Float Type Steals My Decimal Points And Money Type Kills My Query
Mar 28, 2008
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 have a table in SQL 2005 with a field that has a value of type 'money'. When values are added, the field has 4 decimal places. Is there a way that I can make it only have 2 decimal places right away? Thanks!!!

Hi,
The default number of decimal points for 'money' data type is 4. Can I change it as 6?
Eg 120.123456
Thanks!

What is the difference between Money and (Float or Decimal) Datatype. If we use Float or Decimal instead of Money, will we loose any functions..?

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
Error:
base {System.SystemException} = {"The given value of type SqlDecimal from the data source cannot be converted to type decimal of the specified target column."}

Hi,
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:
this.court0TableAdapter1.Update(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
this.mycourtsDataSet1.AcceptChanges();
this.court0TableAdapter1.Fill(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
This did not happen with VS2005/CE3.01.
I have tried changing all references to decimal (or money in CE3.5) without luck.
I'm beginning to think that string may be the way to go!!!!!!!
Can someone shed some light on my problem.
Thanks,
Later:
It's necessary to update the datatable adapter as the 3.01 and 3.5 CE are not compatible.

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?

Hello!
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,
Ziga

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

This may be an easy question but I've been reading for about a halfhour and experimenting without results.I simply want the results of my query to display a specific field thatis typed "money" using + and -The program that consumes the data expects + on positive numbers and -on negative. I was hoping to do it in the view instead of processingthe results with the VB application that interogates the DB.Thanks

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,
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

Why 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?

Hi, 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!!

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 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!

Here's what I want to do: I've got a table with orders, each order hasa specific discountrate (an int, which represents a percentage). Eachorder consists of 1 or more items in another table, each item in thattable has a price. Now I want to return the full price and thediscounted price (or the discounted amount).Here's a relevant excerpt of the code:------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE TABLE #tmp (OrderID Integer,Price money,Discount money)DECLARE @Discount moneySELECT @Discount =(((SELECT SUM(OrderDetails.Price * OrderDetailsAmount)FROM OrderDetailsWHERE OrderID = @orderID AND CustomerID = @CustomerID)+(SELECT ISNULL(SUM(OrderDetailsSupplement.Price *OrderDetailsAmount),0)FROM OrderDetailsSupplementINNER JOIN OrderDetails ONOrderDetailsSupplement.OrderDetailsID = OrderDetails.OrderDetailsIDWHERE OrderID = @orderID AND CustomerID = @CustomerID))*( @DiscountRate / 100 ))SELECT CustomerFull,SUM(Price) As Price,SUM(Discount) As Discount,SUM (Products) As Products,COUNT(@orderID) As OrdersFROM #tmpGROUP BY CustomerFullORDER BY CustomerFull------------------------------------------------------------------The problem: instead of getting a low number (like 0.57 for instance),I get a 0. Right now I've "solved" this by replacing "( @DiscountRate /100 )" with just "@DiscountRate" and then dividing by 100 in my aspcode, but I'd really like to know what I'm doing wrong.--BVH

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 ???
Please advise...
4.56 (Inserted)
4.5599999999999996 (Stored)

Hai...
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".
Is there any configuration that need to do.

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 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.
