Grand Total SUM of COUNT

Question

Hi all!
I am trying to grab a total of the COUNTS and SUM them together. I am trying to build a chart with graphics builder, but alas, that software has a 2000 character limit for its queries, so the inline view approach did not work. Here is my query:
SELECT
to_char(to_date(papf.attribute1, 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYY') Base_Entry_Year,
count(*)
-- SUM(count(*)) does not work
FROM
per_all_assignments_f paaf,
per_all_people_f papf,
per_jobs pj,
per_job_definitions pjd
WHERE
papf.person_id = paaf.person_id
AND paaf.ass_attribute14 IS NOT NULL
AND to_char(to_date(papf.attribute1, 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYY') IS NOT NULL
AND (papf.employee_number IS NOT NULL OR papf.person_type_id = 3)
AND paaf.job_id = pj.job_id
AND pj.job_definition_id = pjd.job_definition_id
AND pjd.segment1 NOT IN ('09140018', '09340006', '09140037', '09140051', '09140052', '09140054', '09140055')
GROUP BY
to_char(to_date(papf.attribute1, 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYY')
ORDER BY
to_char(to_date(papf.attribute1, 'YYYYMMDD'), 'YYYY')
Any ideas on how I can accomplish this? Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi,
I ran two different queries:
1.
select KeyCol, count(*), Sum(count(*)) over ()
  from Test t
group by t.KeyCol ;
Result:
        KEYCOL     COUNT     SUM(COUNT(*))OVER()
1     DHP     398     5505
2     FIH     1     5505
3     FIN     2971     5505
4     FLP     5     5505
5     HTBC     1     5505
6     Z99     22     5505
7          2107     55052.
select KeyCol, count(*), count(*) over ()
  from test t
group by KeyCol;
Result:
        KEYCOL     COUNT     COUNT(*)OVER()
1     DHP     398     7
2     FIH     1     7
3     FIN     2971     7
4     FLP     5     7
5     HTBC     1     7
6     Z99     22     7
7          2107     7This shows that both queries are not equivalent.
