I have this sql statement

Select * from TABLE1 as A , TABLE2 AS B where convert(char(30),A.Id) = B.Id

how can you see I have used the function Convert() to convert the Field A.Id to char, this is a Interger field, Field B.Id is Char, well the problem is when I run the Sql I am getting this error message
quote:
Incorrect syntax near '.'.

quote:
If object_id('tempdb..#R0856History') is not null
Drop table #R0856History



Anybody have an idea why I am getting this error message?

Thanks in advace

SSIS can be used in a similar way.
