Hello all,

New web2py user here. I'm trying to translate the following query to work 
in the DAL:

SELECT items.description, sum(quantity) FROM orders.items GROUP BY 
description;

This gives me the items together with the quantity totals for each type of 
item. I'm having trouble getting this to work in web2py however.

I've tried this:

    items = db.t_items
    desc = items.f_description
    qty = items.f_quantity
    count_view = db().select(desc, qty.sum(), groupby=desc).as_list()

Which doesn't work. If I remove the .sum(), I just get one entries' 
quantity. How can I make this work? TIA
