Question

I’m encountering a very strange when I insert a new record into a table in my SQL SErver DB instance. I have the following simple query:

INSERT myTable (SerialNumber, PartNumber, IP, QA) VALUES ('123456789012', '1234567','192.168.1.1','1')

And the table I’m trying to modify:

SerialNumber - varchar(64) - Not_Null

PartNumber - varchar(64) - Null

IP- varchar(64) - Null

Col_1   - varchar(64)  - Null

Col_2   - bit - Null

Col_3   - bit - Null

QA  - bit - Null

Now when I run this query in SQL Server Management Studio I get the following error:

Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.

Nowhere in my table do I have a column with a datetime type, so I do not why I’m getting this error. Any help is appreciated.

I was unable to reproduce with the following script on sql server 2005

declare @myTable table
(
    SerialNumber varchar(64) Not Null,
    PartNumber  varchar(64)  Null,
    IP varchar(64)  Null,
    Col_1  varchar(64)  Null,
    Col_2  bit  Null,
    Col_3  bit  Null,
    QA  bit  Null
)

INSERT @myTable (SerialNumber, PartNumber, IP, QA) VALUES ('123456789012', '1234567','192.168.1.1','1')
select * from @myTable

It worked as expected … Can you double check to be sure that you don’t have a trigger on your table?
