SQL: Need to run query on results of query
I need to run a query on the results of another query.
First I have a query that gives me a list of customers and the products they own from my company, if those products were opened in 2019. I need to take that list of customers and find out, of those, which ones had late fees and how much the late fees were. Here's an example of the query I wrote that gives me the list of customers:
I need to now take the list of customers that query products and join in another FEES table to see which of those customers if any had fees and what the fee amount was. What would be the easiest way to do this?

WHERE PR.TYPE IN (26,27) AND
AC.OPEN_DATE <= '2019-01-01' AND
(AC.CLOSE_DATE >= '2019-01-01' OR
AC.CLOSE_DATE IS NULL)
I need to now take the list of customers that query products and join in another FEES table to see which of those customers if any had fees and what the fee amount was. What would be the easiest way to do this?

@slightwv, what about the WHERE clause where I will specify the types of fees. So something like this:
It seems like it would only pull in customers that had a late fee if I added that bit of code.
SELECT DISTINCT AC.CUST_NBR
FROM DB2INST1.ACCOUNT.AC
INNER JOIN DB2INST1.PRODUCTS PR ON AC.CUST_NBR = PR.CUST_NBR AND AC.ACCOUNT_NBR = PR.ACCOUNT_NBR
LEFT OUTER JOIN DB2INST1.FEES FEE ON AC.CUST_NBR = FEE.CUST_NBR
WHERE PR.TYPE IN (26,27) AND
AC.OPEN_DATE <= '2019-01-01' AND
(AC.CLOSE_DATE >= '2019-01-01' OR
AC.CLOSE_DATE IS NULL) AND
FEE.TYPE = 'LATE'
It seems like it would only pull in customers that had a late fee if I added that bit of code.

@slightwv, every customer number row is coming back with a fee. I was expecting to see a lot of NULLS in there, but every customer listed has a fee associated with it, and I know that's not the case.
We would need a test case to set up the tables with data. Then see your expected results.
Otherwise we are just guessing.

Hi,
I suggest you break the problem into two separate queries and use CTE syntax to join those queries together.
Something like
This is a good way to divide and conquer a problem and then merge the results into one. :)

Something like
WITH customerlist as (
<your customerlist query>
), customerfees as (
<your customerfees query which could be a group by query to sum upp all the fees>
)
select .... from customerlist cl, customerfees cf
where cl.cust_nbr = cf.cust_nbr ...
This is a good way to divide and conquer a problem and then merge the results into one. :)

@slightwv, you were correct. I had a small error in my code but I was able to fix it and get the results I need. Thanks.
