SQL Divide by Two Count()

Question

I have the following query, which is trying to figure out the percentage of a certain product compared to the total number of products. IE: [Product Count] / [Total Products

Answer 1

Cast as something with decimal precision, not Integer. A float or real.

select cast(distinctCount as real)/cast(totalCount as real) * 100.00
   , distinctCount
   , totalCount
from (
 select count(distinct id) as distinctCount
  , count(id) as totalCount
  from Table) as aggregatedTable

Answer 2

Cast your total count as a number besides integer (DECIMAL?) - the math rounds off.

Answer 3

Shouldn't that be:

;WITH totalCount AS(
    SELECT 
        CAST(COUNT(id) as Integer)as totalCount
    FROM TABLE_NAME
)
SELECT 
    ((CAST(COUNT(DISTINCT id) as Integer)*100/(SELECT count(*) FROM totalCount))) as 'Percent'
FROM TABLE_NAME

Note the SELECT COUNT(*). Also, you should multiply before you divide, otherwise you'll always get zero
