how to limit an integer query result to 1. a return of 2 to be 1, a return 1 to be 1, and a return of 0.5 to be 0.5 because it is <= 1. i don't want to modify the tables, i just want to modify the results.
This is my exact query.
select ((select "V01" from sports where "UID" = '1') * 1.0 ) /
(select "V01" from master where "BALL" = 'REQUIREMENT') ;
I'm using postgres.
To limit, you'd do something like this:
select
case
when yourNumber >= 1 then 1
else yourNumber
end
...
Then you just apply this concept to your query.
As noted by Wiseguy, you could also do:
select LEAST(yourNumber, 1)
, since this is postgresql.
The first solution will work with any ANSI SQL compatible database.
Update
Applied to your query, I think (if I understood what you want correctly) it would be like this:
select LEAST(1,
((select "V01" from sports where "UID" = '1') * 1.0 ) /
(select "V01" from master where "BALL" = 'REQUIREMENT')
);
LEAST(number, 1)?
use the LEAST function , docs: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/functions-conditional.html. Also, check out GREATEST too
SELECT LEAST(1, <your value>)
EDIT replaced GREATEST with LEAST
try this:
select CASE
WHEN ((select V01 from sports where UID = '1') * 1.0 ) /
(select V01 from master where BALL = 'REQUIREMENT') >= 1
THEN 1
ELSE ((select V01 from sports where UID = '1') * 1.0 ) /
(select V01 from master where BALL = 'REQUIREMENT')
END;
