# Data operators

## Introduction

In Starcounter SQL, the most common operators on data are implemented.

## Arithmetic Operators

The standard arithmetic operators, plus (+ x), minus (- x), addition (x + y), subtraction (x - y), multiplication (x \* y) and division (x / y), are supported for all numerical types:

```sql
SELECT (e.Salary * 12) / 365 FROM Employee e
```

{% hint style="info" %}
For the expected datatypes of an arithmetic operation, see [Datatypes](/2.3.2/guides/database/data-types.md).
{% endhint %}

## String Concatenation

String concatenation (x || y) is supported. See example below.

```sql
SELECT e.FirstName || ' ' || e.LastName FROM Employee e
```
