Can't have aggregate function in WHERE clause clause

Dear all,
I've created object in BO XI 3.1 Designer with following criterias:
http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/833/20111201124314.th.jpg
It is a simple number - 1,2,3,4,5.
Now I need to use this object as a criteria for WHERE function in another object.
http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/1543/20111201124717.th.jpg
I receive an error "Can't have aggregate function in WHERE clause <clause>"
How can I overcome this?
P.S. I'm sorry in advance if such topic already exist - I didn't found one.

Hi,
You will have to use Sub query to achieve this. Give more details on what is available and what you need then i could help you out with the complete solution.

How can we use DECODE function in where clause.

Hi Guys,
I have to use DECODE function in where clause.
like below

where a.tab1 = b.tab2
and decode(code, 'a','approved')
in this manner its not accepting?
Can any one help me on this or any other aproach?
Thanks

I am looking for to decode the actual db value something in different for my report.
like if A then Accepted
elseif R then Rejected
elseif D then Denied
these conditions I have to check in where clause.

what are you trying to do?
may be you are looking for
select * from tab1,tab2
where a.tab1 = b.tab2
and
   (decode(:code, 'A','Accepted') = <table_column>

User defined function in where IN clause

Hi,
I have a Function who returns in priview:
(1,2,3,4)
Now i am using this function in SQL where clause
Select from debug where id in debug.debug_process()
On execute select i am getiing ORA-01722 invalid number , i understand that functions return not only numbers but character symbols too '(,)'
Are it posible to use user defined function who do not return NUMBER in Where clause IN statement ? If not what tips can sugest me for getting list of values for use in IN Clause?
ID.
Thanks!

Hi,
Please try:
You can use SYS REFCURSOR for return your data.
create or replace function get_debug return sys_refcursor is
     v_rc sys_refcursor;
   begin
     open v_rc for 'select * from debug where id in '|| debug.debug_process();
     return v_rc;
   end;
Function created.
Now, if we look at using this through SQL*Plus we first create ourselves a ref cursor variable to accept the results of the function, and then call the function to get the ref cursor back..
SQL> var rc refcursor
SQL> exec :rc := get_debug ;
SQL> print rc;

Can you use boolean function in where clause

Hi,
I have a boolean function. Is it possible to use it in where clause of query.

Aggregate functions without group by clause

hi friends,
i was asked an interesting question by my friend. The question is...
There is a DEPT table which has dept_no and dept_name. There is an EMP table which has emp_no, emp_name and dept_no.
My requirement is to get the the dept_no, dept_name and the no. of employees in that department. This should be done without using a group by clause.
Can anyone of you help me to get a solution for this?

Can we have javascript function in the HTML header of Page 0

Hello,
I want to have a javascript function implemented on page zero, Can anyone help me out with this issue.
Thanks,
Orton

There is no HTML Header on Page Zero. The equivalent would be to use the page template.
It's also possible to place JavaScript in HTML regions on Page Zero, but I wouldn't consider this a good practice. JavaScript is better kept in external files and referenced using the SRC attribute.

Can I have unique function and variable names with createjs when publsihing from Flash?

Hey everyone!
I have recently started using the Toolkit for CreateJS exporter for turning small button icon animations, made in Flash, into content for HTML5. I have created 3 seperate icon '.fla' files that animate when rolled over.
With this example tag added into my html5 document, the animation works fine:
<canvas id="about_btn" width="85" height="70" style="background-color:#FFF"></canvas>
However, once I have added more than one canvas tags, only one icon would appear on screen:
<canvas id="about_btn" width="85" height="70" style="background-color:#FFF"></canvas>
<canvas id="news_btn" width="85" height="70" style="background-color:#FFF"></canvas>
<canvas id="contact_btn" width="85" height="70" style="background-color:#FFF"></canvas>
I found out that the JavaScript files that were generated with each '.fla' file were conflicting because they were all using the same variable and function names (ex. stage, canvas, init(), etc.). Is there a way for me to publish the JavaScript from Flash with document specific variable and function names? (ex. about_stage, about_canvas, about_init())
A work around methood that I can currently using is putting each <canvas> tag into it's own iFrame.
Thanks again for the help!
-DJ

The JS asset libraries should not conflict with each other, unless there are symbols with the same names. Even then, you can change the Symbols namespace for each FLA to prevent collisions.
It sounds like you're trying to copy/paste the code out of the preview HTML. It's not really designed for this, and it will lead to name collisions. You'll either want to rewrite this logic in your own HTML (using the preview code as a reference), or rename the variables as appropriate after you copy/paste.
Best,
Grant.

Why doesn't PIVOT clause work with COLLECT aggregate function in 11g ?

Hello all !
I am really puzzled as to what is considered an aggregate function in the context of the PIVOT clause in 11g.
I have been toying with quite a few things related to collections lately and this arose as an aside :
CREATE TABLE TEST_COLL
   NODE_ID    VARCHAR2(15 CHAR) NOT NULL,
   NODE_VALUE VARCHAR2(45 CHAR) NOT NULL,
   NODE_LEVEL NUMBER(1)         NOT NULL
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TREE_NODE AS OBJECT
   NODE_KEY VARCHAR2( 15 CHAR),
   NODE_NAME VARCHAR2(127 CHAR)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TREE_NODES AS TABLE OF TREE_NODE NOT NULL;At this stage I am sure we all agree that the query
SELECT NODE_LEVEL,
       CAST(COLLECT(TREE_NODE(NODE_ID, NODE_VALUE)) AS TREE_NODES) AS NODES
FROM TEST_COLL
GROUP BY NODE_LEVEL;is perfectly valid as the COLLECT function is an aggregate function according to the [Official Documentation|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10592/functions031.htm#i1271564]
But then, one of the following two queries should work
SELECT CAST(REGION_NODES     AS TREE_NODES) AS REGIONS,
       CAST(DEPARTMENT_NODES AS TREE_NODES) AS DEPARTMENTS,
       CAST(AREA_NODES       AS TREE_NODES) AS AREAS,
       CAST(CENTRE_NODES     AS TREE_NODES) AS CENTRES
FROM (SELECT NODE_LEVEL, TREE_NODE(NODE_ID, NODE_VALUE) AS NODE
          FROM TREE_COLL
PIVOT (COLLECT(NODE) FOR NODE_LEVEL IN (1 AS REGION_NODES,
                                         2 AS DEPARTMENT_NODES,
                                         3 AS AREA_NODES,
                                         4 AS CENTRE_NODES
or (better)
SELECT REGION_NODES     AS REGIONS,
       DEPARTMENT_NODES AS DEPARTMENTS,
       AREA_NODES       AS AREAS,
       CENTRE_NODES     AS CENTRES
FROM (SELECT NODE_LEVEL, TREE_NODE(NODE_ID, NODE_VALUE) AS NODE
          FROM TREE_COLL
PIVOT (CAST(COLLECT(NODE) AS TREE_NODES) FOR NODE_LEVEL IN (1 AS REGION_NODES,
                                                             2 AS DEPARTMENT_NODES,
                                                             3 AS AREA_NODES,
                                                             4 AS CENTRE_NODES
       );yet, both fail with
ORA-56902: expect aggregate function inside pivot operationInvestigating further, I found the same behaviour when using XMLAGG as the aggregate function in the PIVOT clause.
Is this normal ? And if it is, is there any other way to achieve the result I was anticipating ?

Most likely a bug. But you can bypass it by using any other aggregate making sure group consists of a single row and apply collect to a pivoted value. Yes, the cost is double aggregation. And also there is another cost - you would need to create MAP member function otherwise aggreations like MAX/MIN, etc. will not work:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TREE_NODE AS OBJECT
   NODE_KEY VARCHAR2( 15 CHAR),
   NODE_NAME VARCHAR2(127 CHAR),
   map member function f return varchar2
Type created.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY TREE_NODE AS
map member function f return varchar2 is
begin
     return NODE_NAME;
end f;
end;
Type body created.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TREE_NODES AS TABLE OF TREE_NODE NOT NULL
Type created.

Aggregate function using DB adapter

Is it possible to use aggrgeate functions like count and things like ROWNUM using the DBAdapter wizard in BPEL 10.1.2 ?
For Example how can I configure a query like
Select * from emp where ROWNUM<500

hi all,
i think there is no way to define external functions like ROWNUM and all in bpel 10.1.2 as we can not write manual sql query in expression block and expression builder don't have aggregate functions .
But, in 10.1.3 we can write any sql query in expression and it is working fine.
Is it a bug in 10.1.2?

Analytic function and aggregate function

What are analytic function and aggregate function. What is difference between them?

hi,
Analytic Functions :----------
Analytic functions compute an aggregate value based on a group of rows. They differ from aggregate functions in that they return multiple rows for each group. The group of rows is called a window and is defined by the analytic_clause. For each row, a sliding window of rows is defined. The window determines the range of rows used to perform the calculations for the current row. Window sizes can be based on either a physical number of rows or a logical interval such as time.
Analytic functions are the last set of operations performed in a query except for the final ORDER BY clause. All joins and all WHERE, GROUP BY, and HAVING clauses are completed before the analytic functions are processed. Therefore, analytic functions can appear only in the select list or ORDER BY clause.
Analytic functions are commonly used to compute cumulative, moving, centered, and reporting aggregates.
Aggregate Functions :----------
Aggregate functions return a single result row based on groups of rows, rather than on single rows. Aggregate functions can appear in select lists and in ORDER BY and HAVING clauses. They are commonly used with the GROUP BY clause in a SELECT statement, where Oracle Database divides the rows of a queried table or view into groups. In a query containing a GROUP BY clause, the elements of the select list can be aggregate functions, GROUP BY expressions, constants, or expressions involving one of these. Oracle applies the aggregate functions to each group of rows and returns a single result row for each group.
If you omit the GROUP BY clause, then Oracle applies aggregate functions in the select list to all the rows in the queried table or view. You use aggregate functions in the HAVING clause to eliminate groups from the output based on the results of the aggregate functions, rather than on the values of the individual rows of the queried table or view.
let me know if you are feeling any problem in understanding.
thanks.

Aggregate fuction with group by clause

Hello,
Following is assignment is given but i dont get correct output
so please i am request to all of us write code to solve my problem.
There can be multiple records for one customer in VBAK tables with different combinations.
Considering that we do not need details of each sales order,
use Aggregate functions with GROUP BY clause in SELECT to read the fields.
<garbled code removed>
Moderator Message: Please paste the relevant portions of the code
Edited by: Suhas Saha on Nov 18, 2011 1:48 PM

So if you need not want all the repeated records, then you select all the values to an Internal table,
and declare an internal table of same type and Usee COLLECT
for ex:
itab1 type <xxxx>.
wa_itba like line of itab1.
itab2 type <xxxx>. "<-This should be same type of above.
select * from ..... into table itab1.
and now...
loop at itab1 into wa_itab.
collect wa_itab1 into itab2.
endloop.
then you will get your desired result..

Aggregate functions in EJBQL ???

Does the latest version of Oracle App server support aggregate functions like SUM/COUNT/AVG in the EJBQL?

Does the latest version of Oracle App server support aggregate functions like SUM/COUNT/AVG in the EJBQL? Hi Swami --
The latest version of Oracle9iAS - v903 is J2EE 1.3 compatible so it supports all of the EJB 2.0 specification.
The EJB 2.0 specification lists the following functions for EJBQL:
String Functions:
CONCAT(String, String) returns a String
SUBSTRING(String, start, length) returns a String
LOCATE(String, String [, start]) returns an int
LENGTH(String) returns an int
Arithmetic Functions:
ABS(number) returns a number (int, float, or double)
SQRT(double) returns a double
The latest version of the EJB 2.1 specification which will be part of J2EE 1.4, has added support for aggregate functions like orderby, sum, count, etc.
11.2.7.2 Aggregate Functions in the SELECT Clause
The result of an EJB QL query may be the result of an aggregate function applied to a path expression.
The following aggregate functions can be used in the SELECT clause of an EJB QL query: AVG,
COUNT, MAX, MIN, SUM.
We will support these when the EJB 2.1 specification is finalized and we produce our J2EE 1.4 compatible implementation.
