Subject Re: [firebird-support] Division by zero chech
Author Walter Ogston
Just to fill out what Lester says, here is a snippet of sql that does what
you want:

select
<other stuff>
case
when sum(A.UIDCOUNT) is not null and sum(A.UIDCOUNT) <> 0 then
(select
100 * cast(count(C.UID) as double precision) from
actcount C
where C.COLLECTION_NUMBER = B.COLLECTION_NUMBER
and C.OPERISD = A.OPERISD)/ sum(A.UIDCOUNT)
else null
end PERCENT
<from etc.>
