Why does SQL add 4 zeros at the end of a money data type? I have to format my strings once they are retrieved because of this. I am not sure if I did something wrong, but shouldn't it only have 2 trailing zero's?
View 1 RepliesHi,
I have a Price column which has 'money' as the data type.
Then I populated some data into the table. I enter '1.00' in the Price column, then I used the following code to get the data:
Label2.Text = "$" + dataSet1.Tables["products"].Rows[0]["price"].toString();
However, the price is displayed as "$1.0000". But I believe it should display "$1.00". So how can I get rid off the two zeros at the end.
regards
Why does the money data type have 4 decimal places eg £134.3453 or $12.3636
I would have expected it to only have 2.

I'm using the data type "money" in my SQL database and want to convert what's in txtPrice_textBox to the "money" format. I'm currently using the following code:
' objectCym.price = Convert.ToInt16(txtPrice_textBox.Text) '
Will this work? Is there any reason I should stay away from the "Money" data type?
Thanks,
David
Hi, How would I convert(or format) money data type, so the output will be like: 123,456.78 or 12,345.67
(In other words how would I insert a comma which separates hundred from thousand...)
Thanks a lot,
Andy
I'm using the money data type in a field - but (obvious to me) I need the data to contain two decimal places NO MATTER WHAT - even if they are zeros!
I keep putting in "5.20" and I get "5.2".
How do I keep this from happening? I need both decimal places! I thought about using a text field - but that seems to be wasteful and I would have to do a type cast to do numeric computations.
There has to be a way to do this - this IS the purpose of the data type, isn't it??
Thanks for any help!!

Hi Guys,
We are looking for advice on what to do here; we started out with our db holding ex VAT pricing now. Now the problem is the money type can only hold a few decimal places so when we are converting prices to incl vat it can't actually output the correct pricing and it comes our very ugly.
Unfortunately there is no bigmoney data type so we are in a bit of an awkward position
Any idea's?
Hi All,
Is there a way to set a MONEY datatype to a scale (decimal places) of 2?
The default is set to 4 and I can't seem to find any resources on how to change it.
Do I have to add a check constraint to manually round to 2 decimals??
That seems unneccessary.... but if it is, boo-urns to sql server.
thanks!
I am trying to do some amount calculations.
The amount was declared as nvarchar data type.
I did the following coding. I want to get 2 places right of decimal
but am getting only one place right of decimal.
SELECT
(CAST(EQ_TotQuoteAmnt AS Float(7,2)) -
CAST(EQ_InsFee AS Float(7,2)) - 150) as Inforce_Premium
FROM Quoted
Can someone please help me with the syntax?
Thanks in advance.

How to display money type data properly, with commas every 3 digits?
I've tried :
CONVERT (money, ProjectCost, 1) AS ProjectCost
but it gives me the type as 1234.56 no commas in it?
can anyone help me with that?
thanks!
I've got several columns in my database stored as money type. For my purposes, when reporting this data I need to truncate trailing zeros after the decimal. I know I can create a function to do this. I think given the quantity of columns and the numerous queries accessing them, I will undoubtedly forget to use a function everywhere needed.
I thought user defined types may be a solution. I've never used them before. I would still like to store the data as a money type, but anytime it is accessed it would be formatted. Can user defined types do this, or is there a better way?
what is the recommended data type i should use if i want to have a price field that can include "TBA". i can't use smallmoney i suppose, so i should use VARCHAR then validate the String with Visual Studio?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have some data that I am outputting to a text file:
sum(sales)
where sales is datatype money. If I execute the query with query analyzer I get 4 decimals, but when it is output to a text file it rounds the number
Grid Text File
2182035.9600 2182035.96
961799.2400 961799.24
22104768.1850 22104768.185
If I do cast or convert it to money it does the same thing.
It really doesn't make a material difference for its intended use but I would like to keep it consistent with 4 decimals.
Should data type money allow nulls? Are there valid arguments both pro and con?
Yes, there is the age-old question regarding how one might interpret a NULL found in any column - does it mean the amount is not known or that the amount is zero (in the case of a numeric type)? You get the drift...
Other than that, though - are there any practical considerations an old data hound ought to be aware of?
Hi all!
I want to create a table. One of the columns should be in the data type MONEY with two digits on the right side of the decimal point.
How is that possible?
Thanks a lot and greetings from vienna

If I pull a value from a MSSQL field with is defined as money, how can I get it to display in a textbox with commas and NO decimals?
87000.0000 = 87,000
I can currently remove the decimals like below but is there a way to add the commas as well?
decRevenue = drMyData("Revenue")
txtRevenue.Text = decRevenue.ToString("f0")
It current shows "87000".
Happy Friday!
A while since I have posted a question, and this one is probably real easy.
I am trying to store numeric values from a php form in MSSQL 2000 database. However, the columns are set to float and if the value is 1.00, when entered into the table it is saved as 1
If I change the column type to money, the query fails, with an error message of conversion of datatype varchar to datatype money statement terminated.
anybody know what I need to do? do I need to do something in my query to specify that this is NOT varchar data?

hi all , does SQL server able to input the date that is originally from 2/6/2004 11:07:46 AM to DD-MM-YY 06-02-04 and store in the DB. For example , this is the SQL insert query
INSERT INTO ADMIN ( ID , NAME , DATE ) VALUES ( 'A001' , 'karen' ,'2/6/2004 11:07:46 AM')
the date will automatically converted to 06-02-04 and store in DB .
Does it need to use SQL Rule or user-defined data type.
I use asp.net 2.0 and sql server 2005 for a web site (and Microsoft enterprise library).When I run aplication at local there is no problem but at the server I take this error:Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table 'dbname.dbo.shopProducts', column 'productPrice'. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.productPrice coloumn format is money. It was working correctly my old server but now it crashed.How can I solve this problem? And why it isn't work same configuration? My code:decimal productPrice;Database db = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase("connection");string sqlCommand = "update shopProducts set ......................,productPrice='" + productPrice.ToString().Replace(",", ".") + "',..................... where productID=" + productID + " ";db.ExecuteNonQuery(CommandType.Text, sqlCommand)

This may be an easy question but I've been reading for about a halfhour and experimenting without results.I simply want the results of my query to display a specific field thatis typed "money" using + and -The program that consumes the data expects + on positive numbers and -on negative. I was hoping to do it in the view instead of processingthe results with the VB application that interogates the DB.Thanks

I'm designing a database that stores personal details of students and teachers for a school. I, wish to know if a there is away of formatting the bit data type to male/female. Cause i am only able to achieve 0 and 1 in this data type. So is there any way to change it, or is there any other data type suitable to provide only two options Also the database should be protected in a way that students may not be able to view or change. Only teachers/admin have the right to access/modify the data.
