Re: sql SUM and EXIST function

Hi Joel

Your outer SELECT does not have a GROUP BY - not sure that would fix anything, but it'd eliminate one error message, at least.

i suspect you want the GROUP BY taken out of the inner SELECT - there's almost no reason to have it there, since an EXISTS could care less (you don't have a HAVING clause to further define the selectivity). And certainly the aggregate functions have no bearing on the EXISTS - in fact, the inner SELECT could be

select 1 from...

and work just as well.

How can I display the "sum(AFNLAPL),sum(AESTAPL) " ?

I am trying to aggregate all the child record qty's into one field and list them as a parent field?

Thanks




select ACNTNMB,AFNLAPL,sum(AFNLAPL),sum(AESTAPL)

from jstone/conterms a where exists (
select acntnmb,sum(AFNLAPL),sum(AESTAPL) from jstone/applsjct b

where ACNTNMB < 300000
and a.ACNTNMB = b.ACNTNMB
and a.ADVSNCD = b.ADVSNCD
group by ACNTNMB
)
