CAST Statement

Feb 28, 2006

It must be something I'm overlooking but I keep getting an error message that this statement can't parse.

UPDATE product SET supplier = LEFT(supplier,LEN(supplier-4)) + CAST( '2100' AS varchar(4)) WHERE actualid = 'IS2100-CO2-CO2-0-4-I'

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Case Statement Using Cast

Jan 28, 2007

Hi guys,

The value in the field ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNTKEY is something like: '3130005'

I need to read the characters from position 4 to 6. If the value of that Substring is equal to the VALUE Zero then write "Zero".

In the code below, the first "case" is working nice, but the second (red one) is getting ERROR.

Please Help.

"SELECT ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNTKEY," _
& " Case When SUBSTRING(ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNTKEY, 4, 3)= '000' then 'Zero'" _
& " Case When CAST(SUBSTRING(ACCOUNTS.ACCOUNTKEY, 4, 3) as int) =0 then 'Zero'" _
& " Else 'Unknown'" _
& " End " _
& "AS 'Finding Zero' "
Thanks in advance,

Aldo.

Trying To Use COALESCE/ISNULL With CAST In Select Statement

Aug 27, 2007

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to SQL within the past year and am having quite a bit of difficulty trying to replace NULL in a column cast as smalldatetime. What i'd like to do is return the value "EMPLOYEED" within any record containing a null value, obviously I need to CAST the column to a varchar but when I try and do this I keep getting errors. I'm trying hard to find the answer online but the only examples I get are is for money and i'm not sure i'm completely understanding how this is supposed to work. I've also tried using the ISNULL function as well - getting the same errors in this case (though i'm using ISNULL successfully in another column).

It seems to me that I should be able to write the syntax as the following:


CAST(ISNULL(TerminationDate, 'EMPLOYEED') AS Varchar(20)) AS TerminationDate

----OR---


CAST(COALESCE(TerminationDate, 'EMPLOYEED') AS Varchar(20)) AS TerminationDate




I'm new enough that I could just be confusing myself, but I really seriously cannot find any good explanations or examples online for what I am trying to do.

Can some nice SQL expert provide assistance?

Thanks!!!!!

Specified Cast Is Not Valid

Sep 11, 2006

im doing a sum on a table and it either returns a number in decimal format or 'null' .  The problem is when it returns null i want it to just make the text say '0.00'.  So i did a test on the object that if it returns NULL just print  '0.00' but if it is not null it tells me that there is a number there and i want to store that as a decimal and print it out.  But i get an error for a type cast when im not it should not even be going to that part of the code. In the code below the first executescaler will return null so it should just go straight to the else.  But it gives me the type cast error in the if that shouldnt be seen.  The error and code are below. //Borrower NSF FEES

Cast Problem

Aug 31, 2007

If I run the following query in SQL Server Management Studio it returns the correct results: (Searching the table for the field "SpecimenID (an INT)" against the data entered (a Text Field - "7575-01")  from the submitted form.
SELECT     ClinicalID, SpecimenID, PatientID, LabID, Accession, Bacillus, Francisella, Yersinia, Brucella, Burkholderia, Coxiella, Staphylococcus, Other,                       OtherExplanation, CollectionDate, strddlTransportMedium, strddlSpecimenSource, UserName, Test, SpecimenCount, DateAndTimeFROM         ClinicalSpecimenWHERE     (SpecimenID = CAST('7575-01' AS VARCHAR(50)))ORDER BY SpecimenID DESCHowever, when I try to use the same logic in the ASPX.VB code behind page, as follows below, I either get an error message (Syntax error converting the varchar value '' to a column of data type int.) or record not found.... Can someone please explain what I am missing here....
MySQL = "SELECT * FROM ClinicalSpecimen WHERE SpecimenID = CAST(('" & AccessionPresent & "') AS VARCHAR(50))"
*"AccessionPresent" is the value of the text field retrieved from the form.
I guess what I am really asking is how can I search for an INT value in a table using a VARCHAR Field.
Thank you for any or all assistance !!!

Specified Cast Is Not Valid

Apr 7, 2006

Can't seem to find why I'm getting this error: Specified cast is not valid.
Ok, using a stored procedure for SQL Server 2000 and here is the main part of it:
 SELECT id, rank, firstName, lastName, service, status, createdTime FROM   accessRequest WHERE  lastName LIKE @tLastName     AND    firstName LIKE @tFirstName
And the C# code behind from the class file:
SqlDataReader spResults;
conn.Open();
spResults = command.ExecuteReader();
while( spResults.Read() )
{
AccessRequestSearch request = new AccessRequestSearch( (int)spResults.GetInt32( 0 ), spResults.GetString( 2 ), spResults.GetString( 3 ), spResults.GetString( 1 ), spResults.GetString( 4 ), spResults.GetString( 5 ), Convert.ToDateTime(spResults.GetString( 6 )));
searchResults.Add( request ); // Add to Array List
}
spResults.Close();
The part in red is where I think it's happening because that is what I just added to the request.  createdTime in the table is set as DateTime.
Can anyone see what I am missing here?
More info is available if needed.
Thanks,
Zath

Check If Cast Is Possible

Feb 10, 2005

I use to import data from DBF Clipper databases into SQL Server. When a table is just imported its date fields have string format. I need to copy their data to tables of database where they ahve to be converted into date. Direct operator INSERT doesn't convert properly (I've not successed in changing default date format so it'll be covertable) but using CAST I can get result of strings like 13.05.1970 0:00:00 as datetime type. But not all records can be coverted this way. For ones can't be converted I've solved to make NULL fields there. But I don't know how to make CAST operation return NULL when convertion isn't possible. The query
INSERT INTO people_temp
(reg_num, surname, stname, patronymic, foreing, gender, birthdate, fam_pos, dwell_type, children, nation, par_not, region, stud_fml, parn_fml,
com_prob, sp_prob, sn_passport, nn_passport, dv_passport, wg_passport)
SELECT STUDENTs_temp.REG_NOM, STUDENTs_temp.FAMILY, STUDENTs_temp.NAME, STUDENTs_temp.PARN_NAME, STUDENTs_temp.INOSTR,

STUDENTs_temp.SEX,
CAST(PSPR_temp.DATA_BORN AS smalldatetime), PSPR_temp.SEM_POL, PSPR_temp.XAR_JT, PSPR_temp.CHILDREN,

PSPR_temp.NATION,
PSPR_temp.SV_ROD1 + PSPR_temp.SV_ROD2 AS Expr1, PSPR_temp.REGION, PSPR_temp.STUD_FML,

PSPR_temp.PARN_FML,
PSPR_temp.OB_STAJ, PSPR_temp.SP_STAJ, PSPR_temp.SN_PASPORT, PSPR_temp.NN_PASPORT, PSPR_temp.DV_PASPORT,
PSPR_temp.WG_PASPORT
FROM STUDENTs_temp INNER JOIN
PSPR_temp ON STUDENTs_temp.REG_NOM = PSPR_temp.REG_NOM
gets an error 'The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value'. Tell me please how can make type casting return NULL if convertion isn't possible.

Help In Cast Function!

Mar 8, 2006

Hi,

I have a table with the following structure:
Table: Meeting
ID integer not null
Desc text null

Here Col 'Desc' is a text type stores description. I have used the following UPDATE query:
UPDATE Meeting SET Desc='New Updated text......' + ' ' + CAST(Desc as varchar) WHERE ID=100

Issues:
1. Since i did'nt specify lenth for varchar it takes only 30 chars from existing value and added to the edited text.
2. If i give like this CAST(Desc as varchar(8000)); it might take only first 8000 chars; remaining would be truncated correct? I assume that will happen.
3. If i don't use CAST i get error msg: "Invalid operator for type.."
Is there any work around in this situation? or better way to do it.

Looking for your help.
Thanks

CAST Problem

Jan 10, 2008

I have a problem with CASTING

I have a CASE stmt, i check a var that is an int in the db, but based on values i wanna display strings.

so

CASE var1
WHEN var1 = 51 THEN 'Level 1'
WHEN var1 = 52 THEN 'Level 2'
ELSE var1
END as x


This gives me Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'Level 1' to data type int.

Fair enough
but when i try to cast it it still gives me the same error ?

CASE CAST(var1 as varchar(10))
WHEN var1 = 51 THEN 'Level 1'
WHEN var1 = 52 THEN 'Level 2'
ELSE var1

Will this sql view works and cast theSVCCODE field into a varchar, I need to cast the reseult of this,SUBSTRING(CAST(SVCCODE AS varchar), 1, 4) AS [Dept #], back in to a decimalformat. I am dropping this view onto a form and need to link to a field onthe form that is in decimal format.The only way I could get this to work was to create another view, based onthe one above, and cast the [Dept #] field back into the decimal format. Isthere any better way to do this? Can I nest the Cast command?Hope this makes sense.Thanks in advance.Mikem charney at dunlap hospital dot org

Here is the blog.

Convert AND Cast

Nov 6, 2007

We have a 3rd party application that connects to our SQL 2005 as a external database source.

Our external database has a 'datein' field that for some reason is stored as a varchar(50).

I can use cast to convert the field to datetime, but how would I then format to the yyyy-mm-dd format in the same select statement(using in view)?

I need to convert this field to a format of YYYY-MM-DD in order for the 3rd party application to search on it correctly.
Below is an example of the data --
FieldName = DateIn
DateType = Varchar(50)

The data that is being converted appears as one of two things. First it can appear as a string value with 0 characters (that does not appear a Null oddly). Second it will appear as a string value representing a date in the following format 01022008 7:38 which is a date in the following the format 2 Digit Month, 2 Digit Day, 4 Digit Year, Space Time in Military Time.



The expression I'm using to convert the String data type to a Date is:



Code Block

LEN([Completed Date Time]) == 0 || ISNULL([Completed Date Time]) ? NULL(DT_DATE) : (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING([Completed Date Time],1,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([Completed Date Time],3,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([Completed Date Time],5,10))

Safe Way To Cast

Nov 29, 2007

I have a table that stores a value called "LocationNumber" as a varchar. I didn't create the database, I just use it. Anyway I usually sort the list by Casting the LocationNumber to an Integer. If I don't cast it, it trys to sort it lexiographically i.e. 0, 1, 21, 3, 345, 9 instead of 0, 1, 2, 3, 9, 21, 345.

It works 99.9% of the time, but the other 0.1% of the time it runs into some text that somehow made its way into the database field, and it causes an error.

Is there a way to safely cast a number in SQL? So that it just returns 0 when the value is not a number.
