For the remainder of this post, I’m going to limit myself to talking about FileMaker Server. Converting Integer Convert string that has value like integer, example '239' or '45'. Description Use acast or dcast depending on whether you want vector/matrix/array output or data frame output. If using a database such as Sybase or SQL Server, many users change the statement separator value from semi-colon to GO. but I tried it anyway just to see and it worked (in RazorSQL that is). The default value for the statement separator is the semi-colon. Yea, when I first posted the question I didnt see CAST() in any reference material I was using. NOTE: The statement separator value set in the preferences is used by RazorSQL when parsing the SQL editor contents. But the process of converting data type is different and you must know the concept of conversion in Razor markup. cast: Cast functions Cast a molten data frame into an array or data frame. How RazorSQL determines which query to execute. If you are working with a standalone database, you can only connect from RazorSQL to your solution on the same machine. You can use all the C or VB data types in Razor Syntax as the way you use in programming. RazorSQL connects to FileMaker via the ODBC interface, so you have to have that enabled in your standalone solution or FileMaker Server. Once you have your query perfected in RazorSQL, you can then build it in FileMaker, knowing that you have the basic query correct. With regard to the last issue, RazorSQL is a nice tool for working directly with your FileMaker solution to very quickly test SQL code. On the down side, you have to be very careful about its impact on your application’s performance and building SQL queries in FileMaker’s calculation dialog is challenging. It can help keep your relationship graph simpler, allow you to query data without changing your context, and makes virtual lists easier to build among other things. If the conversion fails, the function will return an error. The advantages and disadvantages of SQL in FileMaker are pretty well known. Description In SQL Server (Transact-SQL), the CAST function converts an expression from one datatype to another datatype. It also allows users to specify text formatting such as text wrapping, upper casing, and indenting. In the early days it required a 3rd party plugin, but since version 12 we’ve been able to run SQL Select statements against our FileMaker data with the native Execute SQL function. RazorSQL includes an SQL Formatter tool that can be used to insert line breaks in user-customized areas such as before and/or after commas, SQL keywords, brackets, AND/OR, etc. ![]() Developer’s have been able to run SQL queries against their FileMaker data for many years. ![]()
