Both WITH ROLLUP and WITH CUBE clause permit us to execute
multiple "levels" of aggregation in a single statement. CUBE
generates a result set which shows aggregates for all combinations of values in
the selected columns whereas ROLLUP generates a result set which shows
aggregates for a hierarchy of values in the selected columns.

Sometimes we need a report in
which we need to see Subject-wise total and total of each student in a single
shot. Here is an example using WITH ROLLUP and WITH CUBE clause.
-- WITH ROLLUP
SELECT [stu_name]
,[subj]
,Sum([marks])
FROM [test].[dbo].[tbl_stu] GROUP BY stu_name, subj WITH ROLLUP

-- WITH CUBE
SELECT [stu_name]
,[subj]
,Sum([marks])
FROM [test].[dbo].[tbl_stu] GROUP BY stu_name, subj WITH CUBE
