Adding columns in Group by clause

Hi ,
My query is like that ,
Select empid , sum(sal) from emp group by empid ,
I want additional columns to be listed in the query
select empid , address , sum(sal) from group by empid
Is there any possible way to include other columns apart from group by column .
Thanks

ThanksYou asking this question makes mee feel you cant visualize how group by works. Based on your query see the example below.
You have a table emp with values like this
empid     address     sal
1         A           10
1         B           20
1         C           30now when i query like this
select empid, sum(sal) from emp group by empidwhat i will get?
empid     sal
1         60So now i add address to the select list
select empid, sum(sal), address from emp group by empidNow you say which address should be taken. Its A, B or C?
If you can answer this question we can tell how you can achieve it.

Select not working with Case unless adding field to group by clause

Hi, I have a simple query that I am trying to run. The first version runs, but I am trying to get the second version to run, because I do not want to have to include PAYRCORD in the Group By. Since I do not want it grouped by PAYRCORD.
Is there a way to write the second version to work?
---- First Version ---
SELECT     TOP (100) PERCENT YEAR1, EMPLOYID, PAYRCORD,
CASE WHEN (dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD LIKE '%OT%' AND NOT (dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD LIKE 'OTHER'))
                      THEN SUM(DISTINCT dbo.tw80507.TwOriginalTaxableWages) ELSE NULL END AS OT,
CASE WHEN dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD NOT LIKE '%OT%'
                      THEN SUM(DISTINCT dbo.tw80507.TwOriginalTaxableWages) ELSE NULL END AS REG
FROM         dbo.TW80507
GROUP BY YEAR1, EMPLOYID, PYRLRTYP, PAYRCORD
HAVING      (YEAR1 > 2013) AND (PYRLRTYP = 3)
ORDER BY YEAR1
--- Second Version ---
SELECT     TOP (100) PERCENT YEAR1, EMPLOYID,
CASE WHEN (dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD LIKE '%OT%' AND NOT (dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD LIKE 'OTHER'))
                      THEN SUM(DISTINCT dbo.tw80507.TwOriginalTaxableWages) ELSE NULL END AS OT,
CASE WHEN dbo.tw80507.PAYRCORD NOT LIKE '%OT%'
                      THEN SUM(DISTINCT dbo.tw80507.TwOriginalTaxableWages) ELSE NULL END AS REG
FROM         dbo.TW80507
GROUP BY YEAR1, EMPLOYID, PYRLRTYP
HAVING      (YEAR1 > 2013) AND (PYRLRTYP = 3)
ORDER BY YEAR1

Put the CASE inside the SUM.
I also cleaned up your query by removing an excess of prefixes, making the code difficult to read, and I replaced HAVING with WHERE. (You use HAVING WHEN you need to filter on an aggregate value, for instance HAVING COUNT(*) > 2.) Finally, I removed the
DISTINCT from the SUM, because that looked, well, funny.
SELECT  YEAR1, EMPLOYID,
   SUM(CASE WHEN PAYRCORD LIKE '%OT%' AND NOT (PAYRCORD LIKE 'OTHER')
THEN TwOriginalTaxableWages)
ELSE 0
   END) AS OT,
SUM(CASE WHEN PAYRCORD NOT LIKE '%OT%'
                 THEN TwOriginalTaxableWages
   ELSE 0
END AS) REG
FROM    dbo.TW80507
WHERE   YEAR1 > 2013
   AND PYRLRTYP = 3
GROUP BY YEAR1, EMPLOYID
ORDER BY YEAR1

More than 1 column in the group by clause

DB Version:10gR2
I understand the basics of GROUP BY clause. I have a question on why we have on more than 1 columns in GROUP BY clause.
In the below example, the course name by itself does not make up a group. A Course name plus its BeginDate make up a group. This is the whole point of having more than 1 columns in the GROUP by clause. Right?
SQL> select r.course, r.begindate , count(r.attendee) as attendees
3   from registrations r
4   group by r.course, r.begindate

Thanks Dmorgan. I am just learning the basics of GROUP BY clause. I have noticed that all Non-aggregate columns in SELECT list have to be present in the GROUP BY clause. I thought it was a "syntactical requirement". Now, i realise that these columns are present in the GROUP BY clause because only a combination of columns make up a group.Well, it is a bit of both actually. It is a syntactic requirement that all non-aggregated columns in the select list must appear in the group by clause. However, the non-aggregated columns in the select list is what defines your group. Your two examples define two different groups, and would answer two different questions.

Reg - Search Form for a VO with group by clause

Hi,
I have a Bar graph that displays data based on the Query below.
SELECT STATUS.STATUS_ID AS STATUSID,STATUS.STATUS,COUNT(SR.SERVICEREQUEST_ID) AS SRCOUNT
FROM SERVICE_REQUEST SR ,SERVICEREQUESTSTATUS STATUS
WHERE SR.STATUS_ID = STATUS.STATUS_ID
GROUP BY STATUS.STATUS_ID,STATUS.STATUS,SR.STATUS_ID
It displays the count of SRs against a particular status.
Now I need to add a search form to this graph with customer and date range.
So we need to add the line below to the where clause.
"SR.CUSTOMER_ID = :customerId AND SR.REQUESTED_ON BETWEEN :fromDate and :toDate"
But the columns SR.CUSTOMER_ID, SR.REQUESTED_ON also need to be added to the select clause to create the View criteria for search panel.
The two columns should also need to be added to the group by clause if we are to add them in the select clause.
This would not produce the expected results.
How do I create a search form with the criterias applied only at the where clause.Please help.
With Regards,
Guna

The [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16162_01/apirefs.1112/e17483/oracle/jbo/server/ViewObjectImpl.html]ViewObjectImpl has methods for doing this programmatically (setQuery, defineNamedWhereClauseParam, setNamedWhereClauseParam) that you can use to manipulate the query, the bind variables expected, and the values for the binds.

Group by clause will try to group the primay key's

hi all,
For my requiremments and to avoid the the subquery i am using join and group by clause in my sql query in oracle 10g r2 database.my question is if i put a primary column the group clause then oracle try to group the records?.
i know if we use a primary key column in group by clause there is no grouping will occur.
but i have doubt oracle will try to group ? because it will take some amount of time to achive?
else due presense of primay key column in group by clause oracle won't try?
Please advice ??

My query return the records less then the min v_date(date datatype) column.
i check this condition in having clause
my old query is
select emp_id,emp_name,voldate,volume,productivity
from volume v1
where v1.voldate<=(select min(v2.voldate) form volume v2 where v2.emp_id=1)
and v1.emp_id=1
i change it as
select emp_id,emp_name,voldate,volume,productivity
from volume v1,volume v2
where v1.emp_id=v2.emp_id
having v1.voldate<=min(v2. voldate)
group by emp_id,emp_name,voldate,volume,productivity
above the query's emp_id is primay key for volume table
comparing both query's which one is the best while looking th response time.
else any other alternative for both the queries.??

The order of the columns in GROUP BY doesn`t matter? why?

I did a little test and find out that the order of the columns in GROUP BY does not matter to ORACLE.
Why? How does oracle do GROUP BY exactly?
Could anyone show me its processing logic? maybe in pseudo-code?
Thanks in advance.

I mean,
I thought oracle would group data based on the order of the columns in the GROUP BY LIST.
For example: for select deptno, job, count(*) from emp group by deptno, job;
I thought, oracle first would group the data based on deptno (10,20,30), e.g. in deptno=30, we got 6 employees.
and then, group this 6 employees based on JOB (CLERK, SALESMAN, MANAGER).and
for select job, deptno, count(*) from emp group by job, deptno;
first would group the data based on JOB (CLERK, SALESMAN, MANAGER) e.g., for CLERK, we got 4 employees,
and then, group this 4 employees based on deptno (10,20, 30).and to me, it seems that in some circumstances, their result could be different.
So, I wonder if the order of the columns in GROUP BY Clause matter?

Conditional GROUP BY clause

Hi,
I have four columns in group by clause. I want to add conditional group by clause.
Case 1 : If one of the column's value is null, I don't want to include it in group by clause. Means, Now GROUP BY clause will have only 3 columns.
Case 2 : If not null, then GROUP BY clause with all four columns.
Please help me out on this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I think it won't matter, all group functions by default ignore NULLs so your result won't differ.

Columns not to be included in group by clause

I have a select query where i need to display count of records group by state_name
In my main select query i need to include two more columns which are not be included in group by clause so that the number of records displayed does not increase
I need to pass all these values from front end application so that i get count of records only by statename
But when i include these two columns in my select query my query is throwing an error bcoz i have not included them in my group by
How can we prevent this by not adding it to group by clause

One general approach is (using the emp dept example)
I want
deptno dname, count(distinct empno)
I can do that
select d.deptno, d.dname, count(distinct e.empno)
from dept d, emp e
where e.deptno=d.deptno
group by d.deptno, d.dname;
or
select d.deptno, d.dname, count_emp
from dept d,
(select e.deptno, count(distinct empno)
from emp e
group by e.deptno
where d.deptno = e.deptno
or depending on version (you don't mention versionk, though most questions have version dependent answers)
select deptno
, dname
, (select count(distinct empno) from emp e where e.deptno=d.deptno)
from dept d
Obviously you can also use the FIRST and the LAST function to avoid having to include a column in the GROUP BY clause.

Adding subquery to query w/ Group By clause crashes

Hello all! I am trying to add in the subquery to the statement below. The query works fine before I add in the subquery, but after adding the subquery it will time out. If I comment out the MIN(table1.EOD_DATE) and the Group By clause, the query works fine.
I do not want to do this I need those two items. What am I missing here? Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!

Some untested comments;
AND floor(table1.acct/10000) in (6,8)
AND SUBSTR(table1.acct,3) != '000'Can these two conditions be combined, ie is this the same as;
AND (table1.acct LIKE '0006%' OR table1.acct LIKE '0008%')Ignoring the hard coded dates (assumed they where used for testing) you should avoid using implicit conversions and two digit years;
AND trans.activity_date BETWEEN TO_CHAR('01-jan-2007', 'dd-mon-yyyy') AND TO_CHAR('01-feb-2007', 'dd-mon-yyyy')You can convert your parameters once rather than converting every row by making hte parameter match the column data type;
AND (   trans.po_no IS NULL
     OR req.open_date BETWEEN TO_DATE('01-JAN-' || TO_CHAR(:p_year,'9999') || ' 00:00:00' ,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
                          AND TO_DATE('31-DEC-' || TO_CHAR(:p_year,'9999') || ' 23:59:59' ,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')

How to ORDER BY Different column than in the group by clause.

Hello, I have this sql statement
SELECT COUNT([Tags]) AS CNT, [Tags]
FROM [Tags], [Images]
WHERE
([Images].[Tags] LIKE '%' + [Tags].[LongTag] + '%') AND
([Tags].AllowTagPost = 'True' )
GROUP BY [Images].[Tags]
HAVING COUNT([Tags]) > 30
ORDER BY [Tags].[LastTagPost] DESC
It returns the tags, the number of occurances sorted by count. However, I want to sort it by a column in the Tags table named LastTagPost (DATETIME) The idea is to get the tag that hasn't been used in the longest time and also has more occurances
than 30 in the image table. When I try to order by this column i get an error that i'm sure most of you are all to familer with.
Error:
Column "Tags.LastTagPost" is invalid in the ORDER BY clause because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Couldn't you just include the LastTagPost as a MIN?
DECLARE @tags TABLE (LastTagPost DATETIME, LongTag VARCHAR(100), allowTagPost CHAR(5))
DECLARE @images TABLE (tags VARCHAR(10))
SELECT COUNT(i.Tags) AS CNT, i.Tags, MIN(t.LastTagPost) AS lastTagPost
FROM @Tags t
INNER JOIN @Images i
ON i.Tags LIKE '%' + t.LongTag + '%'
WHERE t.AllowTagPost = 'True'
GROUP BY i.Tags
HAVING COUNT(i.Tags) > 30
ORDER BY LastTagPost DESC

Select columns not in group by clause

Hi Guys,
I want to fetch columns from a table which are not in group by clause. The catch here is that I also need a count and decode column..
SELECT col_A, col_B, decode(col_C, '10', '10', '26', '26', '00') col_CT, col_X, col_Y count(*) CNT
FROM TABLE_T
WHERE col_B IN (100,101,102) AND col_C IN ('44','45','10','26')
GROUP BY col_A, col_B, decode(col_C, '10', '10', '26', '26', '00')
ORDER BY col_CT
Since, col_X and col_Y are not in GROUP BY clause, it throws error. Also, decode/count of the columns makes it more complex.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,
Amy

Hi, Amy,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statments, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Always say which versionof Oracle you're using.
How to do what youy want depends on what you want, which is unclear.
If you say "GROUP BY a, b, c", that means you only want one row of output for each distinct combination of a, b and c. How do x and y fit into that? Do you want a separate output row for each distinct combination of a, b,c, x and y? Then add x and y to the GROUP BY clause. If you don't want separate rows for each combinataion of x and y, what do you want when a group has more than 1 value for either of them?
You can simplify the code a little by doing the DECODE in a sub-query; then you can use the alias col_ct as many times as you like in the main query. That will make the code easier to maintain, too.

What should I do in the query to display the result set as follows:

Hi,
That's a display issue, and display issues are best handled by the front end.
What is your frone end?
If it's SQL*Plus, you can use the BREAK command.
For example:
BREAK ON deptno     NODUPLICATES
SELECT       deptno
,       ename
FROM       scott.emp
ORDER BY deptno
,            ename
;Output:
`   DEPTNO ENAME
        10 CLARK
           KING
           MILLER
        20 ADAMS
           FORD
           JONES
           SCOTT
           SMITH
        30 ALLEN
           BLAKE
           JAMES
           MARTIN
           TURNER
           WARDNote that deptno is never NULL: KING and MILLER have deptno=10; but it doesn't show in the display, because it's the same as the deptno on the previous row.
NODUPLICATES is actually the default, so you could just say
BREAK ON deptnoThe BREAK command remains in force until you end the session (or un-do it, e.g. with "CLEAR BREAKS")
Remember to issue the BREAK command at least once in the session before running the query.
To get the same results in SQL, use the analytic ROW_NUMBER function.

GROUP BY clause diff in Sybase and Oracle

Hi,
I am migrating code from Sybase to Oracle and came across a strange issue which is widely known to others :)
In Sybase , one can use columns or calculations in the SELECT expressions that don't appear
in the GROUP BY clause of the query. Like
SELECT order.custid,customer.name,MAX(payments)
-> FROM order, customer
-> WHERE order.custid = customer.custid
-> GROUP BY order.custid;
works fine but for SQL we need to add customer.name to GROUP BY clause.
On the similar lines, here is my SQL query
INSERT INTO GTT_CTRT_recalc_proc
(id_fin_rec,
id_imnt,
id_instr_opn,
dt_instr_opn,
dt_opn,
dt_cls_loanet,
dt_prcss,
am_invst)
SELECT t1.id_fin_rec,
t1.id_imnt,
t1.id_instr_opn,
t1.dt_instr_opn,
t1.dt_opn,
NVL(t1.dt_cls_loanet, l_dt_to),
t1.dt_prcss,
SUM(t2.am_invst) + (0.123 * (1 - abs(sign(0 - SUM(t2.am_invst)))))
FROM GTT_CTRT_TEMP_recalc_process t1, GTT_CTRT_TEMP_recalc_process t2
WHERE t2.id <= t1.id
AND t2.id_imnt = t1.id_imnt
AND t2.id_instr_opn = t1.id_instr_opn
AND t2.dt_instr_opn = t1.dt_instr_opn
GROUP BY t1.id_imnt,
t1.id_instr_opn,
t1.dt_instr_opn,
t1.dt_opn,
t1.dt_cls_loanet,
t1.dt_prcss;
Which does not have t1.id_fin_rec in GROUP BY failing it in SQL.
I know that if I add this column in GROUP BY it will work fine but I am told to keep the functionality as it is as the result before and after adding the column would be diff of-course.
Please guide me about what can be done in this situation and is there any work around for this?
Thanks,
Aashish

That's a piece of nasty denormalisation. We shoudl also expect trouble we do stuff like that. Anyway, I think encapsulating the stuff from T2 into an inline view should sort you out....
INSERT INTO GTT_CTRT_recalc_proc
(id_fin_rec,
id_imnt,
id_instr_opn,
dt_instr_opn,
dt_opn,
dt_cls_loanet,
dt_prcss,
am_invst)
SELECT t1.id_fin_rec,
t1.id_imnt,
t1.id_instr_opn,
t1.dt_instr_opn,
t1.dt_opn,
NVL(t1.dt_cls_loanet, l_dt_to),
t1.dt_prcss,
, t2.total
FROM GTT_CTRT_TEMP_recalc_process t1
    , ( select id_imnt,
                id_instr_opn,
                dt_instr_opn,
                SUM(am_invst) + (0.123 * (1 - abs(sign(0 - SUM(am_invst))))) AS total
        FROM GTT_CTRT_TEMP_recalc_process
       GROUP BY id_imnt,
                       id_instr_opn,
                       dt_instr_opn ) t2
WHERE t2.id <= t1.id
AND t2.id_imnt = t1.id_imnt
AND t2.id_instr_opn = t1.id_instr_opn
AND t2.dt_instr_opn = t1.dt_instr_opn
GROUP BY t1.id_imnt,
t1.id_instr_opn,
t1.dt_instr_opn,
t1.dt_opn,
t1.dt_cls_loanet,
t1.dt_prcss;Cheers, APC

Forgot to include GROUP BY in the inline view

HOW TO ADD GROUP BY CLAUSE WHEN USING Jbo:Datatable

Would like to know if there are any provisions for adding a Group by clause so the data shown using DataTable Component cn be grouped.
eg:
Currently using DataTable component shows data as shown below.
Dept Name
10 ABC
10 DEF
10 PQR
20 XYZ
20 QQQ
Can this be done as shown bewlow
Dept Name
10 ABC
DEF
PQR
20 XYZ
QQQ
Thanks

Hi Sashi,
For a bc4j view object, the shape of the result set needs to be consistent. So, there can not be a groupby directly in the result set.
However, that does not prevent you from inserting a calculated column that performs a similar calculation.
Another mechanism might be to consider a master detail arrangement of the views where the master contains an aggregation of data from its children. You are then free to access and display this data as you choose.
Hope this helps,
Pete
