Is there a numeric data type that formats the number with commas - eg 1000 becomes 1,000 and 1000000 becomes 1,000,000.
Having tried several numeric data types the commas are removed. I tried entering 1000 into MS Access on the same machine and hey presto - it spits out 1,000.
when I run below query I got Error of Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric
declare @a numeric(16,4)
set @a=99362600999900.0000
The 99362600999900 value before numeric is 14 and variable that i declared is of 16 length. Then why this error is coming ? When I set Length 18 then error removed.
Guys
I'm getting the above when trying to populate a variable. The values in question are :
@N = 21
@SumXY = -1303765191530058.2251000000
@SumXSumY = -5338556963168643.7875000000
When I run, SELECT (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY) in QA I get the result OK which is -28500190448996439680147097583285.072256 ie 32 places to left of decimal and 6 to the right
When I try the following ie to populate a variable with that value I get the error -
SELECT R2Top = (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY)@R2Top is NUMERIC (38, 10)
Any ideas ??
Hi,
I have one column in which i have Alpha-numeric data like
COLUMN X
-----------------------
+91 (876) 098 6789

.
so on.
I want to remove Non-numeric characters from above (space,'(',')',+,........)

I need to replace Access Val() functions with similiar function in sql.
i.e. Return 123 from the statement: SELECT functionname(123mls)
Return 4.56 from the satement: SELECT functionname(4.56tonnes)
Any one with ideas please
Thanks

Hi,
I was trying to find numeric characters in a field of nvarchar. I looked this up in HELP.
Wildcard
Meaning
%
Any string of zero or more characters.
_
Any single character.
[ ]
Any single character within the specified range (for example, [a-f]) or set (for example, [abcdef]).
Any single character not within the specified range (for example, [^a - f]) or set (for example, [^abcdef]).
Nowhere in the examples below it in Help was it explicitly detailed that a user could do this.
In MS Access the # can be substituted for any numeric character such that I could do a WHERE clause:
WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE "####*"
After looking at the above for the [ ] wildcard, it became clear that I could subsitute [0-9] for #:
WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
using single quotes and the % wildcard instead of Access' double quotes and * wildcard.
Just putting this out there for anybody else that is new to SQL, like me.

Hi everyone,
In sql server 7.0 what does in mean when we have numeric(4,3). What does precision and scale means?
Thank you
The data type in the table is decimal with a precision set to 19 and a scale set to 2 and nothing for the default value.
I need to use updates or inserts that will allow a value of nothing or null to be inserted.
UPDATE TableName SET fldAmount = '' WHERE fldIssue = 'ABC'
But this fails because of the amount field.
This statement works, but is not good for me because 0 is not accurate.
UPDATE TableName SET fldAmount = '0' WHERE fldIssue = 'ABC'
How can I insert nothing?
Thanks
Hello,Im calling a stored proc that has a numeric value as a varible.In the asp im using the code:myPrivate.Parameters.Add("@memberID", SqlDbType.Decimal, 18).Value = Decimal.Parse(uxToText.Text);I'm using decimal as there is no numeric sqldb type, is this correct? Also is the decimal parse correct as Im getting a 'Input string was not in a correct format' error.Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am from the school of thought that you should in every case have your primary keys as numeric values only. However, where I currently work there is a project leader who is a recent FoxPro convert (I know, they are tough ones to crack). I made the suggestion recently that the keys in the table should be numeric and with him being the project leader and me just a lowely developer he said get lost. I made the point that later joining your tables together in a PK/FK relationship where the keys where character would be slower then with numeric keys. He didn't listen and now we are approaching production with a database that is really just a bunch of text file. He said that with SQL 7 it doesn't matter if the pk is numeric or character. I disagree. But I need solid documentation to take to him and to the managers to convince them. If anyone out there could advise me on this. And if anyone could give me or tell me where I could find documentation on why even in SQL 7 there is a need to use numeric keys that would be a great help and you would be making one more shop in this world a little bit more technically sound :-) Thank you in advance for your help.

for example, in a query,
select * from abc where emp_no = N'1234567';
I get the same results if I use this:
select * from abc where emp_no = '1234567';
so what's the point of using the 'N' in front of the numeric value?
Hi--

All,
I'm having trouble with a query where I need to limit a resultset by comparing (using a WHERE clause) a field that is alphanumeric with one that is numeric. I've tried converting, casting, and case statements, but I either get an overflow error or a big slap on the wrist by SQL Server 2005. Does anyone have any good solutions to this? I've been racking my brain for a while now.
Thanks for the help!

It seems that the primary key field accepts numeric data, isn't it possible to have a primary key with non-numeric data? This is because this is a lookup table with a small number of rows.
I am keep getting an arithmetic overflow converting float to type numeric when running a script that looks something like this.
insert into table1
(
column1
)
select
column2
from source server.
column1 is a numeric (28,8) and column2 is float.
there are about 2000000 records in column2, and I know that when I tried just copying the top 1000000 wasn't a problem.
does anyone know what could be causing this problem???
*it's not because the data in column2 is out of range.
thank you
I want to fin out the number of records that are not numeric on my database, how can I fin that using an SQL query?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHere's my LINQ code:pl = (from p in db.Table where p.ID == 1 orderby p.NumericField descending select p).Take(7);
As you can see, I'm trying to sort by a numeric field. Specifically, it's a Numeric(5,0) field.
Problem is, the results aren't coming back numeric order. If this is good LINQ code, perhaps it's something else in my app. I just want to make sure this LINQ code is good.
Thanks in advance
I'm using a DTS package to import a large CSV file. There is a particular column that contains text or numbers. I want to delete the row if that column has a number, I've used IsNumeric in the selection portion of the statement, but can't figure out how to use it as part of my where clause.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database table with 2 numeric fields. The values to be inserted into these fields come from text boxes in an ASP.NET page. So in the parameters to add into these fields I simply use 'textbox1.text' & textbox2.text'.
One of the fields accepts the data within the text box and adds it into the appropriate numeric data field in the table. However on the other text box I get an error message 'Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric.'
Does anyone know why this occurs just on the one entry and not the other?, and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get around this please let me know.
Many Thanks
Have imported a file from AS400 into SQL and get the Date numeric as yyyymmdd.

Hello, everyone!
What are the precision & the scale values in the numeric field for?(as also in int, etc).I need to have a field that is exactly 6 digits in length. However , when I enter the value , in the length column , it defaults to either 5 or 9 , depending on the precision values. Also when I enter the data , that field accepts not only 9(defined with precision of 10), but more than that, till about 15 digits!!…I think I am not clear on the use of precision…what do I need to define the field as so it accepts only 6 digits? Please enlighten me .
Thanks in advance!
using this syntax numeric() can someone pls help me with the syntax to create a numeric column with a scale of 6 thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am unfamiliar with the built-in functions in SQL Server. I would like to display a numeric
field with leading zeros. In oracle the sql stmt would be:
SELECT TO_CHAR(amt,'000000')
FROM table_x;
Thus, the number 35 would be returned as 000035.
Is there a way to do this in SQL Server?
Thanks.

I noticed in SQL ODBC API reference that SQLGetTypeInfo would return true for AUTO_INCREMENT if a smallint field is defined as autoincrement. Is there a simple way to set a field autoincrement thru the SQL Server`s front end?

I'm in the process of building a site and converting views/tables/queries from an Access database to SQL. I've done this quite a few times, and never had any significant issues I couldn't figure out on my own.
In Enterprise Manager, I've created a view and in the query, I need to create an alias that is similar to below:
SELECT ((monthmult) + ((b2avg*15)-(av2*10)) + (lp1+lp2) + ((b1avg*30)-(av1*20))) as PIndexValue
which is how the formula reads in the Access view.
However, when I got to run the query, SQL strips out all of the parentheses and calculates the value in left to right order:
(monthmult + b2avg*15-av2*10 + lp1+lp2 + b1avg*30-av1*20) as PIndexValue
Which gives me an incorrect value.
Does anyone know why this is happening, or am I just unaware of the right way of doing it?
Thank you,
Derrick
Hi,
This may seem like a simple question to be asking but I’m not the most experienced working with DTS loads and can't understand (don't know) why my load is failing.
I am trying to load in a text file comma separated into a table I have created.
It consists of only 5 entries
01 - varchar (20)
02 - smalldatetime
03 - smalldatetime
04 - numeric Scale (1)
05 - numeric Scale (1)
Here are the first two lines from my file,
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS1,02/02/2005,05/02/2005,0,1
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS2,01/02/2005/06/02/2005,1,1
As far as I can se it should be working but it gives me the error:
The number of failing rows exceeds the maximum specified.
TransformCopy 'DTSTransformation_4'conversion error: General conversion failure on column pair (source column 'Col004(DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'Result1' (DBTYPE_NUMERIC)).
Help.
Can't figure out what’s going on so any ideas would be useful.
Cheers.
I've got a set of records that has a varchar data type with most of the info being numeric, i.e.
002563256
025636982
000025632
99% of the data is similar to this but there are a few oddbals with alpha characters:
a2532222
is there a way to put something like an 'is numeric' in the where clause?
