  Hello, my problem is how to do division in postgresql without it being truncated to an integer. The case here is: 3/2 should be 1.5 but the result is 1. I have checked the documentation and it says that the / operator truncates the result to an integer. So, is there another operator or function that does division without the result being truncated to an integer?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.
