Hi everyone, I have some trouble writing a SQL stored procedure that
can do the following:
We have data in one table in numeric form, but we want to sum the data
in this table based on the values of two different alpha fields. To
illustrate, let me write the following example:
Table with these records:
A B 1.1 2.2 Blah1 Blah1
A B 2.3 5.6 Blah2 Blah2
B C 7.8 9.1 Blah3 Blah3
B C 4.5 1.0 Blah4 Blah4
R F 1.1 4.3 Blah5 Blah5
B A 3.1 2.7 Blah6 Blah6
I need to write a query that will return the following result set from
the above table:
A B 3.4 7.8 Blah1 Blah1
B C 12.3 10.1 Blah3 Blah3
R F 1.1 4.3 Blah5 Blah5
B A 3.1 2.7 Blah6 Blah6
If the alphanumberic keys are the same, the sum the numeric columns up
whilst displaying one one of the records, the blah fields don't matter
if one only one is displayed. Can anyone recommend the best way to do
this? I'm running MS SQL 2005.
Thanks,

SELECT col1, col2,
SUM(col3) AS col3, SUM(col4) AS col4,
MIN(col5) AS col5, MIN(col6) AS col6
FROM your_table
GROUP BY col1, col2 ;

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.

Difficult question
Has anyone else used the "Using the Tab control as a container"
database example that comes with the above book chapter 7 on the
accompanying disc. It is a brilliant piece of design that I have used
in 2 previous projects and they have worked beautifully.
What it does is set up the tabs in a container with a different tab

I have about 40 different defects I'm tracking. I'd like to have all of

show these results in a report. I know I could create 40 queries (one for
each defect) with just the two fields, count and defect, and sum the count
field but that sounds like a lot of work.
Is there a way I can do this much simpler and quicker?

I have a table with 50 fields that receive input depending on whether
that input came in from a 'shaker' form or a 'conveyor' form. Input
from the 'conveyor' form might populate 25 fields while input from the

fields (however there are about 10 common fields to both). I'd
