Money Data Type Precision - SQL Server (SSMS)
In sql server management studio, data type- money, when I enter an amount with a decimal it automatically adds on zeros to fill up to the hundredths. How can I determine the amount of spaces after the decimal? The number of zeroes behind the dot is called the precision of a datatype. The money data type has a fixed precision : with accuracy to a ten-thousandth of a monetary unit. That's five digits behind the dot. If you'd like a different precision, use the decimal datatype. Some examples: select cast(0.123456789 as money) , cast(0.123456789 as decimal(5,3)) , cast(0.123456789 as decimal(5,1)
