SSMS float and decimal presentation

Question

I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding output format in SSMS.

Tablea:

• fielda = float
• fieldb = decimal(18,6)

SQL:

select
  sum(cast(fielda as decimal(18,6))) a,
  sum(fieldb) b
from tablea

Result in Grid, text:

a               b
-4208.370000    -4208,37
-2945.830000    -2945,83
31547.610000    31547,61

So float = ',', decimal = '.'

Is this a regional setting(local), SSMS setting(app) or database?

The last does not seem to be the case, the result differs per location(pc). I asume that both float and decimal can be considered a 'number', so regional setting seems odd. And any any SSMS setting is not know to me.

Is there a way to fix this? And how to fix this(=same result)?

SSMS 10
PC Regional settings NL

Answer 1

Check Your regional setting in the Control panel. I think its the problem with that.
