Problem 2

Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be:

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, …

By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence whose values do not exceed four million, find the sum of the even-valued terms.

Solution

–By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence\

–whose values do not exceed four million, find the

–sum of the even valued terms.

 

–this is a trivial query to write

select SUM(number) from Number

where number < 4000000

and isfibonacci = 1

and number % 2 = 0

 

Discussion

Once again, I have a large database of numbers with properties associated with them.  That makes this solution fairly uninteresting.
