Syntax

expression + expression

Examples

A. Using the addition operator to calculate the total number of hours away from work for each employee.

This example finds the total number of hours away from work for each employee by adding the number of hours taken for vacation and the number of hours taken as sick leave.

-- Uses AdventureWorks  
  
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, VacationHours, SickLeaveHours,   
    VacationHours + SickLeaveHours AS 'Total Hours Away'  
FROM HumanResources.Employee AS e  
    JOIN Person.Person AS p ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID  
ORDER BY 'Total Hours Away' ASC;  
GO

B. Using the addition operator to add days to date and time values

This example adds a number of days to a datetime date.

SET NOCOUNT ON  
DECLARE @startdate DATETIME, @adddays INT;  
SET @startdate = 'January 10, 1900 12:00 AM';  
SET @adddays = 5;  
SET NOCOUNT OFF;  
SELECT @startdate + 1.25 AS 'Start Date',   
   @startdate + @adddays AS 'Add Date';

Here's the result set.

Start Date                  Add Date
--------------------------- ---------------------------
1900-01-11 06:00:00.000     1900-01-15 00:00:00.000
 
(1 row(s) affected)

C. Adding character and integer data types

The following example adds an int data type value and a character value by converting the character data type to int. If a character that is not valid exists in the char string, the Transact-SQL returns an error.

DECLARE @addvalue INT;  
SET @addvalue = 15;  
SELECT '125127' + @addvalue;

Here's the result set.

-----------------------
125142
 
(1 row(s) affected)

D: Using the addition operator to calculate the total number of hours away from work for each employee

The following example finds the total number of hours away from work for each employee by adding the number of hours taken for vacation and the number of hours taken as sick leave and sorts the results in ascending order.

-- Uses AdventureWorks  
  
SELECT FirstName, LastName, VacationHours, SickLeaveHours,   
    VacationHours + SickLeaveHours AS TotalHoursAway  
FROM DimEmployee  
ORDER BY TotalHoursAway ASC;
