Hi i have a query below which creates insert script for me. the column TotalPremiumValue has datatype Decimal(5,2). when i execute my query i am getting the following error: Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric. can anybody help me?
SELECT 'IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM Lkup.TotalPremium WHERE [TotalPremiumValue]= '''+[TotalPremiumValue]+''')
INSERT INTO Lkup.TotalPremium ' +
'(' +
'[TotalPremiumValue],' +
'[EffectiveDate]' +
')' +
'VALUES (' +
CASE WHEN [TotalPremiumValue] IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE CONVERT(VARCHAR(40), [TotalPremiumValue]) END + ', ' +
CASE WHEN [EffectiveDate] IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE 'CONVERT(DATETIME, ' + master.sys.fn_varbintohexstr (CONVERT(BINARY(8), [EffectiveDate])) + ')' END + ', ' +
')'
FROM Lkup.TotalPremium
Thanks
Perhaps try recasting the result as a decimal(5,2)? I added the call into a portion of your code and pasted the section below. You could also shrink that varchar(40) down to a varchar(6), which would hold all 5 numbers plus the decimal point.
'VALUES ( CAST(' +
CASE WHEN [TotalPremiumValue] IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE CONVERT(VARCHAR(40), [TotalPremiumValue]) END + ' AS DECIMAL(5,2)), ' +
CASE WHEN [EffectiveDate] IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE 'CONVERT(DATETIME, ' + master.sys.fn_varbintohexstr (CONVERT(BINARY(8), [EffectiveDate])) + ')' END + ', ' +
')'
Please try the below query
SELECT
'IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM Lkup WHERE [TotalPremiumValue] = ' + CONVERT(varchar(50), [TotalPremiumValue]) + ')
INSERT INTO Lkup ' +
'(' +
'[TotalPremiumValue]' +
')' +
'VALUES (' +
case when CONVERT(varchar(50),[TotalPremiumValue]) IS NULL then 'null' else CONVERT(varchar(50),TotalPremiumValue) end +
')'
FROM Lkup

I am working on a SQL project that is pulling data from many tables to list them out in an email body. In the body of my email, I am pulling int values that are throwing exceptions because the body needs to eventually be a nvarchar(max). Different types of conversion have not worked for me yet.
This is SQL running on Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. I have tried leaving the int unconverted, and a few different conversion methods I have seen elsewhere.
In the examples, wtpc.Reg_No is a varchar and wtpc.Shipment_Net_Weight is an int.
'Body' =
...
+ 'Net: ' +
CASE
WHEN wtpc.Reg_No IS NOT NULL THEN wtpc.Shipment_Net_Weight
ELSE '0'
END
+ ' LBS'
+ 'Gross:
...
Results in: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ' LBS' to data type int.
'Body' =
...
+ 'Net: ' +
CASE
WHEN wtpc.Reg_No IS NOT NULL THEN str(wtpc.Shipment_Net_Weight)
ELSE '0'
END
+ ' LBS'
+ 'Gross:
...
Results in: Error converting data type varchar to float.
'Body' =
...
+ 'Net: ' +
CASE
ELSE wtpc.Reg_No IS NOT NULL THEN
CONVERT(INT,
CASE
WHEN IsNumeric(CONVERT(VARCHAR(15), wtpc.Shipment_Net_Weight)) = 1
THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(15),wtpc.Shipment_Net_Weight)
ELSE 0
END)
ELSE '0'
END
+ ' LBS'
+ 'Gross:
...
Results in: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ' LBS' to data type int.

Found the fix:
isnull( convert(varchar(50), wtpc.Shipment_Net_Weight), '')
There were no matching cases, but the errors didn't show this, kinda goofy! Thank you for all the help everyone!
I receive this error and I cant find out why.
case when FormFields.fieldtype like '%date%'
then 'not' + fieldname + ' is null and ( convert(datetime,'
+ fieldname +',103) < '
+ coalesce(str(FormFields.MinDate),'1/1/1900') + ')'
+ ' or ( convert(datetime,' + fieldname +',103) > '
+ coalesce(str(FormFields.MaxDate), '1/1/2200') + ')'
+
else
'not '+ fieldname + ' is null and ( convert(float,'+ fieldname+') <'
+ coalesce(str(FormFields.MinValue),'-99999999')
+ ' or convert(float,'+ fieldname+') >'
+ coalesce(str(FormFields.MaxValue),'99999999') +')'
+
end
previous code without any error:
'not '+ fieldname + ' is null and ( convert(float,'+ fieldname+') <'
+ coalesce(str(FormFields.MinValue),'-99999999')
+ ' or convert(float,'+ fieldname+') >'
+ coalesce(str(FormFields.MaxValue),'99999999') +')'

I just wanted to add another case
You have 2 extra + in your query, 1 in the end of the THEN part, another in end of the ELSE part. If you need to combine CASE expression with another string, use + after END. Try in following:
case when FormFields.fieldtype like '%date%'
then 'not' + fieldname + ' is null and ( convert(datetime,'
+ fieldname +',103) < '
+ coalesce(str(FormFields.MinDate),'1/1/1900') + ')'
+ ' or ( convert(datetime,' + fieldname +',103) > '
+ coalesce(str(FormFields.MaxDate), '1/1/2200') + ')'
else
'not '+ fieldname + ' is null and ( convert(float,'+ fieldname+') <'
+ coalesce(str(FormFields.MinValue),'-99999999')
+ ' or convert(float,'+ fieldname+') >'
+ coalesce(str(FormFields.MaxValue),'99999999') +')'
end
+ 'Any string after CASE expression'
Hi I have a select which works great where I use CHARINDEX on a varchar column, but when I try it on a integer column I get the following error;
Argument data type int is invalid for argument 1 of charindex function.
Below I have listed both queries.
stremail is varchar
intEmployeeID in integer
**below returns results as aspected**
SELECT intEmployeeID
FROM [dbo].[tblEmployees]
WHERE CHARINDEX(',' + strEmail + ',', ',' + REPLACE('test#gmail.com, test2#gmail.com', ' ', '') + ',') > 0
**below I get an error if I'm trying to select on a integer column**
SELECT intEmployeeID
FROM [dbo].[tblEmployees]
WHERE CHARINDEX(',' + intEmployeeID + ',', ',' + REPLACE('1, 2', ' ', '') + ',') > 0
Any help would be most greatful.
SELECT intEmployeeID
FROM [dbo].[tblEmployees]
WHERE CHARINDEX(',' + cast(intEmployeeID as nvarchar(max)) + ',', ',' + REPLACE('1, 2', ' ', '') + ',') > 0
+ cast(intEmployeeID as varchar)+
Cast intEmployeeID as varchar
You have to explicitly convert the integer to a character string, otherwise it compiles the + operators as integer addition instead of string concatenation :
CHARINDEX(',' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),intEmployeeID) + ',', ',' + REPLACE('1, 2', ' ', '') + ',')
I can't seem to figure out how to use the opposite of isnull or ifnull statements in sql. I need to say if a.Error1 is not null -- then print the ' - ' and the + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10). Basically There should be no dash or no new line break if the a.Error1 comes back null. So print the information if the field isn't null.
select a. ....
' - ' + a.Error1 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) +
' - ' + a.Error2 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) +
' - ' + a.Error3 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) +
' - ' + a.Error4 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) +
' - ' + a.Error5 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) +
' - ' + a.Error6 as 'error_message'
...
from table1 a
For example if for a given record error1, 2 and 5 returned output I would like the output to be as follows:
- Error1: There was a ...
- Error2: ....
- Error5: The data was ...
If no errors existed for that row it should simply be an empty/null field.
You can use CASE:
SELECT a. ....
(CASE WHEN a.Error1 IS NOT NULL
THEN ' - ' + a.Error1 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10)
ELSE ''
END) +
(CASE WHEN a.Error2 IS NOT NULL
THEN ' - ' + a.Error2 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10)
ELSE ''
END) +
(CASE WHEN a.Error3 IS NOT NULL
THEN ' - ' + a.Error3 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10)
ELSE ''
END) +
...etc
Yes! i know i'm like 5 years too late but i too enountered this problem.
It's weird how it doesn't exist some kind of !ISNULL() but whatever.
Try this for a cleaner code:
select a. ....
IIF(a.Error1 IS NOT NULL, ' - ' + a.Error1 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) , '') as Error1,
IIF(a.Error1 IS NOT NULL, ' - ' + a.Error1 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) , '') as Error2
from table1 a

The COALESCE function does what you want here. The result of COALESCE is the first NOT NULL value it is passed. Below we use '', which is distinct from NULL so that the outer + is always applied to NOT NULL strings.
e.g.
select a. ....
COALESCE( ' - ' + a.Error1 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10), '' ) +
COALESCE( ' - ' + a.Error2 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10), '' ) +
COALESCE( ' - ' + a.Error3 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10), '' ) +
COALESCE( ' - ' + a.Error4 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10), '' ) +
COALESCE( ' - ' + a.Error5 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10), '' ) +
COALESCE( ' - ' + a.Error6 , '' ) as 'error_message'
...
from table1 a
SELECT (CASE WHEN a.Error1 IS NOT NULL
THEN ' - ' + a.Error1 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) +
ELSE a.Error1
END) +
(CASE WHEN a.Error2 IS NOT NULL
THEN ' - ' + a.Error2 + CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) +
ELSE a.Error2
END) +
.....etc
I have a dynamic query like this :
SET #str_Query = 'SELECT SIM.Item_ID,
SIM.Item_Description,
SU.Short_Description AS Unit,
SIM.Std_Lead_Time,'+
'' ''+' AS Last_Purchase_Rate
FROM FKMS_Item_Master AS SIM
INNER JOIN FKMS_STP_Units SU
ON SIM.Item_Purchase_Unit=SU.Unit_Id' +
' WHERE ' + #str_Condition +
' AND SIM.Location_Id =' + CAST(#aint_Location_Id AS VARCHAR(10)) +
' AND SIM.Item_Deleted =0
AND SIM.Approved_On IS NOT NULL'
+' ORDER BY SIM.Item_Description'
I want to retrieve space as Last_Purchase_Rate
It is showing syntax error in the portion of '' ''+' AS Last_Purchase_Rate
when I execute this query.
If I print this dynamic query, query seems correct. It shows as AS Last_Purchase_Rate with space before AS. Please help.
I would write
...SIM.Std_Lead_Time, '' '' AS Last_Purchase_Rate...
instead of
...SIM.Std_Lead_Time,'+'' ''+' AS Last_Purchase_Rate...
Why not use NULL instead of space and then handle the result in your app?
I.e.,
SET #str_Query = 'SELECT SIM.Item_ID,
SIM.Item_Description,
SU.Short_Description AS Unit,
SIM.Std_Lead_Time,
NULL AS Last_Purchase_Rate, -- and so on.
You could also use CHAR(32):
SET #str_Query = 'SELECT SIM.Item_ID,
SIM.Item_Description,
SU.Short_Description AS Unit,
SIM.Std_Lead_Time,
CHAR(32) AS Last_Purchase_Rate, -- and so on.
You did not escape all quotes.
A working version of your statement would be
SET #str_Query = 'SELECT SIM.Item_ID,
SIM.Item_Description,
SU.Short_Description AS Unit,
SIM.Std_Lead_Time,'
+ ''' '''
+ ' AS Last_Purchase_Rate
FROM FKMS_Item_Master AS SIM
INNER JOIN FKMS_STP_Units SU
ON SIM.Item_Purchase_Unit=SU.Unit_Id' +
' WHERE ' + #str_Condition +
' AND SIM.Location_Id =' + CAST(#aint_Location_Id AS VARCHAR(10)) +
' AND SIM.Item_Deleted =0
AND SIM.Approved_On IS NOT NULL'
+' ORDER BY SIM.Item_Description'
but I find that with a little reformatting, the error is easier to spot
SET #str_Query =
'SELECT SIM.Item_ID '
+ ', SIM.Item_Description '
+ ', SU.Short_Description AS Unit '
+ ', SIM.Std_Lead_Time '
+ ', '' ''' + ' AS Last_Purchase_Rate '
+ 'FROM FKMS_Item_Master AS SIM '
+ ' INNER JOIN FKMS_STP_Units SU '
+ ' ON SIM.Item_Purchase_Unit=SU.Unit_Id '
+ ' WHERE ' + #str_Condition
+ ' AND SIM.Location_Id = ' + CAST(#aint_Location_Id AS VARCHAR(10))
+ ' AND SIM.Item_Deleted =0 '
+ ' AND SIM.Approved_On IS NOT NULL '
+ ' ORDER BY SIM.Item_Description '
