Hi all!
I have a little problem with the "compute sum" syntax.
SELECT X1, X2, X3
FROM table
ORDER BY X1
COMPUTE SUM(X1), BY X2
In the query, i only get the values of the table
But i want the sum of the values of X1
Can anyone help?
Greetings
Martin

This may be difficult to answer without knowing which database (and version) you're using.
Many databases won't allow such syntax and you would rather do:
SELECT Sum(X1), X2, X3
FROM table
GROUP BY X2, X3
ORDER BY Sum(X1)

Well, I also asked about the version (of the database), while it would be good know even more about your environment, including the programming language and the database driver you're using.
Generally I can only say that the COMPUTE statement is not fully supported by Microsoft, not supported by all drivers, possibly even being phased out. See:
