    Representing those of us who are still trying to catch up when it comes to T-SQL, I would like to say that this is a frustrating excercise, which is no fault of Sunil Chandurkar.

    I wish SQL would be a little more strict than "smart" (look what I can pull out of a string and add :-)). I agree with several others in this conversation that would look negatively on depending on this type of implicit conversion.

    I do appreciate the information! Thanks.

    But, then again, the implicit conversion features let us create little gems like this:

    Select 3*3e3+3e3/3ee3e,3e3e3e3e

    Try to parse that manually before you copy/paste to SSMS.
