I'm looking for suggestion on how to approach generating reports from a DB.

Here is a high view of the tables that the report is generated from.

tblCourse
courseID, coursetitle, blah

tblOffering
offeringID, offeringDate, courseID, offeringsize, blah

tblOfferingStudentLookup
offeringID, studentID, blah

tblstudent
studentID, studentName, blah


Users would enter a date range in a form to generate the report.

My issue is if courseA is delivered multiple times during within the date range, I still only want the report to list course A with the totals of the offeringsize, and total of the number of students attended. As opposed to having every offering listed.

What I can get is:

Course A, 16, 15
Course A, 20, 18
Course A, 8, 10
Course A, 14, 14
Course B, 10, 10
Course B, 12, 11

What I want to get is:

Course A, 58, 57
Course B, 12, 11

Any suggestions or sample code would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

SELECT
    CourseName, Sum(OfferingSize), Sum(NoStudents)
FROM
    TheTable
GROUP BY
    CourseName

Check out http://www.w3schools.com/sql for more info.

Cheers,
