Updating number accuracy

    Hi there,

    I have a basic question:

    I have many tables with numbers in them having 8 digit after the decimal point accuracy.  I want to update the data so that they have only 2 digits after the decimal point accuracy.  The data I wish to deal with is in a certain column.  How can I do that? 

    Thanks a lot.

    You can just change the table design using Enterprise Manager. Look up the decimal datatype in Books Online.

    If you don't want to change the table design, then you'll need to use the CAST function wherever you use the data. EG: CAST(<yourcolumn> as decimal(<your precision>,2))
