Hi Muncho,

Yes, it is possible to use ceil().

Take resident of our inline table

new_table:

load

type,

ceil(weight) as weight

resident inline_table;

Drop table inline_table;

Hope you get it.

No, no you guys get it wrong.

I need ceil it different for each types.
like normal weights ceil(weight), and express(weigh, 0.5) etc.

Hi Mucho,

if you have 3 or 4 attributes in type field, try to use

if condition as

if(type='normal', ceil(weight),

if(type='express', ceil(weight, 0.5),

........

))) as new_weight,

hope this help you.

Thanks & Regards,

Yogesh

Hi,

use the clause WHERE weight<=10 when you create your new table and make other WHERE for weight>10.
