View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to print in an error message a money value but have to convert it to a varchar first. I do not have any clue how to do this. Could someone help me out?
SELECT @iError = @@error, @iRowCount = @@rowcount
IF(@iError <> 0 OR @iRowCount <> 1)
BEGIN
CONVERT(@dValue, @cValue)
set @cError = 'Error attempting to insert new record. Product : ' + @cProduct + ' Sub-account : ' + @cSubAccount + ' Cost : $' + @cValue
RAISERROR(@cError, 16, 1)
END
@cValue is a varchar(20)
@dValue is money
Any help?

How do you use the convert function to change the data before the update? Thank You!

if I 'print' a MONEY value, or cast a MONEY variable to VARCHAR, it automatically rounds it to two decimal places. Maybe that's a built-in convenience, but I'd like to make it not do that.My workaround right now is to first cast my MONEY variabled to DECIMAL(30,4), and then cast the result to VARCHAR, but I'd like to avoid that step if possible.Consider the following
query:DECLARE @UnitCost MONEY  SET @UnitCost = .0167  SELECT      @UnitCost,     Â
CAST(@UnitCost AS VARCHAR(30)),    Â
CAST(CAST(@UnitCost AS DECIMAL(30, 4)) AS VARCHAR(30))  -
- Results in: 0.0167, 0.02, 0.0167Â
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.
I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?
I am trying to create a store procedure inside of SQL Management Studio console and I kept getting errors. Here's my store procedure.
Code Block
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sqlOutlookSearch]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@OLIssueID int = NULL,
@searchString varchar(1000) = NULL
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for procedure here
IF @OLIssueID <> 11111
SELECT * FROM [OLissue], [Outlook]
WHERE [OLissue].[issueID] = @OLIssueID AND [OLissue].[issueID] = [Outlook].[issueID] AND [Outlook].[contents] LIKE + ''%'' + @searchString + ''%''
ELSE
SELECT * FROM [Outlook]
WHERE [Outlook].[contents] LIKE + ''%'' + @searchString + ''%''
END
And the error I kept getting is:
Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sqlOutlookSearch, Line 18
The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the modulo operator.
Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sqlOutlookSearch, Line 21
The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the modulo operator.
Any help is appreciated.
For the life of me I cannot figure out why SSIS will not convert varchar data. instead of using the table to table method, I wrote a SQL query so that I could transform the datatype ntext to varchar 512 understanding that natively MS is going towards all Unicode applications.
The source fields from Access are int, int, int and varchar(512). The same is true of the destination within SQL Server 2005. the field 'Answer' is the varchar field in question....
I get the following error

DTS used to be a very strong tool but a simple import such as this is causing me extreme grief and wondering of SQL2005 is ready for primetime. FYI SP1 is installed. I am running this from a workstation and not on the server if that makes a difference...
Any help would be appreciated.
I have a table that contains a lot of demographic information. The data is usually small (<20 chars) but ocassionally needs to handle large values (250 chars). Right now its set up for varchar(max) and I don't think I want to do this.
How does varchar(max) store info differently from varchar(250)? Either way doesn't it have to hold the container information? So the word "Crackers" have 8 characters to it and information sayings its 8 characters long in both cases. This meaning its taking up same amount of space?
Also my concern will be running queries off of it, does a varchar(max) choke up queries because the fields cannot be properly analyzed? Is varchar(250) any better?
Should I just go with char(250) and watch my db size explode?
Usually the data that is 250 characters contain a lot of blank space that is removed using a SPROC so its not usually 250 characters for long.
Any insight to this would be appreciated.
Hi,I'm having some trouble with my asp.net page and my sql database. What I'm trying to do is allow the user to upload an number to the database, the number is a money amount like 2.00 (£2.00) or 20.00(£20.00). I've tried using money and smallmoney datatypes but the numbers usually end up looking like this in the database...I enter 2.00 and in the database it looks like 2.00000, and even if I enter the information directly into the database I get the same results. I'm not going to be using big numbers with lots of decimal places like this 1000,000,0000. Can anyone help me? All I want is to know what to set the value to on my aspx page and what setting to set the field to in my database, I'd just like two pound to appear as 2.00. any help would be great.
I'm using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 if that helps.
Thanks.
Please i need to display the money column in DataBase in an asp.net page but i get something like this 786.0000 how can i format it so that i get something like 786.00

Hi All,
Here in Belgium, we work with a comma as decimal seperator, also in all the web apps...
I've tried to update a money table on the sql with following statement
update parts set article = '" & art & "' and price= cast(" & p & " as decimal(5,2)) where supid=202
in this example p is a variable and contains figures like 5,7
This statement always give following error Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
does some have an idea how to fix this one ?
thx
Is there a way to format the output of an calculation so that a comma is used as decimal symbaol and a periode after each 3 digits left of the comma ?
We're calculating salary increase like 5000 * 1.025 and the output should look like 5.250,00
Thanks for any help

Greetings,
How do you keep or round a money datatype to use only 2 decimal places? I have an instance where I am multiplying a money with a decimal datatype. The decimal has up to 8 decimal places. This is causing the money datattype to extend to 4 decimal places. This makes for problems when I am comparing 2 values.
ex.)
IF 14.88 >= 14.8821
99% of the time this does not happen, but is causing problems. Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance,
Roger

Hi all. Is there a way in SQL to convert the integer to currency format? just for example....
4000 convert to 4,000
1312500 convert to 1,312,500
30000 convert to 30,000
Most of you will say "Do it in your front end"... but the problem is I don't know how to do it in my Report(Business Intelligence Project). If anyone of you knows, tell me please... Thanks. :)

Do you usually use the money or smallmoney datatype for US dollars in a table, or do you use a decimal datatype, and if so which. Any opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of each?
If you use money or smallmoney, do you usually add a constraint to make sure the value is even to the penny (no $24.3487 type amounts)?

I'm looking for a way to "secure" a column of MONEY values. The idea is to hide the value without resorting to actual SQL encryption services that would require converting the MONEY to a VARBINARY. In short, I want to keep the column type as MONEY, but I want to scramble the value, so its still a valid MONEY type.
The goal is to have a pair of UDF's SCRAMBLE() and UNSCRAMBLE() that work on MONEY.
I've done some searching, but have not found anything along this topic.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
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.

have a SQL server table with a vairbale unitCost of type money and via a stored procedure I am trying to update it. Through asp I capture the value as a string and then ATTEMPT to convert it into a variable of type money before executing the stored procedure as follows.

parameterUnitCost.Value = unitCost;
myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterUnitCost);
This gives me an input string error. On the other hand if I change that line to the following, the page works flawlessley:
