Hi again,
    Development question.  User wants the sum of all the purchase orders for 
this year and last year.  I'm trying to get it in the same select statement.  I 
want something like this, but don't know how to get it.

select sum(ord_tot) "TY Invoiced Totals",
       sum(ord_tot) "LY Invoiced Totals"
from   ar_inv_hdr
where  inv_dt between trunc(sysdate, 'YYYY') and sysdate
and    inv_dt between trunc(sysdate, 'YYYY')-1 and trunc(sysdate, 'YYYY')-365

This, obviously, doesn't do what i want, but it's where i've gotten to so far.  
Do i need to select from the same table twice?

Thanks,
Lyall
