Answer 1

Creating derived tables

You can create derived tables like this:

// Assuming this static import, as always:
import static org.jooq.impl.DSL.*;

Table<?> x = table(
    select(USER_TRANSACTIONS.AMOUNT)
    .from(USER_TRANSACTIONS)
    .where(USER_TRANSACTIONS.TRANSACTIONTIMESTAMP.gt(
        LocalDate.parse("2022-03-09")
    ))
).as("x");

And then use it like this:

ctx.select(sum(x.field(USER_TRANSACTIONS.AMOUNT)))
   .from(x)
   .fetch();

Alternative using FILTER

jOOQ supports the standard SQL FILTER clause, and can emulate it also for SQL Server:

ctx.select(sum(USER_TRANSACTIONS.AMOUNT).filterWhere(
       USER_TRANSACTIONS.TRANSACTIONTIMESTAMP.gt(LocalDate.parse("2022-03-09"))
   ))
   .from(USER_TRANSACTIONS)
   .fetch();

This is especially useful if you're aggregating several things in a single query , eg with different filters
