Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.tools -> SQL Query - Sum
Test table as follows:
paid
I would like to execute a query to return the following:
paid total
---- -----
25 150 25 150 50 150 50 150
The following query below works in MS Access:
select paid, (select sum(t.paid) from test t) as total from test;
But the query does not work in Oracle. An ORA-00936: missing expression occurs.
I would prefer not to add a total column and run an update statement to sum since the table size will change. I would also prefer not to use a function. If anyone knows of any other way...
Thanks in advance,
Toshi
