When I update it to store 7.50, it changes it to 7.5
Is there any way to force it to store 2 decimal points?

Rounding Decimal Points In An Expression
Nov 1, 2006This sounds so simple but yet don't know why it doesn't work.
i've got two decimal numbers in columns
closingUnits = 25093.53640
closingAmt = 59110.33
i use a derived column transformation to generate a string column which is the division of those two above.
mystrfield = closingAmt /closingUnits = 2.355599
what i want is cast it to just 4 decimal points when i run the expression below it cast it to 4 decimal points but it doesn't do any rounding.
the value i get is 2.3555 when i should get 2.3556
(ISNULL(closingAmt ) || closingUnits == 0) ? "0.0000" : ((closingAmt / closingUnits) < 1 && (closingAmt / closingUnits) > -1 ? "0" : "") + (DT_WSTR,15)(DT_DECIMAL,4)(closingAmt / closingUnits)
SQL Server 2008 :: Limiting To 2 Decimal Points
Aug 31, 2015The total quantity(sum(woitem.qtytarget) as total) result set is showing more than 6 numbers after the decimal point (example:442.2565485). How can I limit it to 2. (example:442.25)
select wo.num, sysuser.username,sum(woitem.qtytarget) as total
from woitem
join wo
ON wo.id = woitem.woid
Join moitem
on moitem.id = woitem.moitemid
Join mo
ON mo.id = moitem.moid
LEFT JOIN SYSUSER ON mo.userid = sysuser.id

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?
Problems Storing A Decimal Again.......

However when the sp updates the table it is stored as 78.
In the sp the parameter is type numeric.

Storing Decimal Values
Aug 7, 2007Hi,
I'm loading millions of rows into a database table. This data contains a lot of dedcimal values of 4 or 6 decimal places somtimes more.
I've found that storing them as floats is inaccurate, and I'm storing as decimals of the appropriate length.
I'm concerned whether this is the right way to do this ?
Can anyone make any suggestions, perhaps an article that I should take a look at ?

Update Cur_points With Cur_points+points, Then Wipe Points (was Help Needed Please)
Jun 22, 2007Greetings everyone, I'm posting this thread with the hope that someone will notice it and might offer me a helping hand regarding one of my problems.I have the database named "DBEXAMPLE" with the table MEMB_INFO that contains two important columns that are named cur_points and points where cur_points column contains the total available points that a member can use/spend on a game and the points column stores the total of the points that a member used so far.So as i plan to wipe all data of the database, i need to keep the member login,password and total points that each member purchased.So i will somehow need to update the cur_points column with the total of current cur_points+points columns and then wipe points column.I've personally asked a friend regarding this and he said that this should be something complicated and it might require php also.Really appreciate if someone could help me regarding this.small schema:Database: DBEXAMPLETable: MEMB_INFOColumn cur_points -> total available points that a member can spendColumn points -> total points that the member has already spentColumn memb___id -> member login aka account idTODO -> update cur_points column with the total of cur_points+points columns for each member(buyer)With best regards.

Dec 29, 2006Hello there,I just want to ask if storing data in dbase is much better than storing it in the file system? Because for one, i am currenlty developing my thesis which uploads a blob.doc file to a web server (currently i'm using the localhost of ASP.NET) then retrieves it from the local hostAlso i want to know if im right at this, the localhost of ASP.NET is the same as the one of a natural web server on the net? Because i'm just thinking of uploading and downloading the files from a web server. Although our thesis defense didn't require us to really upload it on the net, we were advised to use a localhost on our PC's. I'll be just using my local server Is it ok to just use a web server for storing files than a database?

Data Type With Decimal Point For Decimal Values But Not For Whole Integers
Dec 8, 2013I am creating a table on SQL Server. One of the columns in this new table contains whole integer as wells as decimal values (i.e. 4500 0.9876).

How Can I Use The Decimal Comma Instead Of Decimal Point For Numbers In Jet Engine?
Sep 19, 2007
I wanted to convert a dataset from vb.net (2.0) to an .XLS file, by MS Jet. My national standard is using decimal commas, not decimal points for numbers signing the beginning of decimal places.
But the MS Jet Engine uses decimal point,in default. Therefore, in the Excel file only string formatted cells can welcome this data, not number formatted.
How can I solve or get around this problem? (with jet if it possible)

Decimal Limited To 4 Digits To Right Of Decimal?
Jun 18, 2007
I need to store decimal values: decimal(20,15) in my SQL Server 2005 database.
I load data from flat file, convert it using Data Conversion Task to decimal(with scale: 15) and try to save it using OLE DB Destination.
It works fine for 4 digits after the decimal (like 1.1234), but always failes for more than 4 digits (1.12345).
Is the decimal limited to scale 4 ???
Thank you for your help!

current setup active active cluster running. I need to add san space which
will hold the databases. The san will be carved up into drive letters. each
drive letter will hold 3 mount points.
ie.
node 1
J:-2 mount point
k:2 mount point
l:2 mount point
node 2-
r:-2 mount point
s:2 mount point
t:2 mount point

Scalability With Mount Points
Feb 28, 2008I understand mount points help scalability in easier maintenance.
By scalability do we mean more than 26 drive letters or it means adding more space to the same mount point letter on with more ease .
Can I add more space to a mountpoint if required later on by adding hard disks .
Also if one can give some pointers to good file group configuration guidelines / storage align partitions , it will be very much helpful
Further I my server CPU has 4 cores , will having 4 filegroups help me in improving system performance.
If SAN has 2 controllers , is it preferred to run data file partition on one controller and log file partition on another.
Thanks in advance.

How Do I Clear Out Available Restore Points For MSSQL Db's?

In doing so, I've made a list of backups that don't truly exist anymore (I deleted the 'backup device' (bleh.bak).
Here's an image, stolen from technet's articles.
http://www.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/technet/images/prodtechnol/sql/2000/maintain/ppc1106_big.gif
See that list of restore points? Mine is full of restore points that have absolutely no meaning in them for a DB I made to test out (testDB).
Is there a way to clean those out?

View 8 Replies View RelatedHelp Requested : Finding The 6 Closest Points
Sep 4, 2007Hi all,
I am seeking your expertise to create SQL codes (SQL server 2005) that can help me to answer the problem below.
I have two tables (points and station), presented in form of SQL codes below. I€™d like to find the 6 closest panels for each of the station. As can be seen in the result table below, the 6 closest panel names are arranged from the first closest (P1) to the sixth closest (P6). Similar procedure also applies for the distance column arrangement. This distance column (D1 €“ D6) is the distance of panels P1 €“ P6 to the station. The distance between two points (with x-y coordinates) can be calculated using a simple Cartesian formula:
Distance = ( (X1 €“ X2)2 + (Y1 - Y2)2 ) 0.5 . As the sample, distance between station €˜A€™ and panel €˜P19-04W€™ is = ((737606.383 - 737599.964)2 + (9548850.844 - 9548856.856)2) 0.5 = 8.79.
