RE: SQL Query

A variety of ways on 8.0.4 followed by a couple of more ways in 8i, and 8.1.6 and higher:

SQL> select a.summer, sum(b.summer)
  2 from summer a, summer b
  3 group by a.summer
  4 /

    SUMMER SUM(B.SUMMER)
---------- -------------

         3            18
         6            18
         9            18

In-line views around officially since 7.2 can do it. So, here is another way that is basically the same as the above:

SQL> select summer, x.total
  2 from summer,

  3         (select sum(summer) total
  4          from   summer) x

  5 /

    SUMMER TOTAL
---------- ----------

         3         18
         6         18
         9         18

It wasn't until 8i (I think, which release I'm not sure) that we could nest the select in the select, in which case you could code like:

  1 select summer, (select sum(summer) from summer) total   2* from summer
SQL> /     SUMMER TOTAL
---------- ----------

         3         18
         6         18
         9         18

And if on 8.1.6 or higher, you could just go ahead and use the analytical functions like this so you only make one pass on the table:

SQL> select summer, sum(summer) over ()
  2 from summer
  3 /

    SUMMER SUM(SUMMER)OVER()

---------- -----------------
         3                18
         6                18
         9                18

If on 8.1.6 or higher, I would go for the last approach.
