[Quoted] How can I compute, using SQLPLUS, both the *sum* and the *average* of a column?
[Quoted] [Quoted] This seems like pretty basic functionality, but I found: [Quoted] [Quoted] 1) I couldn't get both sums and averages to work on a column 2) the sqlplus manual says "if multiple COMPUTE commands reference the [Quoted] [Quoted] same column in the ON clause, only the last COMPUTE command applies."
[Quoted] For the record, I tried:
[Quoted] compute sum label Total of nbr_logins on report compute avg label Avg of nbr_logins avg_min_on_site total_min_on_site on report
SQLPLUS would average the "nbr_logins" field, but not summarize it.
[Quoted] How can I get past this limitation?
