  • RE: query to show even and odd order

    Yes, negative numbers appear in the "usual" order. In this case, that's even-odd, even-odd, pairs, just like the OP asked for. -10, -9, that's an even-odd pair. ...

    Me: My computer won't POST

    I wouldn't have bothered in that case.

  • RE: query to show even and odd order

    Just ran some tests. They have about the same execution time. Tried both with integers from -50,000 to +50,000, including 0. Both worked for the whole range.

    Why...

  • RE: Datetime Conversion

    Divide the time by 10,000, to get the hour. Compare that to datepart(hour, getdate()), and you can get whether it's in whatever range you're looking for.

  • RE: Designing my first database

    You could put the level range and level step in the join table.

    Another question. The written spec at the top of your question says 20 seconds, but the query at the bottom has 120 seconds. Which is it?
