Query Issue

    Update Requests

    Set ER.[Part] = SUM(CAST(PT.[PREM] AS money)*Cred.CreditSigned / 100)

    FROM Requests ER JOIN tblBuyinPtB Pt

    ON ER.[SSN] = PT.[BOSSN] JOIN dbo.tblCredit Cred

    ON Cred.

    = Pt.

    WHERE Pt.RIC is null OR Pt.RIC ='B'

    GROUP BY Pt.BON

    Please Help me writing this.......I am an error:getting incorrect syntax near group by

    That would be because the update statement doesn't support a group by clause.

    It looks like you would need to use a derived table here. Something like this:

    update Requests

    set ER.[Part] = t.Value

    from Requests ER

    INNER JOIN (select [BOSSN],

    Value = SUM(CAST(PT.[PREM] AS money)*Cred.CreditSigned / 100)

    from tblBuyinPtB Pt

    JOIN dbo.tblCredit Cred ON Cred.

    = Pt.

    WHERE Pt.RIC is null OR Pt.RIC ='B'

    GROUP BY Pt.[BOSSN]) t ON ER.[SSN] = t.[BOSSN]

    Note that this code is untested... you did not supply table definitions or table data. If it doesn't work, please provide this information. See the link in my signature for how to do this.

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

  • Thank you very much .......This is working fine

  • raghu,

    May I ask why you felt it necessary to delete your initial post? The problem you were having may be useful to someone else; without your problem description they would never know it the answer would help them also.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
    "Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".

    raghu,

    At least you had quoted the original post and he didn't completely change the problem on us like "someone else" on another thread did after I posted a solution to his code.
