How to calculate the fifth root
Martin1Apr 2 2010 — edited Apr 2 2010Hi,
i'm searching for a sql function to calculate the fifth root of a given negative number.
By the way the sql function POWER doesn't work - see the following from the sql reference documentation:
The base and the exponent can be any numbers, but if the base is negative, then the exponent must be an integer.
In MS Excel i would do it this way: -.25^(1/5)
Has somebody an idea for a workaround?
Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Martin
