Hello Experts -

I wonder if I can ask with you about the syntax of sql statement to get the right results for the following scenario:

Scenario :
Given the following two tables:

clients (id (PK), name)
transactions (id (PK), client_id, trans_date, debit, credit, comment) transactions.client_id references clients.id What is precise sql statements which selects the balance for ALL clients, even if they have no transactions. (Assume initial balances to be zeros). Sample table contents:
clients:
id name
-- ------
1 Pit-bull
2 Jennifer
3 Casper

transactions:
id client_id trans_date debit credit comment

It's not easy writing a book, trust me. I wrote Chapters 1-12 and 14, and Mary wrote Chapter 13 (she has much more ERP experience than I do at the moment).

Hi,
it depends on your needs. I bought some books from Apress recently and _some_ of them
definitely deserve attention (some of the authors contribute to oracle-l):

  • Oracle Exadata Survival Guide - still in Alpha, but seems very interesting, reading the first chapters now
  • Pro Oracle SQL 2nd Edition - I have no doubts, considering the 1st edition and the authors list
  • Expert Oracle RAC 12c - already read, great book!
  • Expert Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c - still reading, very good

Regards
Dimitre
