title: INSERT INTO Table1(dat) VALUES(20/7);
body: <pre><code>INSERT INTO Table1(dat) VALUES(20/7);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above question/subject, returns <code>2.857</code> in the field when I run the SQL command. The field data type is <code>varchar(5)</code>. I also used <code>char(5)</code> but that also did not work!</p>
  
  <p>However, I don't want it to perform any calculation while inserting the value into the table1.
  I want it to insert the text <code>'20/7'</code> as it is inputted.
  Can you describe what to do?
  Thanks.</p>
