contact 2 column

Hi I have 2 coloumn one hast char(Productname) type another has int type (Cu
stomerID)I want to contact them in my stored procedure like:
select Productname+CustomerID az newID
but I have error becouse one of them are int another in char ddo you have an
y idea?I suggest that you read about "Datatype Precedence" in Books Online. It will
explain what that fail. SQL
Server will try to convert the string to an int. You have to use an explicit
CAST:
SELECR Productname + CAST(CustomerID AS varchar(20))

CREATE TABLE #Test
(
col INT,
col1 VARCHAR(10)
)
GO
INSERT INTO #Test VALUES (1,'AA')
INSERT INTO #Test VALUES (2,'BB')
GO
SELECT CAST(col AS VARCHAR(10))+col1 FROM #Test
