For example: 20 21 21,5 30 28 .. 46392 <- 46392 <- But it could be: 42300 43100 44000 43800 65000 <- 42100 Human eye could locate these values, but there we need to check 30.000 articles and 450.000 values. Do you have any idea, how to this with SQL? In most cases the first values are ok, the second interval (after a date) it could be wrong... I don't know how to define the solution, but I think PGSQL have intelligent solution for this problem. We need to search for elements have bigger value like base price * tolerance. But the base price is calculated dynamically from the lower values... The tolerance is lower on highest base prices. The good news is relational dbs excel at performing. However you have not provided nearly enough info to help write a query. How are such things calculated? Thank you for any help! Best regards dd
