Hi, I need to convert the values entered into textboxes by the users before I can insert into db.
have tried the following.
Dim eventnum As string 'tried using integer makes no difference what i declare the variable as
eventnum = Convert.ToInt32(txteventnum.Text)
This value needs to be inserted into the field event_number wich is datatype int
I get the following error message when I try to insert.
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'eventnum' to data type int.
Description: An

I'm having an issue using the data conversion task and trying to convert from a negative integer that is bounded by brackets e.g, (1) for -1. I keep getting an error that the value cannot be converted although I've tried all signed integer types.
I am taking a five-digit zipcode from a database where it is stored as an int, and I would like to store it as a char(5).
I set my OLE DB source to pull from a proc as:
Code Snippet
SELECT
cust.CustomerID as CustomerID, case
when cust.Zip > 99999 then Null when cust.Zip < 0 then Null else REPLICATE('0',5 - LEN(cast(cust.Zip as varchar(5))))
+ cast(cust.Zip as varchar(5)) end as CustomerZip
However, when I do that, SSIS sees the external column as a string of length 8000, and insists on giving me a truncation warning on validation.
I also tried bringing the Zip field in as an int and doing a data conversion in the SSIS data stream. This worked great until I added a Derived Column transform to do the REPLICATE function as above to add leading zeros to the zip code. Once I did that, SSIS decided that there was a chance of truncation again and started with the truncation warnings.
BTW - I don't think the TRIM() function is really necessary in the above, but I tried it out of desperation and it made no difference.
This is really starting to drive me nuts. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to convert an integer zipcode to a char(5) string with leading zeros without incurring these validation warnings?
I am attempting to convert an integer value to a string using the Derived Column transformation with the following expression on the field: (DT_STR,10,1252)prod_id
prod_id is an integer. I was able to do this before however, in the past couple of days, this has failed with the following error: "An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast."
To my knowledge, I have not changed anything about this particular data flow within the past couple of days. I have verified that the value is coming in as an integer.
I need to take a temporary table that has various times stored in a text field (4:30 pm, 11:00 am, 5:30 pm, etc.), convert it to miltary time then cast it as an integer with an update statement kind of like:
Update myTable set MovieTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(5),GETDATE(),108), ':', '')
how this can be done while my temp table is in session?
Hi All,How do you convert int value to datetime datatype in sql servere.g 900mins to hh:mm:ssRegardsOla*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
Hi, I'm tring to come up with a query to get the difference between two dates, and select all the records whose difference is greater then some number, but it keeps failing. Thanks! Query SELECT Convert(int, DATEDIFF(D, timestamp, getdate())) AS [Days Old]FROM tblProductsWHERE 'Days Old' > 7 Error Message: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'Days Old' to data type int.
I need help with conversion type. I'm using Visual Basic 6.0 as my frontend and SQL Server 2000 as my backend. There has been existing data in the database. I would like to know how to convert an integer to datetime format. For example:
This is the actual value from the database.
1087912290 1087912327
I'd like to know how to convert it datetime format.
Hi all,I have a problem converting datetime to integer (and than back todatetime).Depending whether the time is AM or PM, same date is converted to twodifferent integer representations, which holds as true on reversalback to datetime.AM Example:declare @DI integer; declare @DD datetimeset @DI = cast(cast('3/12/2003 11:34:02 AM' as datetime) as integer)set @DD = cast (@DI as datetime)print @DI; print @DDResult:37690Mar 12 2003 12:00AMPM Example:declare @DI integer; declare @DD datetimeset @DI = cast(cast('3/12/2003 11:34:02 PM' as datetime) as integer)set @DD = cast (@DI as datetime)print @DI; print @DDResult:37691Mar 13 2003 12:00AMNow, this is not a big problem if I knew that this is how it issupposed to work. Is this how SQL Server is supposed to work?
We have inherited an appointments database that has a table tblAppointments
Within this table there are 2 fields, ApptFrom & ApptTo, these are the appointment start & finish times.
My problem is, the values in these fields are held as integers ranging from 0 - 288. I have worked out the scale for the integers, it is based on a 24hr clock with each segment representing 5mins
Eg: 0 = 0:00
12 = 1.00
24 = 2.00
36 = 3.00
€¦
...
288 = 24:00
What I need is a piece of T_SQL that will translate these into times that can be read by a normal user
So, say I have a record with an ApptFrom = 36 & ApptTo = 42, I need to be able to show these as ApptFrom = 3.00 & ApptTo = 3.30
hello all,is there a quick way to convert a zipcode of type int, to a 5 characterchar value ?e.g.declare @zip intdeclare @czip char(5)select @zip = 2109select @czip = convert(char, @zip)select @czipbut with @czip = 02109 instead of 2109 ?thanks in advance
As a DBA, I am working on a project where an ETL process(SSIS) takes a long time to aggregate and process the raw data.
I figured out few things where the package selects the data from my biggest 200 GB unpartitioned table which has a datekey column but the package converts its each row to an integer value leading to massive scans and high CPU.
Example: the package passed two values 20140714 and 4 which means it wants to grab data from my biggest table which belongs between 20140714 04:00:00 and 20140714 05:00:00.
It leads to massive implicit conversions and I am trying to change this.
To minimize the number of changes, what I am trying to do is to convert 20140714 and 4 to a datetime format variable.
Select Convert(DATETIME, LEFT(20170714, 8)) which gives me a date value but I am stuck at appending time(HH:00:00) to it.
Hi folks, I'm trying to import data from a text file (UnicodeData.txt) into an SQL table. Some of the fields are unicode values (16 bits) expressed as four hexidecimal digits. I've succeeded in importing the data as character strings, but I have not found a way to convert them into numbers. (They could be stored as int or nchar.) I've tried convert(binary/int/whatever, string); E.g. select convert(int, '0x1111') from import_unicode gives the error Syntax error converting the varchar value '0x1111' to a column of data type int.
I could write code to strip off one character at a time, convert the hex digit to a decimal value, shift left, etc., but I find it hard to believe that's the best way.
Any help is appreciated. Please email answer to lars_huttar@sil.org as I don't read this board.

We have account numbers that are string values, looking like: "01.02.02.00.0040.000.000".
We need to parse individual segments and pull out a range of values treating the segment like an integer. For example we would like all accounts that have the fifth segment ranging in values from .0040. through .0060. inclusive.
We've been trying to do something with the like clause: LIKE '__.__.__.__.[0-0][0-0][4-6][0-0]'.
We want 40 through 60 but we're getting 40, 50, and 60. If we change the last bracket to [0-9] we get 40 through 69.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to either fix our like clause or another approach?
I want to convert a string into an interger so that my parameter can get one value, and have a seperate matrix list the value before the value selected.
My parameter is year. The user picks the year. And i want the crashcounts for the year displayed in the matrix. Then i have another matrix with a dataset similiar. I want this seperate Matrix/Dataset to display the previous year.
SO if the user selects 2004 from the dropdown. 2004 is displayed in the first matrix, and 2003 is displayed in the second matrix. The year attribute is in string format, and i cant change it in the cube. So i was told it could be converted in reporting services. with this
I have a User Defined Function in my SQL Server 2000 database which takes a string and adds an integer quantity to it. The function basically takes the string (string because of first character and spaces) and adds an integer to it creating a new number (starting number and ending number concept).If I pass in a string that has a letter for the first character, it works fine. However, if the first character is an integer it trims out all 0s and whitespace and ruins the necessary formatting. Note, the formatting is always the same - x xxx xxxx xx. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.Example:D 499 8900 01 plus a Quantity of 10 returns D 499 89000 11 which is perfect.However,0 076 0000 03 plus a Quantity of 1 returns 764 764 (it should be 0 076 0000 04)------------------------------------CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[NEW_End_NR2]( @OldStr as char(20), @Quantity int )RETURNS @NewNR_Tbl TABLE (New_EndNr char(20) primary key)AS BEGIN DECLARE @NewStr char(20) DECLARE @addNr integerBEGIN Set @addNr = @Quantity set @NewStr = (select REPLACE(@OldStr,left(@OldStr, 1),'')) set @NewStr = (select REPLACE(@NewStr,' ', '')) + @addNr set @NewStr = (SELECT left(@OldStr, 1) + SPACE(1) + left(@NewStr,3) + SPACE(1) + left(REPLACE(@NewStr, left(@NewStr,3), ''), 4) + SPACE(1) + left(REPLACE(@NewStr, left(@NewStr,7), ''), 3)) BEGIN INSERT INTO @NewNR_Tbl (New_EndNr) VALUES(@NewStr) END END RETURNEND

Hi,We have stored proc name proc_test(str nvarchar(30)). So far this prochas been invoked from a .NET application assuming that only Englishcharacter strings will be passed to it. The calls are likeproc_test('XYZ')We now have a requirement for passing Chinese strings as well. Ratherthan changing the calls throughout the application, we would like tohandle it in the stored procedure so that it treats the string as aunicode string. Can we apply some function to the parameter to convertit to unicode so that we don't have to call with an N prefixed to thestring?Thanks,Yash
I have a table with an integer field (contains test values like 2, 7,8,9,12,..) that I want to convert to an Identity field. How can this be done in t-sql?
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
  dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
  * That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.
I have a fixed-width flat file that I'm importing to a SQL table in a data flow task. The first field is an ID field, of length 12, that I'm told I can assume is an INT datatype. Obviously, it's a little silly to shove an integer that can be a max of 10 digits into a 12 digit field... but that's my situation.
I set the columns on the flat file connection manager to be inputColumnWidth of 12, and datatype of DT_I4. When I try to run the package, I get the error (understandably): The data conversion for column "ID" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
What are my options here? I'm going to assume that even though the width is 12 characters, only an integer will appear in those spaces. I attempted to use a derived column and a type cast, but to no avail. Help would be appreciated... thanks!
Hi guys,I'm currently trying to insert image into my SQL db. I have tried a number of methods that were posted online, and so far with no luck.My current code reads: Dim conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection() conn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MainDBConnection").ToString conn.Open() Dim cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SP_SAVEImage", conn) cmd.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim sImageName As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageName", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) sImageName.Value = sImageName Dim sImageType As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageType", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) sImageType.Value = fileType Dim sImageData As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageData", Data.SqlDbType.Image, uploadedFile.Length) sImageData.Value = uploadedFile cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageName) cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageType) cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageData) Dim reader1 As Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader reader1 = cmd.ExecuteReaderRunning through debug, everything runs up until the last line, where an error is caught saying : Failed to convert parameter value from a SqlParameter to a String I reckon it's to do with the input sImageData being input as a byte array - but I can't seem to find a way around it. Any help greatly appreciated!!
I have been working on this all day and cannot find an answer I need to convert a string to an object, a string to object of type Command Is there anyway to do this? Thank you all in advance!!!!!!!
I am writing a stored procedure that generates a computername for new workstations. Our naming standards, based on terminal ID's, are as follows: 'R' + X + Y + ZZZ, where 'R' is the letter 'R', X is a hex digit indication a locatoin, Y is a hex digit indicating business line, and ZZZ is a hexadecimal sequential number assigned within each location/busines line, for up to 4096. (This isn't a perfect naming standard, but is an improvement over the one that preceded it and is a requirement for our legacy applications). I can do everything fine, and calculate the sequential number using an int. Once I have the new number, I am trying to convert the integer to a varbinary, then convert that to a string, then use RIGHT to get the rightmost three characters of the hex string. set @SEQNUM = 4095 set @HEXSEQNUM = CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM) PRINT CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM) -- displays 0x00000FFE etc. PRINT 'HEXSEQNUM ' + @HEXSEQNUM -- displays 'HEXSEQNUM'
Hello,I try to convert a pseudo datetime string into a date. In Oracle I can doto_date( MyDate, 'yyyymmddhh24miss' ); how I can do this with MS SQL ?thanks and regardsMark
I get the following error when I do a CONVERT(UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, 'guid'), where 'guid' is a properly formatted GUID created in VS2005, inside my INSERT statement:
The data was truncated while converting from one data type to another. [ Name of function(if known) = ]
The column I am inserting into has a datatype of uniqueIdentifier.
SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN [PO Date] BETWEEN CONVERT(Datetime, @FY + '/04/01') AND CONVERT(Datetime, @FY -1 + '/03/31') THEN Quantity ELSE 0 END) AS Expr1, [Item No_] FROM table A
I am trying to write a function to convert a hex string to binary. I would like it in a function so I can use it on aggregate data in queries (instead of having to cursor through the data). So, I write my function:
CREATE FUNCTION HexToBinary (@hexstring char(16)) RETURNS binary(8) AS BEGIN declare @b binary(8) ,@sql nvarchar(255)
SET @sql = N'SET @b = 0x' + @hexstring EXEC sp_executesql @sql,N'@b binary(8) out',@b output RETURN @b END
Then, I try to call my function:
SELECT HexToBinary('E0')
...and I get:
Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Line 1 'HexToBinary' is not a recognized built-in function name.
However, I can get it to work if I use a slightly different syntax:
declare @b binary(8) exec @b = HexToBinary 'E0' select @bAny thoughts as to what might be going on? Obviously, the lower syntax does not help me call this function in queries, which is really my goal.
