MS SQL数据库，具有10m行，将列上的varchar转换为int

我们继承了一个数据库，它有1000万行和这样一个经常运行的查询：

SELECT SUM(CONVERT(INT,numSeconds)) AS total_dwell from [dbo].[Orders] 
where category='Shoes' AND CONVERT(INT,numSeconds)<300

numSeconds是一个整数，数字从0到2000，但列类型是nvarchar-我们需要在不丢失任何数据的情况下转换为INT，并且表非常庞大

关于我们如何做到这一点，有什么想法或建议吗？谢谢大家。

这是可行的，要么全有要么全无

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Ooopsie]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
    BEGIN
        DROP TABLE [dbo].[Ooopsie]
    END
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Ooopsie] (
      [OoopsieKey] [smallint] not null
    , OoopsieColumn varchar(64) not null
) 

GO



IF EXISTS ( SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA , TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Ooopsie' and TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo'    )
    BEGIN

        IF EXISTS 
        (
            SELECT * 
                FROM [INFORMATION_SCHEMA].[COLUMNS] 
            WHERE   
                TABLE_NAME = 'Ooopsie' 
                AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo'
                AND COLUMN_NAME = 'OoopsieColumn'
                        and DATA_TYPE != 'int'
        )
            BEGIN

                ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Ooopsie]
                ALTER COLUMN [OoopsieColumn] int NOT NULL;
            END


    END

GO

下面的方法可行，但不是原子的。如果更新失败，你就完了

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Ooopsie]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
    BEGIN
        DROP TABLE [dbo].[Ooopsie]
    END
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Ooopsie] (
      [OoopsieKey] [smallint] not null
    , OoopsieColumn varchar(64) not null
) 

GO


IF EXISTS ( SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA , TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Ooopsie' and TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo'    )
    BEGIN

        IF NOT EXISTS 
        (
            SELECT * 
                FROM [INFORMATION_SCHEMA].[COLUMNS] 
            WHERE   
                TABLE_NAME = 'Ooopsie' 
                AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo'
                AND COLUMN_NAME = 'OoopsieInt'
        )
            BEGIN

                ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Ooopsie]
                ADD [OoopsieInt] int NOT NULL;
            END


    END

GO


IF EXISTS 
(
    SELECT * 
        FROM [INFORMATION_SCHEMA].[COLUMNS] 
    WHERE   
        TABLE_NAME = 'Ooopsie' 
        AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo'
        AND COLUMN_NAME = 'OoopsieInt'
)
    BEGIN
        Update dbo.Ooopsie Set OoopsieInt = convert (int , OoopsieColumn) 
    END

GO



IF EXISTS 
(
    SELECT * 
        FROM [INFORMATION_SCHEMA].[COLUMNS] 
    WHERE   
        TABLE_NAME = 'Ooopsie'

        AND COLUMN_NAME = 'OoopsieColumn'

    BEGIN
                ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Ooopsie]
                DROP COLUMN [OoopsieColumn];
    END

        TABLE_NAME = 'Ooopsie' 
        AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo'
        AND COLUMN_NAME = 'OoopsieInt'
)
    BEGIN

        EXEC sp_rename
            @objname = 'Ooopsie.OoopsieInt',
            @newname = 'OoopsieColumn',
            @objtype = 'COLUMN'
            END

如果这不是键列，请将值转换为整数并更新为新列。然后根据需要重命名它
