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?
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?
The table in SQL has column Availability Decimal (8,8)
Code in c# using sqlbulkcopy trying to insert values like 0.0000, 0.9999, 29.999 into the field Availability we tried the datatype float , but it is converting values to scientific expressions€¦(eg: 8E-05) and the values displayed in reports are scientifc expressions which is not expected we need to store values as is

I have decimal(6,2) defined in a column. If I insert 90.6, it will display 90.60 , 0 becomes .00 . Is there a way or configuration change so the 0's will on the last will not be showing. And the 0 will display as 0 not .00?

I am using the statement below to calculate the average scores of the columns. When the result set is returned I would like to have a scale of 2. I am currently returning a scale of 6. What could I do to fix this?
Thanks for you help, John

This one cost me a solid half hour yesterday. I'm wondering why onearth the default precision for a decimal type is 18,0. Maybe I'mmistaken. A decimal datatype sort of implies that you'd want somethingafter the decimal!Question is, can I set this database-wide? Like all new decimaldatatypes have a precision of 12,6 or something like that? I haven'tseen anything about this in the googling I have done...
I need to store 256 bit hash (SHA-2 alogrithmn) in one of the table'sprimary key. I would prefer to use numeric data type rather varcharetc.* Decimal datatype range is -10^38 +1 to 10^38 -1. I can split my 256bit hash into two decimal(38, 0) type columns as composite key* I can store the hash as varbinary. I never used it and don't havemuch understanding in terms of query writing complexities and dealingit through ADO (data type etc.)It would be heavy OLTP type of systems with hash based primary keyused in joins for data retrieval as well.Please provide your expert comments on this.RegardsAnil
Hi Experts, I have an urgent needs. I want to store null for decimal type to sql server. But I do not know how to do that. I get data from user input. If the user did not enter anything in the textbox, then I want to store null to sql server. I list a piece od code below. I got error in the last line fItemObject.ChargeAmount = null;. if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtDescription.Text)) myObject.LongDesc = txtLongDesc.Text; else myObject.LongDesc = null; if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtAmount.Text)) myObject.Amount = Convert.ToDecimal(txtChargeAmount.Text); else myObject.ChargeAmount = null; // Then I submit the myobject to the sql server. Thank you very much in adavance!
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
I have just loaded my db table from an excel file using the import wizard. Prior to the import, I set my data types and in the field that I need a number with 1 decimal place I chose a decimal data type.
Made since to me
However, now my numbers do not have the decimals. Please help.
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'm trying to update a decimal field with a single decimal number (1.8) the problem i'm having, is that it's rounding the number up (2). I would've thought that a decimal datatype would keep the decimal places correct?
This is quite annoying.. I've been searching around the web for an answer.. To no avail (I'm probably asking the wrong question)
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
I am trying to have an Excecute SQL Task return a single row result set executed on SQL Server 2005.

I get a conversion error when trying to assign to SSIS variables of type Double. I have nothing configured in the "Parameter Mapping" tab. I have the two SSIS Double variables mapped to the Tesult Name 0 and 1 in the "Result Set" tab
I don't want to use a for loop enumerator since there is a single row returned.
I simply want to assign these two values to SSIS Double variables (double is the closest match)
I can't even hack this by converting the decimals as string and then using DirectCast to convert them to Double.
Hi.. I have a column in the data base with the type Float, I want to limit the number of digits after decimal point to 2 when I display the value in ASP.NET but I don't know how!? the number that appear after calculation llike "93.333333" I use decimal(2,2) as data type but an error accour and this is the message "- Unable to modify table. Arithmetic overflow error converting float to data type numeric.The statement has been terminated." Can you help me.. thanks
So my data is delivered as numeric(9,2)...like 100.00. I have to extract that data and store it as a varchar 0 filled without the decimal place...like 0000010000///I tried the following and it did not work...
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.
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)
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.
I am having a file in which amount fields are given in a Packed Decimal format. Can anyone suggest me how I can read this data element from the file and convert it into SQL decimal datatype.
File is a fixed length. All the amount fields are given in Packed Decimal Format and rest of the fields are given in text format. How can i identify and convert only those packed decimals using SQL/.Net.
Example : a row in a file that has some packed decimals 158203508540188236252EUR20BZK0030 Ĺ“& 20060715 0001010100010101
