I have a query that looks something like this:

SELECT (c_o_w_inst_rev - c_o_w_estcost)/c_o_w_inst_rev
FROM tmpGovernmentSummaries

The problem is that sometimes c_o_w_inst_rev is 0 and dividing by zero
returns a NULL.

If c_o_w_inst_rev == 0 how can I return 0 for the SELECT above instead
of NULL?  Can I test in the SELECT if c_o_w_inst_rev is 0 and return 0
and if not do the math?

Insight would be greatly appreciated :-)
