I have a long for example 144936903694469 and in java i have (int)(id>> 32) & 0xFFFFFFFF. I should get returned 3375 . so I wrote this..

declare @something bigint;
set @something=144936903694469
select (@something / power(2,32)) & 0xFFFFFFFF

That seems wrong but not sure what I need to do or if I am missing something. I did Google it and thats as much as i came up with.

Ideas? Thank you.

You're better off avoiding bit shifting in SQL Server. If you absolutely have to support it your best bet is to create a CLR function for it.

the power function can only handle up 2 ^ 30 since it can only return an int (2 ^ 31)-1. So maybe

declare @something bigint;
set @something=144936903694469
select (@something / power(2,30))/4 & 0xFFFFFFFF

If you cast it as bigint, you can do:

select POWER(cast(2 as bigint),62)

However the bitwise operators only work up to 32 bits.
