Author Hierarchical query problem

Hi,

We have a hierarchical query and we have to find sum
(amount) of only those rows which are involved in parent
child relationship.

table a has following data and contains hierarchical
information:

TAB A
-----

col1 parent_col1

10 20
20 null
25 null
30 null


TAB B
------

co1 amount co3
1 100 10
2 200 25
3 300 10
4 200 20
5 100 30

We have to find sum(amount,count(*) from TAB B group by
co3 where co3 is referencing to TAB A
and co3 value is involved in parent child
relationshop ...in our case 10,20

How to write a query to get results like:

co3 amount count
10 400 2
20 200 1

Thanks

Hi Harvinder,

If I understand you correctly, please try the following sample code.

-- Create the two test tables
create table table_a (col1 int, parent_col1 int)
create table table_b (col1 int, amount int, col3 int)

-- Insert some test data into the two tables
insert into table_a values (10,20)
insert into table_a(col1) values (20)
insert into table_a(col1) values (25)
insert into table_a(col1) values (30)

insert into table_b values(1,100,10)
insert into table_b values(2,200,25)
insert into table_b values(3,300,10)
insert into table_b values(4,200,20)
insert into table_b values(5,100,30)

-- Query the data
select col3, sum(amount) as amount, count(col3) as count
from table_b
where col3 in (select x.col1 from table_a x, table_a y where x.parent_col1
is not NULL or x.col1=y.parent_col1)
group by col3

-- Result
col3 amount count
----------- ----------- -----------
10 400 2
20 200 1

(2 row(s) affected)

If anything is unclear, please let me know.
