Chino,
SHud eb a problem with the precision value of your column. Try increasing the same. The following example shud help:
--case 1
declare @tab table (id decimal(3,2),name varchar(100))
--precision=1 scale=2
insert @tab select 51.987 , 'jk'
select * from @tab
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 8, Line 2
Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric.
--case 2
declare @tab table (id decimal(4,2),name varchar(100))
--precision=2 scale=2
insert @tab select 51.987 , 'jk'
select * from @tab
Works Fine
Thanks,
Jay
