TM1：错误：“|”附近的语法不正确 （将数值插入 sql 查询）

Question

I am trying to insert a numeric variable 'Value ' into a decimal database column.

I used this query syntax:

SQL= 'INSERT INTO DB_Archive VALUES ( '''| dim1|''' , '''| dim2|''', '|Value|') ';

But it seems it's not correct way to declare a numeric column, which gave me this error:

Error : Incorrect syntax Near '|'

I tried then converting the numeric value to a string value like this:

zAmoun= NumberToString(Value);
SQL= 'INSERT INTO DB_Archive VALUES ( '''| dim1|''' , '''| dim2|''', '''|StringToNumber(zAmount)|''') ';

But it was a bad move to do, since it worked in the compilation and didnt return no error but in the execution it return this error here since the table column is a decimal:

Error : Error Converting data Type varchar to numeric

I would love if someone could help me know what is the correct syntax to declare a numeric column in sql query, since the first declaration is not working.

I would appreciate it very much.

Maybe this Information can help you:

At the start: Please don't start variable names with upper cases. Make something like vSQL or sqlRequest.

You try to build a SQL-Command with a string. The hole string cannot include nummeric. TM1 is realy strict with it. Every number must be converted to String.

vsValue = NumberToString(value);
vsSQL= 'INSERT INTO DB_Archive VALUES ( '''| dim1|''' , '''| dim2|''', '''|vsValue|''') ';

Maybe your SQL-Target need the value in a specific form. For example with a "," as decimal seperator. Therefore you can us the command NumberToStringEx() .

vsValue = NumberToStringEx(value, '0.0####', ',', '.');
vsSQL= 'INSERT INTO DB_Archive VALUES ( '''| dim1|''' , '''| dim2|''', '''|vsValue|''') ';

here you find additional information

With quotation marks you will give your sql-target the information, if the value is numeric or string. So maybe it's necessary to delete the quotation marks:

vsValue = NumberToString(value);
vsSQL= 'INSERT INTO DB_Archive VALUES ( '''| dim1|''' , '''| dim2|''', '|vsValue|') ';
