ORA-00934

I have following part of SQL in my procedure:
select trunc(my_Date) into cancel_date,
sum(Decode(last_retry,'1',1,0)) as 1,
sum(Decode(last_retry,'2',1,0)) as 2
from retry_state@fdb a
where a.cust_id=a.cust_id
group by trunc(my_Date);
I get following error:
PL/SQL: ORA-00934: group function is not allowed here
Can anybody tell how to solve this problem?

Hi Kitty, 
 
Do you use PL/SQL ? You should said me earlier Transposing rows and ORA group by error;-) 
Well, your select statement return three columns, so you need three variables : 
select trunc(my_Date),
 sum(Decode(last_retry,'1',1,0)) as 1,
 sum(Decode(last_retry,'2',1,0)) as 2
into cancel_date, MyVar1, MyVar2
from retry_state@fdb a
where a.cust_id=a.cust_id
group by trunc(my_Date); 
 
HTH,

Thanks,
jaya.

are you using this in pl/sql block or at SQl
there two things.
you are missing
1 missing )<--- closing para for the count.
2. if rou are using pl/sql block then INTO clause goes after all the column,
SELECT COUNT( CASE WHEN TRUNC(so_due_Date) = SYSDATE AND ne_state = 'GA' AND ((so_type LIKE '%CHANGE%') OR (so_type LIKE '%NEW%')) THEN 1
END)),
COUNT( CASE WHERE TRUNC(so_due_Date) = SYSDATE + 1 AND ne_state = 'GA' AND ((so_type LIKE '%CHANGE%') OR (so_type LIKE '%NEW%')) THEN 1
END))
FROM tbl_cif_current ;
or in pl/sql
SELECT COUNT( CASE WHEN TRUNC(so_due_Date) = SYSDATE AND ne_state = 'GA' AND ((so_type LIKE '%CHANGE%') OR (so_type LIKE '%NEW%')) THEN 1
END)),
COUNT( CASE WHERE TRUNC(so_due_Date) = SYSDATE + 1 AND ne_state = 'GA' AND ((so_type LIKE '%CHANGE%') OR (so_type LIKE '%NEW%')) THEN 1

ORA-00934: group function is not allowed here

Hi,
My requirement is to check oi.quantity is equal to sum of packing_detail. quantity
by order_number
select oi.quantity_ordered oi_qu, pd.quantity pq
from ordered_items oi, packing_details pd
where oi.ordered_item_id = pd.ordered_item_id
and oi.quantity_ordered = sum(pd.quantity)
and oi.order_number = '29';
after executing above query I get error
SQL Error: ORA-00934: group function is not allowed here
00934. 00000 - "group function is not allowed here"
Please tell me how to resolve it.
Thanks in advance
Sandy

You have to make use of a subquery;
select oi.quantity_ordered oi_qu, pd.quantity pq
from ordered_items oi, packing_details pd
where oi.ordered_item_id = pd.ordered_item_id
and oi.quantity_ordered = *(select sum(pd.quantity) from packing_details pd1 group by pd1.ordered_item_id)*
and oi.order_number = '29'; This is based on the assumption that ordered_items is the summarize data and packing_details are the line item level data.

How to get the number of rows written to the header of the spool file.

Hi
I need to create a header line for the spool file .
the header line should include fixed length values .
The header should include the number of records found in the table with a maximum begin date (begin_date is the column of the table)
To get the header in the spool file , i wrote a select query has :-
--SPOOL 'C:\Documents and Settings\abc\Desktop\output.TXT'
select 'W'||to_char(sysdate,'MM/DD/YYYYMi:HH:SS')||lpad(max(rownum),9,'000000000') ||'R'||max(to_char(school_from_date,'MM/DD/YYYY')) ||
rpad(' ',76,' ')
from dad.school
group by sysdate;
SPOOL OFF
which gets me all the rows in the table , but i only want the rows with the latest school_begin_date .
how can i achieve that ...
I know that a subquery should be written in the from clause to get the number of rows found with a maximum school_begin_date.
select 'W'||to_char(sysdate,'MM/DD/YYYYMi:HH:SS')||lpad(max(rownum),9,'000000000') ||'R'||max(to_char(school_from_date,'MM/DD/YYYY')) ||
rpad(' ',76,' ')
from dad.school where
select rownum from dad.school
where school_begin_date = max(school_begin_date) ;
the error i get is
ORA-00934: group function is not allowed here
I NEED HELP ..IN GETTING THE ROWNUM JUST FOR THE LATEST BEGIN_DATE ?
PLS HELP ME IN WRITING THE QUERY .
THANKS IN ADVANCE .

Try this:
select 'W'||to_char(sysdate,'MM/DD/YYYYMi:HH:SS')||lpad(max(rownum),9,'000000000')||'R'||max(to_char(school_from_date,'MM/DD/YYYY')) || rpad(' ',76,' ')

PL/SQL equivalent of T-SQL - "group function is not allowed here"

Hi all, hope someone can give me a hand as I'm pretty stuck! I have been trying to convert some MS SQL Server T-SQL statements into Oracle PL/SQL and am stuck on the below one:
SELECT
CA.AssessmentID,
(SELECT ProductName + ISNULL(' - ' + PrincipalBenefit,'')
FROM rptPolicySnapshot WHERE PolicyID = MAX(CA.PolicyID)
AND SnapshotID = 1),
MAX(CA.PolicyID)
FROM rptClaimInvoiceLineSnapshot CIL
INNER JOIN rptClaimAssessmentSnapshot CA
ON CIL.AssessmentID = CA.AssessmentID
AND CIL.SnapshotID = CA.SnapshotID
WHERE CIL.SnapshotID = 1
GROUP BY CA.AssessmentID
This works fine in MSSQL but returns the below error in Oracle:
'ORA-00934: group function is not allowed here'
If I take out the subquery the query works fine.
Any ideas as to the syntax? I am new to Oracle so not sure as to how I should go about writing this.
Thanks in advance!
Leo

This will give you the switch_flag for the latest eff_date,

Hi Jay,
As you are getting an ORA- error, there is nothing wrong with the OBIEE report or with the fact that the you have used Evaluate in the filters.
This seems like an error while parsing a particular row value for the parameters (Booked Date and Line Status Date) you are passing to the work_days_between_ADS function. Pick up the physical sql and fire it directly on the database and try to identify what values are causing the error (probably at line 8 of the function def).
Thanks,

How to update the COST column using another table's column

Dear All,
I have table:
table parts: pno, pname, qoh, price, olevel
table orders: ono, cno, eno, received, shipped
table odetails: ono, pno, qty
view:orders_view: ono, cno, eno, received, shipped,sum(qty*price)order_costview:odetails_view: ono, pno, qty, (qty*price)cost
after I update the price in parts, I need to update COST and ORDER_COST too. The orders_view does not have pno, qty, and price, the odetails_view does not have price, how can I update the COST and ORDER_COST. Please help and Thanks in advance!!!
I wrote the update the price in parts:
create or replace procedure change_price(ppno in parts.pno%type, pprice in parts.price%type) as
begin
    update parts
    set price = pprice
    where pno = ppno;
end;
show errorsthis procedure works fine.
I wrote the trigger:
create or replace trigger update_orders_v
after update of price on parts
for each row
begin
    update orders_view
    set order_cost = sum(parts.(:new.price)*parts.qty)
    where parts.pno = :new.pno;
end;
show errorsIt gives me:Errors for TRIGGER UPDATE_ORDERS_V:
LINE/COL ERROR

4/22 PL/SQL ORA-00934: group function is not allowed hereplease help!

You could add the columns to the tables and then you would need a trigger to update those columns. However, you could just as easily select the price * qty to get the cost, without creating an additional column or trigger. I have no idea what you might want to do with a global temporary table. I think you need to explain what your purpose is, before any of us can suggest the best method. Since I have already demonstrated an update with a view, I will demonstrate an update with the cost column added to the odetails table and a trigger as you asked about. Notice that you will need triggers on both tables, the one that has qty and the one that has price.

Oracle 11g: update with group by

DB. 11.2.0.2.0
Hello
This feels as though it should be simple. The below code tries to update the Activities table with the sum of staff hours (worked out from two other tables).
The select works fine:
select a.activities_id, sum((t.st_proportion*s.staff_time)*7*(t.st_enddate-t.st_startdate)/100)
from aa_wl_activities3 a
join aa_wl_stafftime2 t
on a.activities_id=t.st_activity_id
join aa_wl_staff s
on t.st_staff_id=s.staff_id
group by a.activities_idand produces data like this:
7    700
6    700
44 700
41 700
update aa_wl_activities3 a
set a.activities_stafftime = sum((t.st_proportion*s.staff_time)*7*(t.st_enddate-t.st_startdate)/100)
join aa_wl_stafftime2 t
on a.activities_id=t.st_activity_id
join aa_wl_staff s
and t.st_staff_id=s.staff_id
group by a.activities_idI get this error:
ORA-00934: group function is not allowed hereFrom various bits of googling, it is possible to update using an aggregate function - I want to check it's possible in Oracle SQL and if anyone can spot anything wrong with my code
Thanks

update aa_wl_activities3 a
set a.activities_stafftime =
select sum(
           (t.st_proportion * s.staff_time)
         * 7
         * (t.st_enddate - t.st_startdate)
         / 100
from aa_wl_stafftime2 t
       join aa_wl_staff s on s.staff_id = t.st_staff_id
where t.st_activity_id = a.activities_id
;(Or MERGE as suggested)

SQL developer 3.0 - Few Query Builder issues

Hi All,
I have just started using SQL Developer 3.0 so have not fully browsed thru all of the available options in SQL Developer. I have been trying to work on creating and editing sql statements using Worksheet and Query Builder.
I am working on to test this tool so I can give it to the users for them to try and use it - they used to work on the old Query Builder 6.0.7....since it is already de-supported long back to work against 11g database, I am hoping to tell them to use SQL developer 3.0 instead.
Hence, if an user doesn't know how to write a sql statement, he/she would try to do the same using Query Builder.
So, the following questions are more aligned towards a normal user who would try to create a query in the Query Builder window, instead of directly typing a sql statement in the Worksheet window.
1) How to establish/create a relationship between tables after you have dragged down the tables into the Query Builder window? - i tried but couldn't get any options!.
2) Sometimes I see 'Connection closed' error when i try to run a query. How to refresh the connection without opening a new Connection tab?
- I tried this but evertytime it opens up a new connection tab, while the old tab is still present.
3) Columns in the Expression field in Query Builder window can ONLY be displayed in the result set, if the 'output' box on the extreme left of the 2nd section in Query Builder window is checked.
Now when i try to check the output box for an expression (with few aggregate functions), the 'Grouping' check box automatically gets checked, which when run throws an ORA-00934 error: group function is not allowed here...but when I de-select the 'Grouping' check box, the 'output' box also gets un-checked!.
How to solve this out?
Please let me know the resolutions of the above - much appreciated.
With Regards,
Pamir

Hi,
As Raghu noted above, and you also saw in rp0428's following reply,
Re: Problem with displaying sdo_geometry objects
drilling down to the cell edit details is your only recourse for now. Apparently there will be further work done in this area, but it is not clear exactly what or when it will be. For those with access to it, here is a bug reference:
Bug 13680849 - RC1: NOT DISPLAYING THE DATA OF MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
