I’ve noticed this (very annoying) behavior: select column1*(24/100) wrong from (values(100));
Removing the parentheses yields the correct result: select column1*24/100 correct from (values(100)); This obviously behaves like integer math is used and (24/100) gets truncated to zero. If I add a dot to either number (e.g., 24. or 100.) I get the correct result. But, with named fields, it’s not as easy as adding a dot: select column1*(column2/column3) wrong from (values(100,24,100)); select column1*column2/column3 correct from (values(100,24,100)); So, to get correct answer I have to use a cast for either field? select column1*(cast(column2 as float)/column3) correct from (values(100,24,100)); In this example removing the parentheses is a simple solution. But if the expression was column1*(1+column2/column3) a cast is the only way? (Hope not!) Anyway, if all this happens to be so by design, is there at least some way to default to float math rather than integer?
