I need to be able to multiply to columns in the same table then returning that value to a third column. I am having trouble thinking of how to pull two values then returning the product to another field. I know there is no direct way to multiply values so there has to be a workaround that I have not thought of. I know its got to be simple but I cant seem to grasp the idea of simple procedures over the difficult ones. If you could give me a source or a outline of what the code will look like that would be much appreciated.

CODE select col1, col2, col1col2 as col3 from table Is this what you're looking for or am I missing something? This post has been edited by baavgai*: 9 May, 2008 - 12:29 PM
