Problems with to_number
HI all,
below is the view i´ve tried to create on a table. The purpose was to do
some math on one of the columns (retning). The column is a double precision
number. The result is that the function is not recognized ("ERROR: function
to_number(double precision, unknown) does not exist"). I´m a bit uncertain
on how the syntax is, so perhaps someone could point me in the right
direction?
thanks in advance,
Christian

If the column is already a numeric data type there is no reason to use to_number() (which converts a character value to a number)
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW "husnr_view" ("KOMNR", "VEJKODE", "VEJNAVN",
"HUSNUMMER", "POSTNR", "POSTNAVN", "X", "Y", "RETNING", "TSTAND", "NKLASSE")

HUSNR.Y Y,
CASE
WHEN HUSNR.RETNING < 20000 THEN (20000- HUSNR.RETNING)/111
WHEN HUSNR.RETNING > 20000 THEN (40000- (HUSNR.RETNING -20000))/111
END RETNING,
