When I execute those statements in ij, I see the result you expected: ij> CREATE TABLE CV (AGE SMALLINT, RT DOUBLE, PRIMARY KEY (AGE)); 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted ij> insert into CV VALUES (20, 766.3); 1 row inserted/updated/deleted ij> select 350000.0/1000 * RT from CV where age = 20; 1 ---------------------- 268205.0 1 row selected >> Could you tell me whether the cause of problem is inaccurated data from >> a floating-point type double. That sounds likely. But it's difficult to tell without knowing exactly what you did when you ended up with that number. -- Knut Anders
