| thank you so much madhivan , i got that done successfully ; however, no i am troubling with another sql problem.i gotta calculate the sum of different fields in the table. i thought about using sum aggregate function but as far as i know it just calculates the sum of the same field provided that you group the rows.thank you inadvance.. |
