Hi,
I would like to convert a dollar amount ($1,500) to represent Fifteen
hundred dollars and 00/100 cents only for SQL reporting purposes. Is
this possible and can I incorporate the statement into an existing
left outer join query.
Thanks in advance,
Gavin
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.".

when I run below query I got Error of Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric
declare @a numeric(16,4)
set @a=99362600999900.0000
The 99362600999900 value before numeric is 14 and variable that i declared is of 16 length. Then why this error is coming ? When I set Length 18 then error removed.
Guys
I'm getting the above when trying to populate a variable. The values in question are :
@N = 21
@SumXY = -1303765191530058.2251000000
@SumXSumY = -5338556963168643.7875000000
When I run, SELECT (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY) in QA I get the result OK which is -28500190448996439680147097583285.072256 ie 32 places to left of decimal and 6 to the right
When I try the following ie to populate a variable with that value I get the error -
SELECT R2Top = (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY)@R2Top is NUMERIC (38, 10)
Any ideas ??
Hi There,
I'm using C# to get a value for a DOUBLE precision variable, called "Length", from a textBox using the following line:
Length = Convert.ToDouble( txtLength.Text )
I'm also using the following lines to prepare my stored procedure call:
arParms[9] = new SqlParameter("@Length", SqlDbType.Decimal, 5);
arParms[9].Value = record.Length;
My stored procedure has the following parameter definition:
@Length decimal(9,3)
My problem is that if someone types a value bigger than 999999 in the textbox he will get for sure the following error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Error converting data type numeric to decimal.
I don't know how to either make sql or C# to truncate the value or catch the exception to automatically assign 0 to the parameter.
Please Help.
Moshe
when i execute my store procedure it give this error.

SELECT a.Security_Value, b.Enterprise_Number, b.Enterprise_Description

Thanks!!!!!!
I am using MS SQL Server 2008R2 along with VB 2010.The first question is: why is it even trying to convert anything to numeric? I have NO numeric data types. And I don't have any nvarchar data types either. I'm very confused.Doesn't nchar include any and all characters, in any combination? Should I change everything to text data type? Maybe something else? Some values are going to be blank. The Lab/Source Lots have numbers, letters and dashes.
My stored procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.MChemsInsert
(
@LabLot nchar(10),
@Chem nchar(50),
@Source nchar(50),
@SourceLot nchar(10),

Select SchoolNumber + ' ' + ShortSchoolName as SchoolList from tblSchoolsSubset
This is my simple sql statement which generates the error in the subject line.
SchoolNumber is type numeric and ShortSchoolName is nvarchar
There are only numbers in SchoolNumber.
Yes again a topic like this, I couldn't get an answer for my problem so I started a new topic.
Im getting this error for these lines:
$registreer = "INSERT INTO Gebruikerstelefoon (gebruikersnaam, telefoonnummer, volgnr) VALUES ('".$_SESSION['gebruikersnaam']."', '".$_POST["telefoonnummer"]."', '')";
mssql_query($registreer) or die("Fout bij toewijzen telefoonnummer.");
'telefoonnummer' (phonenumber) is nummeric, users can insert their phonenumber in a input field (text) and register along.. ( this is a second query for the column phonennumber) though this doesn't work..

Hi,
Thank you in advance for your comments/suggestions. I am trying to create a View of a Table. The table is created by another application so I am unable to recreate it they way I want, also the data that is in the columns that I want to CAST are "numbers" not letters and will only be numbers. In the view I need certain columns to be CAST as numeric from varchar.
Here is the syntax that I am currently using:
Code Snippet
SELECT CAST(szF1 AS datetime) AS [Login Date/Time], szF2 AS [User Name], CAST(szF3 AS numeric) AS [Documents Indexed], CAST(szF4 AS datetime) AS [Logout Date/Time], CAST(szF5 AS numeric) AS [Documents Sent to QC], CAST(szF6 AS numeric) AS [Documents Reconciled], szF7 AS [Reject Reason], CAST(szF8 AS datetime) AS [Report Date]
FROM dbo.F_Report_Data AS a
WHERE (szF3 <> 'Blank')
When I open the view I get the error message about converting varchar to numeric.
Thanks,
Erik
I have always programmed my ASP pages with MS Access DB's and we recently got a SQL Server 2000. So, I'm totally new to SQL Server 2000.
I trying to retrieve data from a table in SQL, based on values from two input fields (text fields) on a form in the web page.
To process the form, I am using the following syntax:
Set oRs = oConn.Execute("SELECT BBILNAM, BTWP, BTXP, BPARCEL, BBILADD, BBILCTYST, BBILZIP5 FROM TESTdb WHERE BTWP = 'TWP' AND BPARCEL = 'PARCEL'")
SQL Fields in Table TESTdb are (BTWP = numeric field) and (BPARCEL = text field)
I realize that the problem is that I'm comparing a numeric field in my table, to a text field from my form, but don't know how to convert the text field to a numeric field, prior to the execution of the select statement. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I am trying to add a field (bank_chk_amt] from a table in to my query to bring in a dollar amount....I originally had this below
SELECT dbo.CBPAYMENT.REFERENCE_NO, 'CCMCCHBREF' AS Literal, RTrim([description]) + ', ' + [bank_chk_amt] + ', ' + convert(char(10),[check_date],101) + ', ' + 'Refund check sent to ' + [payee_name] AS [Free Text]
FROM dbo.CBPAYMENT;
but I would get "Error converting data type varchar to numeric".So my co-worker modified it and added (str([bank_chk_amt]) to my query which worked, but I noticed it dropped of the cents. So instead of 80.35 it would show 80 And I noticed it rounded 100.50 to 101...How can I bring in the full dollar amount and without adding?
In my inner query,
I have a column "Cost" (data type=varchar) and another column "Qty" (data type=int)
Now in outer query, I need to multiply this 2 columns Cost*Qty.But after trying some cast operation still getting "Error converting data type varchar to numeric."
When I run the following sql query:
"update table set price = price * 1.1 "..
I get the following error : "Msg 8115, Level 16, State 8, Line 1.. Arithmetic overflow error converting nvarchar to data type numeric. The statement has been terminated."
The table is set to nvarchar, and i am just trying to make the prices go up 10%.
I have the following code and i want to passed more than one value:
DECLARE @myvendedor AS varchar(255)
SET @myvendedor = '87,30'
print @myvendedor
SELECT top 10 ECOM.COM1,* from ecom (nolock) WHERE ecom.PORVEND=1 AND ECOM.VENDEDOR IN (@myvendedor)
Table Field ECOM.VENDEDOR is Numeric(4,0)
This error occur:
87,30 --Result of PRINT
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6

I change :
DECLARE @myvendedor AS numeric(4,0)
and this error appear:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 2
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
OK, so I have this query where I'm trying to subtract values like this, when I do this I am getting (Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric.) I have tried many different things, and now of these work, it'll either return 0 because it loses the .XXXXX.

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:
this.court0TableAdapter1.Update(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
this.mycourtsDataSet1.AcceptChanges();
this.court0TableAdapter1.Fill(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
This did not happen with VS2005/CE3.01.
I have tried changing all references to decimal (or money in CE3.5) without luck.
I'm beginning to think that string may be the way to go!!!!!!!
Can someone shed some light on my problem.
Thanks,
Later:
It's necessary to update the datatable adapter as the 3.01 and 3.5 CE are not compatible.
I'm moving data from one database to another (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ....) and am encountering this error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
My problem is that Line 6 is:
set @brn_pk = '0D4BDE66347C440F'
so that is obviously not the problem and my query has almost 200 columns. I can go through one by one and compare what column is int in my destination table and what is varchar in my source tables, but that could take quite a while. How I can work out what column is causing the problem?
I am trying to setup an indicator value for an SSRS report to show green and red values on a report, based on the NRESULT value. The problem I am facing is that I have several different CASE statements that have the same logic, and they are processing just fine. NRESULT is a decimal field, so no conversion should be necessary. I do not know why I am getting the "Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric." error message.
Below is the CASE statement where the error is occurring. It is in the part of the ELSE CASE. The first CASE works just fine when the ELSE CASE is commented out. If I also change the ELSE CASE statement to say "else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then '0'", then it processes fine, too, so it has to be something I am missing something in the check on negative values. I do need the two checks, one for positive and one for negative values, to take place.
case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) <> '-' then --This portion, for checking positive values, of the CASE statement works fine.
CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) between 0.00 and 0.49 THEN '2' --Green
ELSE CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) > 0.49 THEN '0' --Red
ELSE '3' --White
END
END
else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then --This portion, for checking negative values, of the CASE statement is producing the conversion error message.
[code]....
I checked the NRESULT field, and there are not any NULL values in there, either.
I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible?
I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail.
SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime)
FROM panelists
the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'.
I'm rather new to all things SQL, so I only have the vaguest idea of what I'm actually doing.
Thanks for the help!
