringing only 250 chars ONLY in the comments field , and truncates the rest of the chars.
And I see the reason is because, on my ODBC Serttings for Lotusnotes, There is a section for NOTESSQL options
where the "Max length of text fields" set to 254. hence it brings only 254 chars into SQL.
However, If I increase that option "Max length of text fields" to 8000 or some higher number, the sssis package errors out on the datareader source itself, err is"
"The output column 'comments' has a length that is not valid.
Pl advise how can I load all the comments which are more than 8000 chars from lotus notes into SQL, AND KEEPING THE ODBC settings, the "Max length of text fields" TO 254 Only.
I have a scenario to sort on an nvarchar (50) field and I need to keep any changes to the sproc in the ORDER BY clause if possible. This field will contain strings such as...
abc-217c, abc-15a, abc-9a, abc-7b, abc-17ar, etc...
The issue I'm having is when the records are sorted, they are returned as...
abc-15a, abc-17ar, abc-217c, abc-7b, abc-9a,etc...ordering numerically on the first numeric character in the string ie, 1,1,2,7,9)
However, I need the numeric component to be treated as a whole number and order in this fashion...
abc-7b, abc-9a, abc-15a, abc-17ar, abc-217c (7,9,15,17,217, etc)
I feel pretty sure that this issue has come up before...can anybody provide a working example that would provide a simple(or not so simple) solution?
Hello, I have a column in my table that is a nvarchar.The information that we need to store in this column has exceeded the limit.Can we simply change the datatype to 'text' ? Will there be any issues that we might experience? Thank you in advance.

Hello all,
I'm trying to convert a nvarchar datatype to int
(ie:1234-56-78 to 12345678) . These values are primary keys in two tables. Both these tables have 3500 rows of this key type. I want to convert this to a int so I can make it a AutoNumber primary key so I can increment it. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it. Do I need to delete the dashes first some how? I fairly new to database adminstration, so any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
