hi, in addition to the others comments, you can also remove " ELSE 0 " from your query. It will result in <NULL> values that are discarded by SUM.

September 2013 03:13 To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: [GENERAL] Sum of columns Hi, this is my query: SELECT user, sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 50 AND lev < 70 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as a, sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 70 AND lev < 80 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as b, sum(CASE WHEN lev >= 80 AND lev <= 90 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as c, sum(CASE WHEN lev > 90 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as d, (SELECT a + b + a + d) AS matches FROM t_temp_fts GROUP BY user' I like to add up the 4 columns a,b,c and d of every user, but it doesn't work like this. Does anyone know a solution Janek Sendrowski
