I have 2 tables 1 has a date field and component need by that date and the
other has all the upcoming orders.
I am trying to build a query that will give me the Date and ComponentNeed
and also how many components have been ordered before that date and how many
after.
PostGreSQL is telling me I need to group on DatePromisedBy. I have tried a
number of different possibilities which haven't worked and now I have run
into brain freeze. Any help would be appreciated.


You could :
SELECT ..., sum( stuff ), ..., (DatePromisedBy > a_particular_date) as after GROUP BY after


You'll get two lines, one the sum of things before a_particular_date, one of things after a_particular_date. Look in the 'after' field to know which is which.
