need urgent help for sum aggregation

  • can some give me hint i am trying to get a statement that will perform a daily sum aggregation on the field cost. It must only use costs that are associated with the follow items: Z001, Z002. The cost must also only come from division

    this what I have tried :

    DECLARE @dailycost date

    SELECT @dailycost = GETDATE()

    if @dailycost = @dailycost

    SELECT SUM(Cost)

    FROM dbo.Cost

    where Item = 'ZOO1'

  • How about some DDL for the tables, some sample data and desired output?

    My mantra: No loops! No CURSORs! No RBAR! Hoo-uh![/I]

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
