Union Views

  • I think I already know the answer to this, but I thought I'd take a shot and post a question in case anyone knows a work-around with this:

    We have a view that combines three different types of information: It combines a players stats, totals, and averages so that when the view is queried it looks like this:

    Player       Pts         Rebounds

    Player A    10.000          8.000

    Player B     10.000         10.000

    Total         20.000         18.000

    Average     10.000          9.000

    The view combines the information in three sections: Ord 1 which is the Playier information and Ord 2 which is the Total Information and Ord 3 which is the Average information - a skeletal creation of the view is as follows

    select 1 as ord, player as player, sum(pts), sum(rebs) from sum_players where tm = #tm#

    union

    select 2 as ord, 'Total' as player, sum(pts), sum(rebs) from sum_team where tm = #tm#

    union

    select 3 as ord, 'Average' as player, avg(pts), avg(rebs) from sum_team where tm = #tm#

    THe issue is that people want the Average to be displayed with a precision of 3 decimal points, but the Totals and Player stats in whole numbers.  So it looks like this:

    Player       Pts         Rebounds

    Player A    10               8

    Player B     10              10

    Total         20            18

    Average     10.000          9.000

    I know that the fields have to be the same DataType, but does anyone know a way I can work around this to make the Output appear differently??

    Thanks in advance!!

  • select 1 as ord, player as player, sum(pts), str(sum(rebs),6,0) from sum_players where tm = #tm#

    union

    select 2 as ord, 'Total' as player, sum(pts), str(sum(rebs),6,0) from sum_team where tm = #tm#

    union

    select 3 as ord, 'Average' as player, avg(pts), str(avg(rebs),6,3) from sum_team where tm = #tm#
