title: Using IF IsNumeric as Argument
body: <p>i was wondering how to use IsNumeric in SQL, it's a bit different from VBScript, but i think i was able to get around it, ie:</p>
  
  <pre><code> IF 1 = ISNUMERIC('5675754674') 
   BEGIN 
   ...
   END
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Would this be a way around it?  What I really want to do is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>IF ISNUMERIC('5675754674')
  BEGIN 
  ... 
  END
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but that gives an error.  Example 1 seems to work, but just making sure i'm doing this right, wasn't able to find any good resources online about it. </p>
