Hi!
I need to perform the following division:
declare @TotalFacts as int
declare @Totalis as int
declare @result as float
set @totalfacts = 2835
set @totalis = 4203
set @result = (@totalfacts / @totalis)
print @result
despite the @result is float, the result is 0, not 0.67.....any idea why ?
(i've tried the same with real)
Hello Sir
I am working on a Teacher Evaluation Project. In my database I store results from 1-5 as evaluation indicators. I apply AVG() function on the result column. The result of the query is in integer values (i.e) 4, 3 2 or 5. I want the resutl up to two decimal places. How can i write the query to get the result in decimal form?

Which one is good method to convert a following division into 2 decimal digits.
q1)
select cast(( cast( sum(population) as decimal) * 100) / sum(totalpopulation) as decimal(7,2)
from
table1 group by state
q2)
select cast(( sum(population) * cast( 100 as decimal)) / sum(totalpopulation) as decimal(7,2)
from
table1 group by state
q3)
select cast( (sum(population) * 100) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2)
from
table1 group by state
q4)
select cast(( cast(sum(population) as decimal) * 100) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2)
from
table1 group by state
q5)
select cast( (cast(sum(population) as decimal) * cast(100 as decimal) ) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2)
from
table1 group by state
q6)
select cast(( cast(sum(population) * 100 as decimal) ) / cast( sum(totalpopulation) as decimal) as decimal(7,2)

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
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)
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?

My database stores the decimals in Spanish format; "," (comma) as decimal separator.
I need to convert decimal nvarchar values (with comma as decimal separator) as a decimal or int.
Any Case using CAST or CONVERT, For Decimal or Int gives me the following error:
Error converting data type varchar to numeric
Any knows how to resolve.
Or any knows any parameter or similar, to indicate to the Cast or Convert, that the decimal separator is a comma instead a dot.
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,

I wanted to convert a dataset from vb.net (2.0) to an .XLS file, by MS Jet. My national standard is using decimal commas, not decimal points for numbers signing the beginning of decimal places.
But the MS Jet Engine uses decimal point,in default. Therefore, in the Excel file only string formatted cells can welcome this data, not number formatted.
How can I solve or get around this problem? (with jet if it possible)

I'd like to convert a Decimal value into a string so that the entireoriginal value and length remains intact but there is no decimal point.For example, the decimal value 6.250 is selected as 06250.Can this be done?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I am designing some reports for a German branch of my company and need to replace decimal point with a comma and the thousand comma seperator with a decimal point.
e.g.
‚¬1,500,123.00 to ‚¬1.500.123,00
Is there a property that I can change in the report designer to allow this to happen or is this something I need to convert in a Stored Proc.
Any help would be much appreciated

I need to store decimal values: decimal(20,15) in my SQL Server 2005 database.
I load data from flat file, convert it using Data Conversion Task to decimal(with scale: 15) and try to save it using OLE DB Destination.
It works fine for 4 digits after the decimal (like 1.1234), but always failes for more than 4 digits (1.12345).
Is the decimal limited to scale 4 ???
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I am having a file in which amount fields are given in a Packed Decimal format. Can anyone suggest me how I can read this data element from the file and convert it into SQL decimal datatype.
File is a fixed length. All the amount fields are given in Packed Decimal Format and rest of the fields are given in text format.
How can i identify and convert only those packed decimals using SQL/.Net.
Example : a row in a file that has some packed decimals
158203508540188236252EUR20BZK0030 Å“&

I have an Execute SQL Task that executes "select count(*) as Row_Count from xyztable" from an Oracle Server. I'm trying to assign the result to a variable. However when I try to execute I get an error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "RowCount": "Unsupported data type on result set binding Row_Count.".
Which data type should I use for the variable, RowCount? I've tried Int16, Int32, Int64.

As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC.
Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS
showID
showTitle
SHOWACCESS
showID
remoteID
VIDEOS
videoDate
showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle,
(SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID)
FROM shows, showAccess
WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID
AND showAccess.remoteID=21
ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate.
Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
thanks
I am trying to code a WHERE xxxx IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc') requirement but it the return values for the IN keyword changes according to another column, thus the need for a CASE function.
WHERE GROUP.GROUP_ID = 2 AND DEPT.DEPT_ID = 'D' AND WORK_TYPE_ID IN ( CASE DEPT_ID WHEN 'D' THEN 'A','B','C' <---- ERROR WHEN 'F' THEN 'C','D ELSE 'A','B','C','D' END )
I kept on getting errors, like
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 44Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'.
which leads me to assume that the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN statement does not allow mutiple values for result expression. Is there a way to get the SQL above to work or code the same logic in a different manner in just one simple SQL, and not a procedure or T-SQL script.
I'm using a subquery to return a delivery charge line as a column in the result set. I want to see this delivery charge only on the first line of the results for each contract. Code and results are below.
declare @start smalldatetime
declare @end smalldatetime
set @start = '2015-03-22 00:00' -- this should be a Sunday
set @end = '2015-03-28 23:59' -- this should be the following Saturday
select di.dticket [Contract], di.ddate [Delivered], di.item [Fleet_No], di.descr [Description], dd.min_chg [Delivery_Chg], dd.last_invc_date [Delivery_Invoiced],
[code]....
In this example, I only want to see the delivery charge of 125.00 for the first line of contract HU004377. For simplicity I have only shown the lines for 1 contract here, but there would normally be many different contracts with varying numbers of lines, and I only want to see the delivery charge once for each contract.

Anybody noticed that SQL Server rounds up if the value is half waybetween two rounded values, but C#'s Decimal.Round(Decimal,Int32)rounds to nearest even number?[color=blue]>From MSDN: "When d is exactly halfway between two rounded values, the[/color]result is the rounded value that has an even digit in the far rightdecimal position. For example, when rounded to two decimals, the value2.345 becomes 2.34 and the value 2.355 becomes 2.36. This process isknown as rounding toward even, or rounding to nearest."I perform the same calculation sometimes on the web server in C# andsometimes at the database in T-SQL, but want to get the same resultfrom both calculations. Could anybody offer any strategies for dealingwith this?Thanks ~ Matt

View 3 Replies View RelatedI imported some feilds from a text file. Most of which i set to varchar. However, I want one of the feilds to have 2 decimal places.
I tried changing it in the table design after the import and nothing changed.

Any suggestions on resolving this glitch ??
I just created a new table in my database. One of the fields in that table has a data type of money. Would my C# code be better off referring to this field as SqlMoney or as a decimal and why?

Hi guys,I've got a table with one of the columns 'ConversionRate' declared as decimal. The value for this column is defined as 1.45. In my vb file, I tried to retrieve the value using a SqlParameter as shown below:myConversionRate = Me.SqlCommand.Parameters.Add(Sql.StoredProcParameter.ConversionRate, SqlDbType.Decimal)myConversionRate.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output which will access the following query in my stored proc: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.Charge
@PConversionRate DECIMAL = 0 OUTPUT
AS
SELECT @PConversionRate = ConversionRate,
FROM TblCharge
For some reasons, the value returned is always 1 instead of 1.45. Anyone experienced this problem before and knows how to resolve it? Thanks in advance.

Hi all - am in a bit of a quandry over this one!My application is all up and running - it's an despact & accounts app - I've missed one thing though - the ability to deal with half pennies (or half cents for those of you over the pond ;))
All of my tables are set up as decimal (19,2) along with all the params in my stored procs (a lot!). Is there an easy way to change all of these in 1 swoop?
Thanks in advance,

Hi i have a insert stored procedure, which i need to insert a label.text which is 12.99
the problem i have is that it is inserting as 13.00 any ideas what i need to do??Dim Price As Decimal = CostLabel.Text then i am inserting with this param....
command113.Parameters.Add("@Cost", SqlDbType.Decimal).Value = Price
Im trying to insert a decimal into SQL 2000 using a stored procedure. I can successfully insert it using a direct T-SQL statement inside the code, but I cant insert it correctly when calling for a stored procedure.
For instance 12.5 will insert as 12.
Here is my SQL Parameter code:
[code]
MyCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Num", SqlDbType.Decimal))
MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Precision = 5
MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Scale = 2
MyCommand.Parameters("@Num").Value = Convert.ToDecimal(TextBox1.Text)
[/code]
I also declared @Num to be a decimal in my Stored Procedure.
As you can see I give the Parameter more than enough detail about the data type as well as convert the textbox value to a decimal, but it still rounds the value to an integer like data.
Again using a direct T-SQL statement inside the code works OK, but the stored procedure will not.
ANyone got any ideas why this is happening.
