BTW: The FROM clause is optional in SQLite. It is required only for expressions involving fields.
SELECT 2/4 AS RESULT; Will also work, without the overhead of accessing every row of TABLE and performing DISTINCT processing and maybe even without obtaining a lock on the database. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Gene Connor [mailto:neothreeei...@hotmail.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 30.

SELECT DISTINCT 2/4 AS RESULT FROM TABLE;returns 0 SELECT DISTINCT 2/4.0 AS RESULT FROM TABLE;returns 0.5 (correct) SELECT DISTINCT 2.0/4 AS RESULT FROM TABLE;returns 0.5 (correct) SELECT DISTINCT 2.0/4.0 AS RESULT FROM TABLE;returns 0.5 (correct) SELECT DISTINCT 2.0/4.01 AS RESULT FROM TABLE;returns 0.49875 (correct) As long as one or both numbers has at least one decimal place, it calcs correctly. Verified that it also happens in queries using tables and real data.
