I have the following a computing column
(isnull(TotalProductSaleCost,0) * 7) / 100
I would like the output to be formatted to decimal (12, 2) not sure how to achieve this?
Hi.
1.
Have a query that fetches a real value (e.g. 4.3345643)
Let say the field is called TheReal.
How can I format the value in the select statement so I get a thousand separator(s) and two decimals in the resultset.
2. In the same query I have a left join as well.
Table 2 retur (sometimes) <NULL>.
Is it possible to force this <NULL> value to be a fixed string value instead in the select statement.
hi !
Just started playing around with SQL 2000 and I createda sample table called 'actor' which has 4 columns
1. actorID
(formula= LEFT(NEWID(), 3)+ LEFT([actorFirst], 2) +
LEFT([actorLast], 2) + RIGHT(NEWID(), 3))
2. actorFirst
varchar(20) NOT NULL
3. actorLast
varchar(20) NOT NULL
4. actorName
(formula = [actorFirst] + ' ' + [actorLast]
Now my problem is that I want to set a primary key constraint on actorID but it doesn't let me because it the NULL check mark is automatically checked and I cannot check it off ... and I can't set a primary key on something which is allowed to be NULL....
I don't understand why 'actorName' column which is also calculated doesn't have that default NULL checked and locked ....
What am I doing wrong ? Please help ....

So I have to build dynamic T-SQL because of a date parameter that will be provided. The Date Parameter will be provided in SSRS in normal MM/DD/CCYY format. So how do I then convert that date to my Oracle format
NUMERIC(8,0) CCYYMMDD?
I tried this...
SET@SQLQuery=@SQLQuery+'ANDMEMBER_SPAN.YMDEFF<='''''+CAST(@AsOfDateASVARCHAR)+''''''+@NewLineChar;
SET@SQLQuery=@SQLQuery+'ANDMEMBER_SPAN.YMDEFF>='''''+CAST(@AsOfDateASVARCHAR)+''''''+@NewLineChar;
but that put it in the format of...
AND
MEMBER_SPAN.YMDEFF<=''2015-04-01''
AND
MEMBER_SPAN.YMDEFF>=''2015-04-01''
Which is close...I think I just need to lose the "-"

Hi,
I have a derived column transformation which adds a new column of type Decimal with scale 2.
The expression is (6800 / 464)
Runs fine but it returns
14.65
While if I run any of the following queries in query analyzer SELECT 6800 /
464OR
SELECT CONVERT(DECIMAL(10,2), 6800 / 464)
They give me 14.66.
My question is, why both the tool of same product differs in the way they work ? and How could I have SSIS to work like TSQL ? I tried typecasting in derived column expression and ROUND function too. But still, the output is same.
Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated.
Thanks

I am trying to convert hours and minutes to decimal and arrive at a sum of time taken. The column TotalTimeSpent is the diff in hours/mins between the Started and Ended times.
SELECT DATENAME(weekday, Started) AS Day,      C.Category,    ClientCode,Description,   dbo.FormatDateTime(Started, 'HH:MMS 12') as Started,   dbo.FormatDateTime(Ended, 'HH:MMS 12') as Ended, CONVERT(varchar,TimeTaken,108) AS TotalTimeSpentFROM dbo.Journal JLEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Categories C ON J.CategoryID = C.CategoryIDWHERE--DATENAME(weekday, Started) =@Weekday  AND Started >= @StartDate ORDER BY Day, Category, Started
So my data is delivered as numeric(9,2)...like 100.00. I have to extract that data and store it as a varchar 0 filled without the decimal place...like 0000010000///I tried the following and it did not work...
RIGHT('000000000'+CONVERT(VARCHAR,[EODPosting].[Amount]),10),
This seems to get the job done...
SELECTRIGHT('00000000'+CONVERT(VARCHAR,REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),101),'/','')),8)
However, when I try to create it and CONVERT it to a DECIMAL, it then loses the "0"
SELECTCONVERT(DECIMAL(8,0),RIGHT('00000000'+CONVERT(VARCHAR,REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),101),'/','')),8))
Is it impossible to convert it to a decimal and retain the leading "0" on the month?
My vendor's spec states..."Business Date Numeric For 8 positions MMDDYYYY"
I want to change decimal precision dynamically without rounding value
For example

---CASE 1 without dynamic parameter---------
DECLARE @DECIMALVALUE AS tinyint
SELECT CONVERT(DECIMAL(10,2),500000.565356) As Amount
[Code] ....
I am getting error as follows......
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3

Hi Guys,
I want to find out if a ceratin column has values with decimal figures populated? for example say column A has values
10.00
20.00
30.00
50.01
in this case the query should let me know that there is one figure (50.01) with a actual decimal value. So the results of the query should be 1 (since one record has decimal figures <>.00)
Cananyone help

This problem is strictly an SQL problem, and I am about to lose my mind over it. I have a table named Inventory that has a column named PartialQty which is of type DECIMAL(11,4). I have shortened my query for simplicity, but here it is.
DECLARE @pqty1 DECIMAL(11,4)
SELECT @pqty1 = PartialQty FROM Inventory WHERE InventoryID = @invIDPRINT @pqty1 UPDATE Inventory SET PartialQty = 6.5513 WHERE InventoryID = @invID
SELECT @pqty1 = PartialQty FROM Inventory WHERE InventoryID = @invIDPRINT @pqty1
Before this query is ran, the value in PartialQty is 1.2345. If I run this 2 times in a row, this is the output I get:
RUN 1:
1.2345
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
6.0000
RUN 2:
6.0000
(1 row(s) affected)
6.5513
I don't understand 2 things. One is why the first run displays (1 row(s) affected) 4 times even though there is only one record with that InventoryID.
And the other thing I don't understand is why the first time I run it, it loses all of the values after the decimal point.
Please help,
Scott
How do I limit the decimal points in a computed column. SSE 2005 seems to override the precision and scale I set in either GUI or by creating the table by query.
Thanks in advance for helping.

Hi,
Is there a way to truncate a number to a certain number of decimal places in the SSIS Derived Column component (similar to TRUNC in excel)?
Thanks!
On table TABLENAME, I have increased the size of column C to decimal(38, 14); maximum size and an excessive amount of precision.
If I do a
SELECT MAX(CONVERT(DECIMAL(7,2), A) / B) FROM TABLENAME
SELECT MIN(CONVERT(DECIMAL(7,2), A) / B) FROM TABLENAME
I get 3.0000000000000 for the MAX and 0.1000000000000 for the MIN value, yet if I update
UPDATE TABLENAME SET C = CONVERT(DECIMAL(7,2), A) / B WHERE B <> 0
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 8, Line 1

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe are importing Flat file data from our Mainframe system. We have a lot of money amounts coming in, but the mainframe does not store the decimals in the flat file. So for example a row in the file might look like this:
+0000007894-0000000563
Where the first value is $78.94 and the second value is -$5.63
Is there anyway to have the Flat file connection manager put in the decimal place for me, or do i have to create derived columns for each column and divide it by 100? There like 50-100 columns per file, so i'm looking for a better, quicker way.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm having a DB designed for me, and I'm inspecting it and wondering what in general is the better way to do this.
We have a product, which we are counting "product views". The DB designer has created columns called "view_today" and "views_alltime".
I specified I wanted a normalized database, I'm thinking this is technically not normalized ? Am I correct ?
Wouldn't it be better to have a query that counted the views off the logging table ? I can't see any advantage to doing it the way its been designed except to save time.
Thanks for any input !

View 4 Replies View Relatedhi everybody,
i'm trying to calculate the 'SUM' of time spent in hrs. n min. How can i do this using SQL Server?
What i mean is, i've a column 'TIME_SPENT' that has 'datetime' datatype. This column saves time spent for an activity in format 'hh:mm'. Suppose a user spends 45min for activity 'A' and say 1hr 25 min for activity 'B' then i want to calculate the 'SUM' of 'TIME_SPENT' for the user which should appear as 'Total time spent =2:10'
Can somebody pls help me with this?
Thnx in advance.
I am attempting to compute Service Levels for an interaction based upon business hours. For example, an email arrives at 4pm and is handled the following day at 10am. Call Center Hours are 8-5.
Essentially I have a number of different alternatives, and have found some potential solutions, including:
www.dbforums.com/arch/7/2003/9/914261
However, my situation has a couple of additional twists to the standard 8hrs of business M-F. The call center is open different hours depending upon the day of the week. For example, 8-5 M, 10-7 T, 8-5 W Th F, 10-2 Sat, 10-12 Sun
Additionally, I would like to remove Holiday's from the calculation for service level as well.
I have explored a number of different table DTD's, but none seem to be a perfect fit for determining the number of "open" hours between when an interaction arrived, and when it was handled.
The DTD I have for the Holiday table is as follows:
CREATE Table Holidays (HolidayDate DateTime)
GO
Insert Into Holidays (HolidayDate) Values ('12-25-2004')
Please let me know what you feel would be the DTD for storing the business hours and also the query for extracting the number of Open hours between two dates
Thank you in advance
I encountered a tricky problem. The original data, say, table_o, is shown below:
IdsStatusDate
ID1402-May-13
ID1310-May-13
ID1216-May-13
ID1120-May-13
ID2308-May-13
ID2210-May-13
ID2119-May-13
The final resulting table, e.g., table_f, is:
Ids4->3 3->2 2->1
ID18 6 4
ID2NULL 2 9
The values in the final table are the days used by each ID transferring from status i to status i-1. E.g., ID uses 8 days (10-May-13 - 2-May-13) to go to status 3 from status 4.
It is hard for me to come up with a table like the final table, although I know that the difference between two adjacent rows can be computed by using self-join and timediff().

I'm trying to create a new column/variable from 3 other variables where the new column = column 1 unless column 1 is blank, then = column 2, unless column 2 is blank, then = column 3.

Hi,
I want to create a view where I can calculate the sum of a couple of bit value columns,
aswell as keeping track of the total number of bits set to true.
Here is an example:
dbo.Band
BandID int
Name nvarchar(50)
Country nvarchar(50)
dbo.Record
ID int
Name nvarchar(50)
BandID int
Label nvarchar(50)
InProduction bit
InSkodne bit
From these tables I created this view:
dbo.TestView
SELECT dbo.Band.Name, dbo.Band.Country, dbo.Record.Name AS Recordname, dbo.Record.Label, CONVERT(int, dbo.Record.InProduction) AS InProduction,
CONVERT(int, dbo.Record.InSkodne) AS InSkodne, CONVERT(int, dbo.Record.InProduction) + CONVERT(int, dbo.Record.InSkodne) AS Total
FROM dbo.Band INNER JOIN
dbo.Record ON dbo.Band.BandID = dbo.Record.BandID
I use the convert function to be able to use SUM() across my bit columns, which works fine. Problems is I´m not sure that the way I´m creating the TOTAL column is the best way to go. Any other ideas?
I´m having some problems using this view and the TOTAL column in particular when referencing this view from applications outside SQL Server...
