Disabled The Automatic Round Of SQL SERVER 2000 On The Float Data Type
Jun 19, 2007
Hello,
I have a problem with the round of SQL Server 2K on the float data type.
In my application I do a SQL request for find a row in a table of SQL Server 2K.
This is the request :
SELECT DISTINCT N_ROW_ID FROM COMM WHERE N_ARTICLE_ID=79510 AND N_DATASOURCE_ID=1 AND N_SOURCE_ID=-102 AND N_PROVIDER_ID=-100
AND N_LEAD_TIME IS NULL AND N_UNIT_PRICE = 329.78 AND N_UNIT_PRICE_CURRENCY_ID=1
N_UNIT_PRICE is a float data type.
In the line need, the field N_UNIT_PRICE has 329.78 but with the round of SQL Server 2K I have 329.779999999999997.
So I never find the row
Do you have a solution for comparate a float flied with SQL Server round and a float send in a request as my 329.78?
I can't transform the column in decimal or numeric data type.
Is there a way of rounding up floating point numbers without CASTing as shown in a number of the replies ? For example, a table value is 103.365 and I'd like to see values of 103.365 and above (103.366,103.367, 103.368, 103.369) rounded to 103.37. Is is possible to do this with a function or setting in SQL Server 2005 or is it necessary to write T-SQL to do the rounding ?
1. In c++ (or any other language) I'm copying bit by bit to a doublevariable dob_var.2. If I copy dob_var to dob_var2 which is also a double I do not loseinformation.3. This implies that the same would be when copying to a data base, butwhen I write dob_var to an sql server float field (same size as adouble variable = 64 bit) it sometimes loses information. e.g. whenvalue=1E-320.It is true that SQL float is valid until 1E-308 but so is a C++ double.Any comments?
I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:
I am using SQL Server 7.0. I create a table with one field..type of float. Using SQL Server Query Analyzer: INSERT INTO MyTable(MyField) VALUES (4.9) INSERT INTO MyTable(MyField) VALUES (Round(4.9,2))
SELECT * FROM MyTable
Result = 4.9000000000000004
This is a basic example of a problem I am having in another table with the same float field that I am using to store money in. I don't want to use the money field as the BDE from Borland has some issues with money fields. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
We are using a GL package called Solomon. It uses SQL Server 7.0 for it's database. I want to create a data warehouse using this data as the source. The package uses the float data type for dollar amounts. The dollar amounts in the data have either no numbers, 1 number, or 2 numbers after the decimal point. Is the float data type the best one to use in my data warehouse for dollars and cents, or should I try using the monetary or decimal (precision 2) data type? Which type uses the most storage?
Hi,we found some strange behavior when operating with floats and round().The following simplified statement reproduces the problem.select 6.56 - round(convert(float, 6.56), 2)from sysusers where name = 'public';===========-8.88178419In "real world", the floats are not literals, but float fields in tables.I could figure, that 6.56 - 6.56 will result in something like 0.00001,but -8.88178419 is beyond my imagination.The same statement without round results in 0.Has anyone any clue on this?Regards,Peter
Hi all, I have declared a field with datatype as float. When I enter value with two precision it chooses to round off to lower value and insert into the database.
I am losing precision in this case.
I want to insert 4.56. It inserts the way shown and hence all my further calculations go haywire.
Is SQL server designed to store float like this or Am I doing soemting wrong ???
Hopefully ur guys can help me. I declare data type as float in price table. So the problem here is, whenever i enter a float number and move to the second row to enter a new number. The first number in the first row will automatically change to integer, without no reason. For example "2.3" will become "25".
hello anyone... i got this message "Error converting data type varchar to float" when i was trying to insert values into table using instead of trigger...
below is my table ClimateData

I want to store a number of .NET type double (16,95) into the database column of type numeric, but it is stored as integer (17) and when I call the value in my application, it is displayed as 17. How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance,
Hello, I have a simple question. Is it at all possible to replace columns which has nulls with blank spaces for a float data type column. The columns has null values( written)) in it in some rows and has numbers in other rows . I want to remove nulls before copying it to another file. Thanks
In the following code I want to compare 2 values: AccessVal and SQLVal. The values are stored as nvarchars, so I'm isolating the numeric values in a subquery. Notice I'm only selecting 1 row. The commented line, where I compare the values, is throwing the error.
SELECT QA_AutoID, AccessVal, SQLVal ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) as AccessFloat ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) as SQLFloat FROM QA WHERE QA_AutoID in ( SELECT TOP 1 QA_AutoID FROM QA WHERE ISNUMERIC(SQLVal) = 1 AND ISNUMERIC(AccessVal) = 1 ) --AND ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) <> ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) ORDER BY ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) DESC ,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) DESC
Here is the output with the comparison commented out...
Here's what I get with the comparison line activated:
I've tried converting to numeric, int and bigint instead of float. I've tried CAST instead of CONVERT. Nothing works.
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?
I'm using SQL server 2014 and all of a sudden the server stops working and I have to go to the configuration manager to start it. Though the start mode is set to automatic, this still happens and I just don't know why.
Hi all, I wanna know about, r Sql Server 2000 support the Booleon data type, if yes plz tell how can it use... and also tell about some common Data type. Thanx in advance Sajjad
I'm running into a constant issue of SQL Server modifying themillisecond part of a timestamp insert from another application. Theapplication inserts timestamp which includes a millisecond portion as astring (varchar). But when an SQL Server moves this data to anothertable (for reporting), the string is inserted in a datetime field, themillisecond field invariably changes by 1-2 milliseconds for everysingle data point inserted. Given the time critical nature of this data(to a millisecond), its almost impossible to avoid this other than toleave the data as string type. But this drives the analytical reportingfolks wild as report queries based on time criteria are getting messedup. Any ideas how to force SQL Server not to mess around with themillisecond value? Does this problem exist with SQL Server 2005 as well?
I am manually replicating parts of a SQL Server CE database (running windows mobile 5.0) to a centralized SQL Server 2000 database.
My program is throwing an exception whenever I try to insert an image data type into the 2000 server from the PDA. I am using parameterized queries.
Error is as follows: [error] System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError() at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError() at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning() at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run() at System.Data.SqlClient.ExecuteReader() at System.Data.SqlClient.ExecuteNonQuery() at PDASync.Database.ExecuteIDRemote() [/error]
The code for my ExecuteIDRemote method works fine for other queries. It also works if I remove the image column from the offending query.
I am looking for bidirectional transactional replication using updatable subscribers (queued or immediate) . Is it possible to replicate the image data from the updatable subscribers to the publisher. I understood that the Image data can't be replicated to the publisher from the updatable subscriber. I am not using the WRITETEXT or UPDATETEXT. I am using just INSERT and UPDATE for image data type transactions.
Hi, I have been scheduling jobs from past couple months on production but it does not execute on the scheduled time.
I checked the schedule enabled tab, it was enabled when i scheduled the job, but was disabled at a later date when i checked to see why the job did not run.......
Can some one please guide me if there is any process in SQL which disables the jobs automatically.
I want to find out how the jobs when scheduled and enabled gets disabled on its own.
Hi,i have a problem about the CLIENT-SERVER architecture procedure.Well , i have an application in VB with ADO connection to a table in adatabase on a SQLSERVER 7.0 .Is possible to do that when a client updates a data in a field of my table ,the SERVER communicates to all clients connected to my table that this dataare updated , without the client do anything , for example without aclient-timer to control the data in the server ???thanks
Hai Every one i am facing a werid problem it is related to storing a long text data in SQL 2000 the text data is some thing like the following "dshjfsjlksdjakdjlksadjfeidkadflkdsajfieawirfjalkdfjsakdfjaiekdvnmckaumnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmoadifdjsakdjfauiereoweiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidalfkjdsa,mlfdsdflvmsaldifsdjfskladfakdfjakladkalfkfadkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkadlkfjaidfajfkamcmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmiadlmfalierfmaerjeaiaelelllllllllllllllllllll..." in short it is really long so i opted to go with TEXT data type as it states that it can store more than 8 kb but when i try to insert this data it gives me error stating that Text data type cannot be of length more than 128...........? What am i doing wrong........if Text is not the proper datatype to store such a data then can anyone suggest some thing better............... Thanks in advance Austin
I realize this must be an unexpected question in this day and age of MS SQL 2005, however, at my company i need to upgrade from SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000 standard on a WIN2K machine.
can anyone out there tell me why the option to upgrade ("Upgrade, remove, or add components to an existing installation of SQL Server") is disabled ?
I'm reading that i should be able to upgrade without having to install a second instance.
