Not true all the time, it can however have overhead in SQL, a SUM function at the DB, on a say a bad index can have huge consquences.

In MySQL it would be something like <cfquery name="getData"> SELECT SUM(rev) AS revsum, MAX(rev) AS revmax, MIN(rev) AS revmin, othercolumns FROM table WHERE whereclause </cfquery> Then on your cf page, #getData.revsum#, #getData.revmax#, #getData.revmin# will give you the desired output. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peterson, Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 11:34 AM Subject: Cool feature I didn't know about > Most of you probably know this, but I thought I would share because I > will use this all the time. > > How often do you need to output a total line at the bottom of a report? > You probably do one of 2 things: 1) Increment a variable while > outputting your query, or b) perform a query of queries. > > I found this trolling online and needed to share, lets say you have a > query called 'getData' and a column named 'rev' and you needed a total. > Just do this: #arraySum(getData['rev'])# You can use any array > functions (avg, max, min) against a query column referenced like this. > This seems a lot easier to read to me too! > > Chris Peterson > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:247657 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
