How to convert integer to decimal in SQL Server query?

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) a         


        

Answer 1

You can either cast Height as a decimal:

select cast(@height as decimal(10, 5))/10 as heightdecimal

or you place a decimal point in your value you are dividing by:

declare @height int
set @height = 1023

select @height/10.0 as heightdecimal
