I have built a table taking columns from several other tables that are all linked by one or another common columns. I now need to perform simple multiplication on 2 the data in 2 columns contained in the table I have built. I see examples of the syntax such as this: SELECT name, price*quantity AS total_price FROM purchase;
however I don’t know what to put in here for the ‘FROM’ table as I am performing this arithmetic on 2 columns from the table I have built which to my knowledge doesn’t have a name (unless there is some sort of default name you can use for these tables we build? I am very new to SQL..).
Here is my code so far:
select A.*, A.TRANSACTION_ID, B.AMOUNT, B.CHARGE_ID, C.CHARGE_TYPE_ID, D.CHARGE_GROUP, E.EXCHANGE_ID, E.TRADE_DATE, timestamp_table.timeformated FROM REPLDOADM.IRE_ESTIMATE_TRANS_MAP A left join REPLDOADM.IRE_CHARGES_ESTIMATE B ON A.ESTIMATE_ID = B.ESTIMATE_ID left join REPLDOADM.IRE_CHARGES_LU C ON B.CHARGE_ID = C.CHARGE_ID left join REPLDOADM.ire_charge_types_lU D ON C.CHARGE_TYPE_ID = D.CHARGE_TYPE_ID left join REPLDOADM.VW_IRE_TRADE_TRANSACTIONS E ON A.TRANSACTION_ID = E.TRANS_ID left join ( select to_char(create_ts, 'HH24:MI:SS') as timeformated, TRANS_ID from REPLDOADM.VW_IRE_TRADE_TRANSACTIONS) timestamp_table ON (A.TRANSACTION_ID = timestamp_table.TRANS_ID)
On my output I have 2 columns called RATE and BASIS_TYPE which I need to muliply together on a row by row basis and get the output in a new column. These 2 columns were both taken from REPLDOADM.IRE_ESTIMATE_TRANS_MAP initially.
Any thoughts?

I think you simply need this –
select A.*, A.TRANSACTION_ID, B.AMOUNT, B.CHARGE_ID, C.CHARGE_TYPE_ID, D.CHARGE_GROUP, E.EXCHANGE_ID, E.TRADE_DATE, timestamp_table.timeformated, A.RATE * A.BASIS_TYPE CALC_RATE FROM REPLDOADM.IRE_ESTIMATE_TRANS_MAP A left join REPLDOADM.IRE_CHARGES_ESTIMATE B ON A.ESTIMATE_ID = B.ESTIMATE_ID left join REPLDOADM.IRE_CHARGES_LU C ON B.CHARGE_ID = C.CHARGE_ID left join REPLDOADM.ire_charge_types_lU D ON C.CHARGE_TYPE_ID = D.CHARGE_TYPE_ID left join REPLDOADM.VW_IRE_TRADE_TRANSACTIONS E ON A.TRANSACTION_ID = E.TRANS_ID left join ( select to_char(create_ts, 'HH24:MI:SS') as timeformated, TRANS_ID from REPLDOADM.VW_IRE_TRADE_TRANSACTIONS) timestamp_table ON (A.TRANSACTION_ID = timestamp_table.TRANS_ID)
