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??
I choose a price field as a money data type, but I cannot change thescale of this.the default scale is 4 (it dimmed).how can I change to 2? I only need 2 scale such as $23.33 instead of$23.3344
Hi, 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?
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?
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...)
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
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.
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?
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?
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?
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?
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 write using the SQL ODBC driver from software into a SLQ table called UPSSHIPMENT the format is as followed: JobNumber varchar 50 Weight real 4 FreightCost varchar 8 TrackingNumber varchar 50 Shipmethod varchar 50 VOIDID varchar 3
I then have a trigger set to update the PACKAGE table as followed CREATE TRIGGER [UPS] ON dbo.UPSSHIPMENT FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN UPDATE PACKAGE SET WEIGHT = inserted.WEIGHT, FREIGHTCOST = inserted.FREIGHTCOST, TRACKINGNUMBER = inserted.TRACKINGNUMBER, COMMENTS = inserted.SHIPMETHOD FROM PACKAGE INNER JOIN inserted on PACKAGE.JOBNUMBER = inserted.JOBNUMBER WHERE inserted.VOIDID = 'N'
UPDATE PACKAGE SET WEIGHT = '', FREIGHTCOST = '0.00', TRACKINGNUMBER = '', COMMENTS = 'UPS VOID' FROM PACKAGE INNER JOIN inserted on PACKAGE.JOBNUMBER = inserted.JOBNUMBER WHERE inserted.VOIDID = 'Y'
END
The format of the PACKAGE table is as followed Jobnumber varchar 50 FreightCost money 8 TrackingNumber varchar 50 Comments varchar 2000 Weight real 4
I am getting the following error --------------------------- Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) --------------------------- Error 260: Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table 'TESTing.dbo.Package', column 'FreightCost'. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------
How do you use the convert function to change the data before the update? Thank You! :mad:
Here's what I want to do: I've got a table with orders, each order hasa specific discountrate (an int, which represents a percentage). Eachorder consists of 1 or more items in another table, each item in thattable has a price. Now I want to return the full price and thediscounted price (or the discounted amount).Here's a relevant excerpt of the code:------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE TABLE #tmp (OrderID Integer,Price money,Discount money)DECLARE @Discount moneySELECT @Discount =(((SELECT SUM(OrderDetails.Price * OrderDetailsAmount)FROM OrderDetailsWHERE OrderID = @orderID AND CustomerID = @CustomerID)+(SELECT ISNULL(SUM(OrderDetailsSupplement.Price *OrderDetailsAmount),0)FROM OrderDetailsSupplementINNER JOIN OrderDetails ONOrderDetailsSupplement.OrderDetailsID = OrderDetails.OrderDetailsIDWHERE OrderID = @orderID AND CustomerID = @CustomerID))*( @DiscountRate / 100 ))SELECT CustomerFull,SUM(Price) As Price,SUM(Discount) As Discount,SUM (Products) As Products,COUNT(@orderID) As OrdersFROM #tmpGROUP BY CustomerFullORDER BY CustomerFull------------------------------------------------------------------The problem: instead of getting a low number (like 0.57 for instance),I get a 0. Right now I've "solved" this by replacing "( @DiscountRate /100 )" with just "@DiscountRate" and then dividing by 100 in my aspcode, but I'd really like to know what I'm doing wrong.--BVH
I have a table in SQL 2005 with a field that has a value of type 'money'. When values are added, the field has 4 decimal places. Is there a way that I can make it only have 2 decimal places right away? Thanks!!!
I have a special need in a view for a money column to look like money and still be a money datatype. So I need it to look like $100.00 (prefered) or 100.00(can make work). If I convert like this '$' + CONVERT (NVARCHAR(12), dbo.tblpayments.Amount, 1) it is now a nvarchar and will not work for me. How can I cast so it is still money? by default the entries look like 100.0000. They must remain a money datatype.
Hi all,I have a table called PTRANS with few columns (see create script below).I have created a view on top that this table VwTransaction (See below)I can now run this query without a problem:select * from dbo.VwTransactionwhereAssetNumber = '101001' andTransactionDate <= '7/1/2003'But when I create an index on the PTRANS table using the command below:CREATE INDEX IDX_PTRANS_CHL# ON PTRANS(CHL#)The same query that ran fine before, fails with the error:Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted inan out-of-range datetime value.I can run the same query by commeting out the AssetNumber clause and itworks fine. I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error. Dropping the index solves theproblem.Can anyone tell me why an index would cause a query to fail?Thanks a lot in advance,AmirCREATE TABLE [PTRANS] ([CHL#] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CHCENT] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHYYMM] [numeric](4, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHDAY] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHTC] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE VIEW dbo.vwTransactionsASSELECT CONVERT(datetime, dbo.udf_AddDashes(REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHCENT)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHCENT) + REPLICATE('0', 4 -LEN(CHYYMM))+ CONVERT(varchar, CHYYMM) + REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHDAY)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHDAY)), 20) AS TransactionDate,CHL# AS AssetNumber,CHTC AS TransactionCodeFROM dbo.PTRANSWHERE (CHCENT <> 0) AND (CHTC <> 'RA')*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:
We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
What significant difference is there between the two data types when we are indeed dealing with monetary values (other than being able to set the precision and scale)?
Is there a performance gain from one over the other? Are there administrative-related concerns that should force someone to choose one over the other? Are there any concerns of the MONEY data type being sunsetted by Microsoft anytime in the near future?
Can someone please help me out here?
[EDIT] I was referring to "fields" in the first sentence when it should've been "data types". [/EDIT]
