HI all,

below is the view i´ve tried to create on a table. The purpose was to do
some math on one of the columns (retning). The column is a double precision
number. The result is that the function is not recognized ("ERROR:  function
to_number(double precision, unknown) does not exist"). I´m a bit uncertain
on how the syntax is, so perhaps someone could point me in the right
direction?

If the column is already a numeric data type there is no reason to use 
to_number() (which converts a character value to a number)

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW "husnr_view" ("KOMNR", "VEJKODE", "VEJNAVN",
"HUSNUMMER", "POSTNR", "POSTNAVN", "X", "Y", "RETNING", "TSTAND", "NKLASSE")
AS
  SELECT
    HUSNR.KOMNR KOMNR,
    HUSNR.VEJKODE VEJKODE,
    HUSNR.VEJNAVN VEJNAVN,
    HUSNUMMER,
    HUSNR.POSTNR POSTNR,
    HUSNR.POSTNAVN POSTNAVN,
    HUSNR.X X,
    HUSNR.Y Y,
    CASE
      WHEN HUSNR.RETNING < 20000 THEN (20000- HUSNR.RETNING)/111
      WHEN HUSNR.RETNING > 20000 THEN (40000- (HUSNR.RETNING -20000))/111
    END RETNING,
    HUSNR.TSTAND TSTAND,
    HUSNR.NKLASSE NKLASSE
  FROM rk_grundkort.husnr;
