This article will show you in detail how to use the TRY_CONVERT data type conversion function in SQL Server with specific syntax and examples to better visualize and capture functions.
Describe
The TRY_CONVERT function in SQL Server allows you to convert an expression to any desired data type but can follow a certain format (especially for the date data type). If the conversion fails, TRY_CONVERT will return NULL, otherwise it will return the corresponding conversion value.
Syntax
To use TRY_CONVERT function in SQL Server, we use the following syntax:
TRY_CONVERT(kieudulieu(do_dai), bieuthuc, dinh_dang)
Parameters :
- 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.
- 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.
- dinh_dang (optional): is a number that specifies the format for converting data from date format to string form. The table below describes some common formats used in the TRY_CONVERT function.
(yy) Year format
(yyyy) Display data 0 100 mon dd yyyy hh: miAM / PM (Default) 1 101 mm / dd / yyyy (US standard) 2 102 yy.mm.dd (ANSI standard) 3 103 dd / mm / yy ( British / French standard 4 104 dd.mm.yy (German standard) 5 105 dd-mm-yy (Italian standard) 6 106 dd mon yy 7 107 Mon dd, yy 8 108 hh: mi: ss 9 109 mon dd yyyy hh: mi: ss: mmmAM / PM 10 110 mm-ddyy (USA standard) 11 111 yy / mm / dd (Japan standard) 12 112 yymmdd (ISO standard) 13 113 dd mon yyyy hh: mi: ss: mmm (Europe standard - 24 hour clock) 14 114 hh: mi: ss: mmm (24 hour clock) 20 120 yyyy-mm-dd hh: mi: ss (ODBC canonical - 24 hour clock) 21 121 yyyy-mm-dd hh : mi: ss: mmm (ODBC canonical - 24 hour clock) 126 yyyy-mm-ddThh: mi: ss: mmm (ISO8601 standard) 127 yyyy-mm-ddThh: mi: ss: mmmZ (ISO8601 standard) 130 dd y yyyy hh: mi: ss: mmmAM / PM (Hijri standard) 131 dd / mm / yy hh: mi: ss: mmmAM / PM (Hijri standard)
Note :
- When converting float or numeric data types to int integers, TRY_CONVERT will cut the decimal part behind.
- See also CAST and CONVERT, TRY_CAST functions.
- TRY_CONVERT 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_CONVERT functions in SQL Server.
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(int, 14.85);
Result: 14
(kết quả là một giá trị int bị cắt phần thập phân)
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(float, 14.85);
Result: 14.85
(kết quả được trả về dưới dạng giá trị float và không bị cắt ngắn)
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(float, '14 Main St.');
Result: NULL
(kết quả là NULL vì không thể chuyển đổi giá trị chuỗi này thành float)
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(varchar, 15.6);
Result: '15.6'
(kết quả được trả về dưới dạng varchar)
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(varchar(2), 15.6);
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_CONVERT(datetime, '2018-09-13');
Result: '2018-09-13 00:00:00.000'
(kết quả được trả về dưới dạng datetime)
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(varchar, '2018-09-13', 101);
Result: '09/13/2018'
(kết quả được trả về dưới dạng varchar với kiểu 101 - mm/dd/yyyy (tiêu chuẩn Hoa Kỳ))
