In our SQL Server database we have money values that are negative. But I need to convert all negative values to positive values. I am using the following code in Query Analyzer: --Convert all negative numbers to positive numbers. IF (SELECT field FROM table) < 0. UPDATE Table. SET field= (field * -1) But I get the following error: Subquery returned more than 1 value.
The Cause of the Peloponnesian War. The immediate cause of the Peloponnesian War was Corinthian opportunism. Thucydides is mistaken in his famous assertion that [w]hat made war inevitable was the growth of Athenian power and the fear which this caused in Sparta. Both powers had demonstrated a reluctance for head-on war over matters peripheral to their respective spheres of influence.
That said, the impact of the alliance system as a cause of war is often overstated. Alliances did not, as is often suggested, make war inevitable. The ultimate authority to mobilise forces or declare war still rested with national leaders.
