As given the subquery could be written as

select tableB.order, sum(tableB.ok) as s_ok from tableA, tableB
where
tableB.order=tableA.num
and tableB.cust_no=4895
GROUP BY tableB.order
HAVING SUM(tableB.ok) < 5

But something tells me that it should not be necessary to include noth
table twice in the whole query, and that you should use EXISTS instead.
But since I don't have the full picture I cannot suggest an alternative.
