Question
INCORRECT SUM WHEN ADDING MULTIPLE COLUMNS IN ORACLE
I have some tables in a DB and am creating a view to show the profit of the company.
One of the tables (CHARGEEVENTS) holds details of Fixed charges and Variable Charges (2 columns)
Another Table (BOOKINGS) holds details of booking costs (revenue)
I can query each of these successfully and get the correct result.
I am trying to derive Revenue-Costs as a single value. I get a result (ie the SQL syntax is valid) but it is not correct. Any Ideas?
This is my query code:
SELECT
SUM(FIXEDCHARGE+VARIABLECHARGE)-SUM(BCOST) AS PROFIT
FROM
CHARGEEVENTS, BOOKINGS
1: 2: 3: 4:
