[dba-SQLServer]Connection String

David,

Sorry, but I must correct you.  Integer arithmetic ALWAYS truncates!  It
has been so since the first binary computer.  To round you must, repeat
MUST, use floating-point numbers.

Thanks Francisco.

Another thing I found out today was that if you divide an integer by an 
integer SQL will round the result to an integer.  Using the ROUND() 
function doesn't help if you want decimal places.  My solution was to
CAST 
one of the number as a float.  Another of Microsoft's features?
