Problem Note 47147: Incorrect results might occur when you reference a view that contains an aggregate function

DetailsAboutRate It

Using an SQL procedure might result in incorrect results when all of the following conditions occur:

  • The query references a previously created view in the FROM clause.
  • The previously created view contains an aggregate function in the SELECT clause, and that function has been given an alias.
  • That alias appears in the SELECT clause of the current query, but it does not appear in the GROUP BY clause.

The only workaround is to create a table rather than a view in the previous query and use that table in the FROM clause.
