Hi Guys,
We are looking for advice on what to do here; we started out with our db holding ex VAT pricing now. Now the problem is the money type can only hold a few decimal places so when we are converting prices to incl vat it can't actually output the correct pricing and it comes our very ugly.
Unfortunately there is no bigmoney data type so we are in a bit of an awkward position
Any idea's?
Hi,
I have a Price column which has 'money' as the data type.
Then I populated some data into the table. I enter '1.00' in the Price column, then I used the following code to get the data:
Label2.Text = "$" + dataSet1.Tables["products"].Rows[0]["price"].toString();
However, the price is displayed as "$1.0000". But I believe it should display "$1.00". So how can I get rid off the two zeros at the end.
regards
Why does the money data type have 4 decimal places eg £134.3453 or $12.3636
I would have expected it to only have 2.
hi
When we use money data type and which type data
thanks

I choose a price field as a money data type, but I cannot change thescale of this.the default scale is 4 (it dimmed).how can I change to 2? I only need 2 scale such as $23.33 instead of$23.3344
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm using the data type "money" in my SQL database and want to convert what's in txtPrice_textBox to the "money" format. I'm currently using the following code:
' objectCym.price = Convert.ToInt16(txtPrice_textBox.Text) '
Will this work? Is there any reason I should stay away from the "Money" data type?
Thanks,
David
Why does SQL add 4 zeros at the end of a money data type? I have to format my strings once they are retrieved because of this. I am not sure if I did something wrong, but shouldn't it only have 2 trailing zero's?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, How would I convert(or format) money data type, so the output will be like: 123,456.78 or 12,345.67
(In other words how would I insert a comma which separates hundred from thousand...)
Thanks a lot,

I'm using the money data type in a field - but (obvious to me) I need the data to contain two decimal places NO MATTER WHAT - even if they are zeros!
I keep putting in "5.20" and I get "5.2".
How do I keep this from happening? I need both decimal places! I thought about using a text field - but that seems to be wasteful and I would have to do a type cast to do numeric computations.
There has to be a way to do this - this IS the purpose of the data type, isn't it??
Thanks for any help!!

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 am trying to do some amount calculations.
The amount was declared as nvarchar data type.
I did the following coding. I want to get 2 places right of decimal
but am getting only one place right of decimal.
SELECT
(CAST(EQ_TotQuoteAmnt AS Float(7,2)) -
CAST(EQ_InsFee AS Float(7,2)) - 150) as Inforce_Premium
FROM Quoted
Can someone please help me with the syntax?
Thanks in advance.

How to display money type data properly, with commas every 3 digits?
I've tried :
CONVERT (money, ProjectCost, 1) AS ProjectCost
but it gives me the type as 1234.56 no commas in it?
can anyone help me with that?
thanks!
what is the recommended data type i should use if i want to have a price field that can include "TBA". i can't use smallmoney i suppose, so i should use VARCHAR then validate the String with Visual Studio?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Should data type money allow nulls? Are there valid arguments both pro and con?
Yes, there is the age-old question regarding how one might interpret a NULL found in any column - does it mean the amount is not known or that the amount is zero (in the case of a numeric type)? You get the drift...
Other than that, though - are there any practical considerations an old data hound ought to be aware of?
Hi all!
I want to create a table. One of the columns should be in the data type MONEY with two digits on the right side of the decimal point.
How is that possible?

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?
hi
i am retriving value from sql server database like
select cast(round(12345674.8658,2,0) as decimal(20,2))
output is 12345674.87
but i want to get like 12,345,674.87
any function is there?
This may be an easy question but I've been reading for about a halfhour and experimenting without results.I simply want the results of my query to display a specific field thatis typed "money" using + and -The program that consumes the data expects + on positive numbers and -on negative. I was hoping to do it in the view instead of processingthe results with the VB application that interogates the DB.Thanks

Here's what I want to do: I've got a table with orders, each order hasa specific discountrate (an int, which represents a percentage). Eachorder consists of 1 or more items in another table, each item in thattable has a price. Now I want to return the full price and thediscounted price (or the discounted amount).Here's a relevant excerpt of the code:------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE TABLE #tmp (OrderID Integer,Price money,Discount money)DECLARE @Discount moneySELECT @Discount =(((SELECT SUM(OrderDetails.Price * OrderDetailsAmount)FROM OrderDetailsWHERE OrderID = @orderID AND CustomerID = @CustomerID)+(SELECT ISNULL(SUM(OrderDetailsSupplement.Price *OrderDetailsAmount),0)FROM OrderDetailsSupplementINNER JOIN OrderDetails ONOrderDetailsSupplement.OrderDetailsID = OrderDetails.OrderDetailsIDWHERE OrderID = @orderID AND CustomerID = @CustomerID))*( @DiscountRate / 100 ))SELECT CustomerFull,SUM(Price) As Price,SUM(Discount) As Discount,SUM (Products) As Products,COUNT(@orderID) As OrdersFROM #tmpGROUP BY CustomerFullORDER BY CustomerFull------------------------------------------------------------------The problem: instead of getting a low number (like 0.57 for instance),I get a 0. Right now I've "solved" this by replacing "( @DiscountRate /100 )" with just "@DiscountRate" and then dividing by 100 in my aspcode, but I'd really like to know what I'm doing wrong.--BVH
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a table in SQL 2005 with a field that has a value of type 'money'. When values are added, the field has 4 decimal places. Is there a way that I can make it only have 2 decimal places right away? Thanks!!!
View 1 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.

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.
We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".

What significant difference is there between the two data types when we are indeed dealing with monetary values (other than being able to set the precision and scale)?
Is there a performance gain from one over the other? Are there administrative-related concerns that should force someone to choose one over the other? Are there any concerns of the MONEY data type being sunsetted by Microsoft anytime in the near future?
Can someone please help me out here?
[EDIT]
I was referring to "fields" in the first sentence when it should've been "data types".
