I have a column called TotalArea and its format is numeric (12,2).
I want it to display the numbers with a thousand separator so when I
select TotalArea from table
to show me a format like 1,234.00.
How could I do that? Thanks!
SELECT FORMAT(12345,'#,0.00');
SELECT FORMAT(TotalArea,'#,0.00') from table;
Reference:

Try this way:
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, CONVERT(MONEY, TotalArea), 1), '.00', '')
FROM table
or
SELECT CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR, CAST(123456 AS MONEY), 1) AS VARCHAR)
FROM table
Formatting numbers for display is something that should be done in the display layer, and not within the database. So, in whatever application this data ends up being used, you should format it there. Management Studio, unfortunately, does not offer much control in this regard.
I know the question is for sql server 2008 but if you have sql server 2012+, you can use format like so:
SELECT FORMAT(12345.5634, 2);

I couldn't find any answer to my question and I hope you can help me out. I've been asked to create a revenue report, however, I'm dealing with an old poorly optimized database. It sounds like a simple thing but I cannot find any solution to the below issue.
Basically, some prices are being shown in the following format:
22400
What I need is to show these values in this format format: 22,40
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
You can use format function :
select format(prices, '0,000')
from table t;
Try
convert(decimal(38, 2), convert(decimal, 22400) / 1000);
to convert it to a decimal(38, 2). Possibly lower the precision (38) if you don't need that much.
First you have to convert this price(ex: 22400) from one datatype to 'money' datatype using CAST function.
and then CONVERT money to character

Syntax :
CONVERT(nvarchar, CAST(price AS money), 1)
I am trying to query a column of type (int) into a string of format (000). For example: If the column value was 1 then the output of the query should be 001
Depends on which database engine you use.
In SQL Server 2012 and higher:
SELECT FORMAT(7, 'D3')
The result is this string:
007
For older versions of SQL Server, see the accepted answer by shree.pat18
For MySQL, look here: Adding a leading zero to some values in column
For PostgreSQL, look here: Padding zeros to the left in postgreSQL
Try this:
select right('000' + convert(varchar(3), intcolumn), 3) from yourtable
Note that the output is of type varchar. If you will need this output as a number somewhere else, I would suggest doing the formatting in your UI code and keeping it as a number in the query.
I am having some number in DB table column, i have written stored procedure to format that number. The requirement is i need to display the number with comma and decimal points. I have tried below, but only comma is coming.. any solutions,
PARSENAME(CONVERT(VARCHAR,CAST(TotalAmount/1000 as MONEY),1),2)
Actual result: 1,134
Expected result: 1,134.0
I want to do this in SQL server itself.
You can accomplish currency formatting as:
SELECT CONVERT(varchar, CAST(5555 AS money), 1)
but i would suggest doing such formatting on the front end, not on the data side
Suppose I want a particular format of date of birth, like (mm-dd-yyyy).
How can I do that in SQL?
Although some people have listed the proper syntax for this in multiple RDBMSs (you really need to indicate which one you're using), I'd like to point out that formatting your data is typically something that should be done by the front end of your application. That's not to say that there's never a reason to do formatting in SQL, but usually it's best to just pass it as a date/time to the front end and let the front end handle how it will represent it to the user. Hopefully, you understand the difference between a date/time and a string.
Use CONVERT function if it is SQL SERVER
Select CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),Birthdate,110) from YourTable
Assuming your RDBMS is SQL Server, you can do the following:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), [DateOfBirth], 110)
There's more information about date formatting here.
SQL Server
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 110)
SELECT convert(varchar, DateOfBirth, 110) FROM YourTable

How to round with no trailing zeros in SQL Server 2005?
select round(100.5555, 2)
...yields 100.5500. How to get rid of the zeros?
Try this
select CAST(round(100.5555, 2) AS DECIMAL(8,2))
You could re-cast it as your original datatype, e.g.
SELECT CAST(ROUND(100.5555, 2) AS FLOAT)
However, this sounds like display logic and therefore, I suspect you are better off doing this within your UI rather than your DB.
declare #d decimal(8,2) can help you.
