They are not the same thing.
Consider these queries:
SELECT *
FROM Orders
LEFT JOIN OrderLines ON OrderLines.OrderID=Orders.ID
WHERE Orders.ID = 12345
and
SELECT *
FROM Orders
LEFT JOIN OrderLines ON OrderLines.OrderID=Orders.ID
AND Orders.ID = 12345
The first will return an order and its lines, if any, for order number 12345
. The second will return all orders, but only order 12345
will have any lines associated with it.
With an INNER JOIN
, the clauses are effectively equivalent. However, just because they are functionally the same, in that they produce the same results, does not mean the two kinds of clauses have the same semantic meaning.
Never ever should you use money. It is not precise, and it is pure garbage; always use decimal/numeric.
Run this to see what I mean:
DECLARE
@mon1 MONEY,
@mon2 MONEY,
@mon3 MONEY,
@mon4 MONEY,
@num1 DECIMAL(19,4),
@num2 DECIMAL(19,4),
@num3 DECIMAL(19,4),
@num4 DECIMAL(19,4)
SELECT
@mon1 = 100, @mon2 = 339, @mon3 = 10000,
@num1 = 100, @num2 = 339, @num3 = 10000
SET @mon4 = @mon1/@mon2*@mon3
SET @num4 = @num1/@num2*@num3
SELECT @mon4 AS moneyresult,
@num4 AS numericresult
Output: 2949.0000 2949.8525
To some of the people who said that you don't divide money by money:
Here is one of my queries to calculate correlations, and changing that to money gives wrong results.
select t1.index_id,t2.index_id,(avg(t1.monret*t2.monret)
-(avg(t1.monret) * avg(t2.monret)))
/((sqrt(avg(square(t1.monret)) - square(avg(t1.monret))))
*(sqrt(avg(square(t2.monret)) - square(avg(t2.monret))))),
current_timestamp,@MaxDate
from Table1 t1 join Table1 t2 on t1.Date = traDate
group by t1.index_id,t2.index_id
Best Answer
No, money should still work.
