MAX and GROUP BY Problem

Hi I am trying to execute the following query using an OracleCommand:
SELECT P.Name,P.Version,P.AssemblyName,P.AssemblyVersion FROM Plugin P
JOIN (SELECT Name,MAX(Version) AS Version FROM Plugin WHERE Disabled=0 GROUP BY Name) D ON P.Name=D.Name AND P.Version=D.Version
ORDER BY CASE WHEN P.AssemblyName LIKE '%resources%' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END
Every time I run it I get the following exception:
ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
However when I run this in SQL Developer no error is returned and the results are as expected.

Hi,
On Further investigation I have found the problem lies in the LIKE statement, when the '%' are present the error is produced. However on removing the '%' no exception is raised, for example:
SELECT P.Name,P.Version,P.AssemblyName,P.AssemblyVersion FROM Plugin P
JOIN (SELECT Name,MAX(Version) AS Version FROM Plugin WHERE Disabled=0 GROUP BY Name) D ON P.Name=D.Name AND P.Version=D.Version
ORDER BY CASE WHEN AssemblyName LIKE '%resources%' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END
Error: ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression

Removing the '%'
SELECT P.Name,P.Version,P.AssemblyName,P.AssemblyVersion FROM Plugin P
JOIN (SELECT Name,MAX(Version) AS Version FROM Plugin WHERE Disabled=0 GROUP BY Name) D ON P.Name=D.Name AND P.Version=D.Version
ORDER BY CASE WHEN AssemblyName LIKE 'resources' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END
Error: None
Then i tried just having the ORDER BY without the JOIN
SELECT P.Name,P.Version,P.AssemblyName,P.AssemblyVersion FROM Plugin P
ORDER BY CASE WHEN AssemblyName LIKE '%resources%' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END
Error: None
So the problem seems to lie in having a GROUP BY with a LIKE in ORDERBY. Has anyone got any idea on what may be causing this?

Cannot get wanted data with MAX and GROUP BY function

Hi
All
I have a table like below:

I only want get one record with all columns, only have one clause MAX(END_TIME)
But the other column have difference value.
when i use MAX(END_TIME) and GROUP BY USER_ID,PROCESS_ID,CASES,....
the sql didnot give one record,
It give many records
Please help me on this

Hi, Saven,
Sorry, it's unclear what you want.
Whenever you have a question, 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.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
If you can show your proiblem using commonly available tables, like those in the scott or hr schamas, then you don't have to post any sample data: just the results and the explanation.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using.
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
Are you trying to see all data related to the highest (that is, latest) end_time?
I think you want something like this, that finds all the ionformation about the employee with the latest hiredate:
WITH     got_r_num     AS
     SELECT     emp.*
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY hiredate DESC NULLS LAST)
               AS r_num
     FROM     scott.emp
SELECT     *     -- Or list all columns except r_num
FROM     got_r_num
WHERE     r_num     = 1
;What do you want in case of a tie, that is, if 2 or more rows have the same latest end_time? You may need to add tie-breaking expressions to the analytic ORDER BY clause, and/or use RANK instead of ROW_NUMEBR

Help with 655 Max and Possible Memory Problems...

Just recieved my 655 Max and have put my system together, but when I turn it on it makes a constant beeping sound. I tried taking out both memory sticks, lol, and turning it on and the sound stops, I tried putting in one memory stick and the sound starts again.
I suppose this is a memory problem.
by the way I am using Corssair 256mb CMX256a-3200C2 memory.

[The alarm that you are getting is the CPU Fan Alarm you will have to diable it in the Bios. I am using a Vantec Aeroflow heatsink and my CPU alarm also is constantly on and was very annoying till I disabled it. My system still doesn't boot to XP yet as I have RMA'd bothe the MB and Ram. QUOTE]Originally posted by TritonB7
Hey Kaiguy the comp does continue to make sounds till I shut the system off. And I'm not sure how a standard pc tone sound would sound like, :(. But it does make beep followed by a lower pitched beep, and it repeats this till I shutdown the system.
(1) I cannot Access Bios.
(2) I have two sticks of Corsair 256mb CMX256a-3200C2 memory. I do not have any other ram available that will be compatible with this motherboard. Ive tried using one stick at a time in each of the slots. No Luck.
I highly think that both sticks not working is very unreal.
(3) and reseting bios by the jumper isnt working either.
I can probably try buying some diffrent memory, or returning the whole mobo and exchanging it for the same one.
By the way on my monitor when i turn the comp on it says 8x Extreme or something close to it while the comp is beeping. I doubt that, that has anything to do with it. This is my first MSI board :( , I've always been an Asus person but Im still open for MSI i'm sure I just recieved a faulty board.

Problem in creating group above AND group left in one report!

Hi all,
I need a report that is a combination of group above and group
left.
Suppose I have 3 table (Emp, Sales, Product):
Emp Table has 2 column
- Emp_PK
- Emp_Name
Sales Table has 4 column
-Sales_PK
-Sales_Date
-Emp_FK
-Produck_FK
-Quantity
Product Table has 3 column
-Product_PK
-Product_Name
-Product_Price
I want to make Employee Sales Report For The Month that will
look like this:
Emp Number___: Emp_PK
Emp Name_____: Emp_Name
Sales Date______Product_Name____Quantity \(2 sales
________________Product_Name____Quantity /the date)
Sales_Date______Product_Name____Quantity
As you can see this consist of group above (The Employee) and
group left (The Sales and Product).
I create this by using 2 queries and link them (the Emp_PK from
1st query and Emp_FK from 2nd query) on the report builder using
data link.
The first query is:
Select Emp_PK, Emp_Name from Emp
The second query is
Select Emp_FK, Sales_Date, Product_Name, Quantity
From Sales, Product
Where Product_PK=PRODUCT_FK
I then create the layout for second query and choose group left
for Sales_Date using wizard and I create additional layout to
for the employee.
The problem is that when I run this report, it will print ALL
the employee record first (including employee who has NOT sale
anything) and then on the last page it will print the record of
Last employee on the Emp table and ALL sales record (including
those that is done by other employee).
This report will run correctly if I choose an exact employee
(For example by adding Where Emp_PK=1111 in the first query) to
report all of the sales done by this person (employee with emp
number of 1111). However I need the report to run and print
ONLY those employee who has Sales Records!
I thought that by linking the 2 queries in Data Model, it will
have the same effect as linking using the WHERE clause in query.
If suppose I create a query like this:
SELECT Emp_PK, Emp_Name, Sales_Date, Product_Name, Quantity
FROM Emp, Sales, Product
WHERE Emp_PK=Emp_FK AND Product_PK=Product_FK
The report will run OK but I can only choose EITHER group above
or group left for this ONE query methods in report Wizard.
Sorry if it is a long question but I hope you can see what I am
trying to do.
Thanks in advance for any tip.

hello,
of course you can create group left and group above blocks in a
single report.
you might want to use the INSERT REPORT BLOCK instead of the
report wizard, as the report wizard only allows you to use one
report layout per report, where the report block wizard (invoked
by INSERT REPORT BLOCK) allows you to choose on a per-block
basis.
of course you can create the blocks completely from scarth by
hand, if you want to.

Displaying actual Max and Min in the report header problem...

Hi guys,
I have the following problem.
1. I have a multi select prompt where you pick 2 years.
2. I have the following columns. Year, Month, Exp, calc YEAR (max), calc year (min)
3. I need to get the max and min month across all rows. So far I've tried MAX, MIN, RMAX, and RMIN without success. However, it's not picking them along all rows. For example,
2001 1 100050 2001 2001
2002 1 244005 2002 2002
I'm sure this has to do something with my aggregation in the calculated column, but not quite sure where exactly.

do max(max(year)) and min(min(year))
:)

Iphone and droid group message problem

I recently got the iphone 6. I have a group text comprised of iphone and non iphone users. If the discussion is just between the non iphone users the messages send properly (as a sms). However, when an iphone user responds it automatically converts to iMessage and non iphone users stop receiving the group txt. HELP!?!?!

I had an iphone 5 and switched to Samsung galaxy S5 in August 2014. Went through all the processes of de-registering number with apple imessage and had no problems with getting group messages from iPhone users. Then, about beginning of January, no longer could receive group messages from my iPhone friends. A couple have upgraded to the 6 but others had not. I have a pending case with ATT support, worked with Samsung support and did a factory reset, still no fix. I had two of my friends turn off iMessage today and send the group text, guess what? IT WORKED. So I totally agree, something has happened, maybe with a recent iOS update, not sure. But, they cannot send me group texts with iMessage turned on. Need help because I cannot afford to switch back to iPhone just so I can group text, but I'm getting left out of important information and events. VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!!!

Hmm.. export/import only works between portal installations at the same version level. What you need to do is to use the upgrade scripts that will take you from Portal 3.0.7 to Portal 3.0.8, which are not available yet. We hope to make these scripts available in a couple of weeks on OTN. (Yes.. I too am waiting for these scripts).

5 rows selected.My requirement was that row number 3, 4 and 5 be grouped and treated as a single vacation record such that
effective_start_date = 06-AUG-2011 and
effective_end_date = 27-AUG-2011
For this I wrote a query:
SELECT effective_start_date,
       effective_end_date,
       CASE
          WHEN LAG (effective_end_date, 1) OVER (ORDER BY row_num) + 1 = effective_start_date
             THEN 0
          WHEN LEAD (effective_start_date, 1) OVER (ORDER BY row_num) - 1 = effective_end_date
             THEN 0
          ELSE 1
       END row_num
FROM (SELECT * FROM T1)Now the data returned looks like:
EFFECTIVE EFFECTIVE    ROW_NUM
01-JUL-09 06-SEP-09          1
20-MAR-11 31-MAR-11          1
06-AUG-11 22-AUG-11          0
23-AUG-11 26-AUG-11          0
27-AUG-11 27-AUG-11          0
5 rows selected.Now I can easily use MIN(effective_start_date) and MAX(effective_start_date) group by ROW_NUM to achieve the desired results

                       THEN 0
                    WHEN LEAD (effective_start_date, 1) OVER (ORDER BY row_num) - 1 = effective_end_date
                       THEN 0

06-AUG-11 27-AUG-11          0
3 rows selected.All done BUT the problem is that there may be several groups of consecutive rows like this. In that case each group should be identified distinctly for GROUP BY clause to work as expected.
I want to assign a unique number to each occurence of such group.
How can I achieve this? Any ideas?

Well, actually, you'll need to tweak it a bit. something such as in :Scott@my11g SQL>l

Hi,
Whenever you have a question, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data.
Simplify the problem as much as possible.
Would you have the same problem if only two tables, fact_result_vw and fact_trans, were involved? Then post a question involving only those two tables. Once you have a solution for the simplified problem, adding the other tables will be easy.
Would the problem be essentially the same if you were pivoting only 2 or 3 columns, instead of 13? Then post a question where you're only pivoting 2 or 3 columns. Once you have a solution, adding the others will be easy.

How can I return only the latest transaction from the FACT_TRANS table as the code below (In Bold)is not returning the correct number of recordsDo you want only the latest transaction from the fact_trans table, or the latest transaction for each customer ?
What if there's a tie, and the same customer has two (or more) transactions at the same date, and none later?
Since you're not using any of the data from the fact_trans table, the effect is just to eliminate customers who are not in fact_trans. You can do that more simply with an IN or EXISTS sub-query.
If you really do need something from the fact_trans table in the main table, then one way you can get the results you want is to use the analytic RANK (or ROW_NUMBER) function to number the rows in fact_trans by trans_date (latest first), with a separate set of numbers (1, 2, 3, ...) for each customer, like this:
WITH     fact_trans_1     AS
     SELECT     id     -- all columns that you need
     ,     RANK () OVER ( PARTITION BY id
                      ORDER BY          date_trans     DESC
                    )     AS r_num
     FROM     fact_trans
SELECT        TO_NUMBER(MONTHS_BETWEEN(To_DATE(a.DATE_KEY, 'yyyymmdd' ),

Contacts and groups

is there a maximum number of contacts? is there a max # of contacts per group?
i want to set up some large email lists - if there is a max on verizon.net , will it work if i do it in outlook?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For your verizon.net addressbook, you have a max of 300 entries. That includes individuals AND groups. So if you have 38 contacts and two groups, that makes 40 entries. If you use an email client, you will not have this restriction.
You cannot send to more than 100 contacts at a time using Verizon's servers, and no more than 500 in an hour. This is stated in their email policy here.
The following limits apply with respect to the sending of e-mail from your verizon.net e-mail account. These rules are in place in order to help fight spam (i.e., unsolicited e-mail). For more information on Verizon Online's efforts to fight spam, please see the Verizon Online Anti-Spam Policy.
You may not include more than 100 recipients in a single email. Messages will not be sent to any recipients in excess of 100.
You may not exceed 500 recipients in 1 hour. Exceeding 500 recipients in 1 hour will result in the suspension of your ability to send email for 24 hours. This does not affect your ability to receive email.
It is important to note that the restrictions on the number of recipients/messages apply regardless of whether you use verizon.net or an email client. If you need to send more messages, I'd suggest finding another outgoing server to use.

Min and Max and insert new rows

Hello,
I am really a beginner in Excel (2007). I am not sure if this is the correct forum, anyway.
I have grouped some rows in a sheet (rows 1, 2 and 3, columns A and B, table below), some of the columns have numeric values in that group and I have a row (inside that group) that shows the maximum and minimum values (row 1):
          A     B
+  1 43   12 <- MAX and MIN values for row 2 and 3 columns A and B
+  2   34   12
+  3   43   34
I am using MAX and MIN functions: A1 = MAX($A2:$A$3), B1 = MIN($B$2:$B$3)
The problem comes when I want to insert more rows after row 3, the formula keeps wrapping to A$2:$A$3 therefore I need to readjust the formula to: MAX($A2:$A$4) manually (for MIN is the same).
          A     B
+  1 43   12 <- Are the same, they should be
"98 and  10"
+  2   34   12
+  3   43   34
+  4   98   10 <- New row, but the maximum and minimum continues to be the same, I want to extend the formula automatically to the 4 row when I insert the new row.
Question:
How can I extend the function of the MAX and MIN formula automatically when I insert new rows?
Please consider that I may insert rows at the beginning, in the middle or the end.
Thanks,
Enrique.

Hi Enrique,
Thanks for posting in MSDN.
Based on the description, you want to modify the formula for the A1 and B1 cell when you insert a new rows.
Yes, we can use Worksheet.Change to dermin the change of data on the worksheet then we can modify the formula as we wanted. Here is a sample for your reference:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Me.Range("A1").Formula = "=MAX($A2:$A" & Me.UsedRange.Rows.Count & ")"
Me.Range("B1").Formula = "=MIN($B2:$B" & Me.UsedRange.Rows.Count & ")"
End Sub

Sorting and Grouping -Two months in this query

Hi All,
many thanks for jeneesh
i am doing project for construction company, i face this problem in grouping points according to relation between these points the
Relation is from 1 to 100. If the point between this rang that mean there is relation between these points.
this question already solve but the results not correct when the table has more data.
SQL - sorting and grouping.
from jeneesh and many thanks for him.
This example for more clarifications
for example i have these points
id   location         percentage   comments
1     loc 1,2          20%                that mean point 1 and 2 close to each other by 20%
2     loc 1,3          40%              that mean point 1 and 3 close to each other byy 40%
3     Loc 8,6          25%               that mean point 8 and 6 close to each other by 25%
4     Loc 6,10        20%
5     LOC 11,10        10 %
6     LOC 15,14         0%Also , we can see the relation between these points as follwoing
- points 1,2,3 in one group why becuase 1,2 has relation and 1,3 has relation that mean 1,3 also has hidden relation.
- Points 6,8,10,11 in second group there are relations between them .
- but no relation between 1 or 2 or 3 with any point of 6,8,9,10,11
- as well as no relation between 15, 14 that mean 14 in third group and 15 in fourth group.
whati need?
to group the points that has relation according to percentage value ascending
The most important part is to group the points. SO , the below query the gropuing is not correct.
I have the follwoing table with data
