Grouping select statement

Hi! I'm running this query on oracle :
"select e.userid, d.accountno from userpasswords e, account d where e.tin = d.tin" ,
but when I sort or group them according to the userids, i kept on getting errors. Does anyone here know what I missed?

It works for me.

  • Count(*) in select statement having group by clause

    Hi
    I would like to use count(*) in select statement having group by clause. say for example there is a state with a number of cities listed. I would like to get the count of cities for each state.
    the sql stement is grouped by city and it is joined with 5 more tables.
    Thanks

    I suspect you want to look into analytic functions (assuming you have a recent version of Oracle). asktom.oracle.com has numerous examples if you do a search.

  • Count(*) function in select statement having group by condition

    Hi
    I would like to use count(*) in select statement having group by clause. say for example there is a state with a number of cities listed. I would like to get the count of cities for each state.
    the sql stement is grouped by state and it is joined with 5 more tables.
    Thanks
    ps: ignore the previous post

    Assuming there is one record per city per state, then
    SELECT state,count(*)
    FROM state_tbl
    GROUP BY stateWill get one record per state with the number of cities in each state. If you want to join that result set to other tables you need to either create a view with that statement or use an in-line view viz.
    SELECT c.cust_name,c.state,s.num_cities
    FROM customers c,
         (SELECT state,count(*) num_cities
          FROM state_tbl
          GROUP BY state) s
    WHERE c.state = s.stateTTFN

  • Group By Select Statement aggregate function error.

    I am using Dreamweaver MX4 and have an ASP web page. I can easily do this in Access 2007 a simple "group by" sum totals statement.
    Why can I not get this to work on a web page? Are the "#" signs messing this up in the Code2 Select Statement?
    How can I get Code2 to work correctly? Code1 works fine. A user enters the customer and a date range on a form and submits request. I get error message in Dreamweaver. You tried to execute a query where the specified expression field3 is not part of an aggregate function
    Code1. This works fine SELECT Field3, Field10, SUM(Field16) as SumofField16 FROM CustomerHistory_CP WHERE Field3 LIKE '%Search_Criteria%' AND Field6 >= #1/2/09# AND Field6 <= #1/30/09#  GROUP BY Field3, Field10

  • SQL column as select statement to be referenced into a group by

    Hi,
    Assign the alias in a sub-query. Then you'll be able to use it wherever you want to, and how many times you want to, in a super-query.
    For example:
    WITH     got_vendor     AS
         SELECT     hdr.business_unit
                  SELECT  v.name1
                  FROM    ps_vendor     v
                  WHERE   strm.vendor_id     = v.vendor_id
                  AND     v.setid          = (
                                                SELECT  setid
                                        FROM    ps_set_cntrl_rec
                                        WHERE   recname          = 'VENDOR'
                                        AND     setcntrlvalue      = strm.business_unit
              )           AS vendor_name
         FROM      ps_qs_sessn_hdr8     hdr
    SELECT       business_unit          -- NOTE: no hdr.; all columns are from got_vendor now
    ,       vendor
    FROM       got_vendor
    GROUP BY  business_unit
    ,       vendor
    ;When you define an alias (such as vendor) in a query, you can use that alias in the ORDER BY clause of that same query, but that's the only place in that same query where you can use it. If you want to use the alias anywhere else (e.g., in the GROUP BY clause, as in your example, the WHERE clause, or elsewhere in the SELECT clause), then you probably want to compute it in a sub-query, as shown above.
    There's probably a better way to compute vendor, but that's a separate problem.

  • What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

    Hi All,
             What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
    for example
    SELECT kostl
          FROM pa0001
          INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
          WHERE pernr EQ pernr
          AND endda GE sy-datum.
        ENDSELECT.
    I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
    please help me out...
    Thanks,
    santosh.

    Hi,
    Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
    The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
    The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.

  • If I want to order by dateAdded to I have to include it in the select statement like

    If I do this:
    <cfquery name="chart" datasource="#datasource#">
    select behaviourID,score, dateAdded2 = convert(varchar,
    dateAdded , 101)
    from staff_charts_data
    where userID =
    <cfqueryparam value="#arguments.userID#"
    cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"> AND
    NOT score = 5
    </cfquery>
    If I want to order by dateAdded to I have to include it in
    the select statement like so:
    <cfquery name="chart" datasource="#datasource#">
    select behaviourID,score, dateAdded2 = convert(varchar,
    dateAdded , 101),dateAdded
    from staff_charts_data
    where userID =
    <cfqueryparam value="#arguments.userID#"
    cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"> AND
    NOT score = 5
    </cfquery>

    you should be able to order by dateAdded without it being in
    the select clause. The only time the order by field has to be in
    the select clause is when your query has an aggregate and group by
    clause, like this:
    select field1, field2, max(field3) as youralias
    from sometables
    where whatever
    group by field1, field2
    order by ???
    You can only order field1, field2, max(field3) or youralias.
    You can't order by field4.

  • Return multiple values from a function to a SELECT statement

    I hope I've provided enough information here. If not, just let me know what I'm missing.
    I am creating a view that will combine information from a few tables. Most of it is fairly straightforward, but there are a couple of columns in the view that I need to get by running a function within a package. Even this is fairly straightforward (I have a function named action_date in a package called rp, for instance, which I can use to return the date I need via SELECT rp.action_date(sequence_number).
    Here's the issue: I actually need to return several bits of information from the same record (not just action_date, but also action_office, action_value, etc.) - a join of the tables won't work here as I'll explain below. I can, of course, run a separate function for each statement but that is obviously inefficient. Within the confines of the view select statement however, I'm not sure how to return each of the values I need.
    For instance, right now, I have:
    Table1:
    sequence_number NUMBER(10),
    name VARCHAR(30),
    Table2:
    Table1_seq NUMBER(10),
    action_seq NUMBER(10),
    action_date DATE,
    action_office VARCHAR(3),
    action_value VARCHAR(60),
    I can't simply join Table1 and Table2 because I have to do some processing in order to determine which of the matching returned rows I actually need to select. So the package opens a cursor and processes each row until it finds the one that I need.
    The following works but is inefficient since all of the calls to the package will return columns from the same record. I just don't know how to return all the values I need into the SELECT statement.
    CREATE VIEW all_this_stuff AS
    SELECT sequence_number, name,
    rp.action_date(sequence_number) action_date,
    rp.action_office(sequence_number) action_office,
    rp.action_value(sequence_number) action_value
    FROM table1
    Is there a way to return multiple values into my SELECT statement or am I going about this all wrong?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks so much!

    Hi,
    What you want is a Top-N Query , which you can do using the analytic ROW_NUMBER function in a sub-query, like this:
    WITH     got_rnum     AS
         SELECT     action_seq, action_dt, action_office, action_type, action_value
         ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( ORDER BY  action_date
                                   ,            action_seq
                             ,            action_serial
                           ) AS rnum
         FROM     table2
         WHERE     action_code     = 'AB'
         AND     action_office     LIKE 'E'     -- Is this right?
    SELECT     action_seq, action_dt, action_office, action_type, action_value
    FROM     got_rnum
    WHERE     rnum     = 1
    ;As written, this will return (at most) one row.
    I suspect you'll really want to get one row for each group , where a group is defined by some value in a table to which you're joining.
    In that case, add a PARTITION BY clause to the ROW_NUMBER function.
    If you'd post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), I could show you exactly how.
    Since I don't have your tables, I'll show you using tables in the scott schema.
    Here's a view that has data from the scott.dept table and also from scott.emp, but only for the most senior employee in each department (that is, the employee with the earliest hiredate). If there happens to be a tie for the earliest hiredate, then the contender with the lowest empno is chosen.
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW     senior_emp
    AS
    WITH     got_rnum     AS
         SELECT     d.deptno
         ,     d.dname
         ,     e.empno
         ,     e.ename
         ,     e.hiredate
         ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  d.deptno
                                   ORDER BY          e.hiredate
                             ,                e.empno
                           ) AS rnum
         FROM     scott.dept     d
         JOIN     scott.emp     e     ON     d.deptno     = e.deptno
    SELECT     deptno
    ,     dname
    ,     empno
    ,     ename
    ,     hiredate
    FROM     got_rnum
    WHERE     rnum     = 1
    SELECT     *
    FROM     senior_emp
    ;Output:
    .    DEPTNO DNAME               EMPNO ENAME      HIREDATE
            10 ACCOUNTING           7782 CLARK      09-JUN-81
            20 RESEARCH             7369 SMITH      17-DEC-80
            30 SALES                7499 ALLEN      20-FEB-81 
    By the way, one of the conditions in the query you posted was
    action_office     LIKE 'E'which is equivalent to
    action_office     = 'E'(LIKE is always equivalent to = if the string after LIKE doesn't contain any wildcards.)
    Did you mean to say that, or did you mean something like this:
    action_office     LIKE 'E%'instead?

    Nice point there Siegfried. Instead of giving constructive suggestion, people here give a very bad suggestion on using SELECT SINGLE combined with SUM and GROUP BY.
    I hope the person already look at your reply before he try using select single and wondering why he has error.
    Anyway, the most important thing is how many loop expected for those select statements?
    If you have like thousands of loop, you can expect a poor performance.
    So, you should also look at how many times the select statement is called and not only performance for each select statement when you're doing SQL trace.

       ORDER BY 2 DESC;I have written the query to get the latest 12 months data from a table and split that into 4 quarter to show in the Cognos Report. But when the table having 13th or the past months data, the select statement is showing Empty values in the first two columns and fetching the 13 month data too.
    Can anyone help me in this to avoid the problem.
    Thanks

  • Questions on select statement in the data model

    Hi,
    In the select statement, the order by statement seems only to work at the lowest level of the select statement. Is this true?
    What is the the purpose of the group by statement in the select statement?
    As far as I understand, the grouping is catered for in the data model.....
    Regards,
    Kin

    From the oracle report docs:
    The order of column values in a default group is
    determined by the ORDER BY clause of the query for
    SQL queries and by the sort column for Express queries.
    For column values in user-created groups, however, you
    must use Break Order to specify how to order the break
    column's values.So order by in your sql query is affected by groups in your data model.
    The purpose of a group by statement in your select statement is to group values for aggregation purposes, like
    select department_id,
           min(salary),
           max (salary)
      from employees
    group
        by department_id
    order
        by department_id;Grouping in the data model of a report is a little different than a group by clause, but not entirely.

  • Index not being used in Select statement

    Friends
    I have the following SQL statement:
    SELECT
    a.acct,
    a.date_field,
    UPPER(b.feegroup) feegrp,
    SUM (a.fee1) fee1,
    SUM (a.fee2) fee2,
    SUM (a.fee3) fee3
    FROM table1 a, table2 b
    WHERE 1 = 1
    AND a.fee_id = b.fee_id
    GROUP BY a.acct, a.date_field, b.feegroup;
    Both the tables have index on fee_id column. When I run the explain plan for this statement, I am getting the following output:
    Operation | Option | Object Name | Position
    SELECT STATEMENT | | | 560299
    HASH | GROUP BY| |1
    TABLE ACCESS | FULL| table2 | 1
    TABLE ACCESS | FULL| table1 | 2
    Why Oracle is not using the index?
    Edited by: darshilm on Dec 10, 2009 3:56 PM

    The proposed plan is the optimal according to your current conditions in the "where clause" where you have only the equality join condition and therefore the CBO can use HASH JOIN. Using any kind of index access would just increase the amount of required work unless you would add some very restrictive conditions which will select rows from relatively small amount of blocks. Here I have to mention that what really counts in the CBO cost calculation is the amount of blocks accessed and not the number of rows. The "currency" for I/O in Oracle is a block and not a row. CBO always uses an assumption that there is nothing in the buffer cache and it will have to perform a physical read for every block.
    How many blocks will actually be accessed depends on the data distribution. It can happen that every single row that you have to retrieve resides in a different block and although you access only 1000 rows out of a million row table you would have to visit almost every block of that table. For such a situation a FULL TABLE SCAN is the best access path and Oracle will use multiblock I/O for that. On the other side you can have those 1000 rows only in a few blocks and then the index access would be the most appropriate one. For index access Oracle uses single block I/O. Usually the actual situation is somewhere between this two extreme situations. But you can run some tests by yourself and see when an index access will be replaced by a full table scan while you will make your predicates less selective.
