SQL7 Places New Record Wherever It Wants

Nov 23, 2001

I use Visual Basic 6.0, I have notice that sometimes when I add a
new record into a table using ADO Recordset, SQL Server places the
new record wherever it wants, and I suppose that any new record added
to a table is placed at the end.

This situation cause me a lot of problems on the normal perfomance
of my aplication.

I tried to include the ORDER BY sentence on the SELECT of my Recordset,
but a ADO Recordset with ORDER BY is not dynamic.

Thank you.

Copy SQL7 To SQL7

Dec 5, 1998

How can I copy a SQL 7 database from one server to another? Please tell me all the ways because I've tried the obvious and it doesn't work. (backup and restore - won't go from one server to another, DTS transfer object Wizard - does a whole pile of errors and doesn't do stored proceedures and trigures). Thanks for help in advance. Also, what is the email address to post to the listserv and where is the FAQ for SQL7? Most of my listserv's tell you where to post right at the bottom of the digest I get - any chance you guys would do that with this list? Thanks again.

Trying To Get Rid Of Decinmal Places :(

Jun 28, 2004

Hi,

The underlying table for my fact contains a Sale field whose data type is decimal.

In the cube editor, I have tried a few options (both for Data Type and Display format) but in my front end I am still getting the results with 2 decimal places.

Can someone kindly help me how I can get the results in a rounded form so that the decimal places are not shown e.g. instead of seeing 12,345,678.98 I want the results rounded as 12,345,679.

If (and i really hope not) it boils down to using MDX in the front end then can u kindly guide me since I can only spell MDX at the moment :(

Many thanks in advance for your help.

The Query Just Stops - At Different Places

Mar 31, 2004

I have created a stored procedure in SQL Server. I found it very slow, so i putted "select getDate(), 'testposition 1'" at different places, so I could see what part of the code that takes time.

The problem is: Depending on where I put the select statements, the execution of the stored procedure seems to just stop. And depending on where i put the select statements, it stops at different places.

This is how I do (example):
1. I re-create the stored procedure with some "select getDate()"-statements
2. I run the stored procedure 15:00:00
3. I cancel the stored procedure after 20 seconds and look at the resultsets. All getDate-functions show a time between 15:00:00 and 15:00:02
4. I run the stored procedure 15:01:00
5. I cancel the stored procedure after 5 seconds and look at the resultsets. The same amount of resultsets are showed, so I can make the conclusion that the execution stopped at the same place as last time. All getDate-functions show a time between 15:01:00 and 15:01:02 this time too.
6. I re-create the stored procedure with some new "select getDate()"-statements
7. Now the execution stops at an other position. Somtimes even between two "select getDate()"-statements!

I pasted the whole stored procedure here:

Decimal Places Displayed

Mar 21, 2007

Hi,

I'm running the following query against a SQL Server 2003 database to receive the results below:

SELECT PayPeriod AS [Pay Period], SUM(PayHours) AS [Pay Hours]
FROM EmployeePayHours
GROUP BY PayPeriod

Pay Period Pay Hours713 80

714 120

717 59.5

718 80

719 80


A colleague of mine, however, is running the same query against the same database (using a different machine) and gets the following results.

Pay Period Pay Hours

713 80

714 120

717 59.500000000000021

718 79.999999999999972

719 79.999999999999972

Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be changed? Thanks.

Trying To Calculate To 2 Decimal Places

Nov 28, 2015

I am trying work out if certain columns in a database table have the "correct" data in them and work out the "percentage completeness" of the data...

So, I have been allocating a 1 if the data is complete and a 0 if it's not. Then adding up the results and dividing them by the number of results and multiplying them by 100 to get a percentage.

BUT - the answer always comes back as a whole number and I cannot work our why!

This is my sql:

SELECT Clients.ClientNumber_Legacy,
CASE WHEN Client_Details_Enhanced.ClientType_Code = 'NK' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END,
CASE WHEN Client_Details_Enhanced.Title_Code = 'NK' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END,
(CASE WHEN Client_Details_Enhanced.ClientType_Code = 'NK' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) + (CASE WHEN Client_Details_Enhanced.Title_Code = 'NK' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) as total,

[Code] ....

Decimal Places In Node_Description??

Feb 26, 2007

There's been several good posts on using the node description of a model as the end user description for a specific cluster. My model uses a number of continuous input columns defined as currency from a fact table in the source cube. After processing, the node description has elements that look like this:







-0.5799759795 <=Interest Expense <=0.8397462488 ,

Since the source data is currency, this makes the node description look a little strange. The data type in the model is set as double. The precision implied by the description is not what I want the model to consider. In the case above, the difference between the numbers listed is not significant.

It would be great to have a better node desciption that doesn't imply so much precision, but the bigger question is why does the cluster model turn currency types into doubles. Should I set the data type to long in the model so that cents are ignored? I know I should probably use discrete inputs, but I don't want to have to discretize the currency values in the cube since this would require me to set up fact dimensions for each currency column in the fact table.

It works great,except the results are several decimal places long, and I need it to be only 2.

Any help appreciated.

Help Withrounding Money To 2 Decimal Places?

I 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?

Decimal Places On Money Values

Sep 6, 2007

Hi

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!

Missing Decimal Places After Cast()-ing

Mar 13, 2008

Hello, The issue is to convert a number like 114270 to 114 + (270/320) = 114.84375. The decimal version is the desired result. In other words the last 3 digits of 114270 are in base 320.

Question: I cast my number as char() then use substring() to get the digits. Then I cast back to float and divide by 320. I get 0 when I do this and I'm not sure why.

Code follows:
declare @p float
set @p = (select top 1 P from [tablename] where Product = 'Z')

declare @pchar as char(6)
set @pchar = cast(@price as char(6))
declare @first3 as char(3)
declare @second3 as char(3)
set @first3 = cast(substring(@pchar, 1,3) as float(25))
set @second3 = cast(substring(@pchar, 4,6) as float(25))
select @pchar -- 114270
select @first3 -- 114
select @second3/320 -- 0

I have tried changing cast(substring(@pchar, 4,6) as float(25)) to
cast(substring(@pchar, 4,6) as decimal)
and I get the same result. Any suggestions or is there a better way altogether?

Format Field With Decimal Places

Apr 11, 2007

Hi all,



I need to format a field to a set number of decimal places which is held as a field within the DB, and also format it as a standard number.



I have been able to set the format of the field to the decimal places field and it all works (the quantity in the row has the right number of decimal places), but i cant now format it as a number...



Heres an example:



The quantity is 1500 with 3 decimal places so it becomes 1500.000



I need to format it as a number with comma's etc such as 1,500.000



How would i go about doing this? Ive already used the format option for the decimal places and dont know how to add another format type (which in this case will be N)



Cheers



Rob.

Reduce Scale Of Floats To 4 Decimal Places From 16

Oct 17, 2001

I am working with an off the shelf app that controls decimal places through the application. All columns underlying the apps 'numeric' fields are floats. We are writing some scripts that need to compare numbers and some of them look like the second row

KELLYJ 2.1233
DONOVM 1.6000000000000001
OLSSON 15.3750

I have tried using round and cast. My examples work like the following:

SELECT 27.719999999

SELECT CAST(ROUND(27.719999999,4) AS DECIMAL(50,4))

When I try the same against a column to update the entire table it leaves the rows like above as longer to the right of the decimal point.

Any pointers on how to get these numbers back to 4 decimals places would be much appreciated
