New Transact SQL Video Tutorial: 02 - Implicit Datatype Conversion and How SQL Server Converts Data in Expressions

2007-04-24T18:41:00.000-05:00

02 - Implicit Datatype Conversion and How SQL Server Converts Data in Expressions - view details

This video is all about how SQL Server can automatically (implicitly) convert datatypes in expressions. For example, in the expression 'SELECT 1 + 10000 + 0.00', what will the return datatype be? 1 could be a BIT, a TINYINT, a SMALLINT, an INT, or a BIGINT - which is it? 10000 could be a SMALLINT, INT or BIGINT. 0.00 could be a DECIMAL, NUMERIC, FLOAT, REAL, MONEY, or SMALLMONEY.

Highlights from this video:
In the expression, SELECT '123', is '123' a string or a number?
In the expression, SELECT 2007/08/08, is the return type an INT, a DECIMAL, or a DATETIME?
an much more on datatypes

So what is the answer to our question above? The answer is that if you just typed that expression in, your return type would be a FLOAT.
