    Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.

    I have the following code and it is returning the error (shown in the Subject line (truncated) and above)...

    DECLARE @tmpTotalPrice AS MONEY

    SELECT

    @tmpTotalPrice = a.rateprice + a.featuresprice

    FROM

    accountinfo a

    SELECT

    a.location AS Location, a.name AS Name,

    a.wirelessnum AS 'Wireless No', a.rateplanmins AS 'Rate Plan Minutes',

    a.rateprice AS 'Rate Price', a.featuresprice AS 'Features Price', @tmpTotalPrice AS 'Total Price'

    FROM

    accountinfo a

    GROUP BY a.location, a.name, a.wirelessnum, a.rateplanmins, a.rateprice, a.featuresprice

    ORDER BY a.location, a.name, a.wirelessnum

    GO

    I am trying to add the rateprice and featureprice fields to the tmpTotalPrice variable but it is returning the same value for each row (probably the last row).

    My research has shown this is a problem when working with multiple rows but I haven't found a solution.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • this is most likely the error:

    if the table accountinfo has two or more rows, then you'd get the error you describe...maybe you need a WHERE statement to limit the rate + feature to a single row? featureid=2 or something??

    SELECT

    @tmpTotalPrice = a.rateprice + a.featuresprice

    FROM

    accountinfo a

  • The variable can only be loaded once. So it's going to be set a single time and then when you reference it in the second select statement it will only have one value. It looks like you're trying to define the variable as a function. It doesn't work like that.

    Instead, either generate the values on the fly, adding the two together, or you'll need to eliminate the variable declaration and change it to a sub-select that you join to within the main select statement.
