Let's say I have a number in the german number format "1,00" which is equal to 1.0 in the en-US locale. Is there a built-in way to convert this text in T-SQL to the corresponding number?

I've been bashing my head against this to no avail. I need to shrink some large PDFs to print on an 8.5x11 inch (standard letter) page. Can imagemagick/ghostscript handle this sort of thing, or am I having so much trouble because I'm using the wrong tool for the job? Just relying on the 'shrink to page' option in client-side print dial...
My table has a timestamp column named "RowVer" which LINQ maps to type System.Data.Linq.Binary.

IEnumerable<UserSession> rows = db.UserSessions.Where ( usr => ...

I'd like to pass a value type to a function and set it to a repeating bit pattern (FF, AA, etc.) across the entire width of the variable. Right now, I'm passing the value with void foo(T val) where T : struct so I can use any value type. The problem is, the compiler won't let me use sizeof(T), because T could be a reference type (exc...
Is there any way for me to test a data conversion in a select statement and only return rows where the conversion fails? IE: SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE CONVERT(datetime, [colA]) = NULL I'm open to any SQL hacks/trickery. ...

So far I've discovered I can convert incoming BSTRs to ANSI in two (of many?) ways, and I'm curious to know whether one is "better" than the other with respect to speed / efficiency etc. The way I've been using for a while is use the USES_CONVERSION and W2A macros, e.g. BSTR __stdcall F(BSTR p1, BSTR p2 ) { USES_CONVERSION; LP...
