Hi,
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,
David
I write using the SQL ODBC driver from software into a SLQ table called UPSSHIPMENT the format is as followed:
JobNumber varchar 50
Weight real 4
FreightCost varchar 8
TrackingNumber varchar 50
Shipmethod varchar 50
VOIDID varchar 3
I then have a trigger set to update the PACKAGE table as followed
CREATE TRIGGER [UPS] ON dbo.UPSSHIPMENT
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE PACKAGE
SET WEIGHT = inserted.WEIGHT,
FREIGHTCOST = inserted.FREIGHTCOST,
TRACKINGNUMBER = inserted.TRACKINGNUMBER,
COMMENTS = inserted.SHIPMETHOD
FROM PACKAGE
INNER JOIN inserted on PACKAGE.JOBNUMBER = inserted.JOBNUMBER
WHERE inserted.VOIDID = 'N'
UPDATE PACKAGE
SET WEIGHT = '',
FREIGHTCOST = '0.00',
TRACKINGNUMBER = '',
COMMENTS = 'UPS VOID'
FROM PACKAGE
INNER JOIN inserted on PACKAGE.JOBNUMBER = inserted.JOBNUMBER
WHERE inserted.VOIDID = 'Y'
END
The format of the PACKAGE table is as followed
Jobnumber varchar 50
FreightCost money 8
TrackingNumber varchar 50
Comments varchar 2000
Weight real 4
I am getting the following error
---------------------------
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)
---------------------------
Error 260: Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table 'TESTing.dbo.Package', column 'FreightCost'. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
How do you use the convert function to change the data before the update? Thank You!

Hi,
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
Why does the money data type have 4 decimal places eg £134.3453 or $12.3636
I would have expected it to only have 2.
hi
When we use money data type and which type data

I choose a price field as a money data type, but I cannot change thescale of this.the default scale is 4 (it dimmed).how can I change to 2? I only need 2 scale such as $23.33 instead of$23.3344
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhy does SQL add 4 zeros at the end of a money data type? I have to format my strings once they are retrieved because of this. I am not sure if I did something wrong, but shouldn't it only have 2 trailing zero's?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, How would I convert(or format) money data type, so the output will be like: 123,456.78 or 12,345.67
(In other words how would I insert a comma which separates hundred from thousand...)
Thanks a lot,

I'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!!

Hi 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?
Hi 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!
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.

How to display money type data properly, with commas every 3 digits?
I've tried :
CONVERT (money, ProjectCost, 1) AS ProjectCost
but it gives me the type as 1234.56 no commas in it?
can anyone help me with that?
thanks!
what is the recommended data type i should use if i want to have a price field that can include "TBA". i can't use smallmoney i suppose, so i should use VARCHAR then validate the String with Visual Studio?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Should 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?
Hi all!
I want to create a table. One of the columns should be in the data type MONEY with two digits on the right side of the decimal point.
How is that possible?

I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible?
I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail.
SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime)
FROM panelists
the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'.
I'm rather new to all things SQL, so I only have the vaguest idea of what I'm actually doing.
Thanks for the help!
Happy 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?

This is another rookie one.
Is there a way in SSIS dev environment that will let you convert/cast data type at desing time?
Under data flow mappings, there are so many things you can do, but why I did not find any easy way to convert?
I got this validation warning about not supportng converting type DT_STR to DT_I4, or something related.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks!
I want to print in an error message a money value but have to convert it to a varchar first. I do not have any clue how to do this. Could someone help me out?
SELECT @iError = @@error, @iRowCount = @@rowcount
IF(@iError <> 0 OR @iRowCount <> 1)
BEGIN
CONVERT(@dValue, @cValue)
set @cError = 'Error attempting to insert new record. Product : ' + @cProduct + ' Sub-account : ' + @cSubAccount + ' Cost : $' + @cValue
RAISERROR(@cError, 16, 1)
END
@cValue is a varchar(20)
@dValue is money
Any help?

Hi i've a staging table were i have datatypes of nchar.
I'd like to convert these to money datatype
Am trying to do this like this but the data return is not correct there is aslo null and blank rows so i must account for them also.
select cast(IsNumeric((Value2)) as money)
fromtbl_Sales
cast(round([YearlyProfit]-[MonthlyProfit],0)as int),
cast(round(isnull(sum(SalesProfit]),0),0) as int
How can I convert these columns to money so that I can display the result with comma included.
Ok i know this is simple but i just don't know the syntax. What I haveis a bunch of values and i want to be able to display them as moneyvalues with a $ in front.eg.160000001000160000TO THIS$16,000,000.00$1000.00$16,000.000I'm using MS SQL 2000Cheers

We have the same database in three different environment. The statement below works just fine in two database environment, but I am getting the error in the third one. All the databases are Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I could not pine point the source of the issue. Please any input that you might be able to provide. Thanks
The issue in simplest from
DECLARE @UDF_Value nvarchar(255)
set @UDF_Value = 111
SELECT CONVERT(money, @UDF_Value)
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
I've been trying to solve this problem or just find an alternative to do this. I have filled a temp table with certain values for all columns except those columns that rely on calculations that need certain cell values from other columns in the temp table. I have a while statement that runs through each cell for one calculation column and this is the code that updates the fields on the calc column:
Code Block
EXEC('UPDATE #tblTemp
SET #tblTemp.['+@CalcColumns+'] = (CAST(ISNULL((SELECT #tblTemp.['+@Column1+']
FROM #tblTemp
WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+'''), 0.00)as money) - CAST(ISNULL((SELECT #tblTemp.['+@Column2+']
FROM #tblTemp
WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+''') , 0.00)as money))
WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+'''')
The problem is that it will not let me convert the two values to money. The error is:
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
This is necessary to calculate the difference between these two cells from the temp table. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!
