create table table1(
data_value varchar (50),
sql_data_type varchar (50)
)
insert into table1(data_value,sql_data_type)
values ('11/02/2013', 'DATE')
insert into table1(data_value,sql_data_type)
values ('', 'DATE')
insert into table1(data_value,sql_data_type)
values (11.3, 'decimal')
insert into table1(data_value,sql_data_type)
values ('not assigned', 'DATE')
insert into table1(data_value,sql_data_type)
values (null, 'varchar')
insert into table1(data_value,sql_data_type)
values ($, 'varchar')
From these information i need to check wether data_value follow the sql_data_type shown data type.If not they should be moved to another table.
UGH. With what you have here you are almost forced to use a loop/cursor to read this row by agonizing row with a try/catch block inside each iteration.
Let's consider a couple other real world issues with dates. You have '11/02/2013'. This is fine and will be able to be cast a date with most settings. But what about if you dmy instead of mdy. '13/02/2013' is perfectly valid IF your dateformat is dmy but fails if you dateformat is mdy.
