I think that what "lossless" mean in this context is up to interpretation. In some sense, all conversions are lossful. For example, both '1.0' and '1' are converted to 1 and it is not possible to determine whether the original string was '1.0' or '1'. <pre> SELECT CAST('1.0' AS NUMERIC); -- 1 SELECT CAST('1' AS NUMERIC); -- 1 </pre> - login: "mrigger"
