This is not a real big deal, cause I worked around it.. but I just tried to INCREASE the scale on a decimal column & got an arithmatic overflow error. I can understand why this would occur if trying to decrease the scale, but not increasing it. This is not a computed column.. why does SQL give an overflow error if all it has to do is add a couple of zeros to the end? Yes, I know SQL considers them to be different data types, but this is still confusing me.
I've a SQL view performing a number of very precise calculations ie.495/(1.112 - (.00043499*((Col1 + Col2 + Col3))) + ( .00000055 * ((Col1+ Col2 + Col3)) * ((Col1 + Col2 + Col3))) - (.00028826 * Col4))) -450)/100Obviously this sometimes causes a precision issues because the floatand real datatypes don't hold precise values... My problem is thatconverting to the numeric or decimal datatype easily produces an errorif the precision is not big enough to hold the resulting output... Sohere's my questions:Does anyone see a problem with me maxing out the precision of thedecimal datatype (ie. use DECIMAL(38,8) across a couple dozeninter-related formulas?So the above code would now exec like this:495/(CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),1.112) -(CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),.00043499)*((Col1 + Col2 + Col3))) +(CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),.00000055) * ((Col1 + Col2 + Col3)) * ((Col1 +Col2 + Col3))) - (CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),.00028826) * Col4))) - 450)/100If anyone does see a problem with this approach, could you suggestanother alternative?
I am trying to setup an indicator value for an SSRS report to show green and red values on a report, based on the NRESULT value. The problem I am facing is that I have several different CASE statements that have the same logic, and they are processing just fine. NRESULT is a decimal field, so no conversion should be necessary. I do not know why I am getting the "Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric." error message.
Below is the CASE statement where the error is occurring. It is in the part of the ELSE CASE. The first CASE works just fine when the ELSE CASE is commented out. If I also change the ELSE CASE statement to say "else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then '0'", then it processes fine, too, so it has to be something I am missing something in the check on negative values. I do need the two checks, one for positive and one for negative values, to take place.
case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) <> '-' then --This portion, for checking positive values, of the CASE statement works fine. CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) between 0.00 and 0.49 THEN '2' --Green ELSE CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) > 0.49 THEN '0' --Red ELSE '3' --White END END else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then --This portion, for checking negative values, of the CASE statement is producing the conversion error message.
[code]....
I checked the NRESULT field, and there are not any NULL values in there, either.
Hi guys, In the query below, I need to insert a new Column that shows the last Document date. In example, Document Date Last Date 2006/01/15 2007/11/30 2007/03/25 2007/11/30 2007/11/30 2007/11/30 I need to show the last (max) date for each row. Thanks in advance for any help, Aldo.

Is there a way to alter the default 256 value to some other value in a transac SQL script? The value can be changed manually in the advanced tab of the current connection options. I need to be able to set and reset this value in a script and/or stored procedure. Kind of urgent for an answer to this problem. Thanks in advance.
In a query Analyser, there is a provision to change the "Maximum characters per column 256 " to our size in advanced option.
It works ok.
We are using VisualInterdev for developing ASP's -- there thro ADO - we are getting the rows from sql server 7.0 -- there data more than 256 characters are truncated.
How will i get the actual data ?.. where i can do the settings..?

I have some code I build 2 weeks ago which I’ve been running daily but it’s suddenly stopped working with the following error.
“The table "tbl_Intraday_Tmp" has been created, but its maximum row size exceeds the allowed maximum of 8060 bytes. INSERT or UPDATE to this table will fail if the resulting row exceeds the size limit” When I google this there seems to be a related to tables with vast numbers of columns.
My table tbl_Intraday_tmp is relatively small. It has 7 columns. 1 of varchar(5), 3 of decimal(9,3) and 2 of decimal(18,0). The bit I’m puzzled with is it was working and stopped.
I don’t recall changing anything but I wouldn’t rule that out. I ‘ve inspected the source files and I don’t believe they have changed either.
Hello,How should I create a column to save data with the folowing format 10.10 or 10.20 or 10.30 or 150.30 or 10 or 150.It is basically process step in a diagram flow.I tried with decimal but with 10.10 , it removes automatically the 0.Thanks
Trying to get a dataset. My select statement is "SELECT Com_year,Avg(GPA) FROM Pilot_Stats WHERE com_source = 0 GROUP BY Pilot_Stats.com_year ORDER BY Pilot_Stats.com_year"
Where Com_Year is an integer (ie 1984, 1986, etc) Where GPA is a decimal (ie 3.4, 3.0, etc) Where com_source is an integer
This returns this error when I try to fill the dataset:
Decimal byte array constructor requires an array of length four containing valid decimal bytes.
For some reason it's hanging up on Averaging this Decimal column for some reason...

is there any more efficient way for example to implement the next query?
SELECT s1.article, dealer, s1.price FROM shop s1 JOIN ( SELECT article, MAX(price) AS price FROM shop GROUP BY article) AS s2 ON s1.article = s2.article AND s1.price = s2.price; WHERE dealer = 'dealer sample'
I want to find out if a ceratin column has values with decimal figures populated? for example say column A has values
10.00 20.00 30.00 50.01
in this case the query should let me know that there is one figure (50.01) with a actual decimal value. So the results of the query should be 1 (since one record has decimal figures <>.00)
This problem is strictly an SQL problem, and I am about to lose my mind over it. I have a table named Inventory that has a column named PartialQty which is of type DECIMAL(11,4). I have shortened my query for simplicity, but here it is. DECLARE @pqty1 DECIMAL(11,4) SELECT @pqty1 = PartialQty FROM Inventory WHERE InventoryID = @invIDPRINT @pqty1 UPDATE Inventory SET PartialQty = 6.5513 WHERE InventoryID = @invID SELECT @pqty1 = PartialQty FROM Inventory WHERE InventoryID = @invIDPRINT @pqty1 Before this query is ran, the value in PartialQty is 1.2345. If I run this 2 times in a row, this is the output I get: RUN 1: 1.2345 (1 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected) 6.0000
RUN 2: 6.0000 (1 row(s) affected) 6.5513
I don't understand 2 things. One is why the first run displays (1 row(s) affected) 4 times even though there is only one record with that InventoryID. And the other thing I don't understand is why the first time I run it, it loses all of the values after the decimal point. Please help, Scott
How do I limit the decimal points in a computed column. SSE 2005 seems to override the precision and scale I set in either GUI or by creating the table by query.
We are importing Flat file data from our Mainframe system. We have a lot of money amounts coming in, but the mainframe does not store the decimals in the flat file. So for example a row in the file might look like this:
+0000007894-0000000563
Where the first value is $78.94 and the second value is -$5.63
Is there anyway to have the Flat file connection manager put in the decimal place for me, or do i have to create derived columns for each column and divide it by 100? There like 50-100 columns per file, so i'm looking for a better, quicker way.
I have a routine that generates an HTML email and sends it just fine, but one of the columns ends up with 4 decimal places for a column datatype of money. How can I get the script to output only 2 decimal places for the amount column from the select statement?
I am working with a legacy SQL server database from SQL Server 2000. I noticed that in some places that they use decimal data types, that I would normally think they should be using integer data types. Why is this does anyone know?
Example: AutomobileTypeId (PK, decimal(10,0), not null)
SQL Server 2000 8.00.760 (SP3)I've been working on a test system and the following UDF worked fine.It runs in the "current" database, and references another database onthe same server called 127-SuperQuote.CREATE FUNCTION fnGetFormattedAddress(@WorkID int)RETURNS varchar(130)ASBEGINDECLARE@Address1 As varchar(50)@ReturnAddress As varchar(130)SELECT@Address1 = [127-SuperQuote].dbo.tblCompany.Address1FROM[Work] INNER JOIN[127-SuperQuote].dbo.tblCompany ON [Work].ClientID =[127-SuperQuote].dbo.tblCompany.CompanyIDWHERE[Work].WorkID = @WorkIDIF @Address1 IS NOT NULLSET @ReturnAddress = @ReturnAddress + @Address1 + CHAR(13)+ CHAR(10)RETURN @ReturnAddressENDSo now the system has gone live and it turns out that the live"SuperQuote" database is on a different server.I've linked the server and changed the function as below, but I get anerror both in QA and when checking Syntax in the UDF builder:The number name 'Zen.SuperQuote.dbo.tblCompany' contains more than themaximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 3.CREATE FUNCTION fnGetFormattedAddress(@WorkID int)RETURNS varchar(130)ASBEGINDECLARE@Address1 As varchar(50)@ReturnAddress As varchar(130)SELECT@Address1 = Zen.SuperQuote.dbo.tblCompany.Address1FROM[Work] INNER JOINZen.SuperQuote.dbo.tblCompany ON [Work].ClientID =Zen.SuperQuote.dbo.tblCompany.CompanyIDWHERE[Work].WorkID = @WorkIDIF @Address1 IS NOT NULLSET @ReturnAddress = @ReturnAddress + @Address1 + CHAR(13)+ CHAR(10)RETURN @ReturnAddressENDHow can I get round this? By the way, I've rather simplified thefunction to ease readability. Also, I haven't posted any DDL because Idon't think that's the problem!ThanksEdward
I am creating a table on SQL Server. One of the columns in this new table contains whole integer as wells as decimal values (i.e. 4500 0.9876). I currently have this column defined as Decimal(12,4). This adds 4 digits after the decimal point to the whole integers. Is there a data type that will have the decimal point only for decimal values and no decimal point for the whole integers?
I would like to cast (convert) data type decimal(24,4) to decimal(21,4). I could not do this using standard casting function CAST(@variable as decimal(21,4)) or CONVERT(decimal(21,4),@variable) because of the following error: "Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric." Is that because of possible loss of the value?
I wanted to convert a dataset from vb.net (2.0) to an .XLS file, by MS Jet. My national standard is using decimal commas, not decimal points for numbers signing the beginning of decimal places. But the MS Jet Engine uses decimal point,in default. Therefore, in the Excel file only string formatted cells can welcome this data, not number formatted. How can I solve or get around this problem? (with jet if it possible) iviczl
I'd like to convert a Decimal value into a string so that the entireoriginal value and length remains intact but there is no decimal point.For example, the decimal value 6.250 is selected as 06250.Can this be done?
I am designing some reports for a German branch of my company and need to replace decimal point with a comma and the thousand comma seperator with a decimal point.
e.g. 1,500,123.00 to 1.500.123,00
Is there a property that I can change in the report designer to allow this to happen or is this something I need to convert in a Stored Proc.
