Hello again...
can someone tell me how to work around this error:
String or binary data would be truncated.
I am doing this:
update table1
set [Cost1] =
convert(varchar (13), cost2) *
convert(decimal (12,4), qty) *
convert(decimal (11,4), orders)
Cost1's data type is VARCHAR
cost2's data type is MONEY
qty's data type is FLOAT
orders data type is VARCHAR
It's giving me a headache!
thanks for your help!

Recognized Expert Top Contributor Cost1's data type is VARCHAR - is not enough information it should be a number which is length of this column.
It looks like this column is not big enough to hold large number make it big like Cost1 varchar(100)
Try to run following statement and see what length you are getting in return and what you have actually declared for Cost1 column -
Select max(len(convert(decimal (13.2), cost2) * convert(decimal (12,4), qty) *convert(decimal (11,4), orders)))
-
From table1
Good Luck.
Thank you!
this worked:
convert(varchar (20), convert(decimal (13,4), cost1))

I have inherited a table where date information was saved from PHP as a VARCHAR.
(Sigh.) This means that the so-called date fields look like this :
August 1, 2005, 9:09 am EDT
October 13, 2004, 12:28 pm EDT
This makes them essentially useless for sorting and logical evaluation.
Understandbly, the MySQL date functions don't seem able to convert the field to
a "real" date field. This yields a blank (or maybe null) "realdate" :

Hello there,
I am using a 3rd party library and a function which requires a float
value in one of its methods. My data is in a string format and i tried
using Convert.ToDouble and Convert.ToSingle, but didn't work either way.
The value of string is "-57475.4531". The help in VS .NET 2003 tells me
that these convert methods will return double and single precision float
point values respectively but i needed to also cast the return to the...

Hello Folks ,
General C data types question , more geared up towards embedded folks .
I have a positive float quantity with a fractional part (one decimal
point) which occupies
4 bytes . Now i want to stuff it in to a two byte quantity like
unsigned short and then
reconvert it back to float .
We can use any method like type casting or directly doing low level

Recently in our code, I ran into a situation where were stuffing a
float inside a double. The precision was extended automatically
because of that. To make a long story short, this caused problems
elsewhere in another part of the system where that figure was used for
some calculation and some eventual truncation led to the system going
haywire. So my question is, given this code:
int main()
{
float f = 59.89F;

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
