Optimizing a PostgreSQL Query for Summing Two Columns from a View While Handling Specific Conditions and Calculated Columns.
Understanding the Problem and the Query The problem presented is a PostgreSQL query that aims to sum two columns from a view, while also displaying certain columns that were added due to specific conditions. The query uses Common Table Expressions (CTEs) to achieve this. Breaking Down the Query with cte as (select pw.noc_id as noc_id , sum(pw.amt) as Collected_AMT from tamsnoc.noc_basic_vw bw, tamsnoc.noc_wf_vw nw, pymt.noc_pymt_vw pw, pymt.noc_available_for_pymt_vw nvp where pw.noc_id = bw.
