Re: Please some help on a join question with sum aggregate

The other alternative is to use:

select AA.id, AA.seq, AA.price + coalesce(sum(BB.price),0)
from AA left outer join BB using (id, seq)
group by AA.id, AA.seq, AA.price;

The sum and group by seems more natural to me. The coalesce
takes care of the case where there is nothing in table BB,
but there is something (and you want to see it) in AA.
