subject: Re: SQL statement example request
What gets weird here is the grouping. Using basic SQL syntax, the
easiest is this:
select hdr.key1, hdr.total, sum(dtl.amount)
from hdr join dtl on hdr.key1 = dtl.key1
group by hdr.key1, hdr.total
having hdr.total <> sum(dtl.amount)
This assumes only one key field (such as order number) and it also
assumes that there is only one header record per detail, thus allowing
me to group by key1 and total. The having clause then allows you to
compare the total from the header to the summed amount from the detail.
There are probably better ways nowadays. In fact, I would normally go
with a CTE, and some of the fancy new SQL syntax might make it even
easier. But this will work and it's relatively easy to read.
