Interger Concatenation

Hey,
Does anyone know how to do integer concatenation using sql?
Say for instance I have 2004 and 12, I need 200412 and not 2016.
Can this be done?
ThanksDECLARE @.x int, @.y int
SELECT @.x = 2004, @.y = 12
SELECT CONVERT(int,(CONVERT(varchar(15),@.x) + CONVERT(varchar(15),@.y)))|||Thanks for the reply,

But what about if what I am doing is using the datepart function.

ex.

datepart("yy", '12/12/2004') + datepart("mm", '12/12/2004')

I need 200412.

Still work the same way?

Thanks|||I could have said yes and yes and have answered the questions you aske dwith that. However, turn them into character strings and then concatenate the results.

i.e.
declare @.year int, @.month int, @.result varchar(50)
select @.year = 2004, @.month = 12
select @.result = convert(varchar(20),@.year) + convert(varchar(20),@.month
select @.result|||Ya know...it's alot easier to get you the right answer when you ask the right question.

Please don't tell me you're going to store this data in a table though

SELECT CONVERT(varchar(4),DATEPART(yy, '12/12/2004')) + CONVERT(varchar(2),DATEPART(mm, '12/12/2004'))|||Ya, I guess the right question makes for the right answer.

And nope, its not going in a table, just needs it to make some comparisons.

Thanks for the help.|||Ya, I guess the right question makes for the right answer.

Thanks for the help.

Compare it to what? To data that looks like that in some other table?

That'll scan for sure...|||Actually, I am in the process of upgrading a reporting system the uses two date inputs to bring back the correct timeframe of data, say from 11/01/2004 to 11/30/2004, but what happens now is that if you went from one year to the next say from 11/01/2004 to 02/30/2005 is crashes. So I was given the task to fix this.

As it works now, it only uses the month part of the date to make comparsions. It only scans for data between the months of the initial date input.

Eventually I will have to comapre full years, but for now I just needs to get it working from year to year.

Any suggestions?|||...forest for the trees, gentlemen:

convert(char(6), cast('12/12/04' as datetime), 112)

...or if it already a datetime value, then just:

convert(char(6), [YourValue], 112)

...but I suspect from your last post that you should not be converting this at all, and that you are better off using SQL Server's rich set of date functions than converting this to a six character string. Give us an example of the BETWEEN statement that you are using...|||This is the table (should be a temp table) where the months between the dates are stored for comparsion

create table monthspan(currentmonth int)

declare @.monthCount int
set @.monthCount = datepart(mm, @.FromDate)
while (@.monthCount <= datepart(mm, @.ToDate))
BEGIN
insert monthspan select @.monthCount
set @.monthCount = @.monthCount + 1
END|||I'm assuming the actual data is in date form...

You should be using DATEDIFF|||How would using DATEDIFF work if I needed to compare values to it?|||USE Northwind
