  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.
