To get number of people and total Salary, try this...
select dept.dname, dept.loc,
count(emp.ename) as Number_of_people, sum(emp.sal) as Total_Salary
from emp
join dept on emp.DEPTNO = dept.deptno
group by dept.dname,dept.loc
You can get other things as well
select dept.dname, dept.loc,
count(emp.ename) as Number_of_people,
sum(emp.sal) as Total_Salary,
avg(emp.sal) as Average_salary,
min(emp.hiredate) as First_dept_hire,
max(emp.hireDate) as Last_dept_hire
from emp
join dept on emp.DEPTNO = dept.deptno
group by dept.dname,dept.loc
The scalar (inline) cursor can only have only one value in its projection.
If you want to have more than one value, use a join and aggregate all the values, as Sparky suggests.
