Now DECIMAL(18,0), or you could equivalently write just DECIMAL, is still a kind of integer type, because that default scale of 0 means "no digits to the right of the decimal point". So a cast to it might in different circumstances work well for rounding to integers - the opposite of what we are trying to accomplish.
It means that it can accomodate the value value before decimal upto 8 digits and 2 after decimal. To validate, put the value in the following query. DECLARE vtest number(10,2); BEGIN SELECT 10.008 INTO vtest FROM dual; dbms_output.put_line(vtest); END;
I have a decimal column in a table defined as decimal(8,3). I would like to include this column in a Select statement, convert it to a Varchar and only display two decimal places. I can't seem to find the right combination of options to do this because everything I try still produces three decimal places.
SELECT CONVERT(DECIMAL,12345)/100 or. SELECT CAST(12345 AS DECIMAL)/100 (cast is the SQL standard, so if you ever want to apply this to other databases, it would be the preferred method.) Alternately, you can just add a decimal point to the divisor, as SQL server will return the more precise data type when doing arithmetic on heterogeneous types:
@Ram The question didn't specify the sql server engine - which is why i highlighted the round v cast on its own. The convert to numeric doesn't do rounding in all engines so if the calculated number was 10.809 you would get 10.80 rather than the 10.81 the question required. –
I want to convert the decimal number 3562.45 to 356245, either as an int or a varchar. I am using cast(3562.45 as int), but it only returns 3562.
select TRY_PARSE (premium as decimal(12,2)) as prem into myTable2 from myTable1 where TRY_PARSE (premium as decimal(12,2)) IS NOT NULL or like following using CTE;WITH CTE AS ( select TRY_PARSE (premium as decimal(12,2)) as prem from myTable1 ) SELECT * into myTable2 FROM CTE where prem IS NOT NULL You can read more about TRY_PARSE here
You could alternatively use this as the .00 replacement string : SUBSTRING( CONVERT(VarChar,@s-FLOOR(@s)+0.00005) ,2,1+4) which will give you the .1235 - I find that more obvious with regard to the actual rounding amount applied, although perhaps not quite so directly clear about the +4 number of decimal places specified. And of course this ...
I know this thread is very old but for those not using SQL Server 2012 or above or cannot use the FORMAT function for any reason then the following works. Also, a lot of the solutions did not work if the number was less than 1 (e.g. 0.01230000). Please note that the following does not work with negative numbers.
I have table which has a column of float data type in SQL Server I want to return my float datatype column value with 2 decimal places. for ex: if i insert 12.3 ,it should return 12.30 if i insert 12 ,it should return 12.00
