I am using openrowset to import a csv file into SQL Server. One of the columns in the csv file contains numbers in scientific notation (1.08E+05) and the column in the table it is being inserted By default it is importing the value as 1 and ignoring the .08E+05. I have tried using cast() and convert() to convert the value directly when the query is executed as well as setting up the datatype in the table as a character string and importing it as such. All of these methods have the same behavior where the .08E+05 is ignored. Is there a way to have the value imported as 108000 instead of 1
