Hi Rakesh,

You can create SQL View on Oracle database instead of bringing down
the whole data set. This View can be easily used in subsequent queries. Please
go through the following.

lnhandle = SQLCONNECT()

?SQLEXECUTE(lnhandle,"CREATE VIEW myview AS SELECT cid,SUM(namount) AS nTotal FROM mytable")

?SQLEXECUTE(lnhandle,"SELECT cInvNo,nTotal FROM myview,mytable WHERE myview.cid = mytable.cid")

?SQLEXECUTE(lnhandle,"DROP VIEW myview")

?SQLDISCONNECT()

BTW, Are you from India?
