It is a an extension to the `GROUP BY` clause and can be used with `ORDER BY` to sort the results. + +``` +SELECT…GROUP BY ROLLUP (column 1, [column 2,]…[column n]) +``` + +ROLLUP generates n+1 levels of subtotals and grand total, where n is the number of the selected column(s). + +For example, a query that contains three rollup columns returns the following rows: + +* First-level: stand aggregate values calculated by GROUP BY clause without using ROLLUP. +* Second-level: subtotals aggregating across column 3 for each combination of column 1 and column 2. +* Third-level: subtotals aggregating across column 2 and column 3 for each column 1. +* Fourth-level: the grand total row. + +NOTE: Trafodion does not support CUBE function which works slightly differently from ROLLUP. + +[[considerations_for_rollup]] +=== Considerations for ROLLUP + +[[null_in_result_sets]] +==== NULL in Result Sets + +* The NULLs in each super-aggregate row represent subtotals and grand total. +* The NULLs in selected columns are considered equal and sorted into one NULL group in result sets. + +[[using_rollup_with_the_column_order_reversed]] +==== Using ROLLUP with the Column Order Reversed + +ROLLUP removes the right-most column at each step, therefore the result sets vary with the column order specified in the comma-separated list. + +[cols="50%,50%"] +|=== +| If the column order is _country_, _state_, _city_ and _name_, ROLLUP returns following groupings. +| If the column order is _name_, _city_, _state_ and _country_, ROLLUP returns following groupings. +| _country_, _state_, _city_ and _name_ | _name_, _city_, _state_ and _country_ +| _country_, _state_ and _city_ | _name_, _city_ and _state_ +| _country_ and _state_ | _name_ and _city_ +| _country_ | _name_ +| grand total | grand total +|=== + +[[examples_of_rollup]] +=== Examples of ROLLUP + +[[examples_of_grouping_by_one_or_multiple_rollup_columns]] +==== Examples of Grouping By One or Multiple Rollup Columns + +Suppose that we have a _sales1_ table like this: + +``` +SELECT * FROM sales1;
