I have 2 tables containing the data for same items: STORE1 ----------------------------- Id type items ----------------------------- 1 FOOD 10 2 FOOD 15 3 SOAP 20 STORE2 ----------------------------- Id type items ----------------------------- 1 FOOD 15 3 SOAP 10 4 PAPER 25 5 SOAP 12 What I am looking for is one single query that would return me TYPE-wise total number of items from both the tables. UNION does not help me. I want the result as: Type count ----------------------- FOOD 40 //10+15+15 SOAP 42 //20+10+12 PAPER 25 Thanks in advance, -Satish -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
