Adding selects

  • I have a table with three columns, Item_no, Date, Qty.

    what I want to do is, select on this table but if there is for example 3 records with the same Item_no and Date, I would like it to add the qty up for these, and just give me one record back with the combined total. There are 100 of different records in the table but only 10 percent have duplicate item_no and Date and different Qty.

    IF anyone can help I will be glad to give more info

    Thanks in advance

    do you want something like

    SELECT Item_no, SUM(Qty) AS blabla

    GROUP BY Item_No ?

  • And add the date to that solution to yield

    
    
    SELECT item_no, date, sum(qty)
    FROM table
    GROUP BY item_no, date

    SELECT item_no, date, sum(qty)
    FROM table
    GROUP BY item_no, date
