I'm hoping there's a real easy way of doing this that I'm just missing:

Given a Select statement such as:

Select ID, code, amount from foo where code < 10;

that gives me a table like this:

ID      code            amount
_____________________________________
1       4               20
2       3               10
3       4               15
4       2               10
5       3               9
6       3               8

I want to generate a report table like the following (group by code):

ID      code            amount
_____________________________________
4       2               10
        2               10
2       3               10
5       3               9
6       3               8
        3               27
1       4               20
3       4               15
        4               35
                        72

Such that the final table has additional subtotal rows with the aggregate sum of the amounts. I'm thinking I can generate two tables and merge them, but is there an easier way using a fancy Select statement?

Try generating them and merging them in one queryt:

SELECT ID, code, amount
FROM (SELECT ID, code, amount
              FROM table_name
              UNION
              SELECT null, code, sum(amount)
              FROM table_name
              GROUP BY code) t
ORDER BY code, test1_id

Note that I didn't test that
