Question

I have a table that has a field, call it “score”.
Is it possible to write an SQL that takes the value in each “score” field, inputs the value in a formula, then the output from the formula is written to another field.
I have no experience is using formulas in SQL, and I do not know if its possible.
Any basic example, if its doable, would be helpful.

Answer 1

Pretty vague question, but here’s the general idea.

UPDATE MyTable SET FormulaOutput = HomeScore + AwayScore

This “formula” just adds the 2 scores together

I suppose you could also calculate the “spread” like this:

UPDATE MyTable SET Spread = MAX(HomeScore,AwayScore) – MIN(HomeScore,AwayScore)
