>Hi All
>I am using a Sybase database but I would think the sql syntax should be almost the same. I have a requirement that I need to calculate fine for overweight trucks. The way the customer wants to do this is to have 1000 pound groups and each group has a progressively higher rate. For example, if a truck is 3500 lbs overweight then the calculation should be:

>1000 * .005   = $5.00
>1000 * .01     = 10.00
>1000 * .015   = 15.00
>500   * .02    = 10.00
>for a total of 40.00
