DB2 SQL Confusion

ThorButtox — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 16:46:09 +0000

I am failing to understand why the following won’t work

SELECT m.index, SUM(d1.amt), SUM(d2.amt)
FROM master m,
detail d1,
detail d2
WHERE m.index = d1.index
AND m.index = d2.index
AND d2.qalif = 1
GROUP BY m.index

I wrote another sql that does work, I just don’t understand why I get higher values on SUM(d2.amt) than I am expecting.

SQL Table Join when the name of a column in Table1 equals the value of a column in Table2

Bchat — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 08:13:42 +0000

Does anyone know how to write the SQL to join two DB2 tables when the name of Table1.columnA equals the data values stored in Table2.columnB?

In the table structure examples listed below, I’m trying to figure out how to join Table1 and Table2 when the values in Table2.Tag_Name are equal to the column names in Table1, i.e. Public_Housing, Private_Funding, Public_Education

Table1.
Account_Id
Status_Id
Public_Housing
Private_Funding
Public_Education

Table2.
Group_Id
Tag_Id
Tag_Name

Thanks.
