(select FUNC_GET_COUNTY_NAME(CCNTY1)

But you might not need a select statement at all. Instead of a scalar subquery, can you just call the function:
,FUNC_GET_COUNTY_NAME(CCNTY1)

Ganesh is right - you will have to dissect the big query bit by bit until you find the offending subquery. If there is another way I would like to find out about it too.
The easiest way to do this is probably to use block comments to isolate parts of the query bit by bit until you find the offending part. If you carefully examine the subqueries you might be able to figure out which one is returning multiple rows without commenting everything
Good luck!

ORA-01427:single-row sub query returns more than one row (group by)

Hello every one, I am very new to this field , and Right now I am working with this sql, where BEG_BAL_WKST,WKST_RECEIVED_NUM,WKST_PROCESSED_NUM,WKST_CANCELED_NUM are needs to be grouped by,but I am getting the "single-row sub query returns more than one row".

Single row query returns more than one row

Hi all,
I have a simple update query problem. I have four tables
activist(activist_id,first_name,last_name,c_state),
membership(activist_id,g_n_id),
group_network(g_n_id,g_n_type_id),
school_grop_det(g_n_id,state). For some records in activist table the c_state column is null, i want to update that column with state column of school_group_det table.
Here is the query for the states which are null
select distinct a.activist_id,a.first_name,a.last_name,
a.c_state,sd.state from activist a,membership m,
group_network g,school_group_det sd where
a.activist_id=m.activist_id and g.g_n_id=m.g_n_id and
g.g_n_id=sd.g_N_id and a.c_state is null and g.g_n_type_id='1001'
order by a.activist_id
I got the activist_id,first_name,last_name,c_state from activist and state from school_group_det. now i as i told you want to update the c_state with state column of school_group_Det table.
Pleae any one help me
Thanks
Srinivas

Yes, the ROWNUM is never predictive. You won't know which row will be returned if you have multiple rows against a key.
But according to your table structure, If you are getting multiple values, it means your membership table has primary key composed of (activist_id,g_n_id). And every g_n_id has a state associated with it.
If an activitst_id has more than one g_n_id (which means more than one states) then which state of that you want to use for update?
Either you'll have to have only one g_n_id for each activist_id, or you'll have to decide which state you want to use for update and change your update statement accordingly.
Looking at your table structure, if the first column of each table would be a primary key then you will not get multiple values returned by the subquery.
activist(activist_id,first_name,last_name,c_state),
membership(activist_id,g_n_id),
group_network(g_n_id,g_n_type_id),
school_grop_det(g_n_id,state)

Single row sub query returns more than one row

This could be simple SQL but I am just so new to ORACLE SQL so posting it for your help. I need to fix a query
select
Edited by: Lucy Discover on Mar 11, 2011 2:09 PM

You didn't match the subquery to the current row of your query. I guess that you don't need the table sheet in the subquery.
So maybe this would work:
select
ID,
SC_NAME,
WEEK_ENDING,
PIN,
(select (t.pin||' '||o.description)
from PROJECT o
where t.pin = o.pin) as id,
MON,
TUE,
WED,
THU,
FRI,
nvl(TOTAL,0) TOTAL,
AD_ID,
NAME,
SAT,
SUN,
APPROVAL
from SHEET t
WHERE UPPER(AD_ID) = UPPER('USER')

Hi,
The cursor has a different parameter? Maybe the query is not exactly the same. Could you check this?
This is your query (formatted):

Another way, not waterproof too relay on rowid, but in your case it could work.
You have to verify it by yourself
update test_a aa
set col1 =
(select b.col1 from
(select
id, col1
,row_number() over
(partition by id order by col1) rn
from table_b) b,
( select
rowid, id, col1
,row_number() over (partition by id order by col1) sort_order
from test_a
) a
where
a.id=b.id
and
sort_order = rn
and
aa.rowid=a.rowid

Update gives "single-row subquery returns more than one row"

Hi,
I have to update a table by getting values from two other tables. While doing that the inner query returns more than one value. I am not sure how to implement the logic without returning more than one row in sub quesry. Need help on that.
My query:
update buf_office_str o
set o.manager_ident =
(select sp.ident
from se2_r_src_sourceperson sp ,
(select distinct director_name, team_name from buf_sales_dump )t
where SP.SRCNAME = upper(substr(t.director_name,instr(t.director_name,' ')+1,length(t.director_name))||', '||substr(t.director_name,1,instr(t.director_name,' ')-1 ) )
and o.office_descr = t.team_name
Basically the query gets teh manager id from sp table where sp.srcname = t.team-name.
The office descr should be equal to the team_name.
This is the logic I am working towards:
For each office, i get the office_descr and get corresponding team_name. Match the team's director_name (from table t) with the sp.name and return the employee's id (sp.ident) for that office_descr.
I need to update all 50 offices with corresponding managerid for that office in buf_office_str table.
Is it possible to get done in one update? Pls let me know.

Hi,
"Single-row subquery returns more than one row" is one of those error messages that actually means what it says: the correlated sub-query in your SET clause is sometimes returning 2 or more rows .
The solution could be as simple as making the sub-query SELECT DISTINCT , as its in-line view, t, already is.
It's possible you have bad data, or a mistake in your statement.
To find the problem cases, you can run something like this:
WITH sub_q     AS
                   SELECT -- DISTINCT ?
                            sp.ident
                   ,         t.team_name
                   ,         COUNT (*) OVER (PARTITION BY t.team_name)     AS cnt
                   FROM    se2_r_src_sourceperson     sp
                   ,         ( SELECT DISTINCT director_name
                               ,                  team_name
                           FROM            buf_sales_dump
                         )                    t
                   WHERE   sp.srcname     = UPPER ( SUBSTR ( t.director_name
                                                     , INSTR ( t.director_name
                                              ) + 1
                                            , LENGTH (t.director_name)
                                      || ', '
                                      || SUBSTR ( t.director_name
                                                      , 1
                                               , INSTR ( t.director_name
                                                    ) - 1
SELECT     o.*     -- or whatever helps you
,     sq.*
FROM     buf_office_str     o
JOIN     sub_q          sq     ON     o.office_descr = sq.team_name
WHERE     sq.cnt          > 1
;If you'd like more help, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables as they exist before the UPDATE, and the results you want from that data (that is, the contents of buf_office_str after the UPDATE). Make sure the problem occurs with the sample data you post.

Still problem with single-row subquery returns more than one row

I want to show Expense_id with retruning rows using the above query.
ex)The result of the query is like that;

Update column with subquery returning more than one row

Hi Everybody,
Please let me know how to handle this. I am writing update statement in procedure with subquery and it is returning multiple rows. Please help me, how i can handle this :
UPDATE TABLEA A
SET A.ERROR_MESSAGE = (Select B.XERROR_MESSAGE from TABLEB B, TABLEA A WHERE B.id = A.id)
WHERE A.id = (Select B.id from TABLEB B, TABLEA A WHERE B.id = A.id);
(Select B.XERROR_MESSAGE from TABLEB B, TABLEA A WHERE B.id = A.id) --- This subquery is returning more than one rows. How i can handle this in Pl/SQL?
Please let me know. I will be very thankful to you all.
I will really appreciate your replies and comments.
Thank you

Try getting rid of tablea in your subqueries. You already have it in the UPDATE statement.
UPDATE TABLEA A
SET    A.ERROR_MESSAGE = (Select B.XERROR_MESSAGE
                          from   TABLEB B
                          WHERE B.id = A.id
WHERE A.id = (Select B.id
               from   TABLEB B
               WHERE B.id = A.id);You can also try a simple MERGE:
merge into tablea a
using tableb b
on    (a.id = b.id)
when matched then update
      set a.error_message = b.xerror_message;

Single Sub Row Query Returns More Than 1 Row!

I am trying to update values in a table from another table and getting the error: Single Sub Row Query Returns More Than 1 Row.
I want table B's PRV_NAME updated into table A's PRV_NAME where A.PRVID = B.PRVID where B.PRV_TYPE = M'
Both tables have all unique PRVID's, however, table B has PRVID's that have the same name. So table B data can look like this:
PRVID PRV_NAME
1234 PHOENIX MED
1235 SAC MED
1236 SAC MED
1237 OVERLAND
etc..
So, as you can see the PRVID's are unique, but not the PRV_NAME's. Is this the reason why I get this error?
I did not build the tables and have no control over what is put in them. If this is the reason for the error, is there any way to resolve this?
For reference, here is the query. Maybe there is something wrong with this?
update msb_prv_source ps
set ps.prv_name =
(select prv00.prv00_prv_name
from prv00_prv prv00
join msb_prv_source ps
on prv00.prv00_prv_id = ps.prvid
where prv00.prv00_prv_type = 'M')

(Depending on your data and your requirements, you might want to use MERGE rather than UPDATE).
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
In the case of a DML operation (such as UPDATE) the sample data should show what the tables are like before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) after the DML.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).

I see you've posted your code now:
update msb_prv_source ps
set ps.prv_name =
(select prv00.prv00_prv_name
from prv00_prv prv00
join msb_prv_source ps
on prv00.prv00_prv_id = ps.prvid
where prv00.prv00_prv_type = 'M')Even if ps.prvid is unique, the sub-query can return more than 1 row if prv00.prv00_prv_id is not unique. When that that's the case, what do you want to happen? Include examples when you post the sample data and desired results.

ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a question, please post some sample data, so that people can re-create the problem and test their solutions.
CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, like the ones below, are great:
CREATE TABLE      baemployee
(     employee     NUMBER (4)
,     stock_nbr     VARCHAR2 (10)
INSERT INTO baemployee (employee, stock_nbr) VALUES (1234, 'FUBAR');
CREATE TABLE     employee
(     employee     NUMBER (4)
,     emp_status     VARCHAR2 (10)
INSERT INTO employee (employee, emp_status) VALUES (1234, 'ACTIVE');CREATE TABLE AS is good, too:
CREATE TABLE     emp_check_dig
AS          SELECT 1234 AS employee, 'AA1234567890ZZZ' AS check_digit     FROM dual
UNION ALL     SELECT 1234,            'AA2121212121ZZZ'               FROM dual
;Also post the results you want from that data. In this case, the results would be the contents of the baemployee table after you run the UPDATE.
Would you want:
employee stock_nbr
1234       1234567890or would you want
employee stock_nbr
1234       2121212121If you run the UPDATE statement you posted with the data above, you'll get the "ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row" error, and you can see what causes it: there is more than one row from emp_check_dig that could be used to UPDATE the same row of baemployee. Say what you want to do in this situation (and why), and someone will help you find a way to do it.

ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row -- no solution

Hello to all:
I have to tables:
Table a anwender (Email,Dept). --> all fields are filled
Table b dingo (Name,email,dept) --> all fields are filled
I now want to update the table a with the data from table b:
update anwender a set a.abteilung = ( select distinct b.abteilung from dingo b where b.email = a.email);
Then I got the error: ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
Every dept is about 100x in the database, so it is clear that i got more than one row back. But how can I update the table now?

Okay, I got several duplicates, and I deletet a lot of data in my database.
Now I want to remove all entries with more than one departments per mail adresses.
a
select email,count(abteilung) from dingo group by email having count(abteilung)>1 order by count(abteilung)
shows me all the fake mailadresses.
But a
delete from dingo where email in (select email,count(abteilung) from dingo group by email having count(abteilung)>1 order by count(abteilung) );
gives me a
SQL Error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
I´m very confused now ...
Oops, now I got the solution:
delete from dingo where email in (select email from (select email,count(abteilung) from dingo group by email having count(abteilung)>1 )) ;

Automated row fetch returns more than one row

Greetings All,
Does anyone know of a way to call a page if the automated row fetch returns more than one row. I have a form with a primary and secondary key. If I search only on the primary key and there is more than one row I would like to call a popup with the multiple list, is this possible?
Regards
Mark

Create a view on a table you want to update if you have more than two key values.
However, the automated row fetch does support two key values.
