I am trying to get the percent and it just shows up as zero. I want to show two decimal places such as 0.65 Here is a piece of the query I am selecting:
select count(numbers)/count(othernumbers) decimal(3,2) as"rate"
if I use this it shows up as 0 and gets rid of the rest
select count(numbers)/count(othernumbers) as"rate"

Answer
SELECT FORMAT(this / that, 2) as rate
Meanwhile, I question whether COUNT(numbers)
is what you want. That counts how many rows have a non-NULL value in the column numbers
.
Also, fraction is usually more like x / (x+y)
— meaning the fraction of the total (x+y) that is x.
A “percentage” needs 100*
somewhere. 13/20 is the fraction 0.65 or the percentage 65.00 .
