Re: Inserting to a bigint data type in Sybase using prepare statements

in reply to Inserting to a bigint data type in Sybase using prepare statements

Hello j_ochoa,

Welcome to the monastery. From what I see from your error message: Couldn't prepare statement: Server message number=257 severity=16 state=1 line=0 server=DEVEL1 procedure=DBD3 text=Implicit conversion from datatype 'VARCHAR' to 'BIGINT' is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. it looks like the db is configured to accept 'VARCHAR' on this field that you are trying to insert the data.

Update: Sorry wrong answer. I did not see the token_id column is a bigint data type.

I do not have a sysbase db on my box so I can replicate and verify the error. Can you export the db so we can see the fields, or simply check the field if it is 'VARCHAR'?

You can try to convert it fellow monk poj posted bellow. Or try to convert it something like:

my $int = '123'; $int += 0; # convert to int not string any more

OR:

$int = int($int); # converted

OR:

$int = sprintf("%d", $int); # converted

Looking forward to your update, BR.

    Hello thanos,

    Thank you for taking a look into this.

    Sorry for not posting the db table but as you can imagine it is a bit sensitive info.

    However, I have double checked and the database column is set up as BIGINT and allow nulls. I also don't see any other constraints

    To me it looks like Perl DBI is sending a VARCHAR to Sybase engine even though I am using SQL_BIGINT in the bind_param method

    BR JO
      I know this is an old thread but ... I am running into this same problem right now.
