Salary display

Question

Dear All,
Want to display the Employee name and the salary amount in astericks.
Each asterick signifies a thousand dollars.
e.g.
Name Salary
Karl Higgins***********************

Answer 1

Try this:
create table test (name varchar2(30), salary number(10,2))
insert into test values ('Karl Higgins', 12600);
select name||lpad(' ',round(salary/1000,0)+1,'*') from test;
You can replace round() function with ceil() or floor depending your requirements. "+1" is to offset single space used in lpad().
