Hi !
I'm doing something like :
SELECT AVG(timeConsumed) as average_time_consumed
FROM table1 where ...
The value return is 42, however if i do this using a calculator the result is 42,39583
How can i get the decimal part ?
I have tried this : AVG(timeConsumed)*1.0, but the value returned is 42.0
Hello,
Below statement in tsql returns int value (0).
SELECT 5/10
How to force it to return decimal value (0.5)?
I tried following but it did not help me
1) SELECT Convert(numeric(7,2),5/10)
2) Declare @Var1 numeric(7,2)
SET @Var1 = SELECT Convert(numeric(7,2),5/10)
SELECT @Var1
Thanks.
Hi. I have a query that returns several averages and percentages. Is there some way to set up the query so the results only go to 2 decimal places? Here is a sample of the query I am using:
Code:
$query = "SELECT COUNT(deal_id), SUM(vs), SUM(vs)/COUNT(deal_id)*100, AVG(fin) FROM sales GROUP BY salesperson";
It works great,except the results are several decimal places long, and I need it to be only 2.
Any help appreciated.

Never mind, I found it muhself....
FORMAT(AVG(fin),2) works perfectly!!
I've been trying to create a function that returns the difference, in months, between two dates. The DateDiff function (m) returns an integer, but I really need a decimal. I could return the days instead, but it would be difficult to figure out how the number of months from this, especially when the dates span multiple years and I need to adjust for leap year. Does anyone know of a resource that might have a solution for this?
Thanks,
Rob
I am trying to have an Excecute SQL Task return a single row result set executed on SQL Server 2005.
The query in the Execute SQL Task is:
select 735.234, 2454.123
I get a conversion error when trying to assign to SSIS variables of type Double.
I have nothing configured in the "Parameter Mapping" tab.
I have the two SSIS Double variables mapped to the Tesult Name 0 and 1 in the "Result Set" tab
I don't want to use a for loop enumerator since there is a single row returned.
I simply want to assign these two values to SSIS Double variables (double is the closest match)
I can't even hack this by converting the decimals as string and then using DirectCast to convert them to Double.
Thanks for the help
I am working with a legacy SQL server database from SQL Server 2000. I noticed that in some places that they use decimal data types, that I would normally think they should be using integer data types. Why is this does anyone know?
Example: AutomobileTypeId (PK, decimal(10,0), not null)
I am creating a table on SQL Server. One of the columns in this new table contains whole integer as wells as decimal values (i.e. 4500 0.9876). I currently have this column defined as Decimal(12,4). This adds 4 digits after the decimal point to the whole integers. Is there a data type that will have the decimal point only for decimal values and no decimal point for the whole integers?

My database stores the decimals in Spanish format; "," (comma) as decimal separator.
I need to convert decimal nvarchar values (with comma as decimal separator) as a decimal or int.
Any Case using CAST or CONVERT, For Decimal or Int gives me the following error:
Error converting data type varchar to numeric
Any knows how to resolve.
Or any knows any parameter or similar, to indicate to the Cast or Convert, that the decimal separator is a comma instead a dot.
Hello!
I would like to cast (convert) data type decimal(24,4) to
decimal(21,4). I could not do this using standard casting function
CAST(@variable as decimal(21,4)) or CONVERT(decimal(21,4),@variable)
because of the following error: "Arithmetic overflow error converting
numeric to data type numeric." Is that because of possible loss of the
value?
Thanks for giving me any advice,

I wanted to convert a dataset from vb.net (2.0) to an .XLS file, by MS Jet. My national standard is using decimal commas, not decimal points for numbers signing the beginning of decimal places.
But the MS Jet Engine uses decimal point,in default. Therefore, in the Excel file only string formatted cells can welcome this data, not number formatted.
How can I solve or get around this problem? (with jet if it possible)

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I am designing some reports for a German branch of my company and need to replace decimal point with a comma and the thousand comma seperator with a decimal point.
e.g.
‚¬1,500,123.00 to ‚¬1.500.123,00
Is there a property that I can change in the report designer to allow this to happen or is this something I need to convert in a Stored Proc.
Any help would be much appreciated

I need to store decimal values: decimal(20,15) in my SQL Server 2005 database.
I load data from flat file, convert it using Data Conversion Task to decimal(with scale: 15) and try to save it using OLE DB Destination.
It works fine for 4 digits after the decimal (like 1.1234), but always failes for more than 4 digits (1.12345).
Is the decimal limited to scale 4 ???
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I am having a file in which amount fields are given in a Packed Decimal format. Can anyone suggest me how I can read this data element from the file and convert it into SQL decimal datatype.
File is a fixed length. All the amount fields are given in Packed Decimal Format and rest of the fields are given in text format.
How can i identify and convert only those packed decimals using SQL/.Net.
Example : a row in a file that has some packed decimals

I have a package that I have been attempting to return a error code after the stored procedure executes, otherwise the package works great.
I call the stored procedure from a Execute SQL Task (execute Marketing_extract_history_load_test ?, ? OUTPUT)
The sql task rowset is set to NONE. It is a OLEB connection.
I have two parameters mapped:
tablename input varchar 0 (this variable is set earlier in a foreach loop) ADO.
returnvalue output long 1
I set the breakpoint and see the values change, but I have a OnFailure conditon set if it returns a failure. The failure is ignored and the package completes. No quite what I wanted.
The first part of the sp is below and I set the value @i and return.
CREATE procedure [dbo].[Marketing_extract_history_load_TEST]
@table_name varchar(200),
@i int output
as
Why is it not capturing and setting the error and execute my OnFailure code? I have tried setting one of my parameter mappings to returnvalue with no success.

I'm a Reporting Services New-Be.
I'm trying to create a report that's based on a SQL-2005 Stored Procedure.
I added the Report Designer, a Report dataset ( based on a shared datasource).
When I try to build the project in BIDS, I get an error. The error occurs three times, once for each parameter on the stored procedure.
I'll only reproduce one instance of the error for the sake of brevity.
[rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the query parameter 'UserID' contains an error : [BC30654] 'Return' statement in a Function, Get, or Operator must return a value.
I've searched on this error and it looks like it's a Visual Basic error :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8x403818(VS.80).aspx
My guess is that BIDS is creating some VB code behind the scenes for the report.
I can't find any other information that seems to fit this error.
The other reports in the BIDS project built successfully before I added this report, so it must be something specific to the report.
BTW, the Stored Procedure this report is based on a global temp table. The other reports do not use temp tables.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks,
I am trying to bring my stored proc's into the 21st century with try catch and the output clause. In the past I have returned info like the new timestamp, the new identity (if an insert sproc), username with output params and a return value as well. I have checked if error is a concurrency violation(I check if @@rowcount is 0 and if so my return value is a special number.)
I have used the old goto method for trapping errors committing or rolling back the transaction.
Now I want to use the try,catch with transactions. This is easy enough but how do I do what I had done before?
I get an error returning the new timestamp in the Output clause (tstamp is my timestamp field -- so I am using inserted.tstamp).
Plus how do I check for concerrency error. Is it the same as before and if so would the check of @@rowcount be in the catch section?
So how to return timestamp and a return value and how to check for concurrency all in the try/catch.
by the way I read that you could not return an identity in the output clause but I had no problem.
Thanks for help on this

Anybody noticed that SQL Server rounds up if the value is half waybetween two rounded values, but C#'s Decimal.Round(Decimal,Int32)rounds to nearest even number?[color=blue]>From MSDN: "When d is exactly halfway between two rounded values, the[/color]result is the rounded value that has an even digit in the far rightdecimal position. For example, when rounded to two decimals, the value2.345 becomes 2.34 and the value 2.355 becomes 2.36. This process isknown as rounding toward even, or rounding to nearest."I perform the same calculation sometimes on the web server in C# andsometimes at the database in T-SQL, but want to get the same resultfrom both calculations. Could anybody offer any strategies for dealingwith this?Thanks ~ Matt

I have a stored procedure that selects the unique Name of an item from one table.Â
SELECT DISTINCT ChainName from Chains
For each ChainName, there exists 0 or more StoreNames in the Stores. I want to return the result of this select as the second field in each row of the result set.
SELECT DISTINCT StoreName FROM Stores WHERE Stores.ChainName = ChainName
Each row of the result set returned by the stored procedure would contain:
ChainName, Array of StoreNames (or comma separated strings or whatever)
How can I code a stored procedure to do this?
Is there a way to create a SP or UDF that converts a decimal number to hexidecimal notation?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI imported some feilds from a text file. Most of which i set to varchar. However, I want one of the feilds to have 2 decimal places.
I tried changing it in the table design after the import and nothing changed.

I just created a new table in my database. One of the fields in that table has a data type of money. Would my C# code be better off referring to this field as SqlMoney or as a decimal and why?

Hi guys,I've got a table with one of the columns 'ConversionRate' declared as decimal. The value for this column is defined as 1.45. In my vb file, I tried to retrieve the value using a SqlParameter as shown below:myConversionRate = Me.SqlCommand.Parameters.Add(Sql.StoredProcParameter.ConversionRate, SqlDbType.Decimal)myConversionRate.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output which will access the following query in my stored proc: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.Charge
@PConversionRate DECIMAL = 0 OUTPUT
AS
SELECT @PConversionRate = ConversionRate,
FROM TblCharge
For some reasons, the value returned is always 1 instead of 1.45. Anyone experienced this problem before and knows how to resolve it? Thanks in advance.

Hi all - am in a bit of a quandry over this one!My application is all up and running - it's an despact & accounts app - I've missed one thing though - the ability to deal with half pennies (or half cents for those of you over the pond ;))
All of my tables are set up as decimal (19,2) along with all the params in my stored procs (a lot!). Is there an easy way to change all of these in 1 swoop?
Thanks in advance,

Hi i have a insert stored procedure, which i need to insert a label.text which is 12.99
the problem i have is that it is inserting as 13.00 any ideas what i need to do??Dim Price As Decimal = CostLabel.Text then i am inserting with this param....
command113.Parameters.Add("@Cost", SqlDbType.Decimal).Value = Price
Im trying to insert a decimal into SQL 2000 using a stored procedure. I can successfully insert it using a direct T-SQL statement inside the code, but I cant insert it correctly when calling for a stored procedure.
For instance 12.5 will insert as 12.
Here is my SQL Parameter code:
[code]
MyCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Num", SqlDbType.Decimal))
MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Precision = 5
MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Scale = 2
MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Value = Convert.ToDecimal(TextBox1.Text)
[/code]
I also declared @Num to be a decimal in my Stored Procedure.
As you can see I give the Parameter more than enough detail about the data type as well as convert the textbox value to a decimal, but it still rounds the value to an integer like data.
Again using a direct T-SQL statement inside the code works OK, but the stored procedure will not.
ANyone got any ideas why this is happening.
Hi
I'm inserting a decimal value into my db but it keeps round it of to a single figure. Its the result of time between two times. ie between 1:00 and 2:30 equals 2.5. But it ends up as 2 in the db even though the db field is also decimal. I know by looking at the watch in the bugger that its actually a decimal value just prior to insertion which only leads me to suspect that sql server is doing the rounding of, maybe this is the default behaviour but i need it to store the values as decimal.
