Scale For Decimal Data Type
Feb 19, 2002
I am using the statement below to calculate the average scores of the columns. When the result set is returned I would like to have a scale of 2. I am currently returning a scale of 6. What could I do to fix this?
Thanks for you help,
John
SELECT ((CONVERT(decimal(4,2),c2_3) + CONVERT(decimal(4,2),c2_15) +
CONVERT(decimal(4,2),c2_16) + CONVERT(decimal(4,2),c2_17)) / 4 * 100) AS Score_A
FROM dataquestionnaire
WHERE confirmation = '10/1/2001-999-1'

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 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!

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.

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."}

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

This is not a real big deal, cause I worked around it.. but I just tried to INCREASE the scale on a decimal column & got an arithmatic overflow error. I can understand why this would occur if trying to decrease the scale, but not increasing it. This is not a computed column.. why does SQL give an overflow error if all it has to do is add a couple of zeros to the end? Yes, I know SQL considers them to be different data types, but this is still confusing me.

I am working with an off the shelf app that controls decimal places through the application. All columns underlying the apps 'numeric' fields are floats. We are writing some scripts that need to compare numbers and some of them look like the second row
KELLYJ 2.1233
DONOVM 1.6000000000000001
OLSSON 15.3750
I have tried using round and cast. My examples work like the following:
SELECT 27.719999999
SELECT CAST(ROUND(27.719999999,4) AS DECIMAL(50,4))
When I try the same against a column to update the entire table it leaves the rows like above as longer to the right of the decimal point.
Any pointers on how to get these numbers back to 4 decimals places would be much appreciated

Hi,
I have a derived column transformation which adds a new column of type Decimal with scale 2.
The expression is (6800 / 464)
Runs fine but it returns
14.65
While if I run any of the following queries in query analyzer SELECT 6800 /
464OR
SELECT CONVERT(DECIMAL(10,2), 6800 / 464)
They give me 14.66.
My question is, why both the tool of same product differs in the way they work ? and How could I have SSIS to work like TSQL ? I tried typecasting in derived column expression and ROUND function too. But still, the output is same.
Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated.
Thanks

I have decimal(6,2) defined in a column. If I insert 90.6, it will display 90.60 , 0 becomes .00 .
Is there a way or configuration change so the 0's will on the last will not be showing. And
the 0 will display as 0 not .00?
Thanks in advance.

Hi There,
I'm using C# to get a value for a DOUBLE precision variable, called "Length", from a textBox using the following line:
Length = Convert.ToDouble( txtLength.Text )
I'm also using the following lines to prepare my stored procedure call:
arParms[9] = new SqlParameter("@Length", SqlDbType.Decimal, 5);
arParms[9].Value = record.Length;
My stored procedure has the following parameter definition:
@Length decimal(9,3)
My problem is that if someone types a value bigger than 999999 in the textbox he will get for sure the following error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Error converting data type numeric to decimal.
I don't know how to either make sql or C# to truncate the value or catch the exception to automatically assign 0 to the parameter.
Please Help.

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

Hi 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?
This is quite annoying.. I've been searching around the web for an answer.. To no avail (I'm probably asking the wrong question)
Can someone please point me in the right direction?

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 am trying to setup an indicator value for an SSRS report to show green and red values on a report, based on the NRESULT value. The problem I am facing is that I have several different CASE statements that have the same logic, and they are processing just fine. NRESULT is a decimal field, so no conversion should be necessary. I do not know why I am getting the "Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric." error message.
Below is the CASE statement where the error is occurring. It is in the part of the ELSE CASE. The first CASE works just fine when the ELSE CASE is commented out. If I also change the ELSE CASE statement to say "else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then '0'", then it processes fine, too, so it has to be something I am missing something in the check on negative values. I do need the two checks, one for positive and one for negative values, to take place.
case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) <> '-' then --This portion, for checking positive values, of the CASE statement works fine.
CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) between 0.00 and 0.49 THEN '2' --Green
ELSE CASE WHEN LEFT(ROUND(NRESULT,2),4) > 0.49 THEN '0' --Red
ELSE '3' --White
END
END
else case when LEFT(NRESULT,1) = '-' then --This portion, for checking negative values, of the CASE statement is producing the conversion error message.
[code]....
I checked the NRESULT field, and there are not any NULL values in there, either.

I am working with a legacy SQL server database from SQL Server 2000. I noticed that in some places that they use decimal data types, that I would normally think they should be using integer data types. Why is this does anyone know?
Example: AutomobileTypeId (PK, decimal(10,0), not null)

This one cost me a solid half hour yesterday. I'm wondering why onearth the default precision for a decimal type is 18,0. Maybe I'mmistaken. A decimal datatype sort of implies that you'd want somethingafter the decimal!Question is, can I set this database-wide? Like all new decimaldatatypes have a precision of 12,6 or something like that? I haven'tseen anything about this in the googling I have done...

if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtDescription.Text)) myObject.LongDesc = txtLongDesc.Text; else myObject.LongDesc = null;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtAmount.Text)) myObject.Amount = Convert.ToDecimal(txtChargeAmount.Text); else myObject.ChargeAmount = null;
// Then I submit the myobject to the sql server.

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,
Scott

I would like to 'drop' some trailing zeros from a decimal value, e.g.: 50.000000, and I am wondering how to go about this?
The value is definitely of decimal type, and in this instance I know that I want to eliminate exactly six (6) zeros.

I am trying to have an Excecute SQL Task return a single row result set executed on SQL Server 2005.
The query in the Execute SQL Task is:
select 735.234, 2454.123
I get a conversion error when trying to assign to SSIS variables of type Double.
I have nothing configured in the "Parameter Mapping" tab.
I have the two SSIS Double variables mapped to the Tesult Name 0 and 1 in the "Result Set" tab
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.
Thanks for the help
