I have a table with two decimal(18,0) fields.
I am inserting into this table, two decimal values. For example, 1.11
When I select from the table (with no casts), I get 1.
I’m losing all percision and I have no clue why.
insert into TEST values (153, ‘test’, ‘test’, 1, 1, 1.11, 1.11)
Select * from TEST and they are 1 and 1 instead of 1.11,1.11
Any Ideas?
When you declare a field as decimal(18,0), you are saying that you want 0 digits of precision after the decimal point. You’re going to want to define those columns as decimal(18,2) (or however many digits of precision you desire) in order to maintain a value of 1.11.
Refer to the MSDN page on decimal and numeric types for the grisly details.
