Dear all,

How do I "translate" this MySQL query into Access query:
--------------------------------------------------------
select a.ttl_qty - b.ttl_qty from
(select sum(qty) ttl_qty from money where type="I") a,
(select sum(qty) ttl_qty from money where type="O") b

Thanks.
 
Hi,


SELECT a.ttl_qty - b.ttl_qty
FROM ( SELECT SUM(qty) AS ttl_qty
FROM money
WHERE type="I" ) AS a,

( SELECT SUM(qty) AS ttl_qty
FROM money
WHERE type="O" ) AS b


to keep the same logic (note that I just added AS keywords). I assume you
use Jet 4.0 (Access 2000 or later)



Hoping it may help,

Sorry Michel,

I need to do it in Access97.
If I do it in your suggested way, it prompt
"Syntax error in FROM clause".
Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

It was a very peculiar syntax in A97:

SELECT a.ttl_qty - b.ttl_qty
FROM [SELECT SUM(qty) AS ttl_qty
FROM money
WHERE type="I"]. AS a,

[SELECT SUM(qty) AS ttl_qty
FROM money
WHERE type="O"]. AS b

Note the square brackets not parens, and the required period after the
close bracket.

Or, you can use the DSum() function:

SELECT DSum("[qty]", "[money]", "[Type] = 'I'") - DSum("[qty]",
"[money]", "[Type] = 'O'") As Profit FROM <whatever table>

A97 and earlier is a little weird. If I remember that far
back:

SELECT a.ttl_qty - b.ttl_qty
FROM [ SELECT SUM(qty) AS ttl_qty
FROM money
WHERE type="I" ]. AS a,

[ SELECT SUM(qty) AS ttl_qty
FROM money
WHERE type="O" ]. AS b

Note the funky Dot after the ]
 
Hi,

What if the table name is two seperate words, let's say "Transaction History"?
How to quote it?
Can't just quote it with bracket as usual.

Same is true for ACCESS 2000 and 2002... the funky dot syntax is needed in
these versions, too.
 
Hi all,

Can I do it this way:
SELECT iif(isNull(Sum(iif(Type="I", qty)),0,Sum(iif(Type="I", qty))) -
iif(isNull(Sum(iif(Type="O",qty))),0,Sum(iif(Type="O",qty)))
FROM [Transaction History];

As I recall, you cannot use table names that have spaces in them with this
syntax. If that is what you have, you likely will need to create and save a
query that does what is in the [ ]. syntax, and then use that saved query as
a data source for the final query.

Hi Ken,

May I know the reason?
'Cos it seems to work in my Access97.

I beleive I misunderstood what you were posting. In reviewing your SQL
again, it appears that you are summing values from fields, which will work.
My initial read of the statement was that you were trying to insert field
names based on the results of the IIf statements, and that was the focus of
my answer.

My apologies.
