I'm a newbie to Transact-SQL so I apologize if this is a stupid question. Whenever I try to divide two variables of type int, I get a result where the decimal part is truncated. Here is an example:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[DIVIDE_TEST]
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE
@VAR1 int,
@VAR2 int,
@MYRESULT dec(10,5)
SELECT @VAR1 = 10
SELECT @VAR2 = 3
SELECT @MYRESULT = (@VAR1/@VAR2)
SELECT @MYRESULT
-- @MYRESULT has decimal part truncated, Returned value = 3.00000
The values that are being fetched from the database are not being read as is , when there are decimal values with 10 or more digits after the point, the values are truncated (approximated) to 8 digits
The approximation is not consistent in all the cases Some times depending on the numbers for example 0.434000001 is truncated to 0.434.
This is happening when i read the values from the sql database using the SqlDataReader.GetValue method into an ArrayList in C# .NET
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
Hi I have an SP, which queries a table and correspondingly outputs an ntext column. Before executing this SP. I used "save results as " option under Query analyzer tool bar. So that, when ever i execute this SP I can store the value under a file. The query is executing fine , but it is truncating the output of this ntext value. Does any body knowsfaced this issue? Iam using sql 2000 Thanks! Santhosh
Hello, I am trying to run a query select logid, count(logid) from temp2 group by logid order by logid compute sum(count(logid)) when I get the result the numbers are being truncated eg instead of 10471066 it shows 104710 so last two digits get truncated. Any ideas or hints appreciated. Thanks HP
Recently we've upgraded SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000. We use a Database Maintenance Plans to backup the databases and transaction logs. Everything seems to be working, but I’m getting an error message in the event viewer that has been described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 818202 "PRB: A'Database log truncated" Error is logged in the Event Log When you try to Backup the Transaction Log. The article describes the cause of this warning, but does not give any fix or some kind of work around. Does anybody knows what to do or may be had this problem before? Please help. Thanks a lot.
say if I am doing an simple insert (50 million records) with union all into a table.... when i check it while the query is running I see some records inserted.... however, at the end i have no data... table gets truncated. Is it so because I was out of space (I checked the drives and seems like data drive is running out of space).
I am relatively new to SQL server. I am tring to send some decimalvalues to the database using a stored procedure with parameters of typeDECIMAL. Every time it inserts the values into the database thedecimals are truncated. I saw on the MSDN library that you have to setthe precision and scale values b/f you run the stored procedure. So Iset the precision to 8 and the scale to 4 and it still didn't help. Cananyone help me?
Hello,Using SQL SERVER 2000I have 4 columns with varchar(80) each that I want to concatenate.When I look at the result, it only gives me 256 characters.

Hi,I am trying to generate an XML output form the database. I amexecutingselect * from Request_vw for xml autoThe output data is being truncated. is there a limit on the outputresult of an XML query?Thanks
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitText](@input [nvarchar](max), @strDelimiter [nvarchar](10)) ....
But it is still being truncated to 8000 characters. I tried using a sqlstring or using ([SqlFacet(MaxSize = -1,IsFixedLength=false)] on the parameter and a bunch of other things, but it is still truncated to 8000.
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'm using SQL Server 2005. I have stored procedure that selects a bunch of data from different tables and returns the results using the FOR XML clause. The problem is when I'm loading the XML, I notice that after a little over 2,000 characters, the XML string is getting truncated and thus I can't load it into an XmlDocument object. I'm also using the Microsoft Enterprise Library data access block, if that makes any difference. Here's the code:
I have a standard asp.net form and a single database table that I’m trying to pass data into. There are three nvarchar fields of lengths 50, 150, and 2400. Whenever I do an insert or update it truncates all data except for the first character. So if I pass “asdfasdf�, the db field will only receive “a�.
The data going from the form is correct; it gets truncated somewhere after the ExecuteNonQuery() call.
IF EXISTS (SELECT pkCareerID FROM zak_Careers WHERE pkCareerID=@pkCareerID)
BEGIN UPDATE zak_Careers SET jobTitle=@jobTitle, postedDate=@postedDate, submitBy=@submitBy, department=@department, [description]=@description, intranet=@intranet, [public]=@public WHERE pkCareerID=@pkCareerID END ELSE BEGIN INSERT INTO zak_Careers (jobTitle, postedDate, submitBy, department, [description], intranet, [public]) VALUES (@jobTitle, @postedDate, @submitBy, @department, @description, @intranet, @public) END
Hi, I have hit a brick wall with this. My code is as below
public void fillCustomer() { string connectionString = "server='local'; trusted_connection= true; integrated security=sspi; database='Mrbob'"; System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection dbConnection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString); string queryString = "SELECT * FROM [Customer] WHERE ([CustomerID] = @CustomerID)"; System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand dbCommand= new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(); dbCommand.CommandText = queryString; dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection; System.Data.IDataParameter param_CustomerID = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter(); param_CustomerID.ParameterName ="@CustomerID"; param_CustomerID.Value = customerID;dbCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID", SqlDbType.Int); dbCommand.Connection.Open(); System.Data.IDataReader dataReader = dbCommand.ExecuteReader(); dbCommand.Connection.Close(); while(dataReader.Read()) { customerID = dataReader.GetInt32(0); date = dataReader.GetDateTime(1); eposCode = dataReader.GetInt32(2); } dataReader.Close();
}
The error I am getting is
Prepared statement '(@CustomerID int)SELECT * FROM [Customer] WHERE ([CustomerID] = ' expects parameter @CustomerID, which was not supplied.
As you can see from my queryString the @CustomerID parameter is passed in. It seems as if the string is being truncated at 64 characters long. If I remove the paramter to pass the relevant infomration and pass in a customerID I know exists it works.
I am really stumped on this and would really appreciate any pointers
Hi! When I run a select statement, it would retrieve a product description. In some rows, it is long. Consequently, the product description was truncated. Did anybody have resulotion for this issue?
My SQL Server 2000 database log was full (2MB) and I am unable to add new column to a table. So that I follow this article to truncate my log file to 1MB. It works. But when I add a new column to a table after that. The log file went back to 2MB in size and I got the "the log file is full" error message again for the operation. BTW, my reovery mode was set to "Simple". I don't understand how the save table operation can recover my change on log size. What should I do to "permanently" truncate my log? http://www.support.microsoft.com/?id=272318 I did this: DBCC SHRINKFILE (myDB_Log, 1) BACKUP LOG myDB WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY DBCC SHRINKFILE (myDB_Log, 1)
My table has got 67K records but the tool is showing just 100 records other records are getting truncated. Now what i have to do in SQL statement to view the other records starting from 100 to 1000?

The transaction log in a database in our SQLSERVER-2000 server hasgrown to 16GB. I cannot shrink the transaction log manually because itsays that the entire 16GB log size is not free. This is strangebecause we backup the transaction log every hour, and that should havetruncated the transaction log, and should have limited the size of thetransaction log; somehow, the entire transaction log is still markedas being used.I was under the impressionI believe that must have something to do with the fact that thedatabase is a part of our nightly replication. The reason is that whenI tried the following commands, I got that error message:checkpointdump transaction isprod with no_logThe log was not truncated because records at the beginningof the log are pending replication. Ensure the Log ReaderAgent is running or use sp_repldone to mark transactionsas distributed.What does this mean? How can I get away from this mess?Thanks.Jay Chan
I am trying to send a large string to my table where I have typed the field as "text". The data is truncated ( I am only sending about 5kb and it is being truncated to about 4kb). I am using SQL 2000. My web page is classic.asp and I am sending a parameterized query to my stored procedure. This is the relevelant code for the parameter I'm sending: objCmd.Parameters.Append = objCmd.CreateParameter("@PostBody",adLongVarChar,adParamInput,20000,PostBody)
This is the typing in my stored proc: @PostBody text,
I can either INSERT or UPDATE using Query Analyzer and the data is NOT truncated.
Wondering if it was my parameterized query that was causing me trouble, I rewrote the code to send the SQL upfront (skipping the stored proc), and the calling the stored proc from my .asp page passing in the parameters in a string. All three ways are truncating the data.
I have isolated that the truncation is happening on the way in, not on the way out.
Because I can successfully insert/update with QA, I'm wondering if there is some IIS issue that is causing the truncation. But I don't manage our IIS server so I really don't know much about that end of things.
I have been researching this issue for two days with no luck. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
Sometime when I€™m using the Data Flow designer I create a task that displays a red circle with a white €œx€? in it. Usually, but not always, the tooltip appears explaining the problem. Sometimes when the tooltip appears I can€™t read the message fully because it is truncated. What can I do in that case?
I have an Oracle table which contains a LONG column and I need to migrate the data from this table using SSIS to a table in SQLServer. The column in SQLServer is defined as nvarchar(MAX). This works until I changed the Oracle table to a view. The columns in the view are defined exactly the same as the source table except that it uses a database link to point to the table in a different schema. When executing the data flow task using the view, it gives me the following error message -
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated ".
The error happens only on views with LONG column. Views with only varchar or numeric data types work fine.
Why does it work with a table but not a view which contains a LONG column?
