Exercise

GROUP BY

In an earlier exercise, you wrote a separate WHERE query to determine the amount of demand lost for a specific region. We wouldn't want to have to write individual queries for every region. Fortunately,you don't have to write individual queries for every region. With GROUP BY, you can obtain a sum of all the unique values for your chosen column, all at once.

You'll return to the grid table here and calculate the total lost demand for all regions.
