In an SQL Server database, I have to update some fields, the query is (, is the decimal separator) :
UPDATE MyTbable
SET
Field1 = CAST('111,11' AS DEC(18,4)),
Field2 = CAST('222,22' AS DEC(18,4)),
Field3 = CAST('333,33' AS DEC(18,4))
WHERE Id = '1'
I receive the error : Error converting data type varchar to numeric. I tried with the cast, same problem
Field1,Field2 and Field3 are numeric 38,2
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Take the commas out.
UPDATE MyTbable
SET
Field1 = CAST(REPLACE('111,11',',','.') AS DEC(18,4)),
Field2 = CAST(REPLACE('222,22',',','.') AS DEC(18,4)),
Field3 = CAST(REPLACE('333,33',',','.') AS DEC(18,4))
WHERE Id = '1'
Use . instead of ,
UPDATE MyTbable
SET
Field1 = CAST('111.11' AS DEC(18,4)),
Field2 = CAST('222.22' AS DEC(18,4)),
Field3 = CAST('333.33' AS DEC(18,4))
WHERE Id = '1'
If you want to select these values afterwards as string and with comma then do that:
select replace(cast(Field1 as varchar(30)), '.',','),
replace(cast(Field2 as varchar(30)), '.',','),
replace(cast(Field2 as varchar(30)), '.',','),
where Id = '1'
remove the commas in you query like :
UPDATE MyTbable
SET
Field1 = CAST('11111' AS DEC(18,4)),
Field2 = CAST('22222' AS DEC(18,4)),
Field3 = CAST('33333' AS DEC(18,4))
WHERE Id = '1'
or you can rmove the comma using replace:
replace('111,11',',','.')
