For whatever reason i'm unable to cast anything more thtan e-4 to a float which makes no sence. Am i missing something?
select cast( '1.550e-6' as float)
?????????
returns 1.55E-06
????????
select cast( '1.550e-5' as float)
?????????
returns 1.55E-05
????????
select cast( '1.550e-4' as float)
returns 0.000155
select cast( '1.550e10' as float)
returns 15500000000
Am 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
Hi,
Can I convert from float to varchar without trunc the values? Can I use any mask like '#.##'?
from -> cast ( 123.44 as varchar(256) )
result = '123.44'
thanks,
I want to save 999999999 as real data in sql.but it saved 1+E09.

How do I use the CAST or CONVERT function in the code below, I require a third column (named Diff) which Minus the StartTime from the EndTime and the result is outputted in the third column (named Diff).
Calculation: @Diff = (@EndTime - @StartTime)
I still want the variables (@StartTime and @EndTime) to remain as nvarchar.
The code:
DECLARE @StartTime nvarchar(10) = '12:10';
DECLARE @EndTime nvarchar(10) = '12:30';
DECLARE @Diff time(1) = '00:00';
SELECT @StartTime AS '@StartTime', @EndTime AS '@EndTimes', @Diff AS '@Diff';
So I have two tables with similar columns etc, unfortunately the Insert to the History table fails. Noto sure how to format.
Source Table.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SKUCURRENT](
[UID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[SKU] [nvarchar](100) NOT NULL,
[WHSELOC] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
[WEIGHT] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
What actually happens when I convert date to float? Select convert(float,getdate(),112)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am importing a text file with a column (serial numbers) with alphanumeric data, some mixed and some only numeric. The very large values that are all numeric are being converted to exponential when I run it thru an import package in SQL Server Integration Services (2005)
Ex. 4110041233214321 --> 4110040000000000 (displays as 4.11E+15)
In the past I dealt with this by importing the text file into Excel and changing the format of the column to number. This works even when many of the values contain alpha characters. I am not sure how to accomplish this same thing without going thru Excel. If you have any ideas on this I would be happy to hear from you.

I am using data flow. source is ole db and target is flat file (csv). I run sql server stored procedure in source and mapped all columns to target file.
Value "-5.0000000000000003E-2" is giving me hard time. It's coming in target file how can remove exponential before writing to target file. In source table that value is coming from float type column. I would like to use some function in select sql if I can.
Thank you - Ashok
Exponential Moving avg is calculated using the formula.EMA = (Today's Price)* K + (EMA yesterday) * (1-K)where K = 2 / (N+1)The user is going to Input the K.It is something likeF(N) = Price * K + F(N-1) * (1-K)How can I reference, the previously calculated value in the Next rowcalculation.

I need to take a temporary table that has various times stored in a text field (4:30 pm, 11:00 am, 5:30 pm, etc.), convert it to miltary time then cast it as an integer with an update statement kind of like:
Update myTable set MovieTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(5),GETDATE(),108), ':', '')
how this can be done while my temp table is in session?
I am using SSIS to populate a star schema.
The issue is in the data flow for loading and setting the Fact table dimension keys (the dimensions are all loaded fine). After 16 rather pedestrian Lookup Transformations, I have an escalating problem adding additional Lookup transforms to the Data Flow. The problem is not in execution; the problem is adding more transforms in design mode.
Lookup # Fields in Data Flow Time to validate that lookup
<17 47 Sub-second
17 48 2 sec
18 49 4 sec
19 50 8 sec
20 51 16 sec
21 52 32 sec
22 53 64 sec
While I€™m intrigued by the mathematical progression that is forming here, the issue is that I have at least 6 more Lookups to perform. I hope you can see my dilemma.
I have gone to where it takes a little over 4 minutes each to validate the lookup transform and its associated Derived Column transform and Union transform (Total 12 Minutes). Not only does this add up to many idle minutes to each design step, BUT it breaks the debugger as it pre-validates the ENTIRE data flow before it ever switches into debugging mode.
Some notes:
1. It doesn€™t matter what order the Lookup transforms occur in, the timings are exactly the same.
2. I tried many Data Flow execution optimizations, but they don€™t improve the validation times (or even get a chance to improve the execution times!)
I realize this may be somewhat of a unique problem.
Thanks for any help you are able to lend.

1. In c++ (or any other language) I'm copying bit by bit to a doublevariable dob_var.2. If I copy dob_var to dob_var2 which is also a double I do not loseinformation.3. This implies that the same would be when copying to a data base, butwhen I write dob_var to an sql server float field (same size as adouble variable = 64 bit) it sometimes loses information. e.g. whenvalue=1E-320.It is true that SQL float is valid until 1E-308 but so is a C++ double.Any comments?

Greetings:
Is there a way of rounding up floating point numbers without CASTing as shown in a number of the replies ? For example, a table value is 103.365 and I'd like to see values of 103.365 and above (103.366,103.367, 103.368, 103.369) rounded to 103.37. Is is possible to do this with a function or setting in SQL Server 2005 or is it necessary to write T-SQL to do the rounding ?
Thanks.

In My table formula(varchar) and value(Float) column.
Example
formula --> (A+B)/C
I am trying to create same expression with value But my below example showing value gets rounded if it is big.
I am trying to do,

SELECT CONVERT( varchar , @a) Result=>123456
any way to keep same value as It is?

I have a problem with the round of SQL Server 2K on the float data type.
In my application I do a SQL request for find a row in a table of SQL Server 2K.
This is the request :
SELECT DISTINCT N_ROW_ID FROM COMM WHERE N_ARTICLE_ID=79510 AND N_DATASOURCE_ID=1 AND N_SOURCE_ID=-102 AND N_PROVIDER_ID=-100
AND N_LEAD_TIME IS NULL AND N_UNIT_PRICE = 329.78 AND N_UNIT_PRICE_CURRENCY_ID=1
N_UNIT_PRICE is a float data type.
In the line need, the field N_UNIT_PRICE has 329.78 but with the round of SQL Server 2K I have 329.779999999999997.
So I never find the row
Do you have a solution for comparate a float flied with SQL Server round and a float send in a request as my 329.78?
I can't transform the column in decimal or numeric data type.
Is it possible to Disable the function?

Hi all,
I am developing an application for a big office which uses SQL Server 2000.
Apart from my database, on that server, there are two databases by other companies.
The administrator also has access to server but the client only wants him to backup the database.
I have two questions:
1) First of all (if it is possible) I would like to protect my own database from the other companies.
I don't want them to:
see the data in the tables (around 20 tables)
make changes to the stored procedures (more than 100 stored procedures)
be able to backup the database
2) The client will save sensitive data to the database (mainly currency amounts, salaries etc) which he wants to keep hidden.
I am using float type for these fields and I would like to make the data encrypted. I could do it for nvarchar fields but changing these float to nvarchar would be time consuming.
Thanks for your patience reading this!
Would really appreciate some help on any of these

Could anyone help of how to cast the value in C# resulted from max() command. To complicate the matter, from the query result I see in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, if there are records the value is number. But if there are no records, the value is NULL. How do I handle these two possible different conditions?
I have tried:
- string test = (string)reader["MaxOrderID"];
- int test = Convert.ToInt32((string)reader["MaxOrderID"]);
- string test = Convert.ToInt32(reader["MaxOrderID"]).ToString();
all failed. And what do I do if the value is NULL. And also how do I do to cope with these two different possible conditions?
For example, I have the following code:command.CommandText = "Select max(OrderID) as 'MaxOrderID' from [Order]";command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
command.Connection = conn;
command.Connection.Open();
reader = command.ExecuteReader();
reader.Read();
??? orderID = ???reader["MaxOrderID"];

Trying to understand the results. Here are some random numbers and Castings. My question is why do they produce the datetimes they do?

SELECT CAST((200) AS DATETIME)
SELECT CAST((15) AS DATETIME)
SELECT CAST((99.99999) AS DATETIME)

Hello,
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

Hello everyone,
I am sure this is a newbie question as I am new to Microsoft SQL server but any help is greatly appreciated. I am populating a SQL database from an AS400. The decimal numbers from the AS400 are coming accross with extra decimals. (ie. 63.02 is coming accross as 63.0200001)
Is there a way to limit the number of decimals in a float or real field - or a SQL command I can put in a script to truncate each field to 2 decimal places after they are populated.
Thanks,
Randy
