What you have cannot be        correct. Assume for instance that vendor price = product price...              o To avoid division by zero you need this:               pe.Vendor_Price / nullif(pe.ProductPrice, 0)               The condition pe.ProductPrice > 0 is not enough, because there is        no guarantee in which order SQL Server evaluates the expressions.                     --       Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel@sommarskog.se              Links for SQL Server Books Online:       SQL 2008: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/cc514207.aspx       SQL 2005: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/bb895970.aspx       SQL 2000: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/books.mspx              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
