RE: Joining more than 2 tables

What I am looking for is a query that will return a list of id's with a
sum from table b and a sum from table c like this:

id name sum(b) sum(a)
1 shell 34 50
2 jeff 40 20

It's hard to tell what you want to happen, but perhaps you want two
separate queries:

select a.id, a.name, sum(b.qty) from a, b where a.id=xxx and b.id=a.id
group by a.id, a.name;

and the same with 'c' in place of 'b'.
