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?
View 1 RepliesHi,
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.
regards
Why does the money data type have 4 decimal places eg £134.3453 or $12.3636
I would have expected it to only have 2.

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?
Thanks,
David
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, 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...)
Thanks a lot,

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??
Thanks for any help!!

Hi Guys,
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
Any idea's?
Hi All,
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.
thanks!
I am trying to do some amount calculations.
The amount was declared as nvarchar data type.
I did the following coding. I want to get 2 places right of decimal
but am getting only one place right of decimal.
SELECT
(CAST(EQ_TotQuoteAmnt AS Float(7,2)) -
CAST(EQ_InsFee AS Float(7,2)) - 150) as Inforce_Premium
FROM Quoted
Can someone please help me with the syntax?
Thanks in advance.

How to display money type data properly, with commas every 3 digits?
I've tried :
CONVERT (money, ProjectCost, 1) AS ProjectCost
but it gives me the type as 1234.56 no commas in it?
can anyone help me with that?
thanks!
I have some data that I am outputting to a text file:
sum(sales)
where sales is datatype money. If I execute the query with query analyzer I get 4 decimals, but when it is output to a text file it rounds the number
Grid Text File
2182035.9600 2182035.96
961799.2400 961799.24
22104768.1850 22104768.185
If I do cast or convert it to money it does the same thing.
It really doesn't make a material difference for its intended use but I would like to keep it consistent with 4 decimals.
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?
Hi all!
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?
Thanks a lot and greetings from vienna

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?
We are replicating data from server1 to server2. We expect the connection between servers to be reliable, but we can not always guarantee uptime on both ends. We do not need real-time data access on server2. What type of replication would be best? The downside we see to snapshot is that the data will be growing over time and that means the amount replicated will continue to grow. Can we setup transaction replication and then schedule the updates so it only replicates transactions since the last update? Does this present any problems if the connection is lost at any time between the servers? At this time, we will not be making any changes to the data on server2 so it does not need to be updated on server1.

any function is there?
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

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
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have to add the unit price on the order acknowledgement for products on our shelf.
Each product has different price breaks stored in a table called MaterialUnitCost.
I don't know how to pull the correct price based on the order quantity.
Let's say the customer orders 200 pieces,
I sell 1 pcs @ $20
50 pcs @$15
200 pcs @$10.
My order acknowledgement should pull a unit price of $10, but it pulls $20 instead, because in my select statement I have
select materialunitcost.unitcost.
I thought I should do a loop or use the row_number function, but I am new to SQL, and I never used any of these two.

Just wondering which scenarios is suitable to use SQLCLR. Any kind of data access is not recommended I guess. Only things that cannot be easily done in TSQL should be done in SQLCLR but why? Can't those things be done in app layer itself? Scenarios recommended for SQL CLR:
- External data access like filesystem, registry etc
- Complex calculation
- Recursion without data access (this can be implemented with CTE for data access)
If data access with SQL CLR is not recommended why should CLR should be even used and logic reside in database layer.. it makes no sense to me. Any thoughts??

giving a use access to enter data into one database table.
I know Access is an option, but I was wondering if there was another, like MS Word or Adobe.
This is a SSMS database, 2008.
I want to, for each month of the year 2014 say, to create a loop that will enter data into a table.
Right now I have:
Select [Member Number],
sum(case when [Receipt Date]='2014/01/01' then Amount else 0 end) as [Rec 2014/01/01]
From [Receipts Table]
Group by [Member Number]
Insert into [Receipts 2014/01/01]
[Code] ....
Instead I would just like to do something like…
Declare i date
For i=2014/01/01 to 2014/12/01
Select [Member Number],
sum(case when [Receipt Date]=i then Amount else 0 end) as [Rec +i]
From [Receipts Table]
Group by [Member Number]
Insert into [Receipts + i]
Don’t know if this is at all possible?
sorry for my question, maybe it seems un professional but I need to know the answer,
is it possible to enter the data in a sql table in a specific format and how it could be?
for example I want to have a mask in the table to enter the data in this format ##.## so it will not accept any other data to be typed in without this format.
