RE: SQL : subtotals and total

The file I'm having to extract from was itself created by one of those dinosaurs, which unfortunately I cannot modify.

However, I do wish I'd contemplated a second dinosaur before going down the SQL road, as I think it might have already been written by now.

When I started, my DSI used to make me recite the whole cycle until all its details were learnt by heart.

David,

If you're open to a solution that's not using SQL, I think there are some dinosaurs that would suggest using the RPG cycle for this.

I've heard that it's very good with (sub)totals and stuff like that.

Disclaimer: I've never used the cycle in my entire IT career.

Subject: SQL : subtotals and total

Hi,

I have the feeling this has been answered already but I can' t find it.

I have to produce the following :

ID Product Level Total


I've created a view that does select sum (number) as total with group
by ID, product, level, etc.

This gives a total for each level of a product.

I also have to add the total of all the levels so I've created a view
over my first view to do this.

My final table would look like this :

ID Product Level Total
1 A 1 2
1 A 2 6
1 A 8

To get there I'm creating the first view, then a second on that view,
then doing 2 inserts based on those views.
Its all looking very messy.


I think there is a way to produce subtotals and an overall total with
the OVER clause.

Does anyone know if this is possible to do?

Thanks
