Re: Calculating inside query?

there is no error, it just does not pull out the right values. Just puts out 10 listings and the top10 column (as I named it by alias) contains no value. I am using mysql. maybe this has to do somehting with the alias?

Hi there, I would like to find out the top 10 of some ratings. There are 2 columns. One for the rating and one for the amount of ratings. To find out the top 10 I would have to divide those 2 values and sort it. Somehow this does not work. I do not have a clue why. Maybe someone of you guys do see the error: Mysql: SELECT ID, rating_total / ratings_amount AS top10 FROM rating ORDER BY top10 desc LIMIT 10 Thanx for any help, Andy query -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
