This article will show you in detail how to use the TRY_CAST data type conversion function in SQL Server with specific syntax and examples to better visualize and capture functions.
Describe
The TRY_CAST function in SQL Server converts an expression from one data type to another. If the conversion fails, TRY_CAST will return NULL, otherwise it will return the corresponding conversion value.
Syntax
To use TRY_CAST function in SQL Server, we use the following syntax:
TRY_CAST(bieuthuc AS kieudulieu [(do_dai)])
Parameters :
- bieuthuc: value to convert to another data type, can also be the name of a column in the table or a calculation expression that needs to be converted to a new data type.
- kieudulieu: the new data type name to which the expression will be converted. Probably one of the following: bigint, int, smallint, tinyint, bit, decimal, numeric, money, smallmoney, float, real, datetime, smalldatetime, char, varchar, text, nchar, nvarchar, ntext, binary, varbinary or image.
- do_dai (optional): data type length for the result of char, varchar, nchar, nvarchar, binary and varbinary.
Note :
- When converting float or numeric data to int integers, TRY_CAST function will cut the decimal part behind.
- See also CAST, CONVERT and TRY_CONVERT functions.
- TRY_CAST can be used in later versions of SQL Server: SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2016, SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2012.
For example
Take a look and explore some examples of TRY_CAST functions in SQL Server.
SELECT TRY_CAST(14.85 AS int);
Result: 14
(kết quả là một giá trị int bị cắt phần thập phân)
SELECT TRY_CAST(14.85 AS float);
Result: 14.85
(kết quả được trả về dưới dạng giá trị float và không bị cắt ngắn)
SELECT TRY_CAST('14 Main St.' AS float);
Result: NULL
(kết quả là NULL vì không thể chuyển đổi giá trị chuỗi này thành float)
SELECT TRY_CAST(15.6 AS varchar);
Result: '15.6'
(kết quả được trả về dưới dạng varchar)
SELECT TRY_CAST(15.6 AS varchar(2));
Result: NULL
(kết quả là NULL vì chuyển đổi không thành công do giá trị không phù hợp với
varchar độ dài 2 ký tự)
SELECT TRY_CAST('2018-09-13' AS datetime);
Result: '2018-09-13 00:00:00.000'
(kết quả được trả về dưới dạng datetime)
