Question

how to limit an integer query result to 1. a return of 2 to be 1, a return 1 to be 1, and a return of 0.5 to be 0.5 because it is <= 1. i don’t want to modify the tables, i just want to modify the results.

This is my exact query.

select ((select "V01" from sports where "UID" = '1') * 1.0 ) / 
(select "V01" from master where "BALL" = 'REQUIREMENT') ;

I’m using postgres.

Answer 1

To limit, you’d do something like this:

select 
    case 
        when yourNumber >= 1 then 1
        else yourNumber
    end
...

Then you just apply this concept to your query.

As noted by Wiseguy, you could also do:

select LEAST(yourNumber, 1)

, since this is postgresql.

The first solution will work with any ANSI SQL compatible database.

Update

Applied to your query, I think (if I understood what you want correctly) it would be like this:

select LEAST(1,
               ((select "V01" from sports where "UID" = '1') * 1.0 ) / 
               (select "V01" from master where "BALL" = 'REQUIREMENT')
       );
