Subject Query Help?
Author Lee Jenkins
Hello all,

I have a table with the following relevant fields:

ItemID // Integer
ProductDescription // Varchar
OrderID // Integer

This is the current statement that I use:

SELECT
Count(ITEMS.PRODUCTDESCRIPTION) AS CountItems,
Sum(ITEMS.ITEMPRICE) AS TotalItems,
ITEMS.ORDERID, ITEMS.PRODUCTDESCRIPTION,
FROM ITEMS
GROUP BY
ITEMS.ORDERID,
ITEMS.PRODUCTDESCRIPTION,
HAVING ITEMS.ORDERID = :OrdID;

What I need to do is pull both pull the records out as they were entered
into the database, but also group them by productdescription which forces a
sort on the productdescription. I can't use ItemID to ORDER BY (which is
the record id for a particular orderID) because I am forced to use to use it
in the GROUP BY and since the value is unique per record....

Any suggestions on a work around I might try?

Thanks a bunch,


Lee
