You dont need to export and the functions is inside Mapinfo.
The only problem is, that you need more knowledge about Mapbasic - one
source is Jacques Paris, but it's would bee a great help if Mapinfo Corp.
had included this information in the normal help and reference material.
I have copyed a bit from the Mapbasic help file
The syntax is;
Exp(column) Returns the number e raised to a specified exponent
sqr(column) for square root
log(column) for natural log (ln in normal math)
+ Addition. Example: x = a + b
- Subtraction or negation. Example: x = a - b
* Multiplication. Example: x = a * b
/ Division. Example: x = a / b
\ Integer division (remainder is dropped). For example, the
expression: 10 \ 8 has a value of one.
Mod Remainder from integer division. For example, the
expression: 10 Mod 8 has a value of two.
^ Exponentiation. For example, the expression: 2 ^ 3 has a
value of eight.

Hi
I would like to perform some mathematics algebra like Square root, use PI,
Ln or log etc. It seems that MI doesn't have this capability. Is there any
suggestion to work with update column using mathematical operators without
export the table out of MI?
Thanks
