Custom LOG Function LOGN works like LOG(x,y)

>>Script Language and Platform: SQL Server 2000
Custom Mathematical LOG function to determine LOG of a given value for any base. LOGN function can be used in cases where you want exactly the opppsite of POWER function.

POWER(X,Y) = Z
Y=ZLOGX

Unfortunately there is no custom function for finding the LOG of any base in SQL server 2000.

Note: Natural LOG is 2.07
