I am having a SUM problem also.
Here is what I am trying to do. There are two tables: cust_rfq1_2 and inventory1 cust_rfq1_2 has four columns: rfq_id(int4),qty(int4),part_id (varchar 30),rev (varchar 2) inventory1 has three columns: part_id (varchar 30),rev (varchar 2), qty_instock (int4) Data in the cust_rfq1_2 looks like this: 4, 5,parta,01 4,10,parta,01 4,10,partb,01 Data in the inventory1 looks like this: parta,01,100 partb,01,100 When I use the select cust_rfq1_2.part_id,cust_rfq1_2.rev,SUM(cust_rfq1_2 from cust_rfq1_2 where cust_rfq1_2.part_id=inventory1.part_id and cust_rfq1_2.rev=inventory1.rev and cust_rfq1_2.rfq_id ='4' group by inventory1.part_id,inventory1.rev" I get good results: part_id,rev,sum parta,01,15 partb,01,10 However, when I use this sql statement for update: "update inventory1 set qty_instock=inventory1.qty_instock + cust_rfq1_2.qty where cust_rfq1_2.qty = ANY (select SUM(cust_rfq1_2.qty) from cust_rfq1_2 where cust_rfq1_2.part_id=inventory1.part_id and cust_rfq1_2.rev=inventory1.rev and cust_rfq1_2.rfq_id='4' )" I get this: inventory1 Results After the update part_id,rev,qty parta,01,100 partb,01,110 inventory1 Results before the update part_id,rev,qty parta,01,100 partb,01,100 inventory1 Results Should be After update part_id,rev,qty parta,01,115 partb,01,110 Any suggestions would be appreicated.
