Re: Using SQL to get a one total row from multiple rows

Vern

Adding to what Bob said... You Must use Group By if you want to mix Aggregate Fields and non-Aggregate Fields in the Same Select. So if you want to Select:

Customer Name, Customer Number and July MTD Sales from your Order File you might code:

Select CuName, CuNmbr, Sum(OrdTot) From Orders
Where CuNmbr = 100 and OrdDate >= 20040701 And OrdDate <= 20040731
Group By CuName, CuNmbr

The Group By would give you a resulting row for each group of records.
If you have only one group of records your Where selection takes care of
getting only one group and therefore only one resulting row.

I guess I was expecting to use something along the lines of GROUP BY.  I
seem to recall using that before to do summary-type results.

But I probably mismember.

Thanks for the confirmation.
