I've been getting errors recently when using pysqlite. I've declared
the table columns as real numbers to 2 decimal places (I'm dealing
with money), but when doing division on two numbers that happen to
have no decimal fractions, the results through pysqlite are coming
through as integers. The funny thing is that when looking at the
database using SQLite Manager or SQLite Pro the results there are
displayed correctly. As a temporary fix I've had to multiply one of
the numbers with 1.0 which has fixed it but I wonder if there is
something else I'm doing wrong. 4 4268

You're using old-style division. Put the line "from __future__ import
division" in your script.

Hi,
But the calculations are being done within a sql statement within
SQLite?
([actual_price]-[recommended_pri ce])/[recommended_pri ce]

MySQL doesn't have any MONEY type. All it has is INTEGER, REAL, TEXT,
BLOB and NULL types.

Perhaps using SQLite's column affinity would help? Let the type be named
"real" instead of anything fancy:
>>from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite3 con = sqlite3.connect (":memory:") con.execute(" create table foo(x number(10,2))")
<pysqlite2.dbap i2.Cursor object at 0xb7d6faa0>
>>con.executema ny("insert into foo(x) values (?)", [(3,), (3.0,)])
<pysqlite2.dbap i2.Cursor object at 0xb7d830e0>
>>print con.execute("se lect x from foo").fetchall( )
[(3,), (3,)] # <------------------------ !!!
>>con.execute(" create table bar(x real)")
<pysqlite2.dbap i2.Cursor object at 0xb7d83110>
>>con.executema ny("insert into bar(x) values (?)", [(3,), (3.0,)])
<pysqlite2.dbap i2.Cursor object at 0xb7d83170>
>>print con.execute("se lect x from bar").fetchall( )
[(3.0,), (3.0,)] # <------------------------ !!!
Do you see the difference?

Hi,
Sorry. I don't get this.
I am using numbers to 2dp (it doesn't really matter that it's money or
not) and importing them into SQLite where all the views are held. One
of the columns is doing the following calculations:
([actual_price]-[recommended_pri ce]) AS [difference]
([actual_price]-[recommended_pri ce])/[recommended_pri ce] AS
[difference_prop ortion]
When using a SQLite gui like SQLiteManager I can see the imported data
is stored correctly and the column has been calculated correctly. So
I'll have something like:
[actual_price],[recommended_pri ce],[difference],
[difference_prop ortion]
199.99,299.99,-100.00,-0.343344445
100.00,120.00,-100.00,-0.16666667
However, when calling the view from pysqlite I get the following
results
199.99,299.99,-100.00,-0.34
100.00,120.00,-100.00,0
So the row where both numbers have no decimal fraction are changing to
an integer. I looks like there is something going on in between sqlite
and pysqlite. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I have a table which I want to update by dividing one field into
another. The update runs with no errors, but the results come out as
only a positive integer number.
The datatype for the result field is float.
The datatype for the other fields are int.
I have tried testing by dividing 7 by 10000, which should give me
0.0007. The result in the database is 0.

It is know issue that due to the fact that computer has to store the real
numbers in limited set of bytes, thus causing a minor imprecision from the
decimal value that likely was stored. I don't know, how dotnet framework
stored doubles, but it's certain, that if I store, say, 1.234567 in some
real variable, it is stored in memory like something close to
