Summary

## Instruction

Correct, nice! Now, let's combine CASE WHEN with some aggregate functions.

You've learned the function SUM(), the constructions CASE WHEN and you know that CASE WHEN can return numbers. Now, let's combine all of this information to make a very convenient query which can count various groups of rows at the same time. Take a look:

SELECT

SUM(CASE
WHEN scholarship IS TRUE THEN place_limit
ELSE 0
END) AS scholarship_places,

SUM(CASE
WHEN scholarship IS FALSE THEN place_limit
ELSE 0
END) AS no_scholarship_places

FROM course;


The above query counts two SUMs: the number of places in all courses which offer scholarship and the number of places in those which don't.

Inside SUM, we put a CASE WHEN statement. When the value in the column scholarship is true, then we add the value from the column place_limit to the sum called scholarship_places. Otherwise, we add 0. The other SUM is calculated in the same way.

## Exercise

Calculate the total sum from fees paid on June 3, 2015 (column june_3rd) and the total sum from fees paid on June 4, 2015 (column june_4th).

### Stuck? Here's a hint!

1. You have to use SUM and CASE WHEN.
2. One code piece for CASE WHEN is:
CASE
WHEN pay_date = '2015-06-03' THEN fee
ELSE 0
END
Figure out the other CASE WHEN code statement on your own.
