This will convert an integer to a binary string representation.
Range (bigint) -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807
64-bit maximum result. The second parameter specifies the string length of the result.
Examples:
SELECT [dbo].[ConvertIntToBinaryString] (15, 8)
returns 00001111
SELECT [dbo].[ConvertIntToBinaryString] (15, 4)
returns 1111
It works by first converting the number to HEX and then replacing each hex digit with its binary equivalent.
