[ciapug] SQL Question

I'm using a grouping sql statement to return a list of unduplicated
records:

SELECT id, afn,fnm,lnm,dat,prgdsc,svc,cor,cos,zip,cit,x,y,z FROM
`snapshot` 
GROUP BY by afn,svc
having svc='L1AA' and cit='Marshalltown'
ORDER by afn;

I'd like to sum the x,y,z columns from the result within the same query.
This seems like a perfect candidate for a sub-select. However, I'm using
mysql 3.x

I could dump the records in a temp table and sum the columns, but I was
looking for a way to make the sql server do it in single step. Anyone
got any ideas?

Upgrading to mysql 4/5 is out of the question, as well as switching to
postgres/MSSQL/Oracle...


:) Dave
