Question : cast or convert varchar to int and datetime
have two tables test and test2
test has two columns updated from csv file
sequence (nvarchar 50)
date (varchar 50)
then I need to update to test2 as this table is selected by a cube (third party report server) set up as int and datetime
sequence (int)
date (datetime)
have used the following scripts and all have failed
insert into test2
select convert (int, sequence),
convert (datetime, date) from test
Results
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
The statement has been terminated.
then tried
insert into test2
select cast (sequence as int),
cast (date as datetime) from test
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
