Re: SQL problem (forgot to change header with earlier post!).

Hi again, and thanks for your efforts on my behalf!

I've tried running this code 4 different ways and none of them work -
your original and my efforts to tweak the code!

This always ends up giving just 1 (integer division - using float) or
1.0000000000 (using numeric).

Check out the fiddle here:

Yes, the first statement is the way to go on this particular case, but
I'm also trying to understand the ins and outs of CTEs, so I'm
interesting in solving this one!

Thanks again,
