DOC: SQL Statement Disagrees with Text Description

Last reviewed: January 8, 1997
Article ID: Q135842

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

Page 355 in the Developer's Guide has a text description followed by code to display companies that have more than $50,000 in total orders for the year. However, the SQL statement displays companies with more than $1,000 in total orders for the year.

This documentation error has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

The SQL statement currently reads as follows:

SELECT customer.company_name, SUM(orders.freight) ;

   FROM tastrade!customer, tastrade!orders ;
   WHERE customer.customer_id = orders.customer_id ;
   GROUP BY customer.company_name ;
   HAVING SUM(orders.freight) > 1000 ;
   ORDER BY 2 DESC

This SQL statement's HAVING clause should be changed to the following to display companies with more than $50,000 in total orders for the year and to match the text description:

   HAVING SUM(orders.freight) > 50000 ;
