Hi, I'm working on a DB and I'm trying to write some select statements that will display an employee's pay using the CAST and CONVERT functions. However, I can never seem to get commas inserted into the results please help. Here's the SELECT statements, where am I going wrong?
SELECT
'$' + CAST(CONVERT(MONEY, SUM(PROJECT_BUDGET/1.00), 1) AS VARCHAR) AS 'Total Budget'
FROM
PROJECT;

there is something strange in the code below:
declare @a money
set @a=1.2365
print cast(@a as varchar(10))
when i run the code in the query analizer , the output will be rounded and always will be displayed with two decimal digits(=1.24)...why?
how can i move the whole number value as an string value to an string variable without this truncation?
Thanks.
kind Regards.
I am trying to do some amount calculations.
The amount was declared as nvarchar data type.
I did the following coding. I want to get 2 places right of decimal
but am getting only one place right of decimal.
SELECT
(CAST(EQ_TotQuoteAmnt AS Float(7,2)) -
CAST(EQ_InsFee AS Float(7,2)) - 150) as Inforce_Premium
FROM Quoted
Can someone please help me with the syntax?
Thanks in advance.

Our database gets updated each week with text files spat out by a mainframe. Previously, the database was in Access; we copied and pasted the text files into Excel, ran macros on them to convert the data, then pasted the results directly into Access and this worked fine for us.
Now that we've moved the tables to SQL Server 2000, we're having problems with the data. We wanted to set up DTS packages for each file to just put them directly into SQL Server. This works for pretty much everything except for the dates.
The way the files are set up, they're comma delimited files with quotes around the text and nothing around the dates. The dates don't have any delimiters; they're just listed like 13012006. Every time we try to import these files into SQL, it gripes about the datatypes; we're trying to put the dates into datetime fields but SQL thinks they're strings. Eek! If we put date delimiters (like 13/01/2006) SQL pulls them in fine, but apparently the mainframe lacks the ability to put these delimiters in by itself and still run everything else OK. The person who writes the extracts has to do it in a language called 'Focus' which I've never heard of and don't know anything about, and he says what I'm asking for can't be done. OK...so now what?
I've tried and tried to convert these strings into dates using both CAST() and CONVERT() and just can't manage to do it. I know I'm missing something really obvious here; does anyone have any tips or advice? Thanks in advance.
I have a data field that's datatype int and I need to convert it to smalldatetime, however, I get one row erroring out due to a typo in the data that has a date of 21190101. What's wrong with my case statement to set that one typo to 20790101?
'SD' = Case When pro_date > 20790000 Then
pro_date = '20790101'
Else CAST(CAST(pro_date AS VARCHAR) AS SMALLDATETIME) End,
Hi,
I need to take a value from a textbox and insert it into a field in my database which takes decimals. My problem, no matter what I try I cannot convert the value so that the database will accept it. This all happens when the submit button is hit on my webpage. Here is the cmdSubmit_click sub code:
Dim surveyNum As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(txtSurveyNum.Text, Globalization.NumberStyles.Number)
myCmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO survey(ID) VALUES('" & surveyNum & "')"
myCmd.Parameters.Add("surveyNum", SqlDbType.Decimal)
myCmd.Parameters("surveyNum").Value = System.Convert.ToDecimal(txtSurveyNum.Text)
myConn.Open()
Try
myCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
lblMessage.Text = "Record successfully updated"
Catch
lblMessage.Text = "Query error: " & Err.Description
End Try
myConn.Close()
Thnx in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Trying to convert the following SELECT statement into a INSERT statement and having trouble. No doubt this will be a piece of cake to someone. To eventually get this to a trigger stage would be nice, but for the moment I'd settle for just plain SQL. Using MS SQL 2000. The database name is reporting. The table name is CallLog. I'm trying to convert seperate date (RecvdDate) and time (RecvdTime) columns into a single DateTime column. I've scoured a lot of web pages but I'm still lost.
==============
use reporting
go
SELECT RecvdDate + RecvdTime FROM [dbo].[CallLog]
===============
Any help much appreciated.
I have a column which is current stored as nvarchar(10), and all of the enteries are either NULL or mm/dd/yyyy.
I am trying to convert the column to smalldatetime using CONVERT or CAST and each time I get an arithmetic overflow error message.
I also tried selecting just the enteries with ISDATE()=1 and converting those to smalldatetime, and still got an arithmetic overflow message.
(I've run ISDATE() several times on the column, and the only rows without ISDATE()=1 are those which have NULL values).
help!
I have an Execute SQL Task that queries for the contents of a file (which is declared as a varbinary type). My SSIS package needs to write these contents into a temporary location, so what I do is that I pass the result into a System.Object variable. I then use that variable in a Script Task.
Problem is whenever I execute my script task and DirectCast or CType the variable to a string (which is what the contents of the file is), I get a "Conversion from type '_ComObject' to type 'String' is not valid."
Any ideas on how to go about this problem?
I have a special need in a view for a money column to look like money and still be a money datatype. So I need it to look like $100.00 (prefered) or 100.00(can make work).
If I convert like this '$' + CONVERT (NVARCHAR(12), dbo.tblpayments.Amount, 1) it is now a nvarchar and will not work for me.
How can I cast so it is still money? by default the entries look like 100.0000.
They must remain a money datatype.
Hi,I'm having some trouble with my asp.net page and my sql database. What I'm trying to do is allow the user to upload an number to the database, the number is a money amount like 2.00 (£2.00) or 20.00(£20.00). I've tried using money and smallmoney datatypes but the numbers usually end up looking like this in the database...I enter 2.00 and in the database it looks like 2.00000, and even if I enter the information directly into the database I get the same results. I'm not going to be using big numbers with lots of decimal places like this 1000,000,0000. Can anyone help me? All I want is to know what to set the value to on my aspx page and what setting to set the field to in my database, I'd just like two pound to appear as 2.00. any help would be great.
I'm using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 if that helps.
Thanks.

Hi All,
Here in Belgium, we work with a comma as decimal seperator, also in all the web apps...
I've tried to update a money table on the sql with following statement
update parts set article = '" & art & "' and price= cast(" & p & " as decimal(5,2)) where supid=202
in this example p is a variable and contains figures like 5,7
This statement always give following error Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'
does some have an idea how to fix this one ?
thx
Is there a way to format the output of an calculation so that a comma is used as decimal symbaol and a periode after each 3 digits left of the comma ?
We're calculating salary increase like 5000 * 1.025 and the output should look like 5.250,00
Thanks for any help

Greetings,
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

Hi all. Is there a way in SQL to convert the integer to currency format? just for example....
4000 convert to 4,000
1312500 convert to 1,312,500
30000 convert to 30,000
Most of you will say "Do it in your front end"... but the problem is I don't know how to do it in my Report(Business Intelligence Project). If anyone of you knows, tell me please... Thanks. :)

Do 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)?

I'm looking for a way to "secure" a column of MONEY values. The idea is to hide the value without resorting to actual SQL encryption services that would require converting the MONEY to a VARBINARY. In short, I want to keep the column type as MONEY, but I want to scramble the value, so its still a valid MONEY type.
The goal is to have a pair of UDF's SCRAMBLE() and UNSCRAMBLE() that work on MONEY.
I've done some searching, but have not found anything along this topic.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

I know this should be simple but its the night before a deadline and my brain is screwed. Please help!!

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a Price column which has 'money' as the data type.
Then I populated some data into the table. I enter '1.00' in the Price column, then I used the following code to get the data:
Label2.Text = "$" + dataSet1.Tables["products"].Rows[0]["price"].toString();
However, the price is displayed as "$1.0000". But I believe it should display "$1.00". So how can I get rid off the two zeros at the end.
regards
