I'm trying to do an aggregate, SUM, on a column while also selecting each value
included in the SUM grouping. For Example:
A B C -- -- -- 10 20 1 10 21 2 10 22 1 11 23 1 11 24 1
I would like an output each B value along with C's "B" value divided by SUM(C) grouped by A. Basically it's a distribution of each C value over the sum of the C values within each unique A
ie
20 0.25 where 0.25 = 1/(1+2+1) 21 0.50 where 0.50 = 2/(1+2+1) 22 0.25 where 0.25 = 1/(1+2+1) 23 0.50 where 0.50 = 1/(1+1) 24 0.50 where 0.50 = 1/(1+1)
I can get parts of this to work but I need 2 levels of access: One; for the SUM of C grouped by A, Two; A row-level select within each group ID. I think an inner or self-join is the correct path but I can't get the syntax right.
Is SQL the right way because I think I might a looping construct from PL/SQL ? I'm leaning towards SQL because ultimately I plan to use this SQL in a view.
Can anybody please point me in the right direction ?
TIA,
Cliff
