Answer 1

Here’s a simple and straightforward answer to your question, (I think). I am using the TSQL2012 sample database and I am returning only even or odd rows based on “employeeID” in the “HR.Employees” table.

USE TSQL2012;
GO

Return only Even numbers of the employeeID:

SELECT *
FROM HR.Employees
WHERE (empid % 2) = 0;
GO

Return only Odd numbers of the employeeID:

SELECT *
FROM HR.Employees
WHERE (empid % 2) = 1;
GO

Hopefully, that’s the answer you were looking for.
