What DataType Is Best ... Float, Double Or Decimal?
Sep 25, 2006
I am using sql express 2005 and sql server 2005 with C# 2.0.
I am a bit confused about which data type i should be using for several fields.
Right now I am declaring all of my fields in sql server as float for everything except for money fields which are using money.
When loaded into C# these fields are converted to double and decimal because C# does not have a float datatype.
Should I be using Decimal or Double for everything instead?
Here are a few examples
QtyInvoiced (float) - holds the number of items invoice
possible values look like this 1.0, 1.25 or 1.5
PercentDiscount (float) - holds a percentage
possible values look like this
10.25, 20.50, 50.00
I appreciate the help.
Float Type Steals My Decimal Points And Money Type Kills My Query
Mar 28, 2008Happy 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?

Convert A Binary Float To FLOAT Datatype
Apr 9, 2007I can't take full credit for this. I want to share this with Jeff Moden who did the important research for this calculation here.
All I did was just adapting some old code according to the mantissa finding Jeff made and optimized it a little
Some test codeDECLARE@SomeNumber FLOAT,
@BinFloat BINARY(8)
SELECT@SomeNumber = -185.6125,
@BinFloat = CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))
SELECT@SomeNumber AS [Original],
CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8)) AS [Binary],
dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Converted],
@SomeNumber - dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Error]
And here is the code for the function.CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float
(
@BinaryFloat BINARY(8)
)
RETURNS FLOAT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE@Part TINYINT,
@PartValue TINYINT,
@Mask TINYINT,
@Mantissa FLOAT,
@Exponent SMALLINT,
@Bit TINYINT,
@Ln2 FLOAT,
@BigValue BIGINT
SELECT@Part = 1,
@Mantissa = 1,
@Bit = 1,
@Ln2 = LOG(2),
@BigValue = CAST(@BinaryFloat AS BIGINT),
@Exponent = (@BigValue & 0x7ff0000000000000) / EXP(52 * @Ln2)
WHILE @Part <= 8
BEGIN
SELECT@Part = @Part + 1,
@PartValue = CAST(SUBSTRING(@BinaryFloat, @Part, 1) AS TINYINT),
@Mask =CASE WHEN @Part = 2 THEN 8 ELSE 128 END
WHILE @Mask > 0
BEGIN
IF @PartValue & @Mask > 0
SET @Mantissa = @Mantissa + EXP(-@Bit * @Ln2)
SELECT@Bit = @Bit + 1,
@Mask = @Mask / 2
END
END
RETURNSIGN(@BigValue) * @Mantissa * POWER(CAST(2 AS FLOAT), @Exponent - 1023)
END
Thanks again Jeff!

Money And Float Conversion
Aug 22, 2005hi,
i'm get some strange behaviour with the money and float type. with a calculator divide 70 by 47 and multiply by 40 (70 / 47 * 40) and you get 59.5744 (rounded to nearest 4 decimal places). now try this in query analyser with the 70 as a money type and the result as a float:
declare @price money
declare @result float
select @price = 70
select @result = @price / 47 * 40
Print 'result = ' + str(@result,18,4)
now this will print out 59.5720
am i missing something ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedFloat Vs. Decimal
Jun 29, 1998We are having problems with rounding errors on large monetary calculations in sql server 6.5
The calculations include float fields (for volumes and unit of measure conversions in product movements). I was wondering if the float being "approximate" could be the problem.
IF it is, why would I want to store things as a float instead of a dec(28,14)?
Is it faster to compute numbers stored as approximate binaries? Will we see a big performance hit if we switch some of the table`s field`s to decimals?
Thanks in advance.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2008 :: Allow Null On Data Type Money?
Oct 15, 2015Should 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?
Help Withrounding Money To 2 Decimal Places?
Oct 26, 2004I have a table with a money field that had previously been running calculation and storing the data into the database's money field. Since this field supports 4 decimal places, it was storing 4 decimal places worth of data. I have since cleaned up my insert routine to round everything up to two decimal places and it only inserts the rounded values. I now have to go back and update the old data with the two decimal place rule. How would I go about doing this?

Data Types: DECIMAL Vs. MONEY
Aug 29, 2007What significant difference is there between the two data types when we are indeed dealing with monetary values (other than being able to set the precision and scale)?
Is there a performance gain from one over the other? Are there administrative-related concerns that should force someone to choose one over the other? Are there any concerns of the MONEY data type being sunsetted by Microsoft anytime in the near future?
Can someone please help me out here?
[EDIT]
I was referring to "fields" in the first sentence when it should've been "data types".

Decimal Places On Money Values
Sep 6, 2007Hi
I have an SQL search that is converting two values to type money. I want it to show two digits after the decimal point but am getting inconsistent results. The first value is as follows:
tblInventoryItem.itemcost as originalcost (the column is datatype money)
This displays correctly i.e. 2000.00 or 150.70 etc
The second value is this:
tblInventoryItem.itemcost + tblUpgrades.ItemCost as totalcostincupgr (both columns are datatype money)
But this displays as 2000 or 150.7
How can I get the second value to show two decimal places even when the digits are zeros?
Thanks!

Money Datatype
Jan 27, 2003Greetings,
How do you keep or round a money datatype to use only 2 decimal places? I have an instance where I am multiplying a money with a decimal datatype. The decimal has up to 8 decimal places. This is causing the money datattype to extend to 4 decimal places. This makes for problems when I am comparing 2 values.
ex.)
IF 14.88 >= 14.8821
99% of the time this does not happen, but is causing problems. Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance,
Roger
Datatype For US Money
Feb 12, 2008Do you usually use the money or smallmoney datatype for US dollars in a table, or do you use a decimal datatype, and if so which. Any opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of each?
If you use money or smallmoney, do you usually add a constraint to make sure the value is even to the penny (no $24.3487 type amounts)?

Any ideas?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCan Anyone Help With With Datatype Float
Aug 30, 2007I have some engineering data in my table and the db designer is representing it with a float datatype. Here's what is happening. If I query on a record based on id num and get a row and put it in text boxes in my Windows App, min_riv_hd_dia (the float) is 0.026<14 zeroes>2. If I try to query and get that same record again but this time based on id num and min_riv_hd_dia equal to 0.026<14 zeroes>2, I get no row found. If I just do a select on this row based on id number, sql server displays it as 0.026. But if I query with 0.026 as my value, still the row is not found. If I query min_riv_hd_dia > 0.026, the record is found.
So my question is, how can I tell the exact value that must be input in my search criteria in order to find this row?
Thank you so much if you can help!
