[SQL] sub query

2003-09-17 Thread Martin Kuria
Hi I have this problem, when I try to run this query:

SELECT MAX(d), host_position FROM (SELECT host_position, 
COUNT(host_position) as d FROM sss_host GROUP BY host_position) as e;

am getting and ERROR: Attribute e.host_position must be GROUPed or used in 
an aggregate function.

Please to advice what could be the problem and how can I rewrite it to work 
thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Just thought about another (less complex) way:
SELECT COUNT(host_position), host_position FROM
sss_host GROUP BY host_position ORDER BY 1 DESC LIMIT 1;

[SQL] sub query

2003-09-20 Thread Martin Kuria
Hi again I have this problem when I try to run this query, how can I rewrite 
it for it to work.

SELECT o.item_order_num,SUM(o.item_quantity + o.item_product_id) As total, 
o.item_status
FROM soko_product p, soko_ordered_item o
WHERE p.product_id = o.item_product_id
GROUP BY o.item_order_num
ORDER BY o.item_order_num;

Error: Attribute o.item_status must be GROUPED OR USE IN an aggregate 
function

Please do advice thanks again
Kind regards

Re: [SQL] SUM() & GROUP BY

2004-05-07 Thread Martin Kuria
Thanks Huxton,

Sorry for not explaining fully here is what I would like to achieve:

When I do:

SELECT s.pd_geo, COUNT(s.pd_geo) FROM ser s GROUP BY s.pd_geo;
OUTPUT:
pd_geo | count
--
1|   49
2|   39
3|6
4|54
It outputs the number of entries the Divisions have made

Here is what Division table contains:

SELECT * FROM ser_divisions;

divisions_name | divisions_id
---
DEE   |   3131
DEPI  |   3133
DED   |   3134
GBH   |   3136
Now I would like to get to know how each Division answered i.e.

SELECT s.pd_geo, COUNT(s.pd_geo)
FROM ser s
WHERE s.ser_divisions = '3131'
GROUP BY s.pd_geo;
output:

pd_geo | count
--
1 |   9
2 |   2
3 |   6
4 |   5
But this is the output I intend to get:

divisions_name | pd_geo  | count
---
DEE |   1 |  9
DEE |   2 |  2
DEE |   3 |  6
DEE |   4 |  5
How do I achieve the above results please do advice thanks again.

Kind Regards
