Error code
SQL Server 245
SQL SERVER245
Database Error Code· An error code returned by a database server such as PostgreSQL or MySQL.
What it means
conversion failed when converting to a data type — type mismatch.
How to fix it
- Use TRY_CONVERT or TRY_CAST to handle conversion failures gracefully and return NULL instead of an error.
- Validate input values for the correct type and format before executing the query.
- Add explicit CAST or CONVERT calls with the correct style parameter for date/number conversions.
