Using the following script...
create table a
( policy_id int not null,
amount smallmoney not null);
insert a values (1, 100.0);
select policy_id, sum(amount) sum_amount
into b
from a
group by policy_id;
Why is the datatype, of column sum_amount in table b, money rather than smallmoney?
What is the difference between money and smallmoney, and is there a way to format these?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCould someone explain to me what the best practices are for using these three data types? (i.e. when to use them). I thought this would be a simple answer to find, but after looking through books on line, and this forum, I have still not found the answer. Can anyone help?

Greetings,
How do you keep or round a money datatype to use only 2 decimal places? I have an instance where I am multiplying a money with a decimal datatype. The decimal has up to 8 decimal places. This is causing the money datattype to extend to 4 decimal places. This makes for problems when I am comparing 2 values.
ex.)
IF 14.88 >= 14.8821
99% of the time this does not happen, but is causing problems. Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance,
Roger
Do you usually use the money or smallmoney datatype for US dollars in a table, or do you use a decimal datatype, and if so which. Any opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of each?
If you use money or smallmoney, do you usually add a constraint to make sure the value is even to the penny (no $24.3487 type amounts)?

I am running Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
I had created a database named "Company-Data" that contains a table named "tblStock". This table contains several columns such as ID, Product, Quantity. The datatype for the column "Quantity" is INT.
I had entered 100 records to the table, now I want to change the datatype for the column "Quantity" from INT to MONEY.
How can we do this without loosing the data that has been entered the the column previously.
Please Help me ...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Hello all,
I have two values (1.0 and 0.50 that need to be saved into SQL Server 2005 as numeric values. My issue is that when I try to save 0.5 to the table it is rounded up to 1.0. I checked the Stored Procedures and it looks good there. I tried the datatypes decimal (2, 1) and small money but both cause the value to round. Can anyone help me save the value as 0.5 to the table?
Thanks in advance!

I am new to SQL 7, and am having trouble with the money and smallmoney data-types. When I pull data from these columns, it has four decimal places, and I need only two (four is screwing the perl code up). What do I do now?
All help much appreciated!
using SQL2000, table has a field defined as 'smallmoney'. This is being populated from a text file that has two digits after the decimal -> 56.50
I was trying to use cast and convert going in but no luck, as near as I can determine they only work on output.
So the question is : how can I get string data into smallmoney. Otherwise I have to redefined the field as a varchar or decimal
Comments?
Thanks

whenever i add values in my price column, it automatically put 4 decimal places. how will i limit to 2 decimal places of this smallmoney datatype?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am having a problem with a stored procedure and inserting money value into a smallmoney field. I have tried a few different lines but still get errors. This is a sample of the code below and the problem is with the MenuCost and converting a string to smallmoney. I am not having any luck with. Thanks inadvance for any advice.
Gary
Dim MenuName As String = txtName.Text
Dim MenuDescription As String = txtDescription.Text
Dim MenuCatId As String = DropDownList2.DataValueField
Dim MenuTypeId As String = DropDownList1.DataValueField
Dim MenuCost As String = txtCost.Text
Dim ConnectionString As String = fdfadsfdsfasdfsdfsdf
Dim CommandText3 As String = "ins_MenuItem"
Dim myConnection3 As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim myCommand3 As New SqlCommand(CommandText3, myConnection3)
Dim workParam As New SqlParameter()
myCommand3.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
With myCommand3.Parameters
.Add("@MenuName", SqlDbType.Varchar, 150, MenuName)
.Add("@MenuDescription", SqlDbType.Text, MenuDescription)
.Add("@MenuCatId", SqlDbType.Int, MenuCatId)
.Add("@MenuTypeId", SqlDbType.Int, MenuTypeId)
'.Add("@MenuCost", SqlDbType.SmallMoney,4,System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlMoney.Parse(MenuCost))
'.Add("@MenuCost", SqlDbType.SmallMoney,4, Convert(MenuCost AS Varchar))
'.Add("@Amount", SqlDbType.SmallMoney,4,System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlMoney.Parse(Amount))
'.Add("@MenuCost", SqlDbType.SmallMoney,4,System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlMoney.Parse(MenuCost))
End With
myConnection3.Open()
the placeholder approach works nicely with an insert statement and I've tried it with an update statement but keep getting an error. This is the current code:
Var1 = strArray(1)
Var2 = strArray(2)
Var3 = (strArray(3)
Cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE WBS.dbo.pludec38 SET PLU = ?, SET Dscrpt1 = ?, SET Price = ?"
Cmd.Parameters.Refresh
Cmd.Parameters(0) = Var1
Cmd.Parameters(1) = Var2
Cmd.Parameters(2) = Var3
Cmd.Execute
The error occurs at or near the refresh stmt. What am I doing that is causing this? And what is the difference between this and the insert. The insert uses the parameters block without choking.
Thanks

Hi
My ticket engine stores values in varchar. The sql db-field that
corresponds was created as smallmoney.
The below statement works for conversion of "leavedays" if the given
value is entered without any decimal places (E.G. 4)
As soon as a user enters a value that includes decimal places (E.G.
4.5) the conversion will not work. In this case the value 4.5 is
rounded to 5.
What do i have to do to convert the value as it is entered by the user?
Thanks in advance
t.
Statement:
INSERT INTO leavereq (mitarbeiter, startdate, enddate, leavedays,
remainingdays, approvedby, approvedon) SELECT {0} , convert(datetime,
{1}) , convert(datetime, {2}), convert(numeric, {3}), convert(numeric,
{4}),{5}, getdate()

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[leavereq] (

Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,

Hi,I'm having some trouble with my asp.net page and my sql database. What I'm trying to do is allow the user to upload an number to the database, the number is a money amount like 2.00 (£2.00) or 20.00(£20.00). I've tried using money and smallmoney datatypes but the numbers usually end up looking like this in the database...I enter 2.00 and in the database it looks like 2.00000, and even if I enter the information directly into the database I get the same results. I'm not going to be using big numbers with lots of decimal places like this 1000,000,0000. Can anyone help me? All I want is to know what to set the value to on my aspx page and what setting to set the field to in my database, I'd just like two pound to appear as 2.00. any help would be great.
I'm using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 if that helps.
Thanks.
