Operators
Operators can be used when writing expressions.
- + (addition)
  The addition operator (+) returns the result of adding the two arguments together.
- - (subtraction)
  The subtraction operator (-) returns the result of subtracting the second argument from the first.
- * (multiplication)
  The multiplication operator (*) returns the result of multiplying the two arguments together.
- / (division)
  The division operator (/) returns the result of dividing the first argument by the second.
- ^ (exponentiation)
  The exponentiation operator (^) returns the result of raising the first argument to the power of the second.
- = (equality)
  The equality operator (=) returns a boolean value indicating whether the value of the first argument is equal to (one of the values of) the second.
- <> (inequality)
  The inequality operator (<>) returns a boolean value indicating whether the value of the first argument is not equal to (any of the values in) the second.
- < (less than)
  The less than operator (<) returns a boolean value indicating whether the value of the first argument is less than the value of the second.
- <= (less than or equal to)
  The less than or equal to operator (<=) returns a boolean value indicating whether the value of the first argument is less than or equal to the value of the second.
- > (greater than)
  The greater than operator (>) returns a boolean value indicating whether the value of the first argument is greater than the value of the second.
- >= (greater than or equal to)
  The greater than or equal to operator (>=) returns a boolean value indicating whether the value of the first argument is greater than or equal to the value of the second.
- & (logical and)
  The logical and operator (&) returns true if both arguments are true.
- | (logical or)
  The logical or operator (|) returns true if either argument is true.
- ~ (logical not)
  The logical not operator (~) returns the logical negation of the argument.
- ? (child elements)
  For XML values, the ? operator returns the XML fragment containing the child elements of @xml.

`*` (multiplication)

The multiplication operator (*) returns the result of multiplying the two arguments together.

Syntax

X*Y

Input

Argument	Type	Description
`X`	any numeric type	A scalar expression or column expression
`Y`	any numeric type	A scalar expression or column expression

Return Value

Returns a numerical value corresponding to the result of multiplying X and Y.

The data type of the result depends on the data type of the arguments.

If either X or Y are decimal, the result is decimal.
If one argument is big integer and the other is integer, the result is big integer.
If both X and Y are integers, the result is integer.

If X and/or Y is N/A, the result is N/A.
