Converting money Data

Converting money Data

When converting to money from integer data types, units are assumed to be in monetary units. For example, the integer value of 4 is converted to the money equivalent of 4 monetary units.

This example converts smallmoney and money values to varchar and decimal data types, respectively.

GO
DECLARE @mymoney_sm SMALLMONEY
SET  @mymoney_sm = 3148.29
SELECT  CAST(@mymoney_sm AS VARCHAR) AS "SM_MONEY VARCHAR"
GO
DECLARE @mymoney    MONEY
SET  @mymoney    = 3148.29
SELECT  CAST(@mymoney AS DECIMAL)    AS "MONEY DECIMAL"
GO
