money data-type query

I have a database table with a field of datatype "money".
I need to have this populated with rows that only have data up to a maximum
of two decimal places (i.e. pounds and pence).
However, I have come across some rows that have up to 3 significant figures
after the decimal points (i.e. 1/10th of a penny).
I need to identify all the rows that have more than two significant numbers
after the decimal place.
I thought:
SELECT * FROM myTable where
CAST(myField AS VARCHAR(20)) LIKE '%.[0-9][0-9][1-9]%'
would do the trick.
It doesn't.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Thanks

Try this:
SELECT x
FROM tbl
WHERE x<>ROUND(x,2,1);
Be very careful when using MONEY for monetary amounts. In my opinion the
rounding errors caused by MONEY make DECIMAL a much better choice for
currency values in every case. See the example below. Do you have a good
excuse for using MONEY?
DECLARE
@.mon1 MONEY,
@.mon2 MONEY,
@.mon3 MONEY,
@.mon4 MONEY,
@.num1 DECIMAL(19,4),
@.num2 DECIMAL(19,4),
@.num3 DECIMAL(19,4),
@.num4 DECIMAL(19,4) ;
SELECT
@.mon1 = 100, @.mon2 = 339, @.mon3 = 10000,
@.num1 = 100, @.num2 = 339, @.num3 = 10000 ;
SET @.mon4 = @.mon1/@.mon2*@.mon3 ;
SET @.num4 = @.num1/@.num2*@.num3 ;
SELECT @.mon4 AS money_result,
@.num4 AS decimal_result ;
Result:
money_result decimal_result
-- --
2949.0000 2949.8525

--|||The money data type stores data upto 4 decimal places. If you only require 2
decimal places you could consider storing the data as decimal or numeric
instead

Money data type

Hi,
I have a Price column which has 'money' as the data type.

Then I populated some data into the table. I enter '1.00' in the Price column, then I used the following code to get the data:

Label2.Text = "$" + dataSet1.Tables["products"].Rows[0]["price"].toString();

However, the price is displayed as "$1.0000". But I believe it should display "$1.00". So how can I get rid off the two zeros at the end.

regardsUse string.format("{0:c}", yourvalue)

This will format it in the currency used by your web server.

If you want more control, use "$" & string.format("{0:#,##0.00}", yourvalue)|||Hi PDraigh

I think u may have goven me VB code, actually I was using C#..

string.format("{0:#,##0.00}", yourvalue)

In the above code, what does 'string' represent|||I assume it would still work. 'string' is just the System.String. It's not a variable or object I declared. "{0:#,##0.00}" is the string formatting instruction and 'yourvalue' is just whatever value you want to format using the instruction. Try it, I think it would work in C#, but I don't use C#, so not sure|||yep

String and Format should be capital, such as String.Format("{0:#,##0.00}", price);

However, I still get 2.0000 istead of 2.00|||try,
Label2.Text = String.Format("{0:$##,##0.00}",dataSet1.Tables["products"].Rows[0]["price"]);

or

Label2.Text = String.Format("{0:c}",dataSet1.Tables["products"].Rows[0]["price"]);
