Hi howzat,

Happy new year! And sorry for the delayed reply - pressing family matters (a visit to Disneyland <g>) interfered.

I'm not sure what exactly you want to return. Some sample data and expected results would have helped here.

Anyway, assuming that you want a count of the number of customers that satisfy the condition outlined in your previous message, try if this works for you:

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM (SELECT customer_id

       FROM    (SELECT   customer_id, order_type
                FROM     orders
                WHERE    order_type IN (3, 4)
                GROUP BY customer_id, order_type
                HAVING ( order_type = 3 AND SUM(amount) > 100)
                    OR ( order_type = 4 AND SUM(amount) > 200) ) AS der
       GROUP BY customer_id) AS der2
