RE: Another SQL Question

["Mackie, Roger L. (Precision Press)" <RLMackie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If your OS version does not support CTEs, You can also substitute place
numbers for labels in the order by statement:

> SELECT SKUNO, DIVISION, sum(PRICE), avg(price), count(*) FROM FileA 
> GROUP BY SKUNO, DIVISION ORDER BY count(*) desc, SKUNO, DIVISION

SELECT SKUNO, DIVISION, sum(PRICE), avg(price), count(*)
    FROM FILE A
    GROUP BY SKUNO, DIVISION
    ORDER BY 5 DESC, 1, 2

You can wrap your statement in a CTE, which lets you treat the results
of a query like a regular table.

With Prices_and_counts as(
SELECT
 SKUNO,
 DIVISION,
 sum(PRICE) as total_price,
 avg(price) as average_price,
 count(*) as count_of_things
FROM
 FileA
GROUP BY
 SKUNO,
 DIVISION
)

Select
 SKUNO,
 DIVISION,
 total_price,
 average_price,
 count_of_things
from
 prices_and_counts
order by
 count_of_things desc,
 SKUNO,
 DIVISION
