Have a numeric column HRS Numeric(5,2)
Need to add error if the value after decimal point second digit is not 0
Example - 50.10 is acceptible
50.77 is not acceptable (Second digit should be Zero after decimal point)

;WITH cte_data AS (
    SELECT CAST(50.10 AS numeric(5, 2)) AS HRS
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 50.77
)
SELECT HRS
FROM cte_data
WHERE HRS LIKE '%.[0-9][^0]%' --<<--

You could test if the modulo .1 of HRS equals zero

;WITH cte_data AS (
    SELECT CAST(50.10 AS numeric(5, 2)) AS HRS
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 50.77
)
SELECT HRS
FROM cte_data
WHERE HRS%.1=0;

This is a strange requirement. I'm curious what the use case is.

To check the second digit after the decimal, try this:

sqlCopy code

IF (HRS * 100) % 10 <> 0 THEN

-- Add your error handling here

-- This means the second digit after the decimal is not zero

END IF;

This code multiplies the number by 100 and checks if the second digit after the decimal isn't zero. If it's not zero, an error can be handled as needed.

Nearly duplicate post with an incorrect improvement calculation removed.

Being in love with the terms "SQL Death by a Million Cuts" and "Milliseconds Matter", your method tests out at being 31% faster than the "LIKE" method previously used.

Thank you Jeff. 44.9% or 31%? Either way there's no implicit type conversion 🙂

Ken McKelvey's solution in the "Pivot with grouping intervals" topic is interesting. It cross join's a 2 row virtual table { (1), (-1) } and then (in a single start/end column) uses cross apply to make the 1 row the start date and the -1 row the end date. Then the query orders and aggregates across the start/end column. It's not so intuitive yet tho. My current method (as seen on SSC dozens of times) of dealing with overlapping timespans expands the intervals and looks for gaps using lead/lag. In my head I have a generic scenario that goes along with it. For Ken's method it's basically an unpivoting of the intervals

It's 31% savings. I did the original calculation "upside down" (I originally did Old/New-1 instead of the correct New/Old-1) . Here are the run results from the previous posted test code.

--===== Using the Modulo Method
 SQL Server Execution Times:
   CPU time = 2296 ms,  elapsed time = 2323 ms.

--===== Using the LIKE method
 SQL Server Execution Times:
   CPU time = 3375 ms,  elapsed time = 3367 ms.
