Hi All,
I'm having problems with the sum() agregate function. Simply put I
want to query a table and return grouped sum agregates. The SQL im
using is:
SELECT PortfolioCurrValue.MID, Sum(PortfolioCurrValue.CurrValue) AS
PortfolioValue
FROM PortfolioCurrValue
GROUP BY PortfolioCurrValue.MID;
currValue conatins large integers ( the largest is curently
195680000) the largest sum should be un the region of 199905000. The
query returns a number of responces per 'mid' (not just the sum of
the values per mid). Infact it apears to return a row per value
Converting the data-type to int8 seems to have no afect on the error.
Anyadvise?
Thanks
David Horwitz
