Обсуждение: Another Solution: Dividing Money

Well... well.  uhhh well.

My feeble mind has managed to work out another very, very simple solution
to this:

select price, price / 2::float as halfprice from item_money;

All of my fretting and worrying, and the answer was that simple.

Which version of Postgres are you using?
on my v6.4 it works well:

rova=> select sal, sal/2 from emp;
sal      |?column?
---------+---------
$1,600.00|$800.00
$2,850.00|$1,425.00
$950.00  |$475.00
$1,250.00|$625.00
$1,500.00|$750.00
$1,250.00|$625.00
