Exercise 2: Converting Data Types

Scenario
Some application queries have been producing unexpected results. The Senior Database Administrator suspects that some of the problems may be due to incorrect data type conversion. The Senior DBA has asked you to spend some time learning about data type conversion so that you can help resolve these problems. The main tasks for this exercise are as follows: 1. 2. Use implicit conversions. Use explicit conversions.

Task 1: Use implicit conversions

Use SQL Server Management Studio to look up the data type for the SalariedFlag column in the HumanResources.Employee table in the AdventureWorks2008 database. Create a new query on the AdventureWorks2008 database with the following code:
SELECT NationalIDNumber, LoginID, SalariedFlag FROM HumanResources.Employee WHERE SalariedFlag = 'False'

Review the Results pane. SQL Server automatically converted "False" to a data type of bit to compare it to the SalariedFlag column. Look up the data types for the ListPrice and StandardCost columns in the Production.Product table. Create a new query on the AdventureWorks2008 database with the following code:
DECLARE @NewListPrice nvarchar(10) = '39.99' DECLARE @NewStandardCost float = 12.45 UPDATE Production.Product SET ListPrice = @NewListPrice, StandardCost = @NewStandardCost WHERE ProductID = '2'

Run the query. Create a new query on the AdventureWorks2008 database with the following code:
SELECT Name, StandardCost, ListPrice from Production.Product WHERE ProductID = '2'

Run the query. In the results pane, notice that the ListPrice and StandardCost columns have been updated. SQL Server automatically converted the nvarchar and float types in the update query to the money data type used by the columns. Open the file E:\Mod09\Labfiles\Starter\Exercise02\UpdateDemographics.sql. Notice that the variable @NewDemographics is an nvarchar data type and contains a valid XML string. Run the query. Create a new query on the AdventureWorks2008 database with the following code:

QuickStart Intelligence

Lab Instructions: Using Advanced Techniques

SELECT FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, Demographics FROM Person.Person WHERE BusinessEntityID = 15

Run the query. In the Results pane, click the link in the Demographics column. SQL Server converted the nvarchar string to the xml data type automatically because the XML was valid.

Task 2: Use explicit conversions

Open the file E:\Mod09\Labfiles\Starter\Exercise02\EmployeePayRate.sql. Run the query and take note of the error message. Change the line of the query that begins with SELECT, so that it reads as follows:
SELECT (p.FirstName + ' ' + p.LastName + ' ' + CONVERT(nvarchar, s.Rate))

Run the query. In the Results pane, there is a single column with the employee name and pay rate combined. Open the file E:\Mod09\Labfiles\Starter\Exercise02\PayRateLastChange.sql. Run the query. Review the results of the query. Notice that the last column does not show both the pay rate and date. In the query pane, modify the SELECT statement so that it begins as follows:
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, (CAST(s.Rate AS nvarchar) + ' ' + s.RateChangeDate)

Run the query, and take note of the error message. Modify the SELECT statement again, so that it reads as follows:
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, (CAST(s.Rate AS nvarchar) + ' ' + CAST(s.RateChangeDate as nvarchar))

Run the query. Notice that the query now runs and the last column displays the correct information. Results: After this exercise, you should have verified that SQL Server automatically performs implicit conversions, and you should have also successfully run queries that performed explicit data type conversions.

Exercise 4: Using Cursors and Set-Based Queries

Scenario
You are working with a test copy of the AdventureWorks2008 database that has no pricing data in the Production.Product table. You need to populate both the ListPrice and StandardCost fields of the table, and have decided use a cursor to update ListPrice data and use a set-based query to update StandardCost data to see how the two approaches compare. The main tasks for this exercise are as follows: 1. 2. Update the ListPrice column. Update the StandardCost column.

Task 1: Update the ListPrice column

Create a new query on the AdventureWorks2008 database with the following code:
SELECT ProductID, Name, StandardCost, ListPrice FROM Production.Product

Review the StandardCost and ListPrice columns in the Results pane. Keep this query pane open. Open the E:\Mod09\Labfiles\Starter\Exercise04\UpdateListPriceCursor.sql file. Review and execute the query. When the update is complete, run the SELECT query again. Review the ListPrice column in the Results pane. The ListPrice column has been updated.

Task 2: Update the StandardCost column

Create a new query on the AdventureWorks2008 database with the following code:
UPDATE Production.Product SET StandardCost = 7.99

Run the query. When the update is complete, run the SELECT query again. Review the StandardCost column in the Results pane. The StandardCost column has been updated. Close SQL Server Management Studio without saving changes. Turn off the virtual machine and discard changes. Results: After this exercise, you should have used a cursor to update the ListPrice column and used a set-based query to update the StandardCost column of the Production.Product table.
