I wanted to validate an SQL query that involved a modest algebraic solution
against the same solution in excel and noticed that my answers were off by
about 0.5%. As far as I can tell my algebra is fine in both cases. Can anyone
tell me if I should expect rounding error or differences in precision between
a solution in excel and one using a SQL query? I'm not a programmer, so don't
have a full grasp of how solutions are arrived at in such a query. My
equations use exponents and square roots to solve a simple geometric
projection problem.
Thanks
