This is a really silly question, but it's a really silly situation. I am completely baffled as to why this is happening.

I have 2 tables. Both tables have a number of fields of the type decimal (9). When I do inserts, one of the tables inserts ok, but for some reason the other one rounds the numbers I am inserting to integers. This makes no sense to me at all, I've checked that the table is correct 1000 times (or close to that anyway).

Does anyone have any ideas? I feel like I'm going mad.

cheers,
Alex

Is it DECIMAL(9,0) versus DECIMAL(9,x) where x is a number between 1 and 8?

Ah yes, that would be a problem with scale ... turns out I'm not mad, just not observant
