When you post support questions, provide enough information to help us
understand your problem. In what way doesn't it work...?

If you have columns named Year and Month in IB 6 or Firebird, they must be
quoted identifiers, or you would not have been allowed to create
them. Year and Month are reserved words. Are they columns? If so, this
should work:

select "Year", "Month", SUM(Sales) from sales group by "Month";

(Sales would need quotes too if you created the database with a tool that
forces quoted identifiers...)
