Convert Varchar To Date

Nov 18, 2005

Hi

I have a varchar field with values like "Jun 13 1995 12:" I want to change the type of the field to Date and the format of the values to "mm/dd/yyyy".

If I change the type of the field in the design view to Date, SQL gives me an error saying that the type cannot be changed and data would be lost.

So I think changing the dates to the mm/dd/yyyy format first and then changing the field type from varchar to date would work.

Can someone please help me as how to do this.

Thanks

Varchar, Convert In Sql

Feb 21, 2008

I am trying to run this statement
Select Calims, ProCode From Inquiry Where ProCode Between 80000 and 89999

ProCode is a varchar but I am still checking a range on it.
It seem to work fine but then there is some invalid data entry in this column
for example 'abace' or '100i' so I get the error.
1) how I can exclude them out of my query.
Someone suggested the following but I dont understand how do achieve that. thanks

" However, there would appear to be different data types. If Value is a character
--based type then you may want to limit the search by first extracting numeric values
-- with something like ISNUMERIC(Value) = 1 and then converting them to numerics using
--the convert function - CONVERT(int, Value) BETWEEN 10000 and 20000."

Convert Varchar(12) To Binary(12)

May 31, 2007

I need help converting a varchar field to binary.

I have a Data Control Task that has a OLE DB Source and corresponding OLE DB Destination Data Flow Task. In the referenced source table there exists a field defined as a varchar(12), in the corresponding destination table it is defined as a binary(12). How do I perform this conversion?

I tried inserting a Data Conversion Task and assigning the new data type as byte stream[DT_BYTES] and a Length = 12, but this was a bust. Output test is as follows:

Error: 0xC020901C at DFT - Windows, OLE_SRC - Windows [1]: There was an error with output column "Payload" (40) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (12). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".

Can anyone help me out here?
