Hi,
I have a excel file and i am trying to import zip codes to the database... but the some of the zip codes start with 06902 but the excel file treats them as float but i want to treat them as varchar...
How can i do it.

Hi,
I have a excel file which i want to import the data to sql server... The sql server Data type for that particular column is
varchar and it has a contraint too like the data should be in this fashion 00000-0000 or 00000...
but when i try to import the data from the excel to sql server... 08545 just becomes 8545 (cause excel is treating it as a float) and so my insert fails...
what can i do to rectify the problem...
regards
Karen
Hello,
I would like to change the datatype on a particular column from varchar to bigint across 100's of tables within a database.
I have the command ready which is:
ALTER TABLE tablename ALTER COLUMN columnname BIGINT
The problem happening is that it seems there are constraints across all the columns in every tables.
The error message is:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF__tablename__columnname__0ABD916C' is dependent on column 'columnname'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN columnname failed because one or more objects access this column.
I understand that if I delete this constraint, then it will let me modify the datatype of the column, but since there are tons of them and they are randomly named, how do I achive changing the datatype across multiple tables in bulk.
I can't take full credit for this. I want to share this with Jeff Moden who did the important research for this calculation here.
All I did was just adapting some old code according to the mantissa finding Jeff made and optimized it a little
Some test codeDECLARE@SomeNumber FLOAT,
@BinFloat BINARY(8)
SELECT@SomeNumber = -185.6125,
@BinFloat = CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))
SELECT@SomeNumber AS [Original],
CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8)) AS [Binary],
dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Converted],
@SomeNumber - dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Error]
And here is the code for the function.CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float
(
@BinaryFloat BINARY(8)
)
RETURNS FLOAT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE@Part TINYINT,
@PartValue TINYINT,
@Mask TINYINT,
@Mantissa FLOAT,
@Exponent SMALLINT,
@Bit TINYINT,
@Ln2 FLOAT,
@BigValue BIGINT
SELECT@Part = 1,
@Mantissa = 1,
@Bit = 1,
@Ln2 = LOG(2),
@BigValue = CAST(@BinaryFloat AS BIGINT),
@Exponent = (@BigValue & 0x7ff0000000000000) / EXP(52 * @Ln2)
WHILE @Part <= 8
BEGIN
SELECT@Part = @Part + 1,
@PartValue = CAST(SUBSTRING(@BinaryFloat, @Part, 1) AS TINYINT),
@Mask =CASE WHEN @Part = 2 THEN 8 ELSE 128 END
WHILE @Mask > 0
BEGIN
IF @PartValue & @Mask > 0
SET @Mantissa = @Mantissa + EXP(-@Bit * @Ln2)
SELECT@Bit = @Bit + 1,
@Mask = @Mask / 2
END
END
RETURNSIGN(@BigValue) * @Mantissa * POWER(CAST(2 AS FLOAT), @Exponent - 1023)
END
Thanks again Jeff!

Need to know if the varchar datatype field will ingore leading zeros when compared with numeric datatype ?
create table #temp
(
code varchar(4) null,
id int not null
)
insert into #temp
[Code] .....
I have some engineering data in my table and the db designer is representing it with a float datatype. Here's what is happening. If I query on a record based on id num and get a row and put it in text boxes in my Windows App, min_riv_hd_dia (the float) is 0.026<14 zeroes>2. If I try to query and get that same record again but this time based on id num and min_riv_hd_dia equal to 0.026<14 zeroes>2, I get no row found. If I just do a select on this row based on id number, sql server displays it as 0.026. But if I query with 0.026 as my value, still the row is not found. If I query min_riv_hd_dia > 0.026, the record is found.
So my question is, how can I tell the exact value that must be input in my search criteria in order to find this row?
Thank you so much if you can help!
For example, I have a float datatype field with a value of .2501
I select using ROUND(Field,3) and get .25 as a result, but what I need to display is .250 (three decimal places.) How can this be done?
Thanks,

I'm using this query to sum the values. The cost column is a float datatype and what could I differently do here to sum the cost. I'm unable to sum the cost.
Also is there any way I change the datatype to int for Cost column without losing the data.
select ID, MAX(Date) Date, SUM(Cost) Cost, MAX(Funding) Funding from Application
group by ID
Hi,
how to convert nvarchar datatype to float?
Regards
Prashant
I am using sql express 2005 and sql server 2005 with C# 2.0.
I am a bit confused about which data type i should be using for several fields.
Right now I am declaring all of my fields in sql server as float for everything except for money fields which are using money.
When loaded into C# these fields are converted to double and decimal because C# does not have a float datatype.
Should I be using Decimal or Double for everything instead?
Here are a few examples
QtyInvoiced (float) - holds the number of items invoice
possible values look like this 1.0, 1.25 or 1.5
PercentDiscount (float) - holds a percentage
possible values look like this
10.25, 20.50, 50.00
I appreciate the help.
I have a table that contains a lot of demographic information. The data is usually small (<20 chars) but ocassionally needs to handle large values (250 chars). Right now its set up for varchar(max) and I don't think I want to do this.
How does varchar(max) store info differently from varchar(250)? Either way doesn't it have to hold the container information? So the word "Crackers" have 8 characters to it and information sayings its 8 characters long in both cases. This meaning its taking up same amount of space?
Also my concern will be running queries off of it, does a varchar(max) choke up queries because the fields cannot be properly analyzed? Is varchar(250) any better?
Should I just go with char(250) and watch my db size explode?
Usually the data that is 250 characters contain a lot of blank space that is removed using a SPROC so its not usually 250 characters for long.
Any insight to this would be appreciated.
In SQL Server for a field of datatype float(8),
if i insert a value 2.62 , it saves it as 2.6200000000000001
like so for other values also.
But in frontend i can see the right values.
Could any of you help me in fixing up this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hi-
I am trying the following example.
create table mytest (a float, b float(8))
declare @a FLOAT
declare @b varchar(10)
set @b = '0.4'
set @a = @b
PRINT @a
The result is 0.40000000000000002.
Can some one tell me what am I doing wrong? Appreciate your time.

Hi all,
I'm trying to update a table as follows:

OldCol; a varchar
NewCol; Float
Update tbl set newCol = cast(float,oldcol)
Where isNumeric(oldcol) =1
But it give me the follwong error:
Error converting data type from Varchar to Float.
Any suggestion?
Is this possible? I'm trying to user a lookup task and the data I want to compare is a varchar to float. How can I do this? I tried using the data conversion task and it didn't work and also tried cast and convert. Is this even possible or is there a way around it?
thanks,
Hi,
Can I convert from float to varchar without trunc the values? Can I use any mask like '#.##'?

Hi,
When i try to insert a value in to a field of datatype float(8), it is storing the wrong values(approximate values).
For example, if i try to insert 2.62 , it takes it as 2.6200000000000001
But i can see the correct values displayed in the frontend.
Heard that there is a fix available for this issue.
Could any of you help me in getting the details about that fix?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Is there a way to convert varchar or char to float?
Thank you
I have a field in my database that is stored as varchar. The values are usually contain a decimal, and should have really been a float or decimal. In order for me to do analytics in my BI environment, I need to convert this to a float or decimal.
eg of values.

20.00
0.00
15.00

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm getting a bit lost in SSIS. I've got an Excel source file that I'm trying to load into a table. I keep getting validation errors that warn about not being able to convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.
I'm trying figure out where I have to change this and am frankly confused. It seems SSIS is selecting various columns as unicode/WSTR data types, but I want them to import as regular string types.
On the Data Flow tab in SSIS, I right-click on the source Data Flow component (the Excel file) and select Show Advanced Editor. Then on the last tab, Input and Output Properties, there's a tree view for the Excel output. There are "External Columns" and "Output Columns" containers in the tree view.
I tried setting some of these but they don't seem to "take". Do I need to change the data type for each column under both the External and Output columns?
That seems like a lot of work! And, as I say, I tried setting some, but I still got the same validation errors. So, then I go back to this spot (Advanced Editor -> Input and Output Properties tab) and my changes seem to have been lost.
Any help would be appreciated!
I'm trying to find a way to format a FLOAT variable into a varchar inSQL Server 2000 but using CAST/CONVERT I can only get scientificnotation i.e. 1e+006 instead of 1000000 which isn't really what Iwanted.Preferably the varchar would display the number to 2 decimal placesbut I'd settle for integers only as this conversion isn't businesscritical and is a nice to have for background information.Casting to MONEY or NUMERIC before converting to a varchar works finefor most cases but of course runs the risk of arithmetic overflow ifthe FLOAT value is too precise for MONEY/NUMERIC to handle. If anyoneknows of an easy way to test whether overflow will occur and thereforeto know not to convert it then that would be an option.I appreciate SQL Server isn't great at formatting and it would be fareasier in the client code but code this is being performed as adescription of a very simple calculation in a trigger, all stored tothe database on the server side so there's no opportunity for clientintervention.Example code:declare @testFloat floatselect @testFloat = 1000000.12select convert(varchar(100),@testFloat) -- gives 1e+006select cast(@testFloat as varchar(100)) -- gives 1e+006select convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as money)) -- gives1000000.12select @testFloat = 12345678905345633453453624453453524.123select convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as money)) -- givesarithmetic overflow errorselect convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as numeric)) -- givesarithmetic overflow errorAny suggestions welcome...CheersDave

I have this problem of inserting my query into database field. My code is as of below.
The @AVERAGESCORE parameter is derived from
Dim averagescore As Single = (122 * 1 + 159 * 2 + 18 * 3 + 3 * 4 + 0 * 5) / (122 + 159 + 18 + 3 + 0)

However, I have error inserting the averagescore variable into a field of datatype float during the transaction. I have no problems when using non transactional sql insert methods. What could be the problem?
Try
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To arraySql.Count - 1
myCommand = New SqlCommand
Dim consolidatedobjitem As ConsolidatedObjItem = arraySql(i)
