This one cost me a solid half hour yesterday. I'm wondering why on
earth the default precision for a decimal type is 18,0. Maybe I'm
mistaken. A decimal datatype sort of implies that you'd want something
after the decimal!
Question is, can I set this database-wide? Like all new decimal
datatypes have a precision of 12,6 or something like that? I haven't
seen anything about this in the googling I have done...
I have a CSV Flat File Source with a Decimal column - but DataPrecision property is grayed out - why?

Hello,
Data is being trnasferred from an Oracle view to a SQL Server 2005 table.
Decimals can be previewed in the from the "SQL Command Text Window" but the columns in the target table which are defined as float shows the data being rounded to zero decimal places.
For the Data Source the always use default code page is selected.
Is there a way to retain the decimals?
Thank you,

Hello!
I´m having some trouble converting values represented as strings to the decimal data type.
I have a flat file source, from where I read some currency rates represented without decimals.
Before sending those values to my SQL Server destination, I want to convert them to represent correct values.
An example to clarify:
If my source contains a column named "curr_rate" with the value 000092500 I want to send it
to my destination as 9,2500.
So I set up a Dervied column component, converting my value like so:
((DT_NUMERIC,9,4)curr_rate)/10000
My problems is that the precision is lost, and all that´s sent to my destination table is 9,0000.
How should I go about to convert my strings without losing precision in the process?
Thanks in advance!
I've a SQL view performing a number of very precise calculations ie.495/(1.112 - (.00043499*((Col1 + Col2 + Col3))) + ( .00000055 * ((Col1+ Col2 + Col3)) * ((Col1 + Col2 + Col3))) - (.00028826 * Col4))) -450)/100Obviously this sometimes causes a precision issues because the floatand real datatypes don't hold precise values... My problem is thatconverting to the numeric or decimal datatype easily produces an errorif the precision is not big enough to hold the resulting output... Sohere's my questions:Does anyone see a problem with me maxing out the precision of thedecimal datatype (ie. use DECIMAL(38,8) across a couple dozeninter-related formulas?So the above code would now exec like this:495/(CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),1.112) -(CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),.00043499)*((Col1 + Col2 + Col3))) +(CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),.00000055) * ((Col1 + Col2 + Col3)) * ((Col1 +Col2 + Col3))) - (CONVERT(DECIMAL(38,8),.00028826) * Col4))) - 450)/100If anyone does see a problem with this approach, could you suggestanother alternative?

I am creating a table on SQL Server. One of the columns in this new table contains whole integer as wells as decimal values (i.e. 4500 0.9876). I currently have this column defined as Decimal(12,4). This adds 4 digits after the decimal point to the whole integers. Is there a data type that will have the decimal point only for decimal values and no decimal point for the whole integers?

I would like to cast (convert) data type decimal(24,4) to
decimal(21,4). I could not do this using standard casting function
CAST(@variable as decimal(21,4)) or CONVERT(decimal(21,4),@variable)
because of the following error: "Arithmetic overflow error converting
numeric to data type numeric." Is that because of possible loss of the
value?
Thanks for giving me any advice,

I receive patient demographic files from hospitals that are in several different formats. I have written translations for each format. I need to upload the files into our accounting software. I have the file layout to upload data and it looks like this.

In SQL Server I have not found a way to set precision on an int. I have to have the correct length, and data type (A for alfa which is left justified and N for numeric which is right justified) field for a succsessfull upload. Suggestions on what data types to use would be very helpful, and then suggestions on how to output the data in a text file described example above would be a life saver.
I'm reading the MS Training Kit for SQL 2005 Admin, Exam 70-431, (no debating certs, please), and I come across this gem, discussing numeric data types such as bigint, int, smallint, decimal, numeric, etc...
"The storage is also precisely defined, so any data stored in these data types returns and calculates to the same value on either an Intel or an AMD processor and architecture."
So exactly how precise would you have to be to notice a difference between architectures?
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?
Hi,
The table in SQL has column Availability Decimal (8,8)
Code in c# using sqlbulkcopy trying to insert values like 0.0000, 0.9999, 29.999 into the field Availability
we tried the datatype float , but it is converting values to scientific expressions€¦(eg: 8E-05) and the values displayed in reports are scientifc expressions which is not expected
we need to store values as is

Our shop recently upgraded to MS SQL 2005 server from the prior SQL 2000 product.
I receive and error during processing related to inserting a value into a field of datatype real. This worked for years under MS SQL 2000 and now this code throws an exception.
The exception states:
The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Parameter 15 ("@TEST"): The supplied value is not a valid instance of data type real. Check the source data for invalid values. An example of an invalid value is data of numeric type with scale greater than precision.
This error is caused by inserting several values that fall outside of a range that MS SQL 2005 documentation specifies.
The first value that fails is 6.61242e-039. SQL Server 2005 documentation seems to indicate that values for the datatype real must be - 3.40E + 38 to -1.18E - 38, 0 and 1.18E - 38 to 3.40E + 38.
Why doesn't 6.61242e-039 just default to 0 like it used to?
I saw an article that might apply, even though I just use a C++ float type and use some ATL templates.
Is my question related to this post?http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=201636&SiteID=1
In SQL Server I've created a linked server to an Oracle database. I am trying to insert (within the context of an sql server table trigger) an SQL Server datetime to an Oracle column with similar precision. Oracle timestamps are not compatible with sql server datetimes and I don't know how to convert the data (or if I should use a different type of column to store the data in Oracle). I have full control over the structure of the Oracle table so I can use a different type if timestamp is not best, but I need the destination column to have at least the same precision as the sql server datetime value. What is the easiest way to do this?

I need to store 256 bit hash (SHA-2 alogrithmn) in one of the table'sprimary key. I would prefer to use numeric data type rather varcharetc.* Decimal datatype range is -10^38 +1 to 10^38 -1. I can split my 256bit hash into two decimal(38, 0) type columns as composite key* I can store the hash as varbinary. I never used it and don't havemuch understanding in terms of query writing complexities and dealingit through ADO (data type etc.)It would be heavy OLTP type of systems with hash based primary keyused in joins for data retrieval as well.Please provide your expert comments on this.RegardsAnil

I have an urgent needs.
I want to store null for decimal type to sql server. But I do not know how to do that. I get data from user input. If the user did not enter anything in the textbox, then I want to store null to sql server. I list a piece od code below. I got error in the last line fItemObject.ChargeAmount = null;.

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,

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I'm trying to update a decimal field with a single decimal number (1.8) the problem i'm having, is that it's rounding the number up (2). I would've thought that a decimal datatype would keep the decimal places correct?

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

I don't want to use a for loop enumerator since there is a single row returned.
I simply want to assign these two values to SSIS Double variables (double is the closest match)
I can't even hack this by converting the decimals as string and then using DirectCast to convert them to Double.
