Question

I faced an interesting problem as… I have MSSQL (2005) table A which contains money type column; the thing is I want to insert value to this column with T-SQL procedure call from Java code but I am not pretty sure which Java type should I use to prepare statement for this column to insert value?
I couldn’t find any example so maybe you can share some helpful snippets.

Any useful comment is appreciated

Answer 1

OK…
things I could figure out is NOT TO USE money type directly just because the jdbc4 connector PrepareSatement does not contain setMoney etc so I want to share some walk around… Of course, it is not the final code way but still…

So

• A) Money class from here to get string as $00.00 with
  displayAsDollars method

• B) create mssql procedure with code like a

  create procedure aschema.test @a varchar(10)
  AS
  BEGIN
  
  DECLARE @b money    
  SET @b=CAST @a AS MONEY
  
  --todo: insert next...
  
  END;
  

• C) So the proc call is quite simple as

  Money m=new Money("12.99");
  
  callableStatement = (SQLServerCallableStatement) connection.prepareCall(
                          "{call "+
                          DATABASE_NAME+
                          "."+
                          SCHEMA_NAME+
                          ".test(?)}");
  callableStatement.setString(1,m.displayAsDollarsCorrectly());
  callableStatement.executeUpdate();
  

  //…

As I was saying it is not the final code decision but a temp conception which may be helpful as well if you really need to use money type in your old mssql database. At least it was a temp answer in my case 🙂

I hope it will be helpful for someone 🙂

Good luck
