Re: Billing coding problem

Let's call it "capacity".

amount_to_bill = flat_fee +
                         (CASE WHEN ((capacity > 10) AND (capacity <= 20))
THEN (capacity - 10)*rate1
                                    WHEN (capacity > 20)  THEN 10*rate1
                                    ELSE 0
                          END) +
                         (CASE WHEN ((capacity > 20) AND (capacity <= 50))
THEN (capacity - 20)*rate2
                                    WHEN (capacity > 50)  THEN 30*rate2
                                    ELSE 0
                          END) +
                         (CASE WHEN (capacity > 50)  THEN (capacity -
50)*rate3
                                    ELSE 0
                          END) ;
