Transact SQL :: Unexpected Rounding With MONEY When Casting To VARCHAR Or Printing
Dec 18, 2008
if I 'print' a MONEY value, or cast a MONEY variable to VARCHAR, it automatically rounds it to two decimal places. Maybe that's a built-in convenience, but I'd like to make it not do that.My workaround right now is to first cast my MONEY variabled to DECIMAL(30,4), and then cast the result to VARCHAR, but I'd like to avoid that step if possible.Consider the following
query:DECLARE @UnitCost MONEY SET @UnitCost = .0167 SELECT @UnitCost,
CAST(@UnitCost AS VARCHAR(30)),
CAST(CAST(@UnitCost AS DECIMAL(30, 4)) AS VARCHAR(30)) -
- Results in: 0.0167, 0.02, 0.0167

If I have an SQL query which returns an aggregate of several decimal fieldslike so:(sum(COALESCE(myDecimal1, 0)+sum(COALESCE(myDecimal2, 0)+sum(COALESCE(myDecimal3, 0)) as MyTotalI get an rounded integer in MyTotal.However, if I do the following:sum(COALESCE(myDecimal1, 0)+COALESCE(myDecimal1, 0)+COALESCE(myDecimal1, 0)) as MyTotalI get a (proper) decimal value.Does anyone know why the first case returns an Integer?- Don

I would expect this query:
select
case when cast(DT as int) = cast(cast(DT as float) as int)
then 'Consistent'
else 'Inconsistent'
end
from (select cast('27 Jan 2008 13:00' as datetime) as DT) X
to always return 'Consistent'. My expectation is not satisfied; the question is, is it unfounded?

So I have been asked by our sustainability person to create report from our printing data that actually shows the number of pieces of paper used. This is easy enough for single-sided printing, but when printing in duplex the software does not take into account that 3 printing pages actually equates to 2 pieces of paper. I know this sounds simple, but say I have a print job record that looks like this:
Submitted printed total_pages duplex
8/10/2015 8/10/2015 42 1
This is a print jobs that if done correctly is actually 21 pages( duplex printing). If the job is say total_pages =5 I cant just divide by 2 because its actually using 3 pieces of paper ( yes they are wanting this data don't ask why). How can I adjust some sql to accurately depict 5 pages, front and back, as 3 pieces of paper?

Hi.
Current development setup: Visual Studio 2005 (C# language), SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I am at this point changing some of my application. It stores a lot of information for times of trains. I decode a file which is text based and my times are stored in varchar(4) columns with the format "HHmm".
I am now at a stage where I need to add values to these times and perform a search based on two time values (a minimum time and maximum time).
I really need to be able to add another varchar(4) value to the times stored in my database (also varchar(4) - may look at this again in future). I have absolutely no interest in storing seconds, modifying the database to include the time colon, nor am I interested in the date portion of a time string, only the 4 digits representing the hours and minutes.
Can this be done easily in SQL server? For example:
varchar(4) of 0445 + varchar(4) of 0027 should result in the time 0512.
Similarly a varchar(4) of 2358 + varchar(4) of 0015 should result in the time 0013.
This has to be very quick to execute.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

My current Query takes the DATE value stored in P.CreatedDate and makes it VARCHAR, then stores it in the table. I need to format this to return YYYYMMDD. How would I go about this?
Current Code:
Code:
CAST(P.CreatedDate AS VARCHAR) AS DateEntered,

I know that if I have an nvarchar column I can use an equality like = N'supersqlstring' so it doesn't implicit cast as a varchar, like if I were to do ='supersqlstring'. And then I'll be a big SQL hero and all my stored procedures will run before a millisecond can whisper.
But if I'm comparing an nvarchar column to a varchar column, is it better to cast the varchar 'up' to an nvarchar or cast the nvarchar 'down' to a varchar?
For instance:
cast(a.varchar as nvarchar(100)) = an.nvarchar
or
cast(an.nvarchar as varchar(100)) = a.varchar
Leaving aside non-matching, like (at least I don't think) that SQL considers the varchar n to be equal to the nvarchar ń, what's the best way to handle this?
Pretend for a moment that each column contains a mixed letter and number ID with no accented or wiggly-squiggly Unicode characters; it's just designs clashing.
Is there a performance hitch doing it one way or another? Should I use COLLATE? Should one of the columns be altered?

hi all
I have a problem with SQL rounding my decimals up when I pull them from a temp table that has the column set as VARCHAR. What is happening is I am pulling the info from a flat file but each column has "" around each field so I must make the temp table columns all VARCHAR so I may pull the info from the file properly. So after the info has been extracted, I run an update statement on the temp table to remove all quotes. Once this is done, the revised info is inserted into a staging table and any field that is a represented as a decimal is labled as such in the staging table.
What I am running into is when the info is inserted into the staging table, the decimals are rounded up to whole values. The column has been checked to verify that it is indeed a decimal. I even have a CAST statement in the insert hoping to combat the rounding issue, but it is not helping.
So what reason(s) would my decimals be rounding up?
Thanks alot

I want to print in an error message a money value but have to convert it to a varchar first. I do not have any clue how to do this. Could someone help me out?
SELECT @iError = @@error, @iRowCount = @@rowcount
IF(@iError <> 0 OR @iRowCount <> 1)
BEGIN
CONVERT(@dValue, @cValue)
set @cError = 'Error attempting to insert new record. Product : ' + @cProduct + ' Sub-account : ' + @cSubAccount + ' Cost : $' + @cValue
RAISERROR(@cError, 16, 1)
END
@cValue is a varchar(20)
@dValue is money
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!

Biz talk server executes every query twice, first with FMT only to get metadata.If metadata changed, it will produce error.Now, i have query like:
SELECT col1, col2, col3 INTO #tmp FROM dbo.myTable
How SQL decide the type of column in #tmp? Does it create column of the same type as it is in dbo.myTable or its decision is based on result?For example, col1 is varchar(20), but col1 in #tmp will be varchar(200) or even nVarChar.Col2 is INT, but result is for example low number(like, 1,2,3,) - is it possible that col2 in #temp table will be smallint or tinyint even if col2 in myTable is INT.If that is true one way to overcome that will be to explicitly CAST all columns to proper data type. Is there any performance impact of casting: CAST(col1 as VARCHAR(20)) if col1 is already varchar(20) in dbo.myTable?

Is there any way to convert a bind variable, which is a list of integer or string values, to nested table in MS SQL Server. I am looking for something like
CAST in Oracle, which converts a varray type column into a nested table. Do we have something like this in SQL Server.
in Oracle:
SELECT CAST(s.addresses AS address_book_t)
FROM states s
WHERE s.state_id = 111;
I have read about Table valued Parameter, but I am looking for another solution.

I have a special need in a view for a money column to look like money and still be a money datatype. So I need it to look like $100.00 (prefered) or 100.00(can make work).
If I convert like this '$' + CONVERT (NVARCHAR(12), dbo.tblpayments.Amount, 1) it is now a nvarchar and will not work for me.
How can I cast so it is still money? by default the entries look like 100.0000.
They must remain a money datatype.

I have deployed a report that is configured for landscape printing. It does print in landscape, however, only the first seven columns appear on the first page and the other five columns appear on the next page. Is there a method, like in print preview setup in MS Excel, where we can scale down the print (like to 80%) so all columns appear on each page?
Thanks!

I have a varchar(512) data type on my INVOICE_DATE field and it is in the following format DD/MM/YYYY.
I need it to be in MM/DD/YYYY and have tried with no luck.
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(512), INVOICE_DATE, 101) AS [MM/DD/YY]
FROM F0AInvoices_Tags
This does not swap the numbers as I would have hoped for reporting purposes.

I created a procedure called 'Longtextprocedure'. The length of this procedure is 650000 characters long. When I was giving the following query - select len(routine_definition) from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.routines where ROUTINE_NAME = 'Longextprocedure'; Length is showing as '4000' characters long. It is not showing the remaining part of the procedure, it is showing upto the 4000 characters of procedure code. But when you execute the procedure(exec 'Longtextprocedure') it is showing the exact result.
My question is i want to read all the 650000 characters long procedure code{select routine_definition from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.routines where ROUTINE_NAME = 'Longextprocedure'} to a variable which is varchar(max).
When i am trying to read the whole procedure code it is taking 4000 characters of data into the variable not the whole. Is there a way to read the huge procedure code into the variable?
Code:-
CREATE PROCEDURE FAKEPROCEDURE @procName VARCHAR(50) --@procName is 'Longtextprocedure'
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @routineDefinition VARCHAR(MAX);
DECLARE @replaceToChar VARCHAR(MAX);
[Code] ....
When i am trying to execute the line EXEC(@dupliacteRouteDef), it is showing like there is no procedure defined. This is due to '@dupliacteRouteDef' variable is having 4000 characters of data not the whole data. Is there a way to read whole procedure data into the variable irrespective of the length of the string?

In t-sql 2012, data is obtained from [Inputtb].lockCombo1 where it is defined as varchar(8). The data is copied to test.dbo.LockCombination.combo where the field is defined as varchar(8). This copies all the data except the last right column.
Basically a value that is '12-34-56' intially from [Inputtb].lockCombo1 ends on in st.dbo.LockCombination.combo looking like
'12-34-5'. In this case the last value of '6' is missing. I have tried to use various string functions to obtain the entire value that should be '12-34-56' and ends up looking like '12-34-5'.
Here are 2 sqls that I have used and I get the same results:
1.
UPDATE LKC
SET LKC.combo = lockCombo1
FROM [Inputtb] A
JOIN test.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type and A.schoolnumber =
@SchoolNumber
JOIN test.dbo.Locker LKR ON SCH.schoolID = LKR.schoolID AND A.lockerNumber =
[Code] ....
I can not change the definition of the columns since these are production settings.
Thus can you should me modified sql that will end up with the entire value of 8 characters in the [Inputtb].lockCombo1 column?
