I have a part table where I have 5 fields. I want to sum the QTY of the mfgpn while showing the first returned row for the other 3 fields (Manfucturer, DateCode, Description). I initially thought of using the MIN function as follows, but that doesn't really help me insofar as that the data is not a int data type. How would I go about doing this? Right now I'm stuck at the following query below:
SELECT SUM([QTY]) AS QTY
,[MFGPN]
,MIN([MANUFACTURER]) AS MANUFACTURER
,MIN([DATECODE]) AS DateCode
,MIN([DESCRIPTION]) AS DESCRIPTION
INTO part
GROUP BY MFGPN, MANUFACTURER, DATECODE, description
ORDER BY mfgpn ASC
