How to convert VARCHAR to SMALLINT using DB2?

Hi, guys:
I am trying to do some comparison in my sql code:
A.mySmallInt = B.mySmallIntAsString
Unfortunately, mySmallInt is stored as 1, 2, 3, ..... while
mySmallIntAsString is stored as '1', '2', '3'......
I am wondering if there is a DB2 function that can directly
convert a string into an interger or vice versa?
thanks a lot

I believe you can use CAST(B.mySmallIntAsString AS DECIMAL).

The normal situation would be wanting to convert .m4a (AAC or Apple Lossless) to .mp3 as these are both music file formats. The extension .mp4 is normally for a video file and iTunes itself will only convert music files from one format to another.
For details on how to convert between music formats see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550
If you want to convert the audio track of an .mp4 video to a .mp3 file then you are going to need to use a different utility.

1 ---------10
2 ---------10a

i want to convert varchar to int. HOw? pls explain with query.

"10a" wouldn't normally be considered a number. So what sort of number do you expect it to be?
Other than that you can look at the substring and convert/cast functions.

Pocket Playlist- how to convert mp4 file to use on pocket playlist

I have an mp4 video that i would like to use on my pocket playlist, but not sure how to convert the file?

Hello Andy,
I do not have an HP Pocket drive but according to the manual...
The pocket acts as any other drive to store files on. Its the media player that you use that has to support the type of file you are playing.
This is cut from the manual.
"File types supported by HP Pocket PlaylistYour playback device may not support all of the following formats. If your playback device does not support a format, use the ArcSoft MediaConverter 7 computer application to convert (transcode) the files into a format that will play back on your mobile device.
HP Pocket Playlist supports the following file formats:
Video: .avi, .3gp, .flv, .m4v, .m4p, .mov, mp4, .mpeg, .mpeg2, .mpg, .ogg, .qt, .ts, .tts, .wmv
Music: .aac, .ac3, .adts, asf, .lpcm, .m4a, .mp3, wav, wma
Photo: .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .png, .tiff, .tif
You need to import files with the "Arcsoft Media Converter" which will convert the format for you.
Here are the links to all the info for HP Pocket Drives.

   add_months(trunc(sysdate, 'yyyy'), 12) next_year_start,
   trunc(sysdate, 'q') quarter_start,
   add_months(trunc(sysdate, 'q'), 3) next_quarter_start,

How to convert JPEG - PNG images using java?

Hi,
Has anyone done this before?
Can you provide me with a sample code or point me to the direction on how this can be done?
Are there any existing Java technology that supports this?
Most grateful. Thanks.

It's should be easy using Java Advanced Imaging (JAI). Try this.
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
import javax.media.jai.RenderedOp;
public class convert {
static public void main(String[] args) {
    String inName = args[0];
    String outName = args[1];
    RenderedOp source = JAI.create("fileload", inName);
    JAI.create("filestore", source, outName, "PNG", null);
    System.exit(0);

How to convert VHS to DVD using FCP 7?

Hello. For a brief, non-technical, introduction: I have dozens of family VHS tapes that I'd like to convert into a digital format where I can edit them and eventually transfer them onto an external hard drive and possibly DVDs as well. Ideally, I'd love to do all of the logging, capturing, and editing in FCP, but I am having difficulty figuring out set up and proper format conversions to obtain the best results. I am not a computer wizard, so a "Just-For-Dummies" walk through would be greatly appreciated.
My questions are:
1) What should my flowchart of devices be from VCR to FCP? (ie: converters, cables, inside FCP setup)
2) What is the best video format for VHS to digital conversion?
Here are the specs for devices I currently possess. I realize I may need to purchase more, but this is what I have to work with at the moment.
MacBook Pro: Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. | Processsor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 | Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Final Cut Pro 7.0.3
VCR: Toshiba SD-v295ku (output is Red, White, Yellow RCA)
ION Video 2 PC converter: RCA cables to USB (this is already installed on my Mac and has successfully worked for video capture alone)
Sony Digital Handycam DCR-TRV330
My Passport 2TB Hard Drive
Thank you so much in advance for any help you can offer.

Buppas
Getting out of my depth here a bit.
I do have FCP 6 but have not used it much at all.
There are many people here that are more able than me who may come to your rescue but anyway here are a few suggestions to try.
Sony can be set to one of 2 audio modes, 12bit=32kHz, or 16bit=48kHz.Ensure set to 16bit , around page 85.
Capture has to match 16bit=48kHz.
In FCP7 User Preferences >General check box "Abort capture on dropped frames.On timecode break Make New Clip ".
Also in Preferences> General I noticed this but not sure if it will help...Check box "Sync audio capture to video source if present".
Coming back to the Sony, and still stabbing in the dark, there is a Time Base Corrector (TBC) setting that you could try both on and off.
Also,do not start and stop the VHS player frequently; let it run through from start to end if you can to avoid breaks.
Another option but not ideal.
What happens when you import into iMovie, do you still get out of sync?
If you dont then you could import to iMovie and then import the DV file/files to FCP7.
This will not take up double the space as FCP7 references the files in iMovie.
Other than this you could try a "search communities" or hope for more suggestions to come in.
Good Luck.

How to convert varchar to date?

Hello everyone, I'm new to OBIEE and I'm running into a roadblock...
I have a date that is stored in a varchar2 column in the physical table, like so: 20071225
Silly I know, but that's what I'm dealing with.
Anyway, I want to create a logical column in the business model (using the Administration tool) and convert it to a date so that I can do date arithmetic with it, but TO_DATE doesn't seem to be supported.
In Oracle SQL would do this (I'm using XE):
SELECT SYSDATE - TO_DATE('20050101', 'YYYYMMDD') FROM DUAL
Is there any way to accomplish this same thing in the OBIEE? I see the CAST function, but there doesn't seem to be any way to cast a string to a date?

The original post is 4 years old - I am sure the poster must have figured it out by this time... obiee 11g supports a To_Datetime function though! thanks!
