[dba-SQLServer] Convert nvarchar to money

This should work.  You might have to specify the size, which is 8 bytes,
and/or the precision and scale, which are 19 and 4.

INSERT INTO Table2
SELECT AcctNum, CONVERT(money, Amount)
FROM Table1

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Convert nvarchar to money


I am trying to append data from Table1 to Table2.

In Table1, the field [Amount] is datatype 'nvarchar'.

In Table2, the field [Amount] is datatype 'money'.

 

I am using the following SQL query to run the append: "INSERT INTO
Table2 SELECT AcctNum, Amount FROM Table1".

I guess I need to use the CONVERT function, but can't figure out how
this is done.

Any examples would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,
