     avoid division by zero in a WHERE clause:
 <programlisting>
-SELECT ... WHERE x <> 0 AND y/x > 1.5;
+SELECT ... WHERE x &lt;&gt; 0 AND y/x &gt; 1.5;
 </programlisting>
     but this is safe:
 <programlisting>
-SELECT ... WHERE CASE WHEN x <> 0 THEN y/x > 1.5 ELSE false END;
+SELECT ... WHERE CASE WHEN x &lt;&gt; 0 THEN y/x &gt; 1.5 ELSE false END;
 </programlisting>
     A CASE construct used in this fashion will defeat optimization attempts,
     so it should only be done when necessary.
