Your
query also seems working, not a novice's solution :--) Thank
you

  Question
  select decode(emm_freq,0,1,emm_freq) *   decode(rec_freq,0,1,rec_freq) valuefrom (select count(emission_freq)   emm_freq,count(reception_freq) rec_freq from test where   station='STAT2')
   
    
  VALUE--------       3
   
  I am selecting from a view which as you see has   the counts of both the columns
  I am using decode to replace '0' with '1' ,   without this step the answer would be improper   for example
  for stat2 the inner view will fetch values 3 and   0 when multiplied will give 0
  to overcome this I replace 0 with 1
   
  Hope this serves the purpose

I did not understand what you meant by '<SPAN
class=270522206-02072001>And I would like to select the
number of frequencies, sort of count(*), for a given station and multiply
that value by 2 '
so what I
have done is
if

<SPAN
class=270522206-02072001>    the reception_freq is null
(that would mean there is only emission_freq )
then

<SPAN
class=270522206-02072001>    <FONT
face=Arial>value=emission_freq*1
<SPAN
class=270522206-02072001>else
<SPAN
class=270522206-02072001>   
value=emission_freq*1
end
if
<SPAN
class=270522206-02072001> 
Hope this is
what you wanted
<SPAN
class=270522206-02072001>

frequency and reception frequency and multiply by one if the station has
only the emission frequency or only the reception frequency.  I
don't know how to use a condition in SQL.  I'm sure that it's
possible to do it but I don't know how.  Can anybody help me
?
