Would be obliged if someone could let me know on how to perform aggregate functions on a given rowset. Say, for example, you have a SQL table containing data on name of students, Place of birth (like a given state in the US) and their text score. Suppose you want to know what is the average score for students born in Kansas. In your applicatin, you would normally carry out a filter with the help of the data button components provided by VDB7 which are very good. Now, you have a subset of your original rowset or a sub-rowset. What is OODML function or command for doing sum, average, etc.? I have tried the "calculate aggregates" function in VDB7 and it always returns the result for the whole rowset and not a subset. Could someone shed some light on this? Thank you in advance.
