Help Needed Converting C Float Value To DBNUMERIC ...

Jul 20, 2005

Hello all,

I need to return back to TSQL two numeric values from an
Extended Stored Procedure developed in C. As result my C
dll program produces two float values, the TSQL side expects
to have exactly: numeric(10, 5) and numeric.

Given that the structure to fill-up is DBNUMERIC defined
as:

typedef struct dbnumeric // Numeric (and decimal)
{
BYTE precision; // Precision
BYTE scale; // Scale
BYTE sign; // 1 = Positive, 0 = Negative
BYTE val[MAXNUMERICLEN]; // Padded little endian value
} DBNUMERIC;

I do not have any clue how to convert the float C datatype
to DBNUMERIC, specifically how to convert the float to an
array of bytes "BYTE val[MAXNUMERICLEN]".

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Giovanni

Converting SQLMoney To C# Float ?

Dec 23, 2006

I'm using c# 2.0.
I have a datareader that reads an invoice line item from a table in my SQL Server database. The UnitPrice field is a Money field in SQL server. At the same time I have an invoice class in my application that has a UnitPrice property which is a float.
How do I convert the SQLMoney to a float using my datareader?
Right now I have:
cm.CommandText = "SELECT ItemID, Quantity, UnitPrice, Discount FROM tblInvoiceLineItems";
using (SqlDataReader dr = cm.ExecuteReader())
{
while (dr.Read())
{
LineItem li = new LineItem();
li.UnitPrice = (float)(double)dr.GetFloat(3);  // cast error here.
lineItems.Add(li);
}
}

Transact SQL :: Error Converting Data Type Nvarchar To Float

Sep 24, 2015

In the following code I want to compare 2 values: AccessVal and SQLVal. The values are stored as nvarchars, so I'm isolating the numeric values in a subquery. Notice I'm only selecting 1 row. The commented line, where I compare the values, is throwing the error.

SELECT QA_AutoID, AccessVal, SQLVal
,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) as AccessFloat
,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) as SQLFloat
FROM QA
WHERE QA_AutoID in (
SELECT TOP 1 QA_AutoID
FROM QA
WHERE ISNUMERIC(SQLVal) = 1 AND ISNUMERIC(AccessVal) = 1
)
--AND ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) <> ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0)
ORDER BY ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) DESC
,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) DESC

Here is the output with the comparison commented out...

Here's what I get with the comparison line activated:

I've tried converting to numeric, int and bigint instead of float. I've tried CAST instead of CONVERT. Nothing works.

Crazy SQL Statement Help Needed... Converting The Rows To Columns (sort Of)...

This one isn't so simple.I have a list of training modules, training complete dates and a list of employees in separate tables. I'll give an good example in a second. The problem I am having is that I need to generate a select statement that will generate a kind of 'spreadsheet' that will list the employees in the rows, and columns containing the results in the fields (the training module may or may not have been completed, and thus may or may not be in the result box.

Convert A Binary Float To FLOAT Datatype

Apr 9, 2007

I can't take full credit for this. I want to share this with Jeff Moden who did the important research for this calculation here.

All I did was just adapting some old code according to the mantissa finding Jeff made and optimized it a little


Some test codeDECLARE@SomeNumber FLOAT,
@BinFloat BINARY(8)

SELECT@SomeNumber = -185.6125,
@BinFloat = CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))

SELECT@SomeNumber AS [Original],
CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8)) AS [Binary],
dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Converted],
@SomeNumber - dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float(CAST(@SomeNumber AS BINARY(8))) AS [Error]

And here is the code for the function.CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnBinaryFloat2Float
(
@BinaryFloat BINARY(8)
)
RETURNS FLOAT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE@Part TINYINT,
@PartValue TINYINT,
@Mask TINYINT,
@Mantissa FLOAT,
@Exponent SMALLINT,
@Bit TINYINT,
@Ln2 FLOAT,
@BigValue BIGINT

SELECT@Part = 1,
@Mantissa = 1,
@Bit = 1,
@Ln2 = LOG(2),
@BigValue = CAST(@BinaryFloat AS BIGINT),
@Exponent = (@BigValue & 0x7ff0000000000000) / EXP(52 * @Ln2)

WHILE @Part <= 8
BEGIN
SELECT@Part = @Part + 1,
@PartValue = CAST(SUBSTRING(@BinaryFloat, @Part, 1) AS TINYINT),
@Mask =CASE WHEN @Part = 2 THEN 8 ELSE 128 END

WHILE @Mask > 0
BEGIN
IF @PartValue & @Mask > 0
SET @Mantissa = @Mantissa + EXP(-@Bit * @Ln2)

SELECT@Bit = @Bit + 1,
@Mask = @Mask / 2
END
END

RETURNSIGN(@BigValue) * @Mantissa * POWER(CAST(2 AS FLOAT), @Exponent - 1023)
END

Converting A Data Type Double To A Type Float Using A Data Adapter &&amp; SSCE 3.5

Feb 13, 2008

Hi,

I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:


this.court0TableAdapter1.Update(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);

this.mycourtsDataSet1.AcceptChanges();

this.court0TableAdapter1.Fill(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);


This did not happen with VS2005/CE3.01.

I have tried changing all references to decimal (or money in CE3.5) without luck.

I'm beginning to think that string may be the way to go!!!!!!!

Can someone shed some light on my problem.

Thanks,

Later:

It's necessary to update the datatable adapter as the 3.01 and 3.5 CE are not compatible.

Float Precision

Sep 5, 2002

Hello everyone,

I am sure this is a newbie question as I am new to Microsoft SQL server but any help is greatly appreciated. I am populating a SQL database from an AS400. The decimal numbers from the AS400 are coming accross with extra decimals. (ie. 63.02 is coming accross as 63.0200001)

Is there a way to limit the number of decimals in a float or real field - or a SQL command I can put in a script to truncate each field to 2 decimal places after they are populated.

Thanks,
Randy

Float Vs. Decimal

Jun 29, 1998

We are having problems with rounding errors on large monetary calculations in sql server 6.5

The calculations include float fields (for volumes and unit of measure conversions in product movements). I was wondering if the float being "approximate" could be the problem.

IF it is, why would I want to store things as a float instead of a dec(28,14)?
Is it faster to compute numbers stored as approximate binaries? Will we see a big performance hit if we switch some of the table`s field`s to decimals?

Thanks in advance.

Convert Int To Float

Jun 21, 2007

Hi,

why does converting integer to float take so long? Its a column with about 5 Million rows.
I want to avoid cast(inumber1 as float) / cast(inmuber2 as float), thats why converting them. Queries should be a bit faster after that.. hope so :)
Thanks a lot

Can Anyone Help With With Datatype Float

Aug 30, 2007

I have some engineering data in my table and the db designer is representing it with a float datatype. Here's what is happening. If I query on a record based on id num and get a row and put it in text boxes in my Windows App, min_riv_hd_dia (the float) is 0.026<14 zeroes>2. If I try to query and get that same record again but this time based on id num and min_riv_hd_dia equal to 0.026<14 zeroes>2, I get no row found. If I just do a select on this row based on id number, sql server displays it as 0.026. But if I query with 0.026 as my value, still the row is not found. If I query min_riv_hd_dia > 0.026, the record is found.

So my question is, how can I tell the exact value that must be input in my search criteria in order to find this row?

Thank you so much if you can help!

Float In VB-Skript

Dec 29, 2003

Hi there
I have two Databases
in both databases are fields with float - no null
If I am transfering data from one database to the other everything works well unless there is a comma in the field ( 0,99 or 123,456 )

"SQLAString = "Insert into InventurDaten (Artikelnummer,Hauptartikelnummer,Auspraegung,Arti kelbezeichnung,Artikeltext1,EDVEingang ,EDVAusgang,InventurmengeEDV) values ('" & ArtNr & "','" & ArtNrT & "','" & AP & "','" & ArtBez & "','" & ArtText & "'," & EDVEingang & "," & EDVAusgang & "," & ArtMenge & ")"
"
where EDVEingang and EDVAusgang are defined as float, no null

Then the programm stops with the following message:
Within the INSERT-Procedure there are less columns then there are Contents in the Value-Clause.

I have to finish the programm until tomorrow morning and don't know what the problem is.

If anybody has an idea, please let me know.

Pricision Of Float

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,Just wonder whyPRINT CAST(0.0573542567654 AS float)will give the rounded reult0.0573543rather than the original number?"float" should be 'big' enough to hold numbers that have even moredecimal places. How come it round up at the 7 decimal place?since I need to do some calculations with accumulated values. Therounded figure will cause significant error after a number of opertions.Are there any way to work around it?thanks*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Float And Numeric

Nov 20, 2007

I am keep getting an arithmetic overflow converting float to type numeric when running a script that looks something like this.

insert into table1
(
column1
)
select
column2
from source server.

column1 is a numeric (28,8) and column2 is float.
there are about 2000000 records in column2, and I know that when I tried just copying the top 1000000 wasn't a problem.

does anyone know what could be causing this problem???

*it's not because the data in column2 is out of range.

thank you
