Data Types: DECIMAL Vs. MONEY
Aug 29, 2007What significant difference is there between the two data types when we are indeed dealing with monetary values (other than being able to set the precision and scale)?
Is there a performance gain from one over the other? Are there administrative-related concerns that should force someone to choose one over the other? Are there any concerns of the MONEY data type being sunsetted by Microsoft anytime in the near future?
Can someone please help me out here?
[EDIT]
I was referring to "fields" in the first sentence when it should've been "data types".

Data Access :: 2008 R2 - Format All Money Types
Aug 13, 2015I've got several columns in my database stored as money type. For my purposes, when reporting this data I need to truncate trailing zeros after the decimal. I know I can create a function to do this. I think given the quantity of columns and the numerous queries accessing them, I will undoubtedly forget to use a function everywhere needed.
I thought user defined types may be a solution. I've never used them before. I would still like to store the data as a money type, but anytime it is accessed it would be formatted. Can user defined types do this, or is there a better way?
Advantage Of Using A Data Source In A Project
Jun 18, 2007
I am new to SSIS.
I came across the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms139848(SQL.90).aspx
It states that:
"A data source can be defined one time and then referenced by connection managers in multiple packages. You use a data source object in a package by adding a connection manager that references the data source object to the package. There is no dependency between a data source and the connection managers that reference it."
I have created a data source (DS1) and set it to point to a database say DB1. In the connection managers area, I create a connection manager CM1 using the datasource DS1.Now I edit DS1 to point to a different database DB2. When I open CM1 however it€™s still pointing to DS1.
I guess this is because it€™s said that there is no dependency between the connection manager and data source. My question is what exactly is the advantage of using a data source?

One Or More Columns Do Not Have Supported Data Types, Or Their Data Types Do Not Match.
Oct 20, 2007
Hi,
I´m exporting an ms-excel file, then I use a lookup transformation to get a field from a SQL Server 2005 table. The Lookup transformation editor, after selecting the table, shows a warning that says:
at least one mapping between a column from available input columns ans a column from available lookup columns must be defined on the columns page.
So I try to make a relationship in the Lookup transformation editor's column tab where I find the Available input columns and the available lookup columns but I get the following error:
The following columns cannot be mapped:
[Department, DEP_CLEGALCODE]
One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
The field in SLQ Server is varchar(10) and the input field is a derived column transformation; I have tried different Data Types but I always have the same error.
The DataFlow is: ExcelSource --> Derived Column --> Lookup --> Flat file destination
thanks.
How Can I Cast A Money Field In A View To Look Like Money
Oct 16, 2007I 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.
Money Data Type
Jul 15, 2004Hi,
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

I would have expected it to only have 2.

May 12, 2005Hi,
I'm using the data type "money" in my SQL database and want to convert what's in txtPrice_textBox to the "money" format. I'm currently using the following code:
' objectCym.price = Convert.ToInt16(txtPrice_textBox.Text) '
Will this work? Is there any reason I should stay away from the "Money" data type?
Thanks,

Money Data Type Question
Jun 7, 2003I'm using the money data type in a field - but (obvious to me) I need the data to contain two decimal places NO MATTER WHAT - even if they are zeros!
I keep putting in "5.20" and I get "5.2".
How do I keep this from happening? I need both decimal places! I thought about using a text field - but that seems to be wasteful and I would have to do a type cast to do numeric computations.
There has to be a way to do this - this IS the purpose of the data type, isn't it??
Thanks for any help!!

Money Data Type - No Bigmoney :(
Sep 15, 2005Hi Guys,
We are looking for advice on what to do here; we started out with our db holding ex VAT pricing now. Now the problem is the money type can only hold a few decimal places so when we are converting prices to incl vat it can't actually output the correct pricing and it comes our very ugly.
Unfortunately there is no bigmoney data type so we are in a bit of an awkward position
Any idea's?
How To Set MONEY Data-type To Scale 2
Jun 4, 2004Hi All,
Is there a way to set a MONEY datatype to a scale (decimal places) of 2?
The default is set to 4 and I can't seem to find any resources on how to change it.
Do I have to add a check constraint to manually round to 2 decimals??
That seems unneccessary.... but if it is, boo-urns to sql server.
thanks!

View 1 Replies View RelatedScale Of Money Data Type In Output File
Jul 17, 2006I have some data that I am outputting to a text file:
sum(sales)
where sales is datatype money. If I execute the query with query analyzer I get 4 decimals, but when it is output to a text file it rounds the number
Grid Text File
2182035.9600 2182035.96
961799.2400 961799.24
22104768.1850 22104768.185
If I do cast or convert it to money it does the same thing.
It really doesn't make a material difference for its intended use but I would like to keep it consistent with 4 decimals.
SQL Server 2008 :: Allow Null On Data Type Money?
Oct 15, 2015Should data type money allow nulls? Are there valid arguments both pro and con?
Yes, there is the age-old question regarding how one might interpret a NULL found in any column - does it mean the amount is not known or that the amount is zero (in the case of a numeric type)? You get the drift...
Other than that, though - are there any practical considerations an old data hound ought to be aware of?

Storing A Money Data Item (in SQL Server) In A Double SSIS Variable

Select Sum(Grossamount) from Table1
I then assign the result of above sql stmt to the SSIS variable grosstot within the same Execute SQL task.
it gives me the error :
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "grosstot ": "The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::grosstot " differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object. ".

Data Access :: Validation For Length Of The Character Data Types
Jun 10, 2015I Have a table with #Sample like below
=================================
#Sample
id int,
SSN varchar(20),
State varchar(2)
Â
Sample Data:
ID SSN STATE
1 999-000-000 AB
2 979-000-000Â BC
3 995-000-000Â CD
=================================
We used filter logic based on the SSN & State.
We are passing these values through variables like
Declare @State varchar(2)
Declare @SSN varchar(20)
While run time these values are lets suppose @SSN = '999-000-000' & @State='ABC'
Now the Result is displayed with the state data Like 'AB' only.
Output: 1 999-000-000 AB
instead it should give system generated error.
Here I have 2 Questions:
1. Why it is taking 1st 2 Charecters?
2. Why it does not have any system generated for length?
I can do validation with Length function for these 2 variables however if have 100 variables then it should not feasible case. So, what is the reason behind?Â
