MS SQL Server :: Convert Nvarchar Values To Decimals

Convert Nvarchar Values To Integer

Mar 13, 2007

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

Convert Ntext To Nvarchar For ORDER BY?

Jan 22, 2005

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).

SQL Field Convert Nvarchar To Datetime

Dec 4, 2007

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.

Convert Negative Number Stored As Nvarchar

Feb 4, 2008

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!

Convert Column From NVARCHAR(MAX) To Money And Then Back Again.

Oct 8, 2007

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 '='.

Code Page Question (convert Squiggles To Korean And Chinese, Store In Nvarchar)

Jan 17, 2008

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!

Transact SQL :: Convert Certain Row Values To Next Column Values

Jul 9, 2015

I have a table with 2 columns and my source data looks like this..

PolicyNum   InsCode

1ABC12          1001
1ABC12          1002
1ABC12         1003
1ABC12         1004
1ABC12          1005

[Code] ....

My output should look like this..I need T-sql to get below output.

PolicyNum   InsCode1   InsCode2

1ABC12           1001       1005
1ABC12             1002       1006
1ABC12           1003       1004
1ABC20            1001       1005

[Code] ...

Basically it's converting certain row values to new column. Every PloicyNum will have 1001 to 1006 Fixed InsCode values as a group.

Rule-1: InsCode value 1001 should always mapped to 1005
          InsCode value 1002 should always mapped to 1006
           InsCode value 1003 should always mapped to 1004

Rule-2: For a policyNum, If any Inscode value is missed from the group values 1001 to 1006, still need to mapped with corresponding values as shown in Rule-1

In the above sample data..

for PolicyNum - 1ABC20 , group values 1003,1006 are missing
for PolicyNum - 1ABC25 , group values 1002,1003,1004,1005,1006 are missing

Create Table sampleDate (PolicyNum varchar(10) not null, InsCode Varchar(4) not null)
Insert into Sample Date(PolicyNum, InsCode) Values ('1ABC12','1001')

Insert into Sample Date(PolicyNum, InsCode) Values ('1ABC12','1002')
Insert into Sample Date(PolicyNum, InsCode) Values ('1ABC12','1003')

[Code] ....

NULL Values To Sequential Number (The Field Is Nvarchar Datatype)

Jun 16, 2012

Ok I have upgraded my works database from a poorly designed Access database to a SQL database. The previous system allowed NULL values and duplicates to be inserted into a field that should NOT ALLOW NULL Values or duplicates. Therefore, this issue has now been moved across to my new system as I cannot set these constraints on the field that has multiple NULL values.

My solution would be to use a sequential operator, so whatever = NULL would be changed to a sequential number that us as administrators would know was a bogus number starting at something like = 999999900 counting up from that. There are only 250 records that would require updating.

To make things more interesting this field is not a integer type, its a Nvarchar type as its a Hardware ID. Both numerical and characters are require.

SQL 2005 Bug? Cannot Create Full Text Index For VARBINARY Column That's Populated With Converted NVARCHAR Values

Jul 11, 2007

Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I have a table I'm trying to apply a full text catalog to, however no results are ever returned due to the text column being cataloged being of varbinary(max) that's being populated from a converted nvarchar(max) value - I've narrowed it down to this specifically, populating with non nvarchar text seems to work fine.To re-create the problem quickly...If I populate the column viaCONVERT(varbinary(max), 'test text')then there is no problem, I get results as expected.However if I populate the column viaCONVERT(varbinary(max), CAST('test text' as nvarchar(max)))no results are ever returned.Is this a bug with SQL Server 2005 Full Text Indexing? I'm happily creating full text catalogs when an nvarchar is not getting converted into a varbinary.I'm setting the Document Type column to '.html' (I've tried changing this to '.txt' in case it was a fault with the html ifilter but the problem persists so I believe I can rule this out).The reason I need to convert an nvarchar to varbinary is that the table holds multi-lingual text and I'm adding a html meta tag <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES"> to the beginning in order for the full text indexing word breaker to select the correct language to catalog the text with. The aim being to provide more relevant searches in users native languages (I've read a few articles that describe this technique, but it's the first time I've tried to apply it).Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.

INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CAST('<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 2' AS NVARCHAR(MAX))), '.html')
INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CAST('<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 3' AS NVARCHAR(MAX))), '.html')

-- Create the full text catalog
sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
GO
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG TEST AS DEFAULT
GO
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON TestTable (varbinarycol TYPE COLUMN documentExtension LANGUAGE 1033)
KEY INDEX tablePK
GO

-- NOTE: You might need to give the catalog a chance to build before running the script below.

-- Now do a search that SHOULD RETURN 3 ROWS of data, but ONLY 1 ROW IS RETURNED
SELECT CAST(varbinarycol AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) FROM TestTable WHERE CONTAINS(varbinarycol, 'test')

Convert Null Values To 0

Aug 26, 2007

Hi

I've got a view which returns Null values due to an left outer join. The field which sometimes returns Nulls is called ClientCount. I want to create a new field which displays the value of ClientCount if ClientCount is not null and 0 if it is null.

In MS Access I use the following: IIF([ClientCount] Is Null,0,[ClientCount])
This does not seem to work in MS SQL. Is there some equivalent function I could use?

Thanks

Save Me From A CURSOR. Flag Values That Won't Convert.

Dec 10, 2007

Hey all:

Right now I have a cursor that makes me want to puke. This is the last cursor in my current project and I want to replace it with a much faster set based operation.

Here is the problem. I have a table with say 1-3 million records. There are fields that get loaded in with date information. These fields are varchar because the date information could very well be mangled data that needs to be reviewed by a user. What I need is to go through these varchar fields and flag the values that cannot convert to smalldatetime.

I have another table that houses the primary key and the field of the record that cannot convert.

Essentially, I have a series of filters that run and flag using set based stored procedures. If there is a record that gets through that contains a value that cannot be converted, I have a cursor that steps through the data and attempts to convert the value. If it is able to be converted, then it continues on until it finds the value that is holding up the conversion.

I guess if I can run a query that will return all records that can convert for the field (or can't convert) I'd be all set. Any help here is appreciated.

--Thanks--

How To Convert UTC Based Datetime Values To Local Setting?

Sep 11, 2007

Hello:

I've recently discovered the MS CRM 3.0 stamps any datetime field in SQL as UTC (aka GMT). Even though the end user may select 12:00 noon on the CRM gui interface, the datetime is stamped in SQL as 16:00 (I'm in EST).

So, is there an easy way to read the 16:00 back to local EST, taking into account daylightsavings (DST)? Apparently in VB or C# this conversion is a trivial matter of using ToLocalTime(), but I don't believe SQL 2005 has such a convenient function.

I'm currently building a SQL view that I wish to use to support multiple reports, and it would be ideal for the view to translate the UTC datetime fields (even if via a user-defined function) to EST rather than coding every report or custom app to translate the UTC.

Any suggestions or links to code will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Pete
