How to loop or something a temp distinct table to sum up the totals

Yes, but you're storing multiple instances of the same item which isn't very efficient when the database grows. It also gives you many records to update when you change the picture. Put it in a different table with an ID and join[^] it in to the base query

Normally, i would just do the math in asp.net, but I thought I would expand my knowledge of SQL.
In this case it's the right place to do it. SQL excels at storing, filtering and aggregation of data. So any math that comes with the aggregation belongs to the database (as a general but not specific rule, there are always exceptions).

That's close to exactly what I wanted. I had no idea that SQL was so, I'm not sure what word to use here, but in so few lines, it was able to produce the result I wanted. So the Group By Clause replaced the Distinct I was using to just produce to 2 items I wanted. Now I just need to add up the total Qty for each item. The SubTotal is correct, but the Qty is still just 1, should be like 7 for the first line. Let me see if I can solve this part myself. I may have a question Thanks!

Where does the QTY come from, and why should it be 7 ? if it's the result of a different group by, you can get it with a CTE[^], and then join it back in to your query. CTEs are useful when you need to return two calculated values based on different group by statements.

I believe you can remove also the last temptable:
DECLARE @YearAS int;
DECLARE @MonthAS int;
DECLARE @DayAS int;
SET @Year= 2013;
SET @Month= 8;
SET @Day= 29;DECLARE @startDate AS DATE;
DECLARE @stopDate AS DATE;

SET @stopDate = DATETIMEFROMPARTS(@Year, @Month @Day 23, 59, 59, 999);SELECT PartNumber, ThumbNail, SDescription, sum(Qty) Qty, Cost, Price, SUM(Qty * Price) SubTotal From CompletedOrdersCart
WHERE OrderDate > @startDate AND OrderDate < @stopDate
GROUP BY PartNumber, Thumbnail, SDescription, Cost, PriceAnd just like the thumbnail, the SDescription belongs in a different table, for the same reasons

My bad,
WHERE OrderDate BETWEEN @StartDate AND @StopDate
is the same as
WHERE OrderDate >= @startDate AND OrderDate <= @stopDate
not
WHERE OrderDate > @startDate AND OrderDate < @stopDate

The partnumber and thumbnail has changed since the original post, I believe you can safely assume the database contents or some other circumstances has also changed.

The Qty comes from like a shopping cart history table. So all cart items sold on the requested report date may contain 20 orders for the same item, so that day, 7 people ordered the same item of qty 1, so the qty would be 7. 7 was the result I was looking for to make sure the math was right. My explanation below is crude, but it should represent the thought. I have this bad feeling about this, I think your going to rip me a new one here ;P
Shopping Cart History
date ------- PN ---------- Qty
08/29/2013 - 8AM 06-CR10 1
08/29/2013 - 9AM 06-CR10 1
08/29/2013 - 10AM 06-CR10 1
08/29/2013 - 11AM 12-ZZZ1 2
So the Qty would be 3the result set would be
Items requiring fulfillment today
PN --------Qty
06-CR10 3
12-ZZZ1 2 -

I think I ended up doing that, and was amazed at how it worked. Let me check, This is the SQL in the asp.net function I used for testing. I kept the DateTimeFromParts because I stored the order date as a timestamp, and not a date, and had to be more precise with the hours minutes and seconds. I was originally BETWEEN, but I could not get a result, and it took me hours to figure it out, plus I had upgraded to SQL Server 2012 at the time. Then the timestamp dawned on me, and I spent another hour figuring out how to be more precise. I'd rather use between, and not use anything specific to 2012. I SUM the Qty to get 7, and it worked on the test data set, not sure if I was just lucky to get that value, I need to find more data on different days to fully check it.

Click! Oh, I see now what your saying. If the Thumbnail image is changed during the day, I can end up with 2 thumbnail image locations in a dataset. So which one would be right. I'm open to error with my SQL, and it will back fire on me soon, because it's history data. So I should get rid of the thumbnail, and make a different request for that data. That's why I should store the image data in another table, and use a join. I never thought of that. That could take me a week to change in the entire program, but it must be done. Slap me in the back of the head.

It's called normalization, and we have all walked that way. While the explanations for Normalization in Wikipedia[^] is pretty good. I personally recommend one[^] made by Peso (a bit of a legend on a different forum), because he's explaining by example.

Wow Thanks for the optimization tips! I do need to expand my knowledge here and use the tools right. I'll play around with the TSQL in SQL Manager to see the various results and read the lessons. The temp table was cool to know, but if it can be done without it, then better.
