Hi all
I have an integer column with currency information in cents.
How do I select x/100 correctly ? currently the result truncates the cents.

"SELECT mycolumn/100 from mytable"
Please advise

This is a SQL question in the ASP forum!
SELECT cast(mycolumn/100 as decimal(18,2)) from mytable

Look up "cast" and "datatypes" in Books Online

Since sql is an essential part of web programming, it is ok to ask simple
sql questions here. When you need an expert-level advice, you have more
chances of getting it on the special group.
