Examples

The following example uses the division arithmetic operator to calculate the sales target per month for the sales people at Adventure Works Cycles.

-- Uses AdventureWorks  
  
SELECT s.BusinessEntityID AS SalesPersonID, FirstName, LastName, SalesQuota, SalesQuota/12 AS 'Sales Target Per Month'  
FROM Sales.SalesPerson AS s   
JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e   
    ON s.BusinessEntityID = e.BusinessEntityID
