how to get monthname without using in group by in

Question

query is taking so much time for execution and i want to decrease the execution time.this query is working but it is taking more time

*since i am not too good for writting good query so anyone let me know what else i can do with this query but the priority is to remove monthname from group by because it is taking much time while execution.But i need the monthname so is there is any chances to get month name without using in group by *

There are a number of things that you could improve in this query.

• You are using a FULL OUTER JOIN when you know that you will get rows on both sides. An INNER JOIN will get the same result (and do so faster)
• You GROUP BY sale_date, but only have monthname and year in the select list. Unless ROUNDing the total at the sale_date level is important, you can aggregate at year/month level
• The two halves of the query are essentially the same apart from the aggregation level. You could use a GROUPING SET, an OLAP function, or a WITH (CTE) to remove the redundancy in your code.
• You group by derivations of columns you are grouping by. This is not needed.
• You have ORDER BY is your sub-selects. These are not needed.

Also, you have a rouge space in the query on this line

retail_ str_sales_detail.prod_nm             as prod_nm,

so you query won't run as pasted above

Still, here is a re-write. I've not done a ROUND() at the same level of aggregation as your query, so even if I have understood your code correctly, my version might not get exactly the same result

Enjoy! I hope it inspires you to learn more about SQL and improve your query writing skills. (P.S. Next time please send your table DDL and note the Db2 version you are using)
