Hi everybody,
The statement SELECT 5/8 is returning 0. How do I get the right answer? I tried SELECT CAST( 5/8 AS Numeric(10,3) ) which didn't work. Please help me.

SELECT CAST( 5 AS Numeric(10,3) ) /8

select 1.000 * 5/8 will also work.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
