Arithmatic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric in sql server

Question

I am trying to insert data from one table to another table, but we are facing issue it gives us error of

Numeric value out of range: 8115 [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server][SQL Server ]Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric. (SQLExecDirect[8115] at /builddir /build/BUILD/php-5.6.30/ext/pdo_odbc/odbc_driver.c:247)

We are using below query to insert data

`INSERT INTO template_150  ([ClientName],[LOB],[PharmacyTotalClaimAmt])
 SELECT PharmacyID,ProductIDNDC
,  REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(CONVERT(decimal(10,2),CONVERT(varchar(10),CONVERT(varchar(10),LEFT
(SUBSTRING(REPLACE(TRIM(IngredCost),'\',''), PATINDEX('%[0-9.-]%',REPLACE(TRIM(IngredCost),'\','')),
 8000),PATINDEX('%[^0-9.-]%', SUBSTRING(REPLACE(TRIM(IngredCost),'\',''), PATINDEX('%[0-9.-]%',REPLACE
(TRIM(IngredCost),'\','')), 8000) + 'X') -1)) )
),'"',''),'$',''),',',''),'-','') AS [TRIM(IngredCost)]  
FROM file_5979bd211a3a9`

I found some solution to use lenth WHERE LEN(IngredCost )<=13 function in where condition, but if we will use this function then we will not able to insert all the records for the table file_5979bd211a3a9 , we want to save all the records of table file_5979bd211a3a9 , can anyone please give us solutio, how can we resolve this error ?

Answer 1

You're converting a 10 character number to a DECIMAL(10,2) . That means up to 8 digits in the whole portion and 2 in the fractional. If there are more than 8 numbers in the whole portion of the number, you can't convert that to a DECIMAL(10,2) .

For example:

 select convert(decimal(10,2),'1000000000')

Try DECIMAL(12,2) or use a VARCHAR(8) .
