Hi,
Can you explain your desired output?
Shatrughna
September 18, 2011 at 8:43 am
The output should be the total quantity sold for each product and return a print statement that reads (as an example) a total of 7 monitor(s) were sold you can use any looping construct.

which part of the question are you struggling with...the "total quantity" or the "print" statement.
did you research previous suggestion about GROUP BY / SUM ??

Total quantity
SELECT sum(SalePrice)
FROM Products p
INNER JOIN Sales s ON s.ProductID = p.ProductID
group by ProductName

Ok, so what exactly is it that you're stuck on?

Question # 11: Create a loop to go through the products table ordered by productname . for each product give me the total quantity sold for each product and return a print statement that reads ///(as an example) a total of 7 monitor(s) were sold //// you can use any looping construct.
Create a cursor on a query that lists all available product names and ids.
Fetch a row at a time from the cursor into variables.
Use the product id to query for the number of sales for the current product.
Construct and print the required message.
Repeat until the cursor runs out of rows.
The question does not say what you should do about Coffee Pots - the product exists, but none were sold. You need to decide whether to print a message that says zero were sold, or to omit that product.

Having said all that, writing cursor code is a pretty poor way to learn to use SQL Server. Once you have written the required solution using a loop or cursor, show your tutor this set-based solution:
DECLARE @Message VARCHAR(8000) =
(
SELECT
'A total of ' +
CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), COUNT_BIG(s.SaleID)) + SPACE(1) +
p.ProductName + '(s) were sold' +
CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
FROM dbo.Products AS p
LEFT JOIN dbo.Sales AS s ON
s.ProductID = p.ProductID
GROUP BY p.ProductID, p.ProductName
ORDER BY p.ProductName
FOR XML
PATH (''), TYPE
).value('(./text())[1]', 'VARCHAR(8000)')
PRINT @Message

probably about the only thing missing to get a meaningful result is the product indication:
SELECT ProductName, sum(SalePrice)
FROM Products p
INNER JOIN Sales s ON s.ProductID = p.ProductID
group by ProductName
order by ProductName
Of course this will return a set and will not use the requested loop.
I just wanted to add this to "loop" :sick::sick::sick::sick::sick::sick::sick:
