Converting A Data Type Double To A Type Float Using A Data Adapter && SSCE 3.5
Feb 13, 2008
Hi,
I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:
hello anyone... i got this message "Error converting data type varchar to float" when i was trying to insert values into table using instead of trigger...
below is my table ClimateData

I have created a stored procedure that contain this field (below) inorder to meet certain criteria. But my problem is when I try to runthe stored procedure I encounter an error "Error converting data typevarchar to float".CASE Final WHEN 0 THEN '--' ELSE Final END AS FinalGradeThe Final field is a float data type.Could anyone teach me how to fix this problem?
In the following code I want to compare 2 values: AccessVal and SQLVal. The values are stored as nvarchars, so I'm isolating the numeric values in a subquery. Notice I'm only selecting 1 row. The commented line, where I compare the values, is throwing the error.
SELECT QA_AutoID, AccessVal, SQLVal ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) as AccessFloat ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) as SQLFloat FROM QA WHERE QA_AutoID in ( SELECT TOP 1 QA_AutoID FROM QA WHERE ISNUMERIC(SQLVal) = 1 AND ISNUMERIC(AccessVal) = 1 ) --AND ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) <> ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) ORDER BY ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) DESC ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) DESC
Here is the output with the comparison commented out...
Here's what I get with the comparison line activated:
I've tried converting to numeric, int and bigint instead of float. I've tried CAST instead of CONVERT. Nothing works.
We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
Hi,I would like to convert a dollar amount ($1,500) to represent Fifteenhundred dollars and 00/100 cents only for SQL reporting purposes. Isthis possible and can I incorporate the statement into an existingleft outer join query.Thanks in advance,Gavin
What data type in SQL server can be used in place of a double data type?? I don't even know what a double data type is but got a request to create a column with a data type of double.
I am using SQL Server 7.0. I create a table with one field..type of float. Using SQL Server Query Analyzer: INSERT INTO MyTable(MyField) VALUES (4.9) INSERT INTO MyTable(MyField) VALUES (Round(4.9,2))
SELECT * FROM MyTable
Result = 4.9000000000000004
This is a basic example of a problem I am having in another table with the same float field that I am using to store money in. I don't want to use the money field as the BDE from Borland has some issues with money fields. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
We are using a GL package called Solomon. It uses SQL Server 7.0 for it's database. I want to create a data warehouse using this data as the source. The package uses the float data type for dollar amounts. The dollar amounts in the data have either no numbers, 1 number, or 2 numbers after the decimal point. Is the float data type the best one to use in my data warehouse for dollars and cents, or should I try using the monetary or decimal (precision 2) data type? Which type uses the most storage?
Hi all, I have declared a field with datatype as float. When I enter value with two precision it chooses to round off to lower value and insert into the database.
I am losing precision in this case.
I want to insert 4.56. It inserts the way shown and hence all my further calculations go haywire.
Is SQL server designed to store float like this or Am I doing soemting wrong ???
Hopefully ur guys can help me. I declare data type as float in price table. So the problem here is, whenever i enter a float number and move to the second row to enter a new number. The first number in the first row will automatically change to integer, without no reason. For example "2.3" will become "25".
1. In c++ (or any other language) I'm copying bit by bit to a doublevariable dob_var.2. If I copy dob_var to dob_var2 which is also a double I do not loseinformation.3. This implies that the same would be when copying to a data base, butwhen I write dob_var to an sql server float field (same size as adouble variable = 64 bit) it sometimes loses information. e.g. whenvalue=1E-320.It is true that SQL float is valid until 1E-308 but so is a C++ double.Any comments?
Hello, I have a simple question. Is it at all possible to replace columns which has nulls with blank spaces for a float data type column. The columns has null values( written)) in it in some rows and has numbers in other rows . I want to remove nulls before copying it to another file. Thanks

Is it a coding error or error of the databse
I have a problem with the round of SQL Server 2K on the float data type.
In my application I do a SQL request for find a row in a table of SQL Server 2K.
This is the request :
SELECT DISTINCT N_ROW_ID FROM COMM WHERE N_ARTICLE_ID=79510 AND N_DATASOURCE_ID=1 AND N_SOURCE_ID=-102 AND N_PROVIDER_ID=-100 AND N_LEAD_TIME IS NULL AND N_UNIT_PRICE = 329.78 AND N_UNIT_PRICE_CURRENCY_ID=1
N_UNIT_PRICE is a float data type.
In the line need, the field N_UNIT_PRICE has 329.78 but with the round of SQL Server 2K I have 329.779999999999997.
So I never find the row
Do you have a solution for comparate a float flied with SQL Server round and a float send in a request as my 329.78?
I can't transform the column in decimal or numeric data type.
Hi all,I have a table called PTRANS with few columns (see create script below).I have created a view on top that this table VwTransaction (See below)I can now run this query without a problem:select * from dbo.VwTransactionwhereAssetNumber = '101001' andTransactionDate <= '7/1/2003'But when I create an index on the PTRANS table using the command below:CREATE INDEX IDX_PTRANS_CHL# ON PTRANS(CHL#)The same query that ran fine before, fails with the error:Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted inan out-of-range datetime value.I can run the same query by commeting out the AssetNumber clause and itworks fine. I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error. Dropping the index solves theproblem.Can anyone tell me why an index would cause a query to fail?Thanks a lot in advance,AmirCREATE TABLE [PTRANS] ([CHL#] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CHCENT] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHYYMM] [numeric](4, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHDAY] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHTC] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE VIEW dbo.vwTransactionsASSELECT CONVERT(datetime, dbo.udf_AddDashes(REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHCENT)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHCENT) + REPLICATE('0', 4 -LEN(CHYYMM))+ CONVERT(varchar, CHYYMM) + REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHDAY)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHDAY)), 20) AS TransactionDate,CHL# AS AssetNumber,CHTC AS TransactionCodeFROM dbo.PTRANSWHERE (CHCENT <> 0) AND (CHTC <> 'RA')*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
Happy Friday! A while since I have posted a question, and this one is probably real easy. I am trying to store numeric values from a php form in MSSQL 2000 database. However, the columns are set to float and if the value is 1.00, when entered into the table it is saved as 1
If I change the column type to money, the query fails, with an error message of conversion of datatype varchar to datatype money statement terminated.

I have a table with a column (locationID) of int data type, I want to pass a list of locationID's to a stored procedure using the IN operator (e.g. WHERE LocationID IN (list of locationID's)). What can I do to achieve this????
My stored procedure looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_test] @sLocIDs varchar(30) AS select count(distinct TimeZoneID) As timezones, from dimLocation WHERE LocationID IN (@sLocIDs)
When I test it: exec sp_test @sLocIDs = '1,2,10' I get "Error converting data type varchar to int"
Hi, It is not exactly what I stated in the subject - It's an outcome - exception thrown while executing non-query command. I get this exception when I try to execute my stored procedure that takes datetime as one of its parameters. I am using dataset designer to create table adapters and build queries. Then I simply use objectdatasource component that uses one of the table adapters and bind it to for example a detailsview control. When I run this in debug mode and trace the objects everything looks perfect including these datetime parameters. It is sql server that throws the exception. I ran the sql profiler to see what exactly is going on, and I captured the command that is sent by ADO - it's broken into several lines right in the middle of my datetime parameters... this is the source of the problem. Everything is working fine when I take this command and execute it as a single line in the sql management studio. Is there anything about ADO that I do not know?
I getting the above error can someone please help me solve it, here is the code: public void InsertHost() { // TODO // - Call stored procedure to write to a log file writeToLog using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"])) { SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("writeToLog", cn); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@pAction", "action"); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@pHostName", "Hostname"); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@pUserNUm", "requestorID"); cn.Open(); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } } Here is the storedprocedure: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.writeToLog(@pAction varchar(10), @pUserNUm bigint, @pHostName varchar(25))AS INSERT INTO dbo.hostNameLog (action, requestorID, HostName)VALUES (@pAction, @pUserNUm, @pHostName) Here is the table: HostName - varchar, action - varchar, requestorID - bigint I can't seem to find the error.
I have the following query which has been giving me headaches for days : SELECT SCCode [Service Catalog Code], FileName [File Name], FullName [Full Name], FileExtension [Extension], FileSize [Size], Author [Author], CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),CAST(LastModified AS SMALLDATETIME), 120) [Last Modified], CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),CAST(LastAccessed AS SMALLDATETIME), 120) [Last Accessed], TimesAccessed [Downloads], UploadedBy [Uploaded By], CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),CAST(UploadedAt AS SMALLDATETIME), 120) [Uploaded At] FROM #TempTable WHERE id > @firstitem AND id < @lastitem ORDER BY CASE WHEN @sortcolumn = 'Service Catalog Code' THEN SCCode WHEN @sortcolumn = 'File Name' THEN FileName WHEN @sortcolumn = 'Extension' THEN FileExtension WHEN @sortcolumn = 'Size' THEN FileSize WHEN @sortcolumn = 'Author' THEN Author WHEN @sortcolumn = 'Last Modified' THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),CAST(LastModified AS SMALLDATETIME), 120) WHEN @sortcolumn = 'Last Accessed' THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),CAST(LastAccessed AS SMALLDATETIME), 120) WHEN @sortcolumn = 'Downloads' THEN TimesAccessed WHEN @sortcolumn = 'Uploaded By' THEN UploadedBy WHEN @sortcolumn = 'Uploaded At' THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),CAST(UploadedAt AS SMALLDATETIME), 120) END ASCWhen my @sortcolumn parameter is either FileSize (BIGINT) or TimesAccessed (BIGINT) then the query returns the data without any problem. However, if I use a different @sortcolumn value such as "Author" then I keep getting "Error converting data type varchar to bigint."A solution that seems to work is to drop CASE and use lots of IF statements instead. I don't prefer to do this because it requires me to repeat the same select statement for each and every possible @sortcolumn value!Does anyone know how to solve this? Help!
Hi I have an insert stored procedure with a parameter @eventDate date type date time. I have written a web form that takes the textbox.text value and assigns to the @eventDate parameter using a querystring. Howevr when I run the application I get a SQL Exception error converting data type nvarchar to datetime. I have tried dssqlInsertEvent.InsertParameters.add("EventDate", convert.todatetime(txtEventDate.text)); wbut received another error. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
