[V4RB] Use of SUM command

Hi,
I am trying to optimize some of my database calculations. For example I
use the SUM command twice because depending on 'Type' I have to change
the sign. These are the SQL commands:
aCursor = vdb.SQLselect("Select Sum(Amount) from Accs where Type='2'")
bCursor = vdb.SQLselect("Select Sum(Amount) from Accs where Type='3'")
And the result:
Result = - aCursor.DoubleField(1).value - bCursor.DoubleField(1).value
Is there a way to make this calculation in one SQL command? I have
found stuff inside the Doc but no examples. I guess this is the GROUP
command but I have absolutely no clue of how it works, documentation
has no mention about it.
Thanks,
Stan
