This is standard practice - try entering it as a CF_SQL_FLOAT or something.....or alter the datatypes length and precision.
-----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kessler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 July 2005 15:12 To: CF-Talk Subject: Entering a number becomes truncated howdy folks - hope your week is going fine. I have an Oracle database table with a column defined as such: gs_price NUMBER, and I enter it using: .... SET gs_price = <cfqueryparam value="#Form.gs_price#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_NUMERIC">, .... Unfortunately, when I enter 2.50, it truncates the number to 2.5. It's a price so I need to keep it 2.50. I suppose that I could just format it correctly after I get it but I was hoping to have it correct in the DB. any thoughts? -- Daniel Kessler Department of Public and Community Health University of Maryland Suite 2387 Valley Drive College Park, MD 20742-2611 301-405-2545 Phone www.phi.umd.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
