ISNUMERIC('07213E71') = True?

Question

SQL is detecting that the following string ISNUMERIC:

\'07213E71\'

I believe this is because the \'E\' is being classed as a mathmatical symbol.

Answer 1

You have to ensure it out of the call to the database, whatever the language you work with, and then pass the value to the query. Probably the SQL is understanding that value as a string.
