OK, I am trying to add the field SDAITM to identify the MAXITEMPRICE, however when I add the item field SDAITM , I lose the distinct benefit of the group by clause. THe query returns the rows I want, however, when I add SDAITM and add it to the group by all the records are returned:

This works but without SDAITM
select SDDOCO, sum(sduorg * sduprc) PRICE, max(sduprc) MAXITEMPRICE from F4211_V_UQ group by SDDOCO


This dosn't
select SDDOCO, SDAITM, sum(sduorg * sduprc) PRICE, max(sduprc) MAXITEMPRICE from F4211_V_UQ group by SDDOCO, SDAITM


SDDOC is the order number
the sum clause (alias PRICE) is the item qty x price -or- order total
MAX(sduprc) (MAXITEMPRICE) is the max price within the order number


Any suggestions?

thx...

Considering the level of information supplied and the type of question, the answer given was pretty well spot on.

What is 'F4211_V_UQ'? Read the posting guidelines. Give us the 'table' definition. Format your query. Show us the error that you are receiving.

Anyhow, I was able to solve. It's probably not posted correctly, I'd figure I'd share though:

I was asking to display this field distinctly: SDDOCO (which is an order number)
with the highest price item: SDUPRC
and include the order total: ORDERTOTAL

This works:
SELECT b.sdDoco,
       b.sdaItm,
       b.sdUprc,
       c.OrderTotal
FROM   (SELECT sdDoco,
               sdaItm,
               (sdUprc) sdUprc,
               MAX(sdUprc) OVER(PARTITION BY sdDoco ) AS MaxPrice
        FROM   MY_TABLE) b,
       (SELECT   sdDoco,
                 SUM((sDuorg * (sdUprc))) OrderTotal
        FROM     MY_TABLE
        GROUP BY sdDoco) c
WHERE  sdUprc = MaxPrice
       AND b.sdDoco = c.sdDoco;


Returned:
SDDOCO SDAITM SDUPRC ORDERTOTAL

2677021 28408255 5301800 5301800

which is correct...

**************************************************************

The issue before was this query didn't return the results I was looking for:
SELECT   sdDoco,
         sdaItm,
         SUM(sDuorg * sdUprc) SDUPRC,
         MAX(sdUprc) MaxItemPrice
FROM     MY_TABLE
GROUP BY sdDoco,
         sdaItm


returned:
SDDOCO SDAITM SDUPRC ORDERTOTAL

2677021 28408255 5301800 5301800

which is incorrect...

Another issue is I am working with data from AS400/DB2 via the oracle transparent gateway, but I will not get into that right now.

Please note I am not an Oracle DBA, so I APOLOGIZE if I am not presenting Oracle terminology appropriately.

When my eyes were enlightened to Oracle Analytic functions I resolved many GROUP-BY problems and simplified many work-around
queries I had in place.

Good article on this site by Shouvic Basu:

Also, Art Trifinov, see his section on
Modularizing Complex SQL:

And a searh list of links to reference material:
