Question

I have these two queries to test my output

SELECT DISTINCT( providerId ), 
               SUM(( claimCount )), 
               SUM(paidAmount), 
               SUM(provallowed), 
               SUM(patresp), 
               provId, 
               cliCode, 
               asctype, 
               payerid, 
               procCode 
FROM   TempCounts tt, 
       TempClient tct 
WHERE  ( tct.npi = tt.provid 
          OR tct.txcode = tt.provid ) 
       AND CLICODE = 'XXX' 
GROUP  BY tt.provid, 
          providerId, 
          cliCode, 
          asctype, 
          payerid, 
          procCode

SELECT DISTINCT( providerid ), 
               claimCount, 
               paidamount, 
               provallowed, 
               patresp, 
               provid, 
               CLICODE, 
               asctype, 
               payerid, 
               proccode 
FROM   TempCounts tt, 
       TempClient tct 
WHERE  ( tct.npi = tt.provid 
          OR tct.txcode = tt.provid ) 
       AND CLICODE = 'XXX' 

summing the unaggregated results from the second query should give the aggregated values in the first query, but my data sets end up like
first data set

15086   7   216.16  0.00    35.00   1609950203  XXX     216     72040
15086   7   227.36  0.00    21.00   1609950203  XXX     216     72070

second data set

15086   1   30.88   0.00    5.00    1609950203  XXX     216     72040
15086   1   32.48   0.00    3.00    1609950203  XXX     216     72070

Can’t for the life of me see what I’m missing and stared at it so long I’m code blind. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I figured it out finally. because the tempClient table has multiple records based on the npi and txcode field (i.e. a record can have multiple instances of txcode for each npi. I thought I was filtering for that as the same query against mysql gave correct results. The solution was adding tt.npi and tt.txcode to the groupby statement.
