When I run the sql query I got something like this :
Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type varbinary.... Use the CONVERT function to run this query. (severity 16)`
The data I want to insert looks like
'00001200000000000010000000000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF...FFF'
How to done this query?
Query looks like :
UPDATE <table> SET VARBINARY_DATA = '00001200000000000010000000000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF....' WHERE ID = 12
The VARBINARY type is similar to the VARCHAR type, but stores binary byte strings rather than non-binary character strings. M represents the maximum column length in bytes. It contains no character set, and comparison and sorting are based on the numeric value of the bytes.
To update data in a table, you need to: First, specify the table name that you want to change data in the UPDATE clause. Second, assign a new value for the column that you want to update. In case you want to update data in multiple columns, each column = value pair is separated by a comma (,).
Implicit conversion from data type varchar to varbinary is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. The problem is that the query plan hashes are already in binary format, however stored as VARCHAR in the XML Query Plan e.g.
From SQL Server 2005 onwards CONVERT does what you want:
CONVERT(varbinary(2000), '00001340132401324...', 2)
The styles for converting to/from binary are:
For converting characters to binary in format 0:
char
or varchar
data (e.g. ASCII, ISO-8859-1) become binary bytes. For single character encodings this means one byte per character.nchar
or nvarchar
data (i.e. UTF-16) become two bytes each, in big-endian format, so N'ABC'
becomes 0x410042004300
For converting hex to binary in formats 1 and 2:
