One compute clause can apply the same aggregate to several columns. This query finds the sums of prices and advances for each type of cookbook:
select type, price, advance from titles where type like "%cook" order by type compute sum(price), sum(advance) by type
type price advance --------- ---------------- --------------- mod_cook 2.99 15,000.00 mod_cook 19.99 0.00 Compute Result: --------------- --------------- 22.98 15,000.00 type price advance --------- ---------------- --------------- trad_cook 11.95 4,000.00 trad_cook 14.99 8,000.00 trad_cook 20.95 7,000.00 Compute Result: --------------- --------------- 47.89 19,000.00 (7 rows affected)
Remember, the columns to which the aggregates apply must also be in the select list.
