Error When Convert Or Cast Functions From Varchar To XML Datatype
Dec 29, 2007Hi I have a varchar(8000) and currently XML files are stored in varchar(8000).Some times when i am doing manuplactions in my varchar column i am getting with special characters error. so now i want to keep my column varchar(MAX) and when i am doing calculations i will convert my varchar datatype to xml datatype. By doing this i hope there wont be any special character problems.
When i am doing calculations with the wellformed xml i am getting error for both convert and cast methods as below
I am trying to do convert(xml,MyVarcharColumn)
Implicit conversion from data type xml to nvarchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
Also i tried with casting and getting same problme. is there any way to convert
please suggest me
Thanks

SIMPLE Command To Convert String To Number? Not CAST Or CONVERT.
Aug 15, 2006Dear 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

View 2 Replies View RelatedCast/Convert Value To VB Variable
Oct 24, 2005Hi all,
I have a VB 6.0 application that interacts with an MS Access backend. I am in the process of converting it so that it interacts with SQL Server 2000. The current applications uses Cint, CStr, etc. functions which are MS-Access specific, so I am now switching over to Convert (or Cast) function. The problem is that there are certain places wherein I first need to store the value of the resultant CAST/Convert function in a variable and then use that value in a SQL statement. However, I cant seem to figure out a way of storing the results from CAST/CONVERT functions in the VB 6.0 variable. All the examples on Internet show use of these functions directly in an SQL statement e.g. "Select CAST(title as Int) from xyz", etc.
Can anybody tell me how can i get the values to be stored in the variable? I am really stuck here and cant seem to progress.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Problem With CAST And CONVERT In SQL Server2000 Converting Decimal Places From 4 To 2
May 11, 2005All of my currency columns are only storing 2 decimal places when I insert into the database but when I pull out the data with a SELECT statement, I always get 4 decimal places instead of the 2 that were inserted.
For example:
Database Price SELECT statement Price

I have tried to use the CAST and/or CONVERT commands but I cannot get the output to come out as 100.56. Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Using CAST Or CONVERT To Change Data From String To Datetime?
Apr 16, 2014i am trying to take a field that has part of a date in it, so I have to parse it out as follows:
SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)
This is because a date of 04/16/2014 will show as 160416 in the first part of the field I need to parse it out of, thus becoming 04162014.
From there I then need to convert this "date" into a legitimate SQL datetime type, so that I can then run a DATEDIFF to compare it to when the record was actually entered, which is a separate field in the table, and already in datetime format.
When I use the below statement, I am getting the message that, "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string."
CAST((SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)) as datetime)
I also tried CONVERT(datetime, (SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)), and got the same message.
how I can parse that field, then convert it to a datetime format for running a DATEDIFF statement?

" However, there would appear to be different data types. If Value is a character
