Concatenate int & var char - SQL

Hi,

I am trying to write some simple SQL to join two fields within a table, the primary key is an int and the other field is a varchar.

But i am receiving the error:

'Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ',' to data type int.

The SQL I am trying to use is:

select game_no + ',' + team_name as match
from result

Thanks

As the error message says you can concatenate similar datatype values and use CONVERT or CAST functions otherwise to make them simialr.

selectConvert(Varchar,game_no)+','+ team_nameas match

from result

Yep. Why the parser is so stupid that it assumes the presence of one number means all other exprssions must evaluate to a number, rather than the other way around, is a mystery to me.
