[dba-SQLServer] decimal datatype is rounding

How did you determine that the value stored is 2?  By running SELECT?
Is it possible that your Regional settings is doing it to you?  Also
check in Tools/Options/Connection if "Use Regional settings..." is
checked.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] decimal datatype is rounding

Hi All,

I have a table with a column of data type decimal with precision set to
10
and scale set to 2.
I add records to this table using an ADO 2.7 command object.
In the command object I create a parameter with type adDecimal and set
the
Precision and NumericScale properties accordingly.
In the stored procedure I have a variable to receive the value with type
decimal.

I assign the value of 1.5 to the command object, execute the command
object
and the value that gets stored in the table is 2.

Anyone know why this rounding is taking place?

For a temporary work around, I change the data type to Money in the
table
and adCurrency in the command object.
For some reason this seems to work fine.

Thanks!
JR
