在SQL*Plus提示符下输出求和报表，我们可以借助break与compute两个命令来实现。这个两个命令简单易用，可满足日常需求，其实质也相当于在编写SQL语句时使用分组及聚合函数。不同的是在报表中的分组的最下方或整个报表的最下方我们可以得到如sum,avg以及自定义的聚合字样。见下面的演示。
1、break的用法
a、获取帮助信息
--如果帮助不可用，需要安装SQL*Plus help，参考: SQL*PLus 帮助手册(SP2-0171) http://blog.csdn.net/robinson_0612/article/details/8852568
goex_admin@SYBO2SZ> help break
BREAK
-----
Specifies where changes occur in a report and the formatting
action to perform, such as:
- suppressing display of duplicate values for a given column
- skipping a line each time a given column value changes
(In iSQL*Plus, only when Preformatted Output is ON)
- printing computed figures each time a given column value
changes or at the end of the report.
Enter BREAK with no clauses to list the current BREAK definition.
BRE[AK] [ON report_element [action [action]]] ...
where report_element has the following syntax:
{column | expression | ROW | REPORT}
and where action has the following syntax:
[SKI[P] n | [SKI[P]] PAGE] [NODUP[LICATES] | DUP[LICATES]]
The SKIP option is not supported in iSQL*Plus
b、命令特性描述
break 命令主要用于过滤重复列，正如单词所表达的意思及中断，也就是说中断显示重复的列。
当下一行记录的上指定的列与上一行相同，不显示该列，否则显示该列。
当使用break时，通常建议sql语句使用Order by 子句。可以基于order by子句使用多个列，同样break 也可以使用多个列。
report_element表明可以基于列，表达式，行，以及report等多种不同类型来进行中断显示，也就是说break on对哪个进行分组。
action则表示
skip[n],在每个分组的最后，自动跳过n个空行。
skip page, 在每个分组的最后，自动换页。
break on row skip[n],每一行后面跳过n个空行。
nodup 重复的显示空，dup重复的也显示。
c、演示break用法
--基于列deptno进行中断显示
goex_admin@SYBO2SZ> break on deptno
goex_admin@SYBO2SZ> break --break用于查看当前break的设置信息
break on deptno nodup
--下面查询中，deptno列被中断显示
goex_admin@SYBO2SZ> select * from emp order by deptno;
