What is the difference between
-using Group by in the SQL of the report
-having a Group section in the report
Answer Posted / sanjeev kumar sinha
An Actuate Group Section will group similar records
together by a key field. A query pulling all the records
from a table with 100 records and grouping by State or
Province will still display 100 records on the report. No
data is lost or aggregated.
A SQL Group By will aggregate data being pulled from a
table. Grouping By State or Province will result in
somewhere less than 100 records being delivered to the
report. The results most likely will be 5 records
containing a count and the state name: DL-20; MH-10; BR-5,
WB-25, and MP-40. A Group By processes the data and creates
new information about that original data.

I'm busy writing a report that's using report bursting, to be able to do this I need to use a sequential section. Using a sequential section cause the grouping of the original report not to work. Please can someone give me advise on how to come past this problem, the report need to use grouping as it depend largely on totals ect, and I need to use a sequential section within the report to be able to use the report bursting facility.
