Thread: Query Assistance
Is anyone able to tell me why in the last column of the returned result set, the value calculated is always 0?
QUERY:
SELECT products.productid,
products.cost,
products.srp,
CASE WHEN products.srp > 0 THEN (products.srp - products.cost) * 100 / products.srp ELSE 0 END AS
margin,
products.type,
products.gstexempt,
productpointvalues.earnvalue,
productpointvalues.redeemvalue,
productpointvalues.earnvalue / productpointvalues.redeemvalue AS redemptionmargin
FROM categories, products
LEFT OUTER JOIN productpointvalues USING (productid)
WHERE products.active IS TRUE
AND products.catid = categories.catid
AND products.catid = 2
ORDER BY products.name;
RESULT SET:
productid | cost | srp | margin | type | gstexempt | earnvalue | redeemvalue | redemptionmargin

My guess is that integer division is to blame: 50 divided by 1500 = 0.03 which rounds to zero. You probably have to cast them to real before doing the division.

Indeed. Thanks for that! I keep getting bitten by that too hehe. - Naz. William Garrison wrote: > My guess is that integer division is to blame: 50 divided by 1500 = > 0.03 which rounds to zero.
