Hey...I've been cracking head about this one all day, and I'm sure it's
an easy answer, but here goes:
I have a column entitled Sequ which is defined as a Decimal with
Precision 10 and Scale 5. In an ASP.NET page, I'm performing a
calculation which is inserted into the Sequ column. I'm doing a
response.write, which enables me to see that the numbers are in fact
being calculated correctly complete with a string of numbers after the
decimal, but when I pull the numbers out to use on the page or access
the table, Sequ lists all numbers as integers. I'm using a stored
procedure in which I'm declaring the @calc parameter (the calculated
value which is being inserted) as a Decimal -- I don't know what I'm
doing wrong. Help appreciated...thanks.
Hi,In the following query the calculator gives value 3.3 but the query returns 3.0 I need to get the decimal part also. i.e I need to get 3.3 as answer from the query. select cast(66/20 as decimal(6,2)) Need help.Thanks
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?
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?
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) iviczl
I'd like to convert a Decimal value into a string so that the entireoriginal value and length remains intact but there is no decimal point.For example, the decimal value 6.250 is selected as 06250.Can this be done?
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.
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 158203508540188236252EUR20BZK0030 Å“& 20060715 0001010100010101
1. I downloaded ChartFXRSTrial and created one chart, and able to deploy it in ReportServer, but the problem is the reports are not showing there, i checked the configuration of .dll files in the help provided by chartFX, but couldn't get anything, so could help me on this.
2. How to give Tooltip for the X- axis or Y- axis values in the ReportServer , i tried using chartproperties of .rdl file, but didnt understand it. can help me on this, and one more i tried with Dundas too, If im giving tooltip as #valy then, it is showing samething in reportserver instead the values of 'Y-axis'.
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 am having trouble the with the line below:SELECT AVG(CAST(RATE1 AS Decimal(9, 2))) AS Expr1i am trying to do an average on the column "rate1" and want only 2decimal points but the syntax i wrote doesn't do it. is theresomething i am missing or doing wrong?when i run the above syntax i get 7.246428 and i need it to be 7.2 iknow this is possible in SQL but for some reason cant figure it out.Any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks
Is there any disadvantages of using Decimal type as a primary key? Ifso, are there other data types that can hold large numbers (more thanan int can hold: 13 digits or so) and perform better as a Key field?Thanks.
I 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. Then i tried re-writing the query for insertiing the values, where i changed varchar(11) to numeric (11,2) but i got an error. "Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric."
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? Would I be better off altering the field in the table so that it has a data type of decimal? Thanks
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.
I have a money field in SQL that when i try and get the sum of it i cannot convert it to decimal. This was working now its not, and nothing was changed.Any reason for the error?

Hi, I am trying to get my string to 2 decimal places... Here is the code:string sumSQL = "SELECT CONVERT (float,sum(callTime)/count(callTime)) as CAVG FROM leads where agent = '" + agent + "' and " + dates.Text; SqlCommand sumCMD = new SqlCommand(sumSQL, conn2); object null1 = sumCMD.ExecuteScalar();if (null1 != null) {string avgS = sumCMD.ExecuteScalar().ToString();Response.Write(avgS + "<br>" + "</td></tr><tr>"); }
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, Stephen.
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.
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.
I am writing a simple shopping cart app and the price field is being rounded when inserted into the database.There is a textbox for the user to enter the price. A stored procedure is used to insert the line item info to the data base table. The field in the table is formatted as datatype decimal. Below is the stored procedure and the code that adds the value to the parameter. Any suggestions on where I am going wrong?<Code>CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_insert_CartDetail] ( @ReferenceNum [int], @Item [varchar](26), @Desc1 [varchar](27), @Desc2 [varchar](20), @Desc3 [varchar](30), @Desc4 [varchar](30), @Note [text], @Quantity [int], @DateOrdered [datetime], @SalesPrice [decimal], @DistCost [decimal], @SalesTaxable [smallint], @RequiredDate [datetime], @User1 [varchar](12), @User2 [varchar](12), @User3 [varchar](12), @User4 [varchar](12), @User5 [varchar](12), @User6 [varchar](12)) AS INSERT INTO [ToolCrib].[dbo].[CartDetail] ( [ReferenceNum], [Item], [Desc1], [Desc2], [Desc3], [Desc4], [Note], [Quantity], [DateOrdered], [SalesPrice], [DistCost], [SalesTaxable], [RequiredDate], [User1], [User2], [User3], [User4], [User5], [User6]) VALUES ( @ReferenceNum, @Item, @Desc1, @Desc2, @Desc3, @Desc4, @Note, @Quantity, @DateOrdered, @SalesPrice, @DistCost, @SalesTaxable, @RequiredDate, @User1, @User2, @User3, @User4, @User5, @User6)SqlCmdInsetCartDetail.Parameters("@SalesPrice").Value = CType(txtCost.Text, Decimal) </code>
I want to format a number, a decimal, with 2 figures afther the "," but all I get is zeroes behind it. It works if I replace "cart.GetTotalWeight(cartId)" by 12.12 for example, 12,12 does not work... It driving me crazy
dim cart = New ShoppingCartDB()TotalweightLbl.Text = string.Format("{0:n}", cart.GetTotalWeight(cartId)) the stored procedure... CREATE Procedure CMRC_ShoppingCartTotalweigh ( @CartID nvarchar (50), @Totalweight decimal (5,2) OUTPUT ) AS SELECT @Totalweight = SUM(Products.Unitweight * ShoppingCart.Quantity) FROM ShoppingCart, Products WHERE ShoppingCart.CartID = @CartID AND Products.ProductID = ShoppingCart.ProductIDGO the function....

We are having problems with rounding errors on large monetary calculations in sql server 6.5
The calculations include float fields (for volumes and unit of measure conversions in product movements). I was wondering if the float being "approximate" could be the problem.
IF it is, why would I want to store things as a float instead of a dec(28,14)? Is it faster to compute numbers stored as approximate binaries? Will we see a big performance hit if we switch some of the table`s field`s to decimals?
Currently writing a script to duplicate information in a database for a client. They have setup a userdefined table in our software that contains information that needs to go into the duplicate records. One particular column in this user defined table contains a decimal number in the 45mill range. The column that number is going into is an nVarchar column that requires a Hex value for our software.
Long story short (too late) I have been unable to find a system stored procedure that will convert the Decimal value into a Hexadecimal string.
Questions: Is there one I just haven't found?
Anyone know of one already written by someone in the Community?
Or stop wasting time looking because there isn't one so I better hurry up and get one written and tested before my project is due?
