Subqueries in a Projection clause

A subquery can occur in the Projection clause of another SELECT statement. The following query shows how you might use a subquery in a Projection clause to return the total shipping charges (from the orders table) for each customer in the customer table. You could also write this query as a join between two tables.
Figure 1: Query
SELECT customer.customer_num,
   (SELECT SUM(ship_charge) 
       FROM orders
       WHERE customer.customer_num = orders.customer_num) 
         AS total_ship_chg
   FROM customer;
Figure 2: Query result
customer_num total_ship_chg
