/ (Divide) (Transact-SQL)
SQL Server 2008
Divides one number by another (an arithmetic division operator).
Returns the data type of the argument with the higher precedence. For more information, see Data Type Precedence (Transact-SQL).
If an integer dividend is divided by an integer divisor, the result is an integer that has any fractional part of the result truncated.
The following example uses the division arithmetic operator to calculate the sales target per month for the sales people at Adventure Works Cycles.
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT SalesPersonID, FirstName, LastName, SalesQuota, SalesQuota/12 AS 'Sales Target Per Month'
FROM Sales.SalesPerson s
JOIN HumanResources.Employee e ON s.SalesPersonID = e.EmployeeID
JOIN Person.Contact c ON e.ContactID = c.ContactID;
