database - Preferred syntax for adding SQL SUMs together -
To say that I want to return the total sales, Unit Pays + Tax Amount, for the entire data set, I call the SQL query I can send back in two different ways with the same result.
or
SELECT from the total sale of sales as a SELECT SUM (Unit Piece + Tax Amount) SUM (Unit Paris) + SUM (Tax Amount) Sales from AS 'Total Sales'
Does any one of these questions reflect on other (performance or otherwise)? Or is it just a matter of taste?
Use:
SUM (UnitPix + tax) AMOUNT) using
can return
... as "Total Sales" by SUM (SUM) + SUM (tax amount) NULL If you have more than one value, you can wrap them in COALESCE:
SELECT SUM (COALESCE (UNITESPICE, 0) COALESCE (tax amount, 0))
update
I do not see any difference between the two methods, and considering that SUM () + SUM () more secure Damage, it confiscates deal for me.
