Question

A column height is integer type in my SQL Server table. I want to do a division and have the result as decimal in my query:

Select (height/10) as HeightDecimal

How do I cast so that the HeightDecimal is no longer integer? Thanks.

Answer 1

SELECT height/10.0 AS HeightDecimal FROM dbo.whatever;

If you want a specific precision scale, then say so:

SELECT CONVERT(DECIMAL(16,4), height/10.0) AS HeightDecimal
  FROM dbo.whatever;
