It’s A Data Type Conversion Chart

hand circleThis may not be the coolest thing in the world, but it is quite useful.  From the annals of Books Online comes a poster with all of the data type conversions within SQL Server.  There are two versions – full color and grey scale.  And it can be printed in either 11 x 17 or 8.5 x 11 format.

Pretty exciting, huh?  Now don’t go saying I didn’t get you anything for the holidays.

    It just occurred to me that this would make a sweet DMV. from_type, to_type, conversion_desc.

      I agree. And I bet this data is already in the engine somewhere.
