Help in group by function

Hi All
very simple one but i just confused by it . i just want to display the rows in group by function .
example
SQL> select user_full_name,last_login_date,email_address from comit_user group by company_code
its giving an error .
could some one please help me in this .
thanks in advance .

Hi there,
Group by is used with group functions such as SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN, etc
eg. select job, sum(sal) from emp group by job;
JOB SUM(SAL)
ANALYST 6000
CLERK 4150
MANAGER 8275
PRESIDENT 5000
SALESMAN 5600
In your query, it looks like you need to use ORDER BY instead
select user_full_name,last_login_date,email_address from comit_user
ORDER BY company_code

John

Sort order for group by functions

I have table TAB1(notenum number, linenum number, linetext varchar2(100)).
Each note can have multiple lines of text. Eg data
NOTENUM     LINENUM     LINETEXT
1     1     THIS IS LINE1.
1     2     THIS IS LINE2.
2     1     THIS IS LINE1 OF NOTE2.
2     2     THIS IS LINE2 OF NOTE2.
I need the text of lines of the most recent note (max notenum)
<Note>THIS IS LINE1 OF NOTE2. THIS IS LINE2 OF NOTE2</Note>.
I have a query like this
SELECT XMLAGG(XMLPARSE(CONTENT LINETEXT WELLFORMED))
FROM TAB1
GROUP BY NOTENUM
ORDER BY NOTENUM DESC
Above query would return the text of all lines concatenated for each note and the first row would be the one with highest notenum value.
My problem is that concatenation of the LINETEXT should happen in ascending order of LINENUM. Since LINENUM is not in GROUP BY clause I cannot specify it in ORDER BY.
How can I specify to XMLAGG (for that matter any group by function) to concatenate text in a specific order.
I hope I was able to explain my problem clear enough for somebody to help.
thanks for all the help

Never mind. I just found out that XMLAGG function has the option to specify ORDER BY. I think that will work.

Group by function in a measure object

Hi All,
I am trying to create a measure in universe which is the sum of ticket amount group by country. like,
sum(Payments.Ticket_Amount) group by country name. When i place this measure in a report group footer it should display the sum to that particular group. But it is not working.
Could anybody help me how to write a group by function to create a measure.
Thanks,
swati.

Hi swati.
You don't need to write the GROUP BY statement at the universe level.
The universe knows that aggregate functions require group by statements and will group the aggregate measure objects by whatever dimension objects are included in the query. If you have a measure object that is not based on an aggregate but has a projection of Sum, it will only be aggregated at the report level once the data has been returned by the query.
Measure: sum(sales_fact.value)
Measure: sales_fact.price
Dimension: country_dim.country
This would generate SQL along the lines of:
SELECT sales_fact.price, country_dim.country, sum(sales_fact.value)
FROM sales_fact, country_dim
WHERE sales_fact.country_key = country_dim.country_key
GROUP BY sales_fact.price, country_dim.country
Hope that clears it up for you.

Mark

Prob with group by function

group by
mt.subinventory_code,
item.description,
we.wip_entity_name
When i excute the query
It results in an error like this
ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
When i remove the subquery from my select statement it works fine,but i want the result including the subquery plz help me

Help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.

Hi Friends,
Need you urgent help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.
I did the below sample SQL and in "e_orig" and "d_orig" for upto 4000 char it is working fine but I have to use it for more than 8000 char. and it is giving error,
I checked the listagg function is having limitation of 4000 char.
I tried but I am unable to achive this. Can someone provide me a sample example to achive this
select d.dname,d.loc,e.hiredate
,listagg(e.ename,',' ) within group (order by e.deptno) over (partition by e.deptno) as e_orig
,listagg(e.ename, ',') within group (order by e.sal) over (partition by e.deptno) as d_orig
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno=d.deptno;[ This is my first post, I gone through the guideline for posting a post , and try to go according to that ( I have not pasted here create table and insert as I have used basic table emp, dept for example), please let me know if still I should give this, I will take care from my next post ]
Thanks in advance

Interesting, I didn't know you could do that, but...

You could write some PL/SQL code that does it all for you, but that would involve loops and would be slow.Well, objects are written in PL/SQL aren't they? And presumably there'll be implicit looping too? So it's not at all obvious that this method will be faster than doing the joining in PL/SQL in memory. The only way to find out is to benchmark them - so I have done that.
I noticed that OP's ref cursor actually only ever retrieves a single record for a bound department number, so I decided the best thing would be to test using a procedure that passes an output string back. I selected all (109) employees and put spaces in to ensure above 4000 characters. I also noticed that as he is using PL/SQL he probably can use a VARCHAR2 type, but just not ListAgg in the query, so I wrote short procedures as follows:
SimpleAggChr     - bulk collect and array processing, VARCHAR2 output
ClobAggPrc     - the custom aggregation method, CLOB output
SimpleAggClob     - bulk collect and array processing, CLOB output
I then wrote a driving script that calls them in the order above and times each call (I like benchmarking so I have my own timing object to make it easy). I then print the lengths for checking, and my object writes the timings to my output table. Running a few times I got varying results, but generally it looks like there isn't a lot to choose between them for performance.
Here's the procedure code:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE char100_list_type AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SimpleAggChr (x_out OUT VARCHAR2) IS
l_enames     char100_list_type;
BEGIN
SELECT first_name || '                                        ' || last_name
    BULK COLLECT INTO l_enames
    FROM employees
   ORDER BY salary;
FOR i IN 1..l_enames.COUNT LOOP
    x_out := x_out || l_enames(i) || ',';
END LOOP;
END SimpleAggChr;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SimpleAggClob (x_out OUT CLOB) IS
l_enames     char100_list_type;
BEGIN
SELECT first_name || '                                        ' || last_name
    BULK COLLECT INTO l_enames
    FROM employees
   ORDER BY salary;
FOR i IN 1..l_enames.COUNT LOOP
    x_out := x_out || l_enames(i) || ',';

In my opinion, I think the rolling function of Muse need to add the group status function and group!

In my opinion,
I think the rolling function of Muse need to add the group status function and group!
Because when the processing of many things, but the effect is the same,
but to repeat many times, it is necessary to group similar function of PS.

I learned how to install the 9.1.3 upgrade by renaming my app, and that works fine. Logic is now recognized in About My Mac as a 64 bit app, which is where I started. Thanks for your help.
Now I have to figure out how to get my Novation to work through Automap in some way that I can finally get mixer functions. I'll repost the second part of this if I'm still having a headscratcher about it tomorrow.

Group by function use in sql

I want to get an output using group by function of there is no data in the table to display a particular value
for eg:
SELECT TRUNC(updated_date) DATE1 , COUNT(1) COUNT FROM table
where TRUNC(updated_date) >=TRUNC(SYSDATE-18) AND TRUNC(updated_date) <=TRUNC(SYSDATE)
GROUP BY TRUNC(updated_date)
ORDER BY TRUNC(updated_date) DESC;
DATE1 COUNT
6/16/2012 14208
6/15/2012 307825
6/14/2012 172988
6/6/2012 138790
6/5/2012 167562
6/4/2012 51870
6/2/2012 130582
6/1/2012 239806
But i need the missed out date i.e 6/3/2012 - 0, 6/7/2012 - 0 to be displayed since there is no data on the repective dates.

Hi,
You can only display things that are in a table (or result set, but from now on, I'll just say table), or that can be derived from a table. If you want to display dates that are not in your table, then you have to get them from another table, or derive them from some table.
Some people actually keep tables of possible dates for queries like this. In this case, all you need is a table of the last 19 dates, ending with today. That's easy to derive from dual:
WITH     all_dates     AS
     SELECT     TRUNC (SYSDATE)     - LEVEL     AS date1
     ,     TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 1 - LEVEL     AS date2
     FROM     dual
     CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= 19
SELECT    a.date1
,        COUNT (x.updated_date)     AS count
FROM                all_dates     a
LEFT OUTER JOIN    table_x     x ON     x.updated_date     >= a.date1
                            AND     x.updated_date     < a.date2
GROUP BY a.date1
ORDER BY a.date1
;If you'd care to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for some sample data, and the results you want from that data, then I could test this.

Need help in group left report

i need help in group left report
i am making group left report in which all group data on top is repeating as many time as detail record is .
for axampel
if
group record:
fielda fieldb field c
fielda fieldb field c
fielda fieldb field c
fielda fieldb field c
detail record :
fieldd fielde feildf
fieldd fielde feild
fieldd fielde feild
fieldd fielde feildf
how i can show group record on top once and on each group record show detail record belong to master record.
plz help me
A.R

I think you Should go for Group above report...
and if you want group left only and also want to display master once then
put all master fields above but yeah take care of it's master repeting frame
it should not change...
and if you want i can send you an example...
Enjoy Oracle...

Need some help with a remove function

Design and code a program that will maintain a list of product names. Use a String type to represent the product name and an array of strings to implement the list. Your program must implement the following methods:
Add a product to the list
Remove a product from the list
Display then entire list
Find out if a particular product is on the list.
You need to create a command command loop with a menu() function. The program must continue asking for input until the user stops.
This is the assignment and this is what I have so far. I need some help writing the remove function.
Thanks

I need help removing a product from the arrayYes. So what's your problem?
"Doctor, I need help."
"What's wrong?"
"I need help!"
Great.
By the way, you can't remove anything from an array. You'll have to copy the remaining stuff into a new one, or maybe maintain a list of "empty" slots. Or null the slots and handle that. The first way will be the easiest though.

Help needed with printf function!!!!

public class Try
{public static void main (String[] args)
{int a;
String b;
a = 000002;
b = "JSmith";
System.out.printf(b + "%d", a);
}}I need a help with the printf function.
The result of this small excercise that I just made is:
Jsmith2
How do I make it so that the zeros is also displayed? (using the printf)
I want it to look like this: Jsmith000002
Thank you in advance

TrySystem.out.printf(b + "%06d", a);(I don't have a compiler here so I haven't tested this).
The "6" is the width - the minimum number of characters that will be
printed and the "0" (it's a zero) is a flag indicating that the output should
be padded with zeros.
You should also note that the value of a is two. It doesn't matter whether
you say a=2; or a=0002; - a is still just plain two.

To fetch data using group by function

Hi Guys,
I am having a table where it holds data with value with zero in one of the column and i need to fetch the records from the table using group by function but to display all the records if zero occurs in my table
for eg
table1
id,customer_name,country
0     sam     aus
1     peter     ind
1 peter    ind
0 samy     us
0 rayan     nz
if i use select count(*),id from table1 group by id
i will get
count(*),id
3-0
1-2
but wat i need is like below
0     sam     aus
0 samy     us
0 rayan     nz
2 peter ind
whenever zero is occurring i need to display all the records but group by should work for non zero records

The simplest way would be to have two queries and UNION them together. For example:
WITH test_data AS
( SELECT 0 AS id, 'sam' AS customer_name, 'aus' AS country FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 1 AS id, 'peter' AS customer_name, 'ind' AS country FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 1 AS id, 'peter' AS customer_name, 'ind' AS country FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 0 AS id, 'samy' AS customer_name, 'us' AS country FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 0 AS id, 'rayan' AS customer_name, 'nz' AS country FROM DUAL
SELECT cnt
     , customer_name
     , country
FROM   ( SELECT id
              , customer_name
              , country
              , COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY id) AS cnt
              , ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY id) rn
         FROM   test_data
         WHERE id != 0
WHERE rn = 1
UNION
SELECT id
     , customer_name
     , country
FROM   test_data
WHERE id = 0
This gives the following results:
       CNT CUSTO COU
         0 rayan nz
         0 sam   aus
         0 samy us
         2 peter ind
