Hi,
I'm loading millions of rows into a database table. This data contains a lot of dedcimal values of 4 or 6 decimal places somtimes more.
I've found that storing them as floats is inaccurate, and I'm storing as decimals of the appropriate length.
I'm concerned whether this is the right way to do this ?
Can anyone make any suggestions, perhaps an article that I should take a look at ?

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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had an earlier problem updating a field in a sql table witha decimal which was sorted. I am now having the problem again.
In the SQL table my field is type numeric and scale 2
In my asp.net code I have stepped through the running code and the value is 77.50
However when the sp updates the table it is stored as 78.
In the sp the parameter is type numeric.

I have a column in a table with a data type of float.
When I update it to store 7.50, it changes it to 7.5
Is there any way to force it to store 2 decimal points?
I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I have Excel source and OLE DB Destination.I have problem with importing CustomerSales column.CustomerSales values like 1000.00,2000.10,3000.30,NotAvailable.So I have decimal values and nvarchar mixed in on Excel column. This is requirement for solution.However SSIS reads only numeric values correctly and nvarchar values are set as Null. Why?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Import_CustomerSales](
[CustomerId] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[CustomeName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[CustomerSales] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
I am retrieving a <NULL> value out of a SQL database, displaying it in a text box, then updating the database with the results of the text box.
I am using the following code to make the insert.
.Parameters("@BodilyInjuryPerson").Value = txtBodilyInjuryPerson.Text
When I have values for the text string, everything runs smoothly. However, when the database originally had a <NULL> or when I want to delete the currently existing value and replace it with a <NULL>, I get an error message stating... "Input string was not in a correct format".
Back in the old days, when I was using Random Access databases, you just inserted a Char(0). But that doesn't work any more.
Could somebody help me. I know there is a magic bullet, I just don't know what it is.
When I update a field f1 I should store its previous value in the field f2. How can I achieve this?

The values that are being fetched from the database are not being read as is , when there are decimal values with 10 or more digits after the point, the values are truncated (approximated) to 8 digits
The approximation is not consistent in all the cases
Some times depending on the numbers for example 0.434000001 is truncated to 0.434.
This is happening when i read the values from the sql database using the SqlDataReader.GetValue method into an ArrayList in C# .NET
Hi All,
I have a table Saleshistory with 89481412 records. I have a field Sales of nvarchar type, all the records in this field are numeric, and the records are with 2 decimal places. I expect all the records to be ending at .00 (for example 5.00,345.00,25.00), but I want to verify if something is for example 5.6 etc.
So in short I want to check if any Salesrecords have more than zero values in the decimal. How can I check this.
Please help.
Thanks,

Hi
I have an SQL search that is converting two values to type money. I want it to show two digits after the decimal point but am getting inconsistent results. The first value is as follows:
tblInventoryItem.itemcost as originalcost (the column is datatype money)
This displays correctly i.e. 2000.00 or 150.70 etc
The second value is this:
tblInventoryItem.itemcost + tblUpgrades.ItemCost as totalcostincupgr (both columns are datatype money)
But this displays as 2000 or 150.7
How can I get the second value to show two decimal places even when the digits are zeros?
Thanks!
Hi. I I'm importing a text file with lot's of decimal values with this format xx.xx. The problem is that my locale is Portugal and the points are being striped off and are not being considered as decimal separators (for example I have values like 0.04 and in the sql server database i see 4). I have tried to change the locale but i receive a message saying that the locale is not installed in my system.
Any help on this ? tnks in advance
Hi Guys,
I want to find out if a ceratin column has values with decimal figures populated? for example say column A has values
10.00
20.00
30.00
50.01
in this case the query should let me know that there is one figure (50.01) with a actual decimal value. So the results of the query should be 1 (since one record has decimal figures <>.00)
Cananyone help

Hi,
I need a resolution of the following issue:
Following SQL is to be inserted in an audit table :
INSERT INTO GLOBAL_VARIABLE_LOAD
([LOAD_ID]
,[LOAD_STATUS]
,[START_TIME]
,[END_TIME])
VALUES
(@P_LOAD_ID
,@P_LOAD_STATUS
,@P_START_TIME
,@P_END_TIME)
@P_LOAD_ID, @P_LOAD_STATUS, @P_START_TIME, @P_END_TIME are the 4 parameters mapped to global variables (At package Level) which store values mapped in a previous SQL Task in my control flow.
Following Error Message is thrown on executing the SQL Task:
Invalid object name 'GLOBAL_VARIABLE_LOAD'.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Can anyone guide me as to how should I go about saving values in global variables and inserting them in a table.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

hi, i'm using the following code to generate the value of a column in a database, where the colums value is dependent upon the multiplication of two other cells in the same row.

An exmple.................It just multiplied 200 by 2.50 and returned 600SqlCommand objCmd2 = new SqlCommand("UPDATE Portfolio SET Current_Worth=Current_Price*Number_Of_Shares WHERE Name_Of_Asset LIKE '%'+@Name_Of_Asset+'%'", objConn);objCmd2.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name_Of_Asset", DropDownList1.SelectedValue);objConn.Open();objCmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();objConn.Close(); Any ideas?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe string column value looks like as below. Each value has a size of 15 withing a string
'2.2020 30 4.0000'
The column value should match with user input as below. The result should show equal when it is compared. Currently, it results not equal since it is a string comparision. The last digit '0' needs to be ignored for decimal values.
'2.202 30 4.0'
I need to handle the decimal values in such a way, if staring value with '.' and last digit is 0 then replace with space ''. So, it should look like
'2 2 2 30 4 ' = '2 2 2 30 4 '
When this string is compared, it results in EQUAL.
I tried the below logic, which even replaces the integer value like 30 to 3 and 3000 to 3 and results in equal which is incorrect.
RTRIM(REPLACE(REPLACE(RT1.rate,'''+@DOT+''','''+@S PACE+'''), '''+@ZERO+''', '''+@SPACE+''')) = '''+REPLACE(REPLACE(@Rate,'.',' '), '0', ' ')+''' '
Ex:'2.2020 300 4.00' = '2.20200 30 4.0'
After replace, string looks like
Ex:'2 2 2 3 4 ' = '2 2 2 3 4 '
It results as EQUAL which is incorrect. I need only decimal value to be replaced not integer.
I am looking for a single string replace logic.

Hi,
I have a table called geofence. It has a primary key geofence_id. Each geofence consists of a set of latitudes and latitudes.
So I defined two columns latitude and longitude and their type is varchar. I want to store all latitude/longitude values as a comma separated values in latitude/longitude columns
So in general how do people implement these types of requirements in relational databases?

I am importing an excel spreadsheet into a MS SQL database table. When the spreadsheet is finished importing, I am noticing that some values that were brought in resemble something like this 1.41666666666667. Other values may be shorter or only have 1 digit. The problem is another web application that pulls this data for use in online forms only allows up to 2 digits. How can I round all of the numbers like the above to 2 decimals and replace the existing values?
I know there is the rounding function that could be used like so:
SELECT ROUND ([Hrs Total 2],2)
FROM AnnualClassifiedPAFs
How do I then take that rounded value and insert it back into the records?
Let's say you had a User table and one of the fields was called Deceased. It's a simple closed-ended question, so a bit value could be used to satisfy the field, if the person is dead or alive. Let's say another field is called EyeColor. A person can have only one eye color and thus one answer should be stored in this value, so this is easy as well.
Now, let's say I want to store all the languages that a specific user can speak. This isn't as easy as the previous examples since it's not a yes or no or a single-value answer. I haven't had much experience with working with databases so I've come up with two possible ways with my crude knowledge hehe.
In terms of inputting the multi-answer values, I suppose I could use a multiple-selection listbox, cascading dropdowns, etc. Now, here are the 2 solutions that came to mind.....
1) Make a field called LanguagesSpoken in the User table. When I process the selections the user makes on the languages he knows, I can then insert into the LanguagesSpoken field a string "English, Spanish, Czech" or IDs corresponding to the languages like "1, 5, 12" (these IDs would be referenced from a separate table I guess). I would use commas so that later on, when I need to display a user's profile and show the user's languages, I can retrieve that long string from the LanguagesSpoken field, and parse the languages with the commas I've used. Using commas would just be a convention I use so I would know how to parse (I could have used "." or "|" or anything else I guess) the data.
2) Forget about the LanguagesSpoken field in the User table altogether, and just make a LanguagesSpoken table. A simple implementation would have 3 fields (primary key, userId, languageId). A row would associate a user with a language. So I would issue a query like "SELECT * FROM LanguagesSpoken WHERE userId=5" (where userId=5 is some user). Using this method would free me from having to store a string with delimited values into the User table and then to parse data when I need them. However, I'm not sure how efficient this method would be if the LanguagesSpoken table grows really large since the userIds would NOT be contiguous, the search might take a long time. I guess I would index the userId field in the LanguagesSpoken table for quicker access?
OR, I may be going about this the wrong way and I'm way out on left field with these 2 solutions. Is there a better way other than those 2 methods?
I haven't work extensively with databases and I'm just familiar with the basics. I'm just trying to find out the best-practice implementation for this type of situation. I'm sure in the real world, situations like this is very common and I wonder how the professionals code this.
Thanks in advance.
Hello there,I just want to ask if storing data in dbase is much better than storing it in the file system? Because for one, i am currenlty developing my thesis which uploads a blob.doc file to a web server (currently i'm using the localhost of ASP.NET) then retrieves it from the local hostAlso i want to know if im right at this, the localhost of ASP.NET is the same as the one of a natural web server on the net? Because i'm just thinking of uploading and downloading the files from a web server. Although our thesis defense didn't require us to really upload it on the net, we were advised to use a localhost on our PC's. I'll be just using my local server Is it ok to just use a web server for storing files than a database?
