I am importing a table from our ERP system using a DTS. THe table imports fine. The only issue that I am having is that a decimal field in our ERP system can be for example 105.1275, but when it gets inported to sql the number is 105.1270.
What could possibly be the issue and sollution for this. All help is appreciated.
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)

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?
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
Thanks!
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
158203508540188236252EUR20BZK0030 Å“&

Please help!

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

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.
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."
Any suggestions on resolving this glitch ??
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?

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.
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))

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....
Public Function GetTotalweight (ByVal cartID As String) As Decimal
' Create Instance of Connection and Command Object Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")) Dim myCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("CMRC_ShoppingCartTotalweigh", myConnection)

I need to know a general syntax for inserting user information from an application into 6 Tables using one stored procedure. Is it something like:

I need to import an nvarchar that contains 1/4 (for example) to a float field so it would read .25 Any suggestions? Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe 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?
Thanks in advance.
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?
let say
1/2 = 0.5
anyone know how to set it become 0.5? by default the value will become 0,
Hi,
I have a column ,Lines decimal(10,2).
The data in this column is not properly displayed in crystal reports.
Eg: the data in the column is 24.34, it's being displayed like 345234352
Why this is so? When the data type is int, there's no problem. Because of this I'm not able to display decimals in my report. Which data type in sql server is apt for my task.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to divide two decimal(19,4) numbers but it keeps giving me a Divide by 0 error.
- 10698.25 / 76782.11 = -0.13 (but I get a Divide by 0)
I looked it up in the Sql Server docs, does the Divide by 0 error also cover Stack overflows?
If so, how do I get around this?
Many thanks,
Stuart
