Re: Can an SQL common table expression be used for many different selects?

@Charles
I've just tried and it returns the number of fetched rows only, not the
total result set length.

I'll take a look at those new features you suggested, hoping they exist at
V7R2 also.

GET DIAGNOSTIC DB2_NUMBER_ROWS is what you want to look at here.

If the previous SQL statement was an OPEN or a FETCH which caused the
size of the result table to be known, returns the number of rows in the
result
table. For SENSITIVE cursors, this value can be thought of as an
approximation since rows inserted and deleted will affect the next
retrieval of
this value. Otherwise, the value zero is returned.


Run it after you OPEN your cursor, before you FETCH.

Now, on the same data retrieved by this SQL statement, others select
statements must be run to get some totals according to different group

by

clauses in order to present the data set distribution to the final

user.

Have you looked at the OLAP functions in addition to ROLLUP, CUBE and
grouping sets?

When I started writing SQL on the AS/400, (sub)totaling required an extra
statement.
That is no longer the case.
