Question

Hi experts,
I execute the next code:
SELECT CAST(Order_Number AS bigint)
FROM Orders
WHERE Order_Number IS NOT NULL
AND ISNUMERIC(Order_Number) = 1
AND Order_Number NOT LIKE ‘%-%’
AND Order_Number NOT LIKE ‘%.%’And besides having all those checks, it falis with: ‘Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.’
How can I spot the row that is breaking this? The table has 1,000,000 rows, so I can’t look for it visually.
Thanks in advance!!!

Using NOT LIKE ‘%[^0-9]%’ should exclude any OrderNumber that has any character other than ‘0’ through ‘9’. Putting that in a CTE would certainly ensure that the NOT LIKE is true before trying the conversion, but it shouldn’t be trying the conversion
on a record that will not be selected. (If I know that I’m not going to select the record, why would I try to do work on it???)I’m wondering, do you need to CONVERT(BIGINT, 2147483647)?? Might it be trying to convert the BIGINT into an INT to do the comparison?? (Just a WAG, but I’ve seen stranger things…)
HTH,
Carl

When I run following query with SELECT *
I get error saying :
[S0005][8114] Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT * , ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CAST(id as BIGINT)) AS RowNum
FROM users
) AS users
WHERE users.RowNum BETWEEN 0 AND 5 ;
When I run this query only with SELECT id , ROW_NUMBER() ...
everything works.
My DB looks like this:
This query run well with other table where id
column is NVARCHAR
ID column is number only and if i cast it as : CAST(id as NVARCHAR) i get same error.
EDIT:
I Found problem with column ID values
ID 46903836
ID 9100000004
Small ids dont have leading zeros

Usually when I get this error it is because there is whitespace on the front or end of the column. Here is how I fix it.
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT * , ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CAST(LTRIM(RTRIM(id)) as BIGINT)) AS RowNum
FROM users
) AS users
WHERE users.RowNum BETWEEN 0 AND 5 ;
This will ensure ID is just the number only I am also assuming that there aren’t any alpha characters with the ID.

You Don’t need to cast your id column as it is already in bigint datatype

Your ID
field is BIGINT
(you have posted your table structure), this don’t cause the error in your question.
But, because is unuseful the CAST
you can rewrite your query as follow:
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT * , ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id) AS RowNum
FROM users
) AS users
WHERE users.RowNum BETWEEN 0 AND 5 ;

Hi: I am getting this data conversion error while I am trying to insert one table into another existing table (appending data). I would really appreciate any assistance on this please.
Thanks

Hi,
You should list the columns in your SELECT statement in order of the INSERT columns list. But here you haven’t inserted any column. Also you can use a SELECT INFO statement. Therefore a table will be automatically created and you won’t have these problems.

I’m putting this as an answer, even though it doesn’t really answer the question, because I can’t fit this properly in a comment.
I ran this against SQL Server 2008 and I don’t get any errors..
BEGIN
DECLARE @t TABLE(AsnNumber NVARCHAR(33))
INSERT INTO @t (AsnNumber) VALUES('1777188')
INSERT INTO @t (AsnNumber) VALUES('1777189')
SELECT AsnNumber FROM @t
SELECT CAST(AsnNumber AS BIGINT) as AsnNumber
FROM @t
WHERE AsnNumber = '1777188';
SELECT CAST(CAST(AsnNumber AS BIGINT) AS NVARCHAR(33)) as AsnNumber
FROM @t
WHERE AsnNumber = '1777188';
SELECT query1.*
FROM (SELECT CAST(CAST(AsnNumber AS BIGINT) AS NVARCHAR(33)) as AsnNumber FROM @t) as query1
WHERE AsnNumber = '1777188';
WITH query1 (AsnNumber) AS
(SELECT CAST(CAST(AsnNumber AS BIGINT) AS NVARCHAR(33)) as AsnNumber FROM @t)
SELECT AsnNumber FROM query1
WHERE AsnNumber = '1777188';
END
This demonstrates that your query #1 works fine, and it also demonstrates that I can use it as a subquery and I can use it in a common table expression, and still no error. I have no idea why you’re getting an error.
Perhaps you can include a full set of statements to create the table, populate it with data, and then the exact query you’re running that produces the error? If you do that, it would help me to reproduce the issue, and then I could probably explain why it’s occurring. For now, I can’t reproduce your issue.

Below is the error message I am getting when I run the below script. Any help appreciated.

Hi Naveen,
Pleace check the below condition
WHEN ure.EntityTypeCode ='SITEAWARD' THEN L.SiteAwardId END
You need to use either convert or cast the values in L.SiteAwardId column. I think its coming as bigint.
Hope this help you.
Thanks
