Conversion failed on value - sql-server

Who can help me on this?
select Battery_Volts
from ems
where Battery_Volts between 25 and 27
I am lost on this error:
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '25.19' to data type int.

If my guess is correct, and you're using a varchar to store a numerical value, you could also try:
where Battery_Volts between 25.00 and 27.00
If you get a further conversion error, I imagine you have non numerical values in your data, which opens a further can of worms.

Oracle, how to insert LONG RAW (a hex string is much longer than 32767) into BLOB in a query

for the hex strings <= 32767 I do:
DECLARE buf RAW(32767);
BEGIN
buf := hextoraw('3082560E3082488E1B02....');
INSERT INTO FINGERPRINT VALUES ('bff17a2c-49b7-4d6c-9c4e-56cb1d35c8c8', '00003', 2, buf, NULL);
END;
How to do the same way but if a string is longer than 32767? I tried to use LONG RAW instead of RAW(32767) but getting an error:
Error report -
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at line 1
06502. 00000 - "PL/SQL: numeric or value error%s"
*Cause: An arithmetic, numeric, string, conversion, or constraint error
occurred. For example, this error occurs if an attempt is made to
assign the value NULL to a variable declared NOT NULL, or if an
attempt is made to assign an integer larger than 99 to a variable
declared NUMBER(2).
*Action: Change the data, how it is manipulated, or how it is declared so
that values do not violate constraints.
Citing asktom:
In Oracle8i, releases 8.0 and up, you should not be using LONG RAW. Both LONG and LONG RAW are only provided for backwards compatibility -- they are deprecated datatypes.
You should be using blob
If it still produces error try working with:
dbms_lob.createtemporary
and then
dbms_lob.append

On Insert: Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int

I tried creating my third table of phone numbers, I wrote the following commands:
CREATE TABLE MYPHONE (EMPLOYEE_ID INT, PHONE_NUMBER INT)
INSERT INTO MYPHONE
VALUES (1 , 7894561230)
But when I tried executing this previous INSERT command, I got an error:
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 46
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int.
An int probably isn't the best data type for a phone number - you don't need to do any arithmetic on phone numbers, so why use a numerical data type? Store it as a string (or varchar in SQL).
Also, if you did need to store a value as an int, 2,147,483,647 is the maximum - anything higher would "overflow", hence the error you're getting. A long (or bigint in SQL) would allow values up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,808.
Allowed range of INT datatype is -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
You can get more details on the allowed range here
You are trying to insert beyond that range. For phone number better choose VARCHAR data type. If you still want to go for number, in that case use BIGINT instead of INT.

Arithmetic overflow error for select 2678400*1393 in SQL

select 2678400 * 1393
When I run this query, I'm getting this error in SQL Server:
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 23
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Since this result overflows the capacity of INT - use BIGINT instead:
SELECT CAST(2678400 AS BIGINT) * 1393

Unable to perform arithmetic operation in select statement in specific scenario

While I was doing some multiplication in select statements, I found a special case where SQL Server is throwing an arithmetic overflow error.
When I executed the same in W3Schools SQL window, it worked. Below is my query where it is throwing error. I tried multiple permutations and combinations but it failed in most of the cases
SELECT 20000000 * 130
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 4
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int.
Message window:
Output window:
Version information:
type int isn't enought, try float.
SELECT cast(20000000 as float) * cast(130 as float)
The result is the data type of the argument with the higher precedence. But if you have 2 int you can't get a float without casting
https://learn.microsoft.com/it-it/sql/t-sql/language-elements/multiply-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017
I had used float but bigint is the same
SELECT CAST(20000000 AS BIGINT) * 130

Arithmetic overflow on column sum in sql server

I'm trying to get a column total but when i run this query i get the following error. Any advice?
SELECT SUM(Size) as total
FROM AllDocs
Where DirName LIKE 'sites/test/test%'
ERROR:
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int.
Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation.
While all your sizes can fit into INT (up to 2^31 - 1), their SUM cannot.
Cast them into BIGINT:
SELECT SUM(CAST(Size AS BIGINT)) as total
FROM AllDocs
WHERE DirName LIKE 'sites/test/test%'
