----------------------------------------------------------- From: SriSamp Message 4 in Discussion COMPUTE normally allows you to see the detail rows and then the final total. In your case, you had to group the results based on some criteria and then also provide the grand total. Thus, if you try some query like: SELECT type, TotalPrice=SUM(price), TotalAdvance=SUM(advance) FROM titles GROUP BY type COMPUTE SUM(price), SUM(advance) It would not work, since price and advance columns do not exist anymore. Rather, the best way out is to generate an intermediate table and then build the COMPUTE on top of that (which is what my posted query does). From a performance angle, you would not see any issues too. Not sure if there is any other way currently... Will post if I think of another solution...
