I think this is a relatively straightforward question but I have spent the afternoon looking for an answer and cannot yet find it. So...

I have a view with a country column and a number column. I want to make any number less than 10 'other' and then sum the 'other's into one value.

For example,

AR  10
AT  7
AU  11
BB  2
BE  23
BY  1
CL  2

I used CASE as follows:

select country = case
when number < 10 then 'Other'
else country
end,
number
from ...

This replaces the countries values with less than 10 in the number column to other but I can't work out how to sum them. I want to end up with a table/view which looks like this:

AR  10
AU  11
BE  23
Other  12

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

David
