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
Could anyone explain the difference between the following 3 queries?
select CONVERT(decimal(38,25),100) / CONVERT(decimal(38,25),1750)
select CONVERT(decimal(19,8),100) / CONVERT(decimal(19,8),1750)
select (100.000/ 1750.000).
I would expect the first one to give me the most accurate result but the second query with a lower precision and scale returns a result with a greater scale.Thanx.
Hi - I have what seems like a simple problem and I cannot find an answer to it. I'm hoping someone here can help.
I want to divide 2 numbers but have the answer come back with no decimal places. I don't want to round up or down..just give me the whole number and drop the decimal places. For example:
Select units/60 as answer
And units = 280. I want the "answer" to be 4 and NOT 4.66.
Any ideas?
I'm on SQL server version 8.0.
Thanks in advance!

Which one is good method to convert a following division into 2 decimal digits.
q1)
select cast(( cast( sum(population) as decimal) * 100) / sum(totalpopulation) as decimal(7,2)
from
table1 group by state
q2)
select cast(( sum(population) * cast( 100 as decimal)) / sum(totalpopulation) as decimal(7,2)
from
table1 group by state
q3)
select cast( (sum(population) * 100) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2)
from
table1 group by state
q4)
select cast(( cast(sum(population) as decimal) * 100) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2)
from
table1 group by state
q5)
select cast( (cast(sum(population) as decimal) * cast(100 as decimal) ) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2)
from
table1 group by state
q6)
select cast(( cast(sum(population) * 100 as decimal) ) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2)
from
table1 group by state
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?

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“&

In my query, there's a mathematical expression that takes a value from one table and divides it by another value (X).
The problem is that X can be 0 sometimes and then I get an error.
How can I prevent errors like this for the case of X=0?
In access I would use IIF function, but it doesn't appear in SQL SERVER views.
Thanks.
This query is part of a larger query that updates a table that holds statistics for reporting. It yields actual Unit per Minute by plant by month. Some of the plants don't produce anything in certain months, so I'm ending up with a Divide by Zero error. I think I just need to stick another CASE statement in for each month, but that seems like it could get pretty ugly.
Any suggestions on how to improve this?

hi
in a view, i create a field like field1/field2.
in case that field2 is zero, i've got division by zero error.
how can i change the value to 0 when field2 is 0 for avoiding get error.
I want to count the rows in two tables and then give a percentage as a result.
Something like:
SELECT Count(*) / (SELECT COUNT (*) FROM Table2) FROM Table1
Just not quite sure how to do this.
*Thanks*
It is common for me to need to create ratios from data in my database such as
SELECT
( list_value / sale_price ) as ratio
FROM
values
The value returned is always an integer whether decimal is cast or not. IE if sale_price is > list_value then 1 or 0 is returned instead of the percentage (ratio) as expected. Only whole numbers are returned.
BTW. Same is true in postgres db I have as well. What is it that I am doing wrong?

I've got the following SQLSELECT count(*) FROM tablea AJOIN tableb B ON ..etc..WHERE a.string_val = 'test' ANDb.divider 0 ANDa.number 0 AND(a.number / b.divider 0)The b.divider value can be 0, but still I get the division by zeroerror message.I guess the reason is that the database performs the where statementsone at the time?So when performing the division a.number / b.divider it could get 0 inthe divider even if b.divider 0 is also part of the wherestatement??My question is then.. How can I work around this problem? Changing thedatabase to set b.divider always 0 is not an option

I plan to implement UDT for division methods.
The following fragment TSQL with zero check:
DECLARE @a int, @b int
SELECT
CASE WHEN @b = 0 THEN NULL
ELSE @a / @b
END
Clr UDT may look like this and script will be shorter.
DECLARE @a int, @b int
SELECT @a Type :: divide(@b)
Is that better to use UDT ?
Anyone have try this before?

Im using SQL Server 2000.
If i divide two integer column values, the result i am getting is integer. i.e
Update tblStudents SET Percentage=(AttendedClasses/TotalClasses);
AttendedClasses,TotalClasses are two column names(Integer). I hav declared Percentage column as float.
The result im getting is integer value..
I want the actual float value(i.e Percentage)
How to Resolve this??
Help me with this issue..
thanks in advance.
I have a function that divides the results of 2 seperate datafiffs to provide a ratio. For some reason I cannot get the result to return as a decimal - it is only giving me integers. I have tried cast and converting both the idividual numbers and the results, no luck. If I write the query on it's own, casting the one of the values as decimal will return the right value. Any ideas what I am missing? Here is the function:
Create function fn_FTE(
@tkpr varchar(5),
@start datetime,
@end datetime)
Returns decimal
Begin
declare
@fte decimal
select @fte =
sum(datediff(dd,
(case

I would like to have an either a sql statement (1st) or a stored procedure (2nd) that would give me the percent correct for each student on the test.
In Access I could cheat and use this:
Code BlockSELECT Students.StudentName,
Count(Students.StudentName) AS TotalCorrect,
(SELECT Count(QuizMaster.ID) FROM QuizMaster;) AS TotalQuestions,
([TotalCorrect])/([TotalQuestions])*100 AS PercentValue
FROM (Answers INNER JOIN Students
ON Answers.StudentID = Students.ID)
INNER JOIN QuizMaster
ON (Answers.Answer = QuizMaster.Answer)
AND (Answers.QuestionID = QuizMaster.ID)
GROUP BY Students.StudentName
ORDER BY Students.StudentName, PercentValue;
Which is composed of the following...
Code Block
SELECT Students.StudentName,
Count(Students.StudentName) AS TotalCorrect
FROM (Answers INNER JOIN Students
ON Answers.StudentID = Students.ID)
INNER JOIN QuizMaster
ON (Answers.Answer = QuizMaster.Answer)
AND (Answers.QuestionID = QuizMaster.ID)
GROUP BY Students.StudentName;
SELECT Count(QuizMaster.ID) AS TotalQuestions
FROM QuizMaster;
([TotalCorrect])/([TotalQuestions])*100 AS PercentValue
But... that wont fly in SQL Server...What would work without using temp tables?
What would be the EASIEST way to do this?
Another way someone suggested is:
Code BlockCREATE PROCEDURE GetStudentGradeByID @StudentID Integer
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @TotalQuestionsAsked as Integer;
DECLARE @StudentName as VarChar(50);
DECLARE @QuestionsCorrect as Integer;
DECLARE @PercentCorrect as Float;
set @TotalQuestionsAsked = select COUNT(*)FROM QuizMaster;
set @StudentName = select StudentName from Students where ID = @StudentID;
set @QuestionsCorrect = select count(Answers.ID) from Answers LEFT JOIN QuizMaster on Answers.QuestionID = QuizMaster.ID where StudentID = @StudentID AND QuizMaster.Answer = Answers.Answer;
set @PercentCorrect = (CAST (@QuestionsCorrect AS FLOAT) / CAST (@TotalQuestionsAsked AS FLOAT)) * 100.0;
select @QuestionsCorrect as TotalCorrect, @StudentName as Student, @TotalQuestionsAsked as NumQuestions, @PercentCorrect as CorrectPct;
END
But I need this as a datasource for a datagrid that would show all students etc... so using a parameter isn't really what I want.
So... could a stored procedure work for this?
