Problem Note 65574: Decimal values are rounded after they are inserted into a new Databricks table via SAS/ACCESS® Interface to JDBC
 |  |  |  |  |
When numeric decimal values are inserted into a Databricks table by using SAS/ACCESS Interface to JDBC, the inserted values might be rounded.
This issue occurs when any of the following are true:
- You use a DATA step to create and load a new Databricks table.
- You use either the SQL procedure or APPEND procedure to create and load a new Databricks table, and the numeric column has a non-date/time/datetime format.
The workaround is to create an empty table, ensuring that all non-date/time/datetime formats are removed from numeric columns. Then insert the data by using PROC SQL or PROC APPEND; an example of this workaround is shown below:
data sampleData ;
/* Create some sample data. */
UnFormatted_Number = 123.45;
Formatted_Number = 123.45;
format Formatted_Number 8.2;
put UnFormatted_Number= Formatted_Number=;
run;
libname libref JDBC connection-options libname-options;
/* Delete the Databricks table that you want to load. */
proc delete data=libref.test;
run;
/* Create an empty Databricks table, removing any formats. */
data libref.test;
set sampleData;
/* List all numeric columns that have non-date/time/datetime formats. */
format Formatted_Number;
stop;
run;
/* Create some sample data. */
UnFormatted_Number = 123.45;
Formatted_Number = 123.45;
format Formatted_Number 8.2;
put UnFormatted_Number= Formatted_Number=;
run;
libname libref JDBC connection-options libname-options;
/* Delete the Databricks table that you want to load. */
proc delete data=libref.test;
run;
/* Create an empty Databricks table, removing any formats. */
data libref.test;
set sampleData;
/* List all numeric columns that have non-date/time/datetime formats. */
format Formatted_Number;
stop;
run;
/* Use PROC APPEND or PROC SQL to load the table. */
proc append base=libref.test data=sampleData;
run;
proc sql;
insert into libref.test select * from sampleData;
quit;

A DATA step and the SQL procedure can round numeric values when you create and load data into a new Databricks table via SAS/ACCESS® Interface to JDBC.
