select sum(decode(balance,'C',amount,(amount*-1))),name from temp group by name;

Suppose I have table structure like this: amount Numeric(10)
balance VARCHAR(1)

the balance column can only have one of 'D' or 'C'

I want to sum the amount of Debet and Credit on ONE SQL statement. How my SQL statement should be?
