Collect your aggregates in a common table expression query (or possibly more than one, depends what you need) using the minimum non-aggregated columns to enable you to get correct results and then later decorate that with all the extra things you need such as constant columns and columns that are irrelevant to the aggregation. > > This gets hard when queries are very complex, and harder still when the query is written by a query generator. But a good generator should not just say "grouo by everything that's not aggregated" and think it's doing a good job. In your case it should be relatively straightforward. > > cheers > > andrew Ah, yes, only now do I see that the query screams for a CTE. Thanks for the eye opener.
