HI..
I add a row as shown below in the table but when I select it from query analyzer, ý see @loss=83.29999999999999997 but ý want to see
@loss=83.5 why?

DECLARE @LOSS float
select @loss=83.3
INSERT TABLE VALUES(@LOSS..)


2.
DECLARE @LOSS FLOAT
SELECT @LOSS=14.456898
SELECT ROUND(@LOSS,2)

I SEE 14.450000 BU I WANT TO SEE 14.45

thats not how float works.

Try:

DECLARE @LOSS decimal(8,1)
select @loss=83.3
Select @LOSS

DECLARE @LOSS decimal(8,2)
SELECT @LOSS=14.456898
SELECT @LOSS
SELECT ROUND(@LOSS,2)

SELECT @LOSS=14.456898
SELECT @LOSS
ý see @loss=14.456898 I ADD A ROW IN TABLE HOW SHOULD BE THE @LOSS VARIABLY..

OR

SELECT @LOSS=14.456898
SELECT @LOSS
I SEE @LOSS=14.45 HOW SHOULD BE THE @LOOS VARIABLY

HI,
I've noticed the same kind of problem in our database:

-The original data in TableA is 85.3
-I've extracted it from a query in Query Analyser and put it into TableB
-If I read it (into TableB) from Enterprise Manager I see 85.3 but if I read it from within Query Analyser (still TableB) I see 85.3000000001 ?!?!?!?!

The only thing I've noticed is the format of the field. In TableA the field is NUMERIC and in TableB it's FLOAT. Can this be the reason of the "scrap" added in the field? If so, how can I avoid it without changing the format of the field?
