ORDER BY Clause in XMLAGG is throwing errors.

Hi,
I'm getting errors when generating the XML using the ORDER BY clause in the XMLAgg function. Although, running the SQL directly in SQL Plus doesn't have any problem.
Here is the PL/SQL sample.
DECLARE
vX_XML SYS.XMLTYPE;
vCL_XML CLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT XMLElement("GROUP",
XMLAttributes(Group_Id AS "ID", Group_Name AS "NAME", Group_Description AS "DESC"),
XMLAgg(XMLElement("FIELD",
XMLAttributes(Field_Id AS "ID", Field_Description AS "DESC",
Table_Name AS "TAB_NM", Rule_Name AS "RULE_NM",
Field_Hierarchy_Depth AS "DOL_VAR_CALC")) ORDER BY Field_Description))
INTO vX_XML
FROM (SELECT g.Group_Id, g.Group_Name, g.Group_Description, f.Field_Id, f.Field_Description,
DECODE(f.Table_Name, 'ESTIMATES', 'E', 'LINE_ITEMS', 'L', NULL) Table_Name,
rt.Rule_Name,
CASE NVL(f.Field_Hierarchy_Depth, 0) WHEN 0 THEN 'N' ELSE 'Y' END Field_Hierarchy_Depth
FROM GROUPS g,
Rules r,
Rule_Types rt,
Fields f
WHERE g.Group_Id = 3087
AND r.Group_Id_Fk = g.Group_Id
AND rt.Rule_Type_Id = r.Rule_Type_Id_Fk
AND f.Field_Id = r.Field_Id_Fk) tab
GROUP BY Group_Id, Group_Name, Group_Description;
vCL_XML := vX_XML.GetCLOBVal();
END;
And, here are the errors.
ERROR at line 8:

Thanks in Advance.

    Hello Adam
    You cannot use "(e.distance/e.duration)" as an order by clause. The correct query would be:
    "Select r.firstname, r.lastname, (e.distance/e.duration) as speed from Runner r Inner Join r.event e Order BY speed Desc"
    but will not work until bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=331575 is fixed. Please vote for it.

  • Error : The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived

    Hi All,
    I am on 11g 6.2, Windows Server 2008, my db SQL server 2008, I am facing the error for the reports in which I am trying to edit one the column formula and do something like 'abc/sum(abc)*100'.

    One of the solutions to this which I have found is to edit the EXPRESSION_IN_ORDERBY_SUPPORTED feature in the db properties.
    I want to know what does EXPRESSION_IN_ORDERBY_SUPPORTED means?
    When I create a calculations in 11g like abc/sum(abc) in the column formula for a column then i get this error.
    What does this error mean? Does OBIEE 11g doesn't support using these expressions in the report and the fact that it applies the order by clause to the reports, the report fail?
    Could anybody please explain the issue. There is very limited information on this over the web.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ronny

    Thanks svee for the quick response, actually i had resolved the issue by unchecking the EXPRESSION_IN_ORDERBY_SUPPORTED option in the database. I want to understand how does that makes the difference?
    What does EXPRESSION_IN_ORDERBY_SUPPORTED mean? Does it mean that if I give any expression in my answers report and since obiee uses a order by for all the queries, the expression won't be supported?
    Please explain.

  • Order by clause require dynamic value

    Hi
    I want to bind parameters to orderby clause. In where clause with bind parameter works fine. But in orderby clause ive done similar steps to have a dynamic sort which will be passed from the previous page in a session variable. Although it didnt show any error at the backend where i can see data getting binded, but no sorting is taking place.
    Can u help me to solve this.
    regards
    Jayashri

    Jayashri,
    I have tested this and you are right. And there does occur an error at the backend, only you wont see it unless you run with BC4J debug mode turned on. You can do this by providing -Djbo.debugoutput=console to the JVM. When running inside JDeveloper, you can accomplish this by going to Project Properties => PRofiles => Development => "Runner", and fill this in at the "Java Options" field.
    Doing that will show the reason of the problem. When a view object is queried, BC4J actually performs 2 queries. One to obtain the 'estimated row count', and then one to obtain the action rows.
    Now suppose your query looks like this:
    SELECT <somefields> FROM <table>
    WHERE <field> = :1 ORDER BY :2
    Bc4j will construct the following query to obtain the estimated rowcount:
    SELECT count(1) FROM (SELECT <somefields> FROM <table> WHERE <field> = :1)
    As you can see, it does NOT include the ORDER BY of the original query in this statement, probably for performance reasons (why order the set if you are only interested in the count). Unfortunately, it WILL try to bind both :1 AND :2 to this query, but because there is only one bind variable in this query, this throws an java.sql.SQLException which is unfortunately trapped somewhere in BC4J code, and not shown in the regular log file.
    I am pretty confident that this is actually a BC4J bug (or known restriction). You could post this problem at the JDeveloper Forum to determine this (without mentioning JHeadstart, because this would also happen if you wrote your own code for binding these parameters).
    As for a workaround, you could try the following:
    1.) Remove the (bind parameter from) the order by clause on the ViewObject
    2.) Remove that same bind parameter from the "Query Bind Parameters" property.
    You should now have gone back to a scenario where there are only bind parameters on the where clause. You would need to set the OrderBy clause programatically now. To do this, extend the JhsDataAction for this page, and override the method 'applyIterBindParams()'. Before calling super, try something like:
    ViewObject vo = ib.getRowSetIterator().getRowSet().getViewObject();
    vo.setOrderByClause(<your dynamic orderby>);
    Kind regards,

  • Where to place ORDER BY clause when a query includes UNION

    I have a query that has UNION in it. could you please tell me where to place the ORDER BY clause. Because it's throwing an error if i place the ORDER BY clause at the end

    Because you are using the UNION set operator, you need to either specifically list your columns or use positional notation.
    Without a set operator we can order by the column name without specifically listing it:
    SQL> select * from dual
      2  order by dummy;
    D
    X
    1 row selected.This doesn't work once you introduce a set operator:
    SQL> ed
    Wrote file afiedt.buf
      1  select * from dual union all
      2  select * from dual union all
      3  select * from dual
      4* order by dummy
    SQL> /
    order by dummy
    ERROR at line 4:
    ORA-00904: "DUMMY": invalid identifierSo you need to either use positional notation:
    SQL> ed
    Wrote file afiedt.buf
      1  select * from dual union all
      2  select * from dual union all
      3  select * from dual
      4* order by 1
    SQL> /

      1  select dummy from dual union all
      2  select dummy from dual union all
      3  select dummy from dual

  • If there r MULTIPLE entries of different in my_itab, throw ERROR??

    Hi Experts,
    Am filling the my_itab(which does hv 1 filed of Order), by doing some processing.
    Always, the Order # shuld b the same.
    If in any case, there r multiple Orders in this itab of DIFFERENT, I need throw ERROR message.
    So, instead of looping the itab, checking each entry explicitly, Is there any Statement, Clause, sytax?

    Hi,
    Declare another varialbe of the Order type and assign the value to it.
    w_order = itab-order.
    Loop itab where itab-order = w_order.
    if w_order eq itab-order.
    message 'Same order number' type 'E'.

    Sorry you can not use order by clause into one temporal table created by subquery.
    Put the order by clause offside of subquery.

  • Order by clause in PL/SQL cursors

    I am trying to execute a procedure with some input parameters. I open a cursor
    with a select statement. However, the order by clause in the query does not
    recognize parameter sent through the procedure input parameters.
    For example:
    open <<cursor name>> for
    select id from member order by <<dynamic parameter>>" does not work (Compiles fine but does not return the right result).
    But if I try and give a static order by <<column name>> it works. Is the
    order by clause in the PL/SQL a compile time phenomenon?
    I have also tried it through dynamic sql. All the other parameters work except the order by <<parameter>> asc|desc
    Also "asc" and "desc" does not work if given dynamically.
    What alternatives do I have?

    I don't think order by can be dynamic in a cursor, but it sure can be using dynamic sql. The only issue is that you must do a replace in the sql string with the dynamic variable. For example:
    create or replace procedure test_dyn(p_col in varchar2, p_order in varchar2) as
    q varchar2(500);
    u_exec_cur number;
    u_columnnumber NUMBER;
    u_columndate DATE;
    u_columnvarchar varchar2(50);
    u_cur_count number;
    u_ename varchar2(20);
    u_sal number;
    begin
    q := 'select ename, sal from scott.emp order by p_col p_order';
    -- got to do these two replaces
    q:= replace(q,'p_col',p_col);
    q:= replace(q,'p_order',p_order);
    u_exec_cur := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
    dbms_sql.parse(u_exec_cur,q,dbms_sql.v7);
    dbms_sql.define_column(u_exec_cur, 1, u_columnvarchar, 20);
    dbms_sql.define_column(u_exec_cur, 2, u_columnnumber);
    u_cur_count := dbms_sql.execute(u_exec_cur);
    loop
    exit when (dbms_sql.fetch_rows(u_exec_cur) <= 0);
    dbms_sql.column_value(u_exec_cur, 1, u_ename);
    dbms_sql.column_value(u_exec_cur, 2, u_sal);
    dbms_output.put_line(u_ename);
    dbms_output.put_line(u_sail);
    --htp.p(u_ename);
    --htp.p(u_sal);
    end loop;
    end;
    show errors;
    Now when when I execute my procedure I can change the order by clause all I want, for example:
    SQL> set serveroutput on;
    SQL> exec gmika.test_dyn('sal','asc');

  • Order by clause in Sub query

    Hi,
    Can we use order by clause in Sub query?
    While using the order by clause, I am getting the "missing expression error" . If I remove order by clause query executing fine.
    Here is my query:
    select *
    from emp_mstr
    where emp_no in(select
    emp_no
    from emp_mstr
    order by branch_no);
    Thanks & Regards,
    Mahi

    May be you miss some required spaces also, other than wrong use of ORDER BY
    select *
    from emp_mstr
    where emp_no in
         ( select e2.emp_no
           from emp_mstr e2
    --       order by e2.branch_no
         );Why do you want to ORDER BY in the subquery, which you use with IN clause? That will not make any difference in the result..Means the result you get with ORDER BY will be same as without that.. And in this case, ORDER by is a unncessary overhead.. And Ordering is very costly..
    And why do you want to have the IN clause at all in your query? You are referring the same tables in the main query and sub query..
    The below will give the same result
    select *
    from emp_mstr
    where emp_no is not nullIf you want to use another table in the subquery, always use aliasess...
    select *
    from emp_mstr
    where emp_no in
         ( select e2.emp_no
           from emp_mstr2 e2
    --       order by e2.branch_no
         );

  • Order by clause in discoverer custom folder

    hi,
    i m working on discoverer 3.1.38.I've been trying to sort the period according to calendar sequence and for this i tried 2-3 different queries which are working fine on sql plus but in discoverer custome folder,one error is coming saying ..can't use ORDER BY clause in custom folder.
    I've tried formatting option also but it doesn't work here with me as i preferably want to sort in MON-RR format.
    thanks in anticipation

    thanks for replying back. but i didn't get what exactly u meant by creting query in user edition and about alternative sort,i should have list of value item and item_to_sort in same folder but i don't have that..i am creating one cross tab report and using to_char(gl_date,'MON-RR') format on my top axis its' appearing alphabetically over there,i wrote one qurey which worked prefecly fine on sql plus,but in discoverer its' giving me error.i can't create alternative sort on this,so please give me some different solution
    thanks in advance

  • ORDER BY clause in runtime

    Hi All,
    I want to order my SELECT using "dynamic ORDER BY". I have a CURSOR (in my PL/SQL procedure) contains a select with ORDER BY clause. I have implemented two combobox in my form (the first contains the column name, the second contains ASC and DESC).I tried with the next:
    1) Dynamic ORDER BY in CURSOR with combobox results. IT DOESN'T WORK.
    2) Using a block property named "ORDER BY CLAUSE". Here I put, for example, :myBlock.comboColumnOrder. IT DOESN'T WORK.
    3) Using a function: set_block_property(myBlock,order_by,:myBlock.comboColumnOrder) or set_block_property(myBlock,default_where,:myBlock.comboColumnOrder). IT DOESN'T WORK.
    4) Using dynamic CURSOR: ORACLE FORMS give me an error that said: "...it can't to the CLIENT-SIDE".
    I have thought my last solution, but it maybe cumbersome. I do a TEMPORARY TABLE, and my CURSOR insert in this TABLE, and then I'll fetch to my BLOCK.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Why I cannot use RowID in where clause but can use it in order by clause

    I am on SQL Server 2008.
    1. If I use
    SELECT (ROW_NUMBER()  over
    (order by ImportId, ScenarioId, SiteID, AssetID, LocalSKUID, WEEKID, MonthID)) RowID, * 
      FROM [JnJ_Version1].[dbo].[td_Production_Week]
      order by RowID
    Statement works
    But
    2. If I use
    SELECT (ROW_NUMBER()  over
    (order by ImportId, ScenarioId, SiteID, AssetID, LocalSKUID, WEEKID, MonthID)) RowID, * 
      FROM [JnJ_Version1].[dbo].[td_Production_Week]
      where  RowID > 10000
    I get error, RowID is an invalid column Name why? How to correct query 2.

    This is due to the logical evaluation order of a SELECT statement. Logically, a SELECT statement is computed in the order:
    FROM (which includes JOIN)
    WHERE
    GROUP BY
    HAVING
    SELECT
    ORDER BY
    OFFSET
    Thus, you can use what is defined in the SELECT list in the ORDER BY clause, but not in the WHERE clause.
    In the case of row_number(), this has immediate repurcussions. row_number() is computed from the rows as they arrive the SELECT clause, and if you then you would filter on the value in the WHERE clause you would be going round in circles.
    To do what you are looking for, you use a nested table, for instance with a CTE:
    WITH numbering AS (
       SELECT (ROW_NUMBER()  over
    (order by ImportId, ScenarioId, SiteID, AssetID, LocalSKUID, WEEKID, MonthID)) RowID, * 
      FROM [JnJ_Version1].[dbo].[td_Production_Week]
    SELECT *
    FROM   numbering
    WHERE  RowID > 10000
