Oops ... Just after I sent my reply I noticed that in the Subject line you wanted to avoid the GROUP BY. My solution will not work.

Just out of interest: why this restriction?

The formal alternative (I call it formal because although it does not use GROUP BY I doubt it is a practical alternative to the GROUP BY) is to use the window versions of MAX and COUNT.

     sel COL_A as Product, COUNT(COL_B) OVER(PARTITION BY COL_A ROWS BETWEEN
     UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING) as Total from the_table

and then perhaps apply the same trick you used with the MAX.

If you have a special reason to do this, of course.
