SQL Server 2012 :: Float Value Converting To Exponential While Inserting To Varchar Field?
Aug 6, 2015Am converting varchar field to float and summing using group by and next inserting to varchar field(table).
while inserting float value it is converting to exponential ex:1.04177e+006 but if i execute only select statment actual float value will get display ex:1041765.726
My question is why it is converting while inserting ? and how to avoid it.
select query : SUM(CONVERT(float,(rtrim(REPLACE(REPLACE( column1, CHAR(13), ' '), CHAR(10), ' '))))) as AggregateValue
Real Figure Instead Of Exponential Figure Needed
May 29, 2008Hello,
I use OPENROWSET to read values from Excel and store them in a SQL Server table. In the Excel file I have a row having format 'Number' with two decimal places.
Example: 1225000.00
When I select this value using SSMS I get the correct value:
1225000
Strange enough, I cannot see the decimals anymore. However, when I now store this value into my table and then select it from there I get: (the datatype in the table is VARCHAR(max))
1.225e+006
I would not care if I could convert this back to a numeric datatype but this seems not to work: CAST('1.225e+006' as INT) throws an exception. Obviously OPENROWSET sends the data strictly as a character string. Storing this into varchar(max) works for small figures but it starts to use exp values for big figures.
Does anybody has an idea how to bring huge Excel based figures safely into a MS SQL Table ?
Thanks: Peter

Converting INT Datatype To BIGINT Datatype
Dec 15, 2005HI,I have a table with IDENTITY column with the datatype as INTEGER. Nowthis table record count is almost reaching its limt. that is totalrecord count is almost near to 2^31-1. It will reach the limit with inanother one or two months.In order to avoid the arithmentic overflow error 8115, we would likechange the datatype from INT to BIGINT. we hope this will solve ourproblem.How do I approch this datatype conversion?. Since the data count ishuge, that leads to a long down time of database.we need better approach or solution for this problem?. kindly give mea better solution that will reduce the total downtime of the productiondatabase.?.Regards

Question About Converting Column Datatypes In Order To Save Space
Nov 6, 2007All,
I've converted datatypes in the past to something more appropriate in order to save space, and speed up the database, to great success. I'm in the middle of another such change, this one table in particular I am converting from [text] columns to varchar(max)'s, and varchar(1)'s to char(1)'s. I've made a duplicate of the table in question (which has about 25 text columns, and 20 varchar(1) columns), ported over the data, and ran 'sp_spaceused' and got the following results:
-- new table
name | rows | reserved | data | index_size | unused
Response | 39920 | 15384 KB | 15168 KB | 208 KB | 8 KB
-- old table
name | rows | reserved | data | index_size | unused
Response | 39920 | 124128 KB | 123696 KB | 200 KB | 232 KB
I didn't expect results quite this dramatic. Now to my question: Did I miss something measuring the difference? Is there something else, another method I should employ to determine the size differentials?
If this is right, it's outstanding, just unexpected. I would have been happy losing 10 or 20 MB.
I appreciate any insight anyone might be able to provide.
Best,
B.

Casting Or Converting Smallint Datatype To Datetime

the three existing date-related columns. I have tried casting and
simple concatentation without success. ALTER TABLE Details ADD DocDate DateTime NULL
UPDATE Details SET DocDate = CAST(MonthGiven AS DateTime)+ '/' + CAST(DayGiven AS DateTime) + "/" Cast(YearGiven As DateTime)
I think I need to be doing a Conversion instead of casting but

Trouble Converting Datatype For Database Insert
Dec 7, 2004Hi,
I need to take a value from a textbox and insert it into a field in my database which takes decimals. My problem, no matter what I try I cannot convert the value so that the database will accept it. This all happens when the submit button is hit on my webpage. Here is the cmdSubmit_click sub code:
Dim surveyNum As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(txtSurveyNum.Text, Globalization.NumberStyles.Number)
myCmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO survey(ID) VALUES('" & surveyNum & "')"
myCmd.Parameters.Add("surveyNum", SqlDbType.Decimal)
myCmd.Parameters("surveyNum").Value = System.Convert.ToDecimal(txtSurveyNum.Text)
myConn.Open()
Try
myCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
lblMessage.Text = "Record successfully updated"
Catch
lblMessage.Text = "Query error: " & Err.Description
End Try
myConn.Close()
Thnx in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Conversion Failed When Converting The Nvarchar Value To Datatype Int
Apr 1, 2008Exception in one of the stored procs:
Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value to datatype int. After moving database from 2000 to 2005.
Using backup and restore.
Note I had the same issue after restoring the production database on my local server SQL2000->SQL2000.
The problem was solved by restoring master and msdb from the production. But I can't do this on the SQL2005.
This is not a collation issue as I have ensured collation is the same on all databases including the system ones.
The database in question makes extensive use of user defined data types (Which I have recreated on the destination server).
Can anyone please help?

Integration Services :: Converting Datatype In SSIS
Jun 19, 2015I'm editing an SSIS package. The source column has datatype float and the data is stored like 1,2 instead of 1.2. To change this into a period instead of comma there is a derived column step in the ssis package. The expression in this derived column step to change this goes as:<o:p></o:p> (DT_STR ,32,1 252)(REPLACE((DT_STR,32,1252)SUBSCHAAL_SCORE,",","."))<o:p></o:p>
where SUBSCHAAL_SCORE is the name of the column. As you see the data is converted into a string. I need it to be converted into a numeric datatype (18,6) instead of string/varchar but it must also handle the first issue with changing the comma into a period. <o:p></o:p>
