For stuff similar to this for example: select order, CONVERT(DATETIME, orderDate) from orders What's the best way of handling this scenario? sql tsql datetime try-catch share|improve this question edited May 28 '09 at 14:55 asked May 28 '09 at 13:13 JohnIdol 23.4k43125218 2 If IsDate is true, then you sql cast error handling can cast it as a datetime. That's the point of IsDate. –cjk May 28 '09 at 13:56 @JohnIdol: what do you mean by "standard". ISO is of a standard for an example. What are different formats there for orderDate? –Sung May 28 '09 at 14:05 sorry - I was getting confused - IsDate is fine! –JohnIdol May 28 '09 at 14:56 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 19 down vote accepted I don't know about try-catch, but in SQL Server you have the ISDATE function and can there for do something like CASE WHEN ISDATE(orderDate) = 1 THEN CONVERT(DateTime, orderDate) ELSE GETDATE() END share|improve this answer answered May 28 '09 at 13:18 Robin Day 59.7k1585148 does not work if orderDate is VarChar –Cherven Nov 24 '11 at 20:51 5 What if the Date Format is different? –Asher Oct 8 '12 at 13:52 add a comment| up vote 7 down vote In MS SQL Server 2012 there is a new construct that does exactly what is asked for: SELECT CASE WHEN TRY_CONVERT(float, 'test') IS NULL THEN 'Cast failed' ELSE 'Cast succeeded' END AS Result; GO See also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230993.aspx share|improve this answ

Sql 2012 Try_cast Not Recognized
Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up MS SQL server casting without exception up vote 25 down vote favorite 2 Is there any "convert" function in MS SQL server that allows to cast types safely(without throwing exception). http://stackoverflow.com/questions/920760/try-catch-on-a-convert-in-a-select-statement I need something like "tryParse" in C# lang but as SQL statement. More detailed, I need the following statement returns zero or any else but throwing exception. select convert(float, 'fjsdhf') thanks in advance. sql-server tsql exception-handling share|improve this question edited Jun 25 '09 at 9:24 Ed Guiness 26.4k1581128 asked Jun 25 '09 at 9:15 AndrewG 71321019 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 32 down vote This will default non-numerics to 0 and will http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1042816/ms-sql-server-casting-without-exception not require another statement: SELECT CASE WHEN ISNUMERIC(myvarcharcolumn)=1 THEN CONVERT(float, REPLACE(LTRIM(RTRIM(myvarcharcolumn)), ',', '.')) ELSE 0 END AS myfloatcolumn The REPLACE() function call is used to change commas to periods. Commas are used in some cultures as a decimal separator (e.g., "1,25" instead of "1.25"), but unless your server is set up with one of those as the default culture, ISNUMERIC() will return 1 but CONVERT() will throw an error. This does mean that your strings should not use commas as thousands separators, but in most cases, a comma for a decimal placeholder is more likely to be a decimal placeholder. The LTRIM(RTRIM()) call is because ISNUMERIC() will return 1 for a string with leading or trailing spaces, but CONVERT() can't deal with them. So, you must trim your strings. The only remaining potential issue is that ISNUMERIC() will return 1 if the number can be represented as an int, currency, decimal, or float, but you're only converting to a float. Realistically, a float can store just about anything you throw at it, but if you were trying to convert to an int instead, ISNUMERIC() would return 1 for a value like "2.5", but CONVERT(int, '2.5') will still throw an error. share|improve this answer edited Aug 26 '13 at 6:00 answered Aug 31 '09 at 5:04 richardtallent 21.5k96398 10 In SQL Server 2008 R2 IsNumeric returns 0 or 1 and not a boolean.
