I have a simple problem that I dont know how to solve in sql.
I have two tables, cost :
a | b | c -------+-------+--------------- 31.99 | 14.12 | 133.1
second table: income
Party | sum ------+-------- A | 90 B | 12 C | 70
Now i want to get a result that substract for each party A, B, C
the income-cost and finds the net value. I cannot compare the column header to column value. I am quite new to this, so I am struggling quite a lot. There should be really easy way of doing this.
I created the ‘cost’ table by
SELECT sum(A) as A, sum(B) as B, sum(C) as C FROM mytable;
may be there is clever way of creating this table in the same formate as income table that would make it easier to compare? I will appreciate any suggeestion on any of the two fronts. Thanks a lot!

Answer
You can compare, using case
:
select party, cost - (case when party = 'a' then a when party = 'b' then b when party = 'c' then c else 0 end) from cost c cross join income i
