Question

I am a student this is homework. I use SQL server to check my work but have to write script by hand.

Create and display a VIEW that
displays the account balance subtotals
for each account group. Account group
is defined as the first two digits of
the account number. Display a grand
total of the balance column at the end
of the display.

I have one table with 4 columns. Account(numbers), Description, Short_Description, and Balance(money). The Account numbers range from 100001-610003. COA is the chart of accounts that is an excel link. Thanks for any advice.

This is what I have so far…

CREATE VIEW [account_balance_sums]
 AS 
 SELECT Account, Short_Description,Balance
 FROM COA
 Where Account, (first two digits 10-61 of account #)
 AND sum
 GO

SELECT * FROM [account_balance_sums]

I don’t want to do it for you as you will never learn but you will need the GROUP BY clause.
