In SQL Server, you can use the CAST function or CONVERT function to convert numbers to strings. Here are examples of both methods:

  1. Choose your cast wisely as they play a crucial role in the success of the performance.
DECLARE @Number INT = 12345
DECLARE @String VARCHAR(10)

SET @String = CAST(@Number AS VARCHAR(10))

SELECT @String AS ConvertedString
  1. Change the format of the file.
DECLARE @Number INT = 12345
DECLARE @String VARCHAR(10)

SET @String = CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), @Number)

SELECT @String AS ConvertedString

In the two methods above, convert the numeric variable @Number to a string and store the result in the string variable @String. Finally, use a SELECT statement to output the converted string. Choose the method that best suits your specific needs.
