when I run below query I got Error of Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numericdeclare @a numeric(16,4)
set @a=99362600999900.0000
the 99362600999900 value before numeric is 14 and variable that i declared is of 16 length. Then why this error is coming ? When I set Length 18 then error removed.
You might want to visit BOL and look at the numeric datatype. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187746.aspx
You are trying to shove 18 digits into a numeric that can only hold 16. The precision is the maximum number of digits, not just the integer portion.
