MSSQL && ODBC Float Problem
Sep 27, 2007
Hi,
I am having problems using MSSQL Express with ODBC. I am trying to retrieve a float field from the MSSQL server, but the value I get is corrupted (or at least approximated wrong). For instance, the value I want to retrieve is 59.457443, but what I actually get is 59.457442999999998. This only happens if I connect through ODBC. I did some tracing with ODBC and I've noticed that it's not a problem in my code, since the wrong value is what is actually extracted from the database. Following is an extract from the log file.
a88-ec EXIT SQLGetData with return code 0 (SQL_SUCCESS) HSTMT 03C62918 UWORD 5 SWORD 1 <SQL_C_CHAR> PTR 0x0415EB30 [ 18] "59.457442999999998" SQLLEN 50 SQLLEN * 0x0415E720 (18)
I am wondering if I overlooked something configuration-wise of if this is a bug in the driver? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I am connecting to MSSQL through ODBC using regular SQL commands (SQLAllocHandle, SQLConnect, SQLFetch). Sometimes when I retrieve float data from the server it gets corrupted. For instance, instead of 59.457443 I will actually get 59.45744299999998. The value that is stored in the database is 59.457443 and it is stored as a float. The code I use to retrieve the data worked OK with an Access database, the problem only appeared after switching to MSSQL. Does anybody know if it's a configuration issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm connecting MSSQL Server 2005 Express via MS Driver for PHP (CTP version October 2007) and sometimes I don't retrieve exact float values. For example, in database is 0.7 and I get 0.69999999999999996, but for 1.0 in database I get 1.0. The result is the same, if I use prepared statement (sqlsrv_conn_prepare() and sqlsrv_stmt_execute()) or directly sql_conn_execute().
The table definition is very simple:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[test](
a float NOT NULL
);
insert into test values(0.7);
insert into test values(1.0);
insert into test values(1.1);
insert into test values(1.2);
insert into test values(1.3);
insert into test values(1.4);
insert into test values(1.5);
insert into test values(1.6);
insert into test values(1.7);
insert into test values(1.8);
insert into test values(1.9);
insert into test values(2.0);
And select command is:
select a from test;
PHP code:
$conn = sqlsrv_connect("localhostsqlexpress", array("UID" => "sa", "PWD" => "password"));
sqlsrv_conn_execute($conn, "USE dbname");
$stmt = sqlsrv_conn_execute($conn, "select a from test");
while($row = sqlsrv_stmt_fetch_array($stmt, SQLSRV_FETCH_TYPE_ARRAY))
echo $row[1]."; ";
Result:
0.69999999999999996; 1.0; 1.1000000000000001; 1.2; 1.3; 1.3999999999999999; 1.5; 1.6000000000000001; 1.7; 1.8; 1.8999999999999999; 2.0
Expected result:
0.7; 1.0; 1.1; 1.2; 1.3; 1.4; 1.5; 1.6; 1.7; 1.8; 1.9; 2.0
Running configuration:
Windows 2003 Server SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, IIS6, PHP 5.2.5 ISAPI
Thank you very much for help.

We have in our applications written in VC++ access also to MSSQL but only over ODBC. Is there any performance difference (is ADO faster) between ODBC and ADO access? And if yes how much it could be ?
Thanks for your answer.

I work with a FoxPro programmer who wants to use an ODBC connection from his foxpro inventory database to the websites mssql inventory database to do quanity+1 updates.
But he is not sure if OBDC (or MSSQL for that matter) supports those kind of updates (field+1 instead finding out what field value is and then incrementing it).
Can one of your pros confirm or deny this?
thanks!

First off, Devshed is a great place to find information for development. I'm on here daily looking through threads, finding answeres
I'm building a backend for a program that uses msSql 2005 and ODBC .
I'm trying to insert into a table, and it is working, but i would like to find a solution to this error i get from the odbc trace:
Calc f54-5c4ENTER SQLExecute
HSTMT 00924A18
Calc f54-5c4EXIT SQLExecute with return code -1 (SQL_ERROR)
HSTMT 00924A18
DIAG [22018] [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid character value for cast specification (0)
when i try to insert a value of 0 (zero) into a column that is bound as a double it gives this error.
And one more thing:
if(retcode != SQL_SUCCESS | SQL_SUCESS_WITH_INFO)
shouldnt that work? (if Retcode isnot success OR success_with_info)
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
thanks

Hi. Is there a way in order to get the Server name using MSSQL ODBC in Visual C++? Here's my code:
CString wstr_connect ;
wstr_connect.Format( "DSN=%s;UID=%s;PWD=%s", gstr_DBName, gstr_UserID, gstr_Password ) ;
CDatabase mydb ;
BOOL ret = mydb.OpenEx( wstr_connect, CDatabase::noOdbcDialog ) ;
CString info = mydb.GetConnect( ) ;
GetConnect only returns the database name, user ID, password and WSID. How do i get the server name?
Thanks in advance!

Hi There,
I have developed the ODBC app which can work with Oracle as well as MSSQL server databases. I need to use transactions at some level. By setting AUTOCOMMIT OFF and using SET TRANSACTION and BEGIN WORK, COMMIT WORK everything works fine with Oracle. But with MSSQL server does not. Do I need to code something special for MSSQL? Does anyone has example on how to implement transactions with MSSQL server using ODBC?
I tried reading lots of documents on Microsoft site but nothing specifically says how to do this. One way the doc says is using SQLSetConnectAttr with SQL_ATTR_TXN_ISOLATION but does not specify how to.
Any help with appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I normally use Microsoft Access to retrieve data , via ODBC connection, from a table in a SQLserver database. One of the fields in the table has a value 1 but at times when the data is retrieved into MS Access it turns out to be 100 in Access. Moreover, when I try to change it in Access my computer hangs or it takes a long time before the change is effected. It does not matter from which client Pc this action takes place it remains the same. I am using ODBC SQLserver ODBC driver version 2000.81.9042.00.
I would be grateful if you could help me out of this strange situation.
Regards,
Albert

Hi,
I wanted to know if there is a way to connect to my MSSQL without having to setup a datasource in the control panel.
Perferably I want to locate the database within my perl code instead. I don't want to have to setup a datasource each time I need a different database. Perhaps there is a way to pass the name of the database along with the username and password through the command line.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this issue -
We have a client/server program for MSSQL7 and MSSQL2000.
When running client/server - we have our own broker, etc,
the program ends up locking itself on SQL2000; this is not a problem on SQL7.
We noticed that it seems some system tables locking tempdb.
We also noticed that SQL2000 no longer has insert-into/bulkcopy option like SQL7. But, here we don't have temporary tables at all. It's just that we found the lockings in tempdb caused by some sysobjects, sysindexes, etc.
Also, this does not happen to all the systems we have. Some of our machine does not have the self-lock problem; most of the machines have this problem though.
If we don't run client/server, then the program works fine.
Same logic, the difference is when we use client/server logic to connect to the remote SQLServer 2000 server, the locking might happen on most of our machines.
Anyone is familiar with tempdb and locking issues, please provide some hint??? Is it possible that there are some system parameters that we can set to avoid the problem. We haven't found out why some of our machines do not have problem, while most of the machines have this locking problem.
The program is written using ODBC.
Many thanks in advance.

The source for this problem can be found http://www.wellytop.com/SQLProblem.zip
This test creates two threads each with a database connection and uses transactions to insert values into the same table.
The objective of this test is to check that a thread cannot read the results from a pending transaction on a different thread.
In effect this checks dirty reads do not happen and transaction locking.
The test runs correctly and displays "PASSED" with MySQL indicating the transaction and threading worked.
When running with MSSQL Express 2005 it reports a deadlock error during a transaction.
It's not really possible to re-run the transaction and I would like MS SQL to operate similar to MySQL, i.e. MySQL waits for the other transaction to finish before the next transaction can operate on those table rows. I'd like to use MSSQL but I am wondering why this error doesn't happen with MySQL and so have, for the moment, chosen to use it as my preferred database solution.
I have experimented with transaction isolation levels and this doesn't seem to solve the problem.
I've tested this with a fresh install of Windows XP SP2 and no firewall turned on.
To run this test with MSSQL Express2005 use the ODBC Data Source Administrator (odbcad32.exe) to create a data source named MyExpressTest and attach this to an empty database that has been created with the default values. Enable the #define MSSQL in the coude otherwise it tests with MySQL.
To run this test with MySQL (to show how this test should work) use the ODBC Data Source Administrator (odbcad32.exe) to create a data source named mySQLNewTest and attach this to an empty database that has been created with the default values. Comment out the #define MSSQL to switch to MySQL mode.

I am trying to make an ODBC connection to a MSSQL 2K server on a remote machine. I am using the SQL Server driver and can see the server in the drop down list when asked which server I would like to connect to. I am using SQL authentication over TCP/IP.
The error occurs when ODBC tries to connet to SQL server to obtain the default settings. The error I receive is as follows:
Connection Failed;
sqlstate '28000';
sql server error: 18456;
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'XXXX'
I have tried setting up alternate SQL Server users with varying security rights on the server but am not able to setup the ODBC connection.
I am setting the ODBC connection up on a windows XP SP2 machine.
The remote server is running Windows server 2003 (patched upto date) and MS SQL server 2K (SP3). The connection is over a LAN and does not pass through any firewalls (hardware or software). I can create the ODBC connection without issue locally on the server.
This is my first time creating an ODBC connection to a Windows 2003 Server and I am wondering if there is some additional config I may have missed out.
Many thanks.

I lost few days to solve a problem regarding the connection to an Oracle database server (10) with goal to execute a distributed transaction.
The environment was:
Windows Server 2003 Standard
MSSQL Server 2000 Standard
Oracle 10g Production Edition
The connection was quite easy to make with the Microsoft driver, but the error was:
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01b].
I tried to use the oracle odbc driver, but all kinds of errors were raised, regarding the TNS name and stuff like this. The real cause was that when you create the linked server you must to check the €œAllow inbound process€? in the provider options.
The Oracle ODBC driver allow distributed transactions.

I can't take full credit for this. I want to share this with Jeff Moden who did the important research for this calculation here.
All I did was just adapting some old code according to the mantissa finding Jeff made and optimized it a little
Some test codeDECLARE@SomeNumber FLOAT,
@BinFloat BINARY(8)
SELECT@SomeNumber = -185.6125,
@BinFloat = CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))
SELECT@SomeNumber AS [Original],
CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8)) AS [Binary],
dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Converted],
@SomeNumber - dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Error]
And here is the code for the function.CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float
(
@BinaryFloat BINARY(8)
)
RETURNS FLOAT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE@Part TINYINT,
@PartValue TINYINT,
@Mask TINYINT,
@Mantissa FLOAT,
@Exponent SMALLINT,
@Bit TINYINT,
@Ln2 FLOAT,
@BigValue BIGINT
SELECT@Part = 1,
@Mantissa = 1,
@Bit = 1,
@Ln2 = LOG(2),
@BigValue = CAST(@BinaryFloat AS BIGINT),
@Exponent = (@BigValue & 0x7ff0000000000000) / EXP(52 * @Ln2)
WHILE @Part <= 8
BEGIN
SELECT@Part = @Part + 1,
@PartValue = CAST(SUBSTRING(@BinaryFloat, @Part, 1) AS TINYINT),
@Mask =CASE WHEN @Part = 2 THEN 8 ELSE 128 END
WHILE @Mask > 0
BEGIN
IF @PartValue & @Mask > 0
SET @Mantissa = @Mantissa + EXP(-@Bit * @Ln2)
SELECT@Bit = @Bit + 1,
@Mask = @Mask / 2
END
END

Greeting.
I use OdbcConnection inside clr procedure, for getting data. If I use simple EXEC dbo.clr_proc - all is OK. If I use INSERT...EXEC I recive error message: Distributed transaction enlistment failed.
I set MSDTC security options for No Authentification and Allow inbound and Allow outbound, but it's no use.
Have this problem solution? May be, I must use another method to get my data?
P.S. Linked Servers and OPENQUERY is not applicable. Sybase not describe columns in stored proc result set and one stored proc may return different result set by params.
P.S.S. Sorry for bad english.

Hi,
I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.
Ex:-
CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY
(ACTIVITY_NAME ASC, PROCESS_NAME ASC, START_TIME ASC, ISMONITORED ASC)
INCLUDE
(INSTANCE_ID, ACTIVITY_TYPE, STATUS, END_TIME, ORGANIZATION);
Any help in creating such indexes in 2000 version is welcome.
Thanks,
Suresh.

Hi,
I am using VB.NET 2005 and set up an ODBC connection via ODBC.ODBCConnection to a MDB database. Therefor, I use the "Microsoft Access ODBC Driver (*.mdb)".
When I set up a ODBCCommand like "ALTER DATABASE..." or "CREATE TABLE..." and issue it with the com.ExecuteNonQuery() command, I get an error from ODBC driver, that a SQL statement has to begin with SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.
How can I use DDL statements via ODBC?
I would appreciate if you could help me to use ODBC for that - no OLE, no ADO.
Thanks for help!

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for
XP. However, when I try to add a new data source through ODBC Connection
Manager, SQL Native Client is not listed as an option. I have followed this procedure on three other systems with no problems. What would be causing the
SQL Native Client to not show up in the list of available ODBC data sources?

I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.
Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.
I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.
I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.
Upgrade options:
1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via:
a. DETACH / ATTACH
b. BACKUP / RESTORE
c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result?
2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases?
3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.

Hi all,I am having trouble getting linked Oracle 9 server in MS SQL Server2005 Express to work properly. My machine is running Windows XP.The Microsoft and Oracle OLE DB Providers have problems dealing withOracle's Numeric Data Type, so I decided to use Microsoft's OLE DB forODBC Provider and an Oracle ODBC source. When using the Microsoft ODBCfor Oracle Driver in my ODBC source I have inconsistent behavior.Sometimes my queries are processed properly, then other times I get thefollowing errorOLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ODBCBEAST" returnedmessage "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttrfailed".OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ODBCBEAST" returnedmessage "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttrfailed".OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ODBCBEAST" returnedmessage "[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]".Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL"for linked server "ODBCBEAST".I have no idea why sometimes I can connect to the linked server with noproblems andwhy other times it performs like this. I'm not changing anything aboutthe system I can think of. When I use an Oracle client (PL/SQL) I haveabsolutely no problems connecting. TNSPING returns that the connectionis good.This is unacceptable so I decided to try my luck with the Oracle 10gODBC driver. However when I use this and perform an openquery selectagainst the linked server I get back only 11 rows, when I know that thedatabase has over 100 rows (in fact when using the Microsoft ODBCdriver and it works that's what I get). I figured maybe the buffersetting needed to be raised in the ODBC configuration so I took it from64000 to 600000 (a magnitude of 10) but I still get back only 11 rows.I'm at my wit's end.Any suggestions on resolving one or the other problem would be muchappreciated.Thanks much

B: I also have tried copying the database. I put it in the same path as the other databases that can be read with server management studio on the server. Then, tried to get to it through server managements studio and it did not appear. So I tried to attach it. Then I received this error:

C: I have also tried opening the Database, and back up file through Server Management Studio. without success.
D: I also tried Windows and Software update at microsoft update, but no updates were recommended for Version on Server.
I'm surprised this is so hard. My original data base was created in same family of software. 2005 MS SQL Express. I could use some direct help from someone experienced with this. Am I doing it wrong or are the DB versions incompatible.

Hi!
I'm quite new to SQL Server. I need to set a float datatype to display something like 3.55. However, all values that are stored in the float column are truncated to 4 or some other single digit. How can this be prevented?
Regards,
Sam
