Data Type Help How do I convert SQL Numeric/Decimal to SQL BigInt?

21 New Member
I am reading in a SQL data type of Numeric and trying to write it out to another SQL table where the field is defined as BigInt. I am presetly putting the data into a Dim indata as String. I can see the data there but I get an error when I try to put it into the SQL field of BigInt. Is there a conversion function or what data type to I need to store it in within my VB program?

If the CLng doesn't work, then please tell us what error you are getting. Perhaps the number is too large, or BigInt doesn't like decimal points.

In Interbase and Firebird, NUMERIC is implemented as 64-bit integer. This limits the range to NUMERIC(18, *) but for many uses that's adequate. And moreover it's fast and efficient. Is there a way in PostgreSQL to do something similar, i.e. I want to: - use 64-bit ints, not string bits or arbitrary precision which is dubbed as "much slower than ints" in the documentation; - use decimals, like NUMERIC(18,4);

Hello All! I'm looking for a description of the needs of space for a certain data-type. How much space does e.g. a NUMERIC(1,0)- field take? (??? Bytes?) Is there a listing in the DB2-online-documentation? I couldn't find any? I'm sorry to bother you folks! Bye!

Hello NG, for overflow reasons on numerical accumulation of an int column during SELECTion i have to change the data type of a column from "int" to "bigint". However that doesn't apply to the HOST based DB2, the customer's administrator told me there is no "bigint" data type. So which data type would you propose as an alternative to "bigint" on host

I have an unknown numeric Type object passed into a function. I want to run a conversion on a string to convert the string to that Type object and return an object of that type.

Hi All, I hope this is the correct mailing list for this question. But neither postgresql.org nor google could help me out on this subject.

I'm writing a generic database layer that should support a fixed number of generic numeric types on a number of...

Hello, I am somewhat lost in the implicit/expicit possible/impossible type casting in C#... I need to write a class, which among other things, must have wat to read a numeric value type, and internally convert it so that it could be saved in database as real number (float). I plan to provide property(set) interface for reading the value.

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
