How can I translate the following to its equivalent in TSQL?
Code:
IIF(CONVERT(age, int) < 18 AND ltrim(rtrim(age)) <> '', CONVERT(1, SQL_BIT), CONVERT(0, SQL_BIT)) AS IsJuvenile

Case When CONVERT(int, age) < 18
Then CONVERT(Bit, 1)
Else CONVERT(Bit, 0)
End AS IsJuvenile

You don't need the additional check for empty string because SQL Server converts an empty string to 0.
See...
Select Convert(int, '')
You will need to be a little careful about strings that can't be converted to int, like....
Select Convert(int, 'Older than dirt.')
[red][tt]Syntax error converting the varchar value 'Old enough to know better' to a column of data type int.[/tt][/red]
