Converting from String to Numeric Problem

1 New Member
I have a SQL statement that keeps giving me this error:

Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric.

My select statement is the following:

SELECT
cast(Table.Stri ngValue as numeric(4))
FROM
Table
WHERE
cast(Table.Stri ngValue as numeric(4)) < 60

The Table.StringVal ue has some null values as well as text like the word 'green' or 'yellow'. If I remove the where statement the SQL statement works. Is there something I need to do special to be able to use the cast statement within a where clause?

Hello all, I'm having a little problem, The UTF-8 parser we are using converts the newline entity ( ) within an attribute that we are using to paliate CSS limitations. After the parser has gone through the document, the entity is converted to \n, which then effectively tosses out the window the behavior we are getting by keepinig the entity AS IS within the document.

Problem: You have numbers in string format, but you need to convert them to a numeric type, such as an int or float. Solution: You can do this with the standard library functions. The functions strtol, strtod, and strtoul, defined in <cstdlib>, convert a null- terminated character string to a long int, double, or unsigned long. You can use them to convert numeric strings of any base to a numeric

I want to convert a string representation of a number ("1234") to an int, with overflow and underflow checking. Essentially, I'm looking for a strtol() that converts int instead of long. The problem with strtol() is that a number that fits into a long might be too big for an int. sscanf() doesn't seem to do the over/underflow checking. atoi(), of course, doesn't do any checking. I've long thought it odd that there aren't strtoi() and...

I'm receiving an xml file that has a child called modified and it represents a date value in the form of a string -- Nov 14, 2008 -- and in my app, I have items associated with each object and I'm trying to sort them by the date modified field. So what's the problem, right? Well, obviously Sep 14, 2008 is before Nov 14, 2008, but when doing a sort process, ActionScript will come back with Nov coming before Sep, because N comes before S in...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
