Error converting data type varchar to bigint.
-
Hello Community,
I'm getting the following SQL error in Azure Synapse
Error converting data type varchar to bigint.
;WITH CTE1 AS
(
SELECT *,ROW_NUMBER()OVER(ORDER BY ts_primarysecondaryfocus)RowNum FROM [dbo].[account]
),CTE2 AS
(
SELECT *,ROW_NUMBER()OVER(ORDER BY ts_primarysecondaryfocus)RowNum FROM [dbo].[OptionsetMetadata]
)
SELECT C1.Id,C1.SinkCreatedOn,C1.SinkModifiedOn,C1.statecode,C1.statuscode
,CASE WHEN C1.ts_primarysecondaryfocus<>ISNULL(C2.ts_primarysecondaryfocus,'')THEN C2.ts_primarysecondaryfocus ELSE C1.ts_primarysecondaryfocus END AS ts_primarysecondaryfocus
,C1.customertypecode,C1.address1_addresstypecode,C1.accountclassificationcode,C1.ts_easeofworking
,CASE WHEN C1.ts_ukrow<>ISNULL(C2.ts_ukrow,'')THEN C2.ts_ukrow ELSE C1.ts_ukrow END AS ts_ukrow
,C1.preferredappointmenttimecode,C1.xpd_relationshipstatus,C1.ts_relationship
FROM CTE1 C1 LEFT JOIN CTE2 C2 ON C1.RowNum = C2.RowNumThe problem is, I don't know why Azure Synapse is trying to convert the Data Type to BIGINT.
Also, I don't know how to change the field to BIGINT in Azure Synapse.
I have posted this here because Azure Synapse SQL language is T-SQL
Any thoughts?

I should mention the table/view OptionsetMetadata was created as follows:
CREATE VIEW OptionsetMetadata
AS
with cte as (
select OptionsetName,
LocalizedLabel,
row_number()over(partition by optionsetname order by cast([option] as int)) as rn
from dataverse_montagu_org5a2bcccf.dbo.OptionsetMetadata
)
select
max(case when OptionSetName = 'participationtypemask' then LocalizedLabel end) as participationtypemask,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'instancetypecode' then LocalizedLabel end) as instancetypecode,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'donotpostalmail' then LocalizedLabel end) as donotpostalmail,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'donotfax' then LocalizedLabel end) as donotfax,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'donotphone' then LocalizedLabel end) as donotphone,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'ispartydeleted' then LocalizedLabel end) as ispartydeleted,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'donotemail' then LocalizedLabel end) as donotemail,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'ts_primarysecondaryfocus' then LocalizedLabel end) as ts_primarysecondaryfocus,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'customertypecode' then LocalizedLabel end) as customertypecode,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'address1_addresstypecode' then LocalizedLabel end) as address1_addresstypecode,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'accountclassificationcode' then LocalizedLabel end) as accountclassificationcode,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'ts_ukrow' then LocalizedLabel end) as ts_ukrow,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'preferredappointmenttimecode' then LocalizedLabel end) as preferredappointmenttimecode,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'address2_freighttermscode' then LocalizedLabel end) as address2_freighttermscode,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'ts_introducertype' then LocalizedLabel end) as ts_introducertype,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'accountcategorycode' then LocalizedLabel end) as accountcategorycode,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'paymenttermscode' then LocalizedLabel end) as paymenttermscode,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'preferredappointmentdaycode' then LocalizedLabel end) as preferredappointmentdaycode,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'businesstypecode' then LocalizedLabel end) as businesstypecode,
max(case when OptionSetName = 'industrycode' then LocalizedLabel end) as industrycode
from cte
group by rnPlease let me know if you need sample data

Yes, post DDL & sample data.
What data types are account.ts_ukrow & OptionsetMetadata.ts_ukrow? What data types are account.ts_primarysecondaryfocus & OptionsetMetadata.ts_primarysecondaryfocus ?
The CASE statements wrapping ISNULL() using empty string for those jumps out at me.
,CASE WHEN C1.ts_primarysecondaryfocus<>ISNULL(C2.ts_primarysecondaryfocus,'') THEN C2.ts_primarysecondaryfocus
ELSE C1.ts_primarysecondaryfocus
END AS ts_primarysecondaryfocus
,CASE WHEN C1.ts_ukrow <> ISNULL(C2.ts_ukrow,'') THEN C2.ts_ukrow
ELSE C1.ts_ukrow
END AS ts_ukrowMight be a problem if not varchar in both tables.

Here you go.
BTW, I think the problem is with NULLs

Something very strange is going on....
When I execute the code
;WITH CTE1 AS
(
SELECT *,ROW_NUMBER()OVER(ORDER BY ts_primarysecondaryfocus)RowNum FROM [dbo].[account]
),CTE2 AS
(
SELECT *,ROW_NUMBER()OVER(ORDER BY ts_primarysecondaryfocus)RowNum FROM [dbo].[OptionsetMetadata]
)
SELECT C1.Id,C1.SinkCreatedOn,C1.SinkModifiedOn,C1.statecode,C1.statuscode
,CASE WHEN CAST(C1.ts_primarysecondaryfocus AS VARCHAR(100))<>ISNULL(CAST(C2.ts_primarysecondaryfocus as VARCHAR(100)),'')THEN C2.ts_primarysecondaryfocus ELSE C1.ts_primarysecondaryfocus END AS ts_primarysecondaryfocus
,C1.customertypecode,C1.address1_addresstypecode,C1.accountclassificationcode,C1.ts_easeofworking
,CASE WHEN CAST(C1.ts_ukrow AS VARCHAR(100)) <>ISNULL(C2.ts_ukrow,'')THEN C2.ts_ukrow ELSE C1.ts_ukrow END AS ts_ukrow
,C1.preferredappointmenttimecode,C1.xpd_relationshipstatus,C1.ts_relationship
FROM CTE1 C1 LEFT JOIN CTE2 C2 ON C1.RowNum = C2.RowNumOn Azure Synapse SQL DW I get NULLs, where I should be getting data i.e the value TBC, see image
But on my personal SQL Server I get the value i.e TBC - using the exact same code.
How strange
-
This is soooooo strange
-
I should point out that account and OptionsetMetadata are both views on Azure Synapse, but I'm not sure if that would make a difference??
-
Any further thoughts?
-
I don't know... I don't work with anything having to do with Azure.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Is it possible that the optimiser is confused by the absence of else in the case statements in the OptionsetMetadata view? Possibly it thinks there will be a null returned, even if the data make it impossible, and it thinks one or more of those nulls is a bigint. I know this is a long shot, but does changing the case statements like this help?
max(case when OptionSetName = 'participationtypemask' then LocalizedLabel else cast null as varchar(100)) end) as participationtypemask,

I'll try anything at this stage ... going to try it now.
-
Getting the following error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'null'.
-
A simple typo I think. If you have just used copy/paste from Ed B's suggested code, the CAST needs a starting paranteses, i.e. CAST(NULL AS VARCHAR(100))
-
Still getting NULLs.
I really haven't got a clue at this stage
Thanks for trying
