I need to change a number that looks like 1365 and make it look like 1,365 without any decimal or trailing zeros. Then number can even be a 7 digit number. It seems like the only way I know is the money to varchar conversion using style 1, but this adds trailing zeros and a decimal point. Can anyone help on this
Thanks,

I am doing some simple arithmatic for a query that I am working on. What I have below describes the arithmatic that is taking place withing a portion of the query:
select(o.sales_val/o.qty_sales) as 'Unit_Price', (o.acctng_cost_val/o.qty_sales) as 'Unit_Cost'
from opcsahf as o
go
The division is correct. My only issue is that the results for 'Unit Price' or 'Unit Cost' may be formatted like example: 4.25000000.
How can I have my nubers show up with only to 2 decimal places instead of all the zeros at teh end?
When setting the format property for a textbox containing a number the first parameter relates to a positive number, the second negative and the third to zero.
eg #,###; (#,###); 0
Is there a way of also formatting Null values in the same way without writing custom code?
In the report Layout, if I right-click a cell that is located in the table details row, click Properties, and select the Format tab, there is an option for the Format code. I click on the little dot-dot-dot icon (...) and it brings up the Choose Format option. The choices are Default, Number, Date, Time, Percentage, and Currency. The format that I am interested in is Number, so I click on Number. Now, it shows '1234' ; '1,234.00' ; '1234' ; '1234.00' ; and finally '1.234123e+003'. The choice that I am looking for (or desire) is something that would show 9,452 and that is it. No decimals, but want the comma. I do not see an option for this. The option '1,234.00' has decimals. The two options '1234' and '1234' appear to not have decimals, but they do not appear to have commas either. Further, what is the difference between the first '1234' and the second '1234'?
*** Also, I have a couple formulas that I have entered. I have tried to change the Number Format for these cells in the table details row and nothing changes. Still the same format.
I have number field that I am trying to format. The number currently shows -7899.99. I would like it to show (7,899.99) for negative and 7,899.99 for positive.
Any ideas on how to do this?

Hi,
i just started working on a new project, a RIA with a backend on SQL 2005.
The question that I'm asking - about the databases architecture - is it possible:
a) (this is the preferred solution) to have up to 5 000 (five thousands) databases inside a SQL 2005 instance (each client with his own small db)
b) would it be better to have one large database with tables eventually having near a billion of rows ?
c) one single database with thousands of small tables.
Thank You All.
Edit :
The clients databases will be identical in structure.
The motivaion for having each client with his own database is to ease management (backups, restores, roll-backs) and tools in this direction will be created (scripts, automated procedures, scheduled management plans etc). Each client is proprietary, and to have things separated seems more legal.
The hardware is not a problem, the db server will be a blade center runing a clustered MS Windows Server.
Code Snippet
(07:51:49) him: i haven't followed sql recently but let me see (seems difficult question)
(07:52:36) him: what is the motivation to have different datbases for each client?
(07:52:46) me: (the hardware is not a problem, probably ibm blade center, about the management - tools will be created to ease)
(07:52:52) him: it is it the size/efficiency or you want to separate them
(07:53:02) me: for the back-ups and restores and roll-backs
(07:53:13) me: the db-s r identical
(07:53:30) him: identical in design or data inside them
(07:53:33) me: yes, design
(08:02:12) him: so the limitation is Databases per instance of SQL Server 32,767
(08:02:21) him: so it seems that in that respect you are going to be fine
(08:02:45) me: yes, i've seen the specs
(08:02:50) him: yep
(08:03:03) him: in terms of design
(08:03:13) him: managing 5000 databases would be a nightmare
(08:03:22) him: unless there is some automatic way to do it
(08:04:18) me: that's for shure, and that's what is intented
(08:04:29) me: automadet procedures, scripts etc
(08:05:27) him: so again what is the motivation to partition each client in different database
(08:06:05) me: there is a need to keep their data separate
(08:06:19) me: each client is proprietary
(08:06:44) me: and to have things separated is more legal
(08:07:25) him: well you try with several databases and see how it scales
(08:08:37) him: one thing that would also prevent confusing databases connections and may be helpful if you decide to change the to a single database model is to design the database as if it would be used with many clients but use it just for one
(08:09:09) him: then, if you decide to merge the databases in the future it would be relatively easy
(08:09:16) him: unless this would create too much overhead
(08:09:41) me: yes, this is allready the case
(08:09:58) me: so, i go for a test u say
(08:10:12) me: and see how it's working
(08:10:16) him: ok. then it seems that the issue is maintaince then anything else
(08:10:29) him: yeah. i don't think the sql server would be a problem
(08:10:44) him: there would be some overhead of the different databases but should be small
(08:11:12) me: :)
(08:11:24) me: k, thank you verry much
(08:12:53) him: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread503521.html
(08:13:09) him: i think either way has plus and minuses
(08:16:56) him: also read the forum link i sent you
(08:17:00) me: ty, i'm on it
(08:17:16) him: there are some interesting considerations i did not think of
(08:17:58) me: i just saw about caching maintainance plans, stored procs
HiI'm not sure if this is a .net or a SQL issue. My development machine is using SQL 2005 while the live server is SQL2000. I have a smallmoney field in the database for holding a house rent. The following is used to display the contents on the page<asp:Label ID="lblrent" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("rent", "(0:0.00)") %>'></asp:Label>In development, the number is displayed correctly, with the decimal place, .e.g. 200.50 but on the live server the number is displayed as 20050,00. What I have noticed in the database is that the number is held differentlySQL 2005 - 200.5000SQL 2000 - 20050Is there a difference between SQL 2000 and 2005? How do I get around this problem?
I have an autonumber in the format /100, which displays the first entry as 101 2nd as 102 and so on,

Is this an access thing or should i ask in the .net section?
many thanks

Hi,
It looks like by default the subtotal number inherits the number format from the main column. Is there a way to override it?
In my case I am displaying percents with a decimal point in a column and sometimes the total comes out to 99.9% instead of 100%. I just want to round of the total to alway show 100%.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,

Hi,
Having this sql=-10000 on this statement below, which referes to some mismatch between columns and host-vars.
This runs from MicroFocus program against SQLServer'05 table, all hosts are well defined, same picture.
Interesting thing is that if I change ws-volume for literal, eg.
B3M_VOLUME = 21 it will work fine, but doesn't work with B3M_VOLUME = :WS-VOLUME:
--------------------
EXEC SQL
SELECT *
INTO :DCLVB3M-BASE
FROM VB3M_BASE
WHERE B3M_REMSEQ = :WS-REMSEQ
AND B3M_LOCSEQ =
(SELECT B3M_LOCSEQ FROM VB3M_BASE
WHERE B3M_REMSEQ = :WS-REMSEQ
x2 AND B3M_VOLUME = :WS-VOLUME
x1 AND B3M_BUST <> :WS-BUST)
END-EXEC.
------------------
also anybody can point to good place to see list of all sql codes:

How can I quickly delete thousands of rows in a table (SQL2000) according a query and without blowing up the log file? For instance executing the query:
Delete from transactions
WHERE transactiondatestamp < DATEADD (m,-4,GETDATE())
increases my log file to almost 6GB before job was done an normal size was re-obtained. In addition it took a long to time to get the job done.
With the command truncate table I cannot use query unfortunately but this would be faster.
Anyone has an idea?

I have a query that returns raw tick data from a table. Unfortunately aftereven a few days there are hundreds of thousands of rows so the followingquery is not efficient.SELECT * FROM RAWTICKDATA WHERE Status = 'I' AND ContractCode = ? ANDRawTickID = (SELECT Max(RawTickID) FROM RAWTICKDATA WHERE Status = 'I' ANDContractCode = ? AND PRICE =(SELECT Min(Price) FROM RAWTICKDATA WHERE Status= 'I' AND ContractCode = ?))The most obvious solution then is to get all tick data with status ='I'(Imported) for a contract, process it and then move it to another table forarchiving. I am faced with a problem however: After selecting all data for acontract with status='I' the application was updating these records to a newstatus of 'P' (processed). Unfortunately another application is continuningto feed in live data and so it is possible that we will inadvertantly updateunprocessed data to 'P'.Question: Is it possible to select all records with status 'I' (from abovequery) and update their status to 'P' in one sequence?I am not a programmer, but if this is possible I should be able to implementthe query.Many thanks.Steve
