VBA to T-SQL via TDD: Step 4

This is Part 4 of my series on converting a VBA function to a SQL Server scalar function using test driven development. As a proof of concept, I will be re-implementing the VBA Round function (which uses bankers rounding) as a SQL Server scalar function.

After building a "test table population query" in Step 2 and creating the test table structure itself in Step 3, populating the SQL Server test table is a simple matter of copy and paste.

Execute the test table population query
Press Ctrl + A to select all the rows in the query
Press Ctrl + C to copy the rows to the clipboard
Create a New Query window in your development database in SSMS
Press Ctrl + V to paste the rows from the clipboard (delete or comment out the header row)
Press F5 to execute the T-SQL statements

Step 1. The test table population query

Step 2 & 3. Select all ([Ctrl] + [A]) then copy ([Ctrl] + [C])

Step 4. Create a New Query

Step 5. Paste ([Ctrl] + [V])

Step 6. Execute the INSERT INTO statements ([F5])
