Have following and not sure if possible to get around this:Variable carrier is an integer and vessel is a char(20), is there a way to do the join (getting error: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'Colonial Pipeline' to data type int)I only need to do the join in variable vessel has a numreic value (otherwise not).Thank you.LEFT JOIN [VEMA-FACS1].FUELFACS.dbo.carrier as ca ON ca.carrier_number = bm.vessel |

| LEFT JOIN [VEMA-FACS1].FUELFACS.dbo.carrier as caON ca.carrier_number = case when isnumeric(bm.vessel)=1 then convert(int,bm.vessel) end==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
