FYI - Issue between 7 and 2k

  • While converting a DB from 7 to 2k we found a problem.

    While I know it was bad coding, I didn't do it, but hey we've all done this.

    SELECT

    Case Field = 1234 field

    else 'text'

    From table.

    Field is defined as Varchar. One value happens to be 2-1044. The statement works on 7, abends on 2k. Put Quotes around the 1234 and it works.

    Just thought you might be interested.

  • Thanks to implicit conversions. Rule 4 never thrust a default-behaviour. And it strikes when you don't expect it.
