Using Sum Function in Oracle(on 24 th)

Hi all i wrote the following query.
SELECT RESPONSER_ID,SUM(SUM(DISTINCT WORK_SPACE)) AS SCORE,COUNT(DISTINCT QUESTION_ID) AS QCOUNT FROM TQDB_LEARNER_RESPONSE WHERE RESPONSER_ID=328
GROUP BY RESPONSER_ID
I am getting the following error.
ORA-00937: not a single-group group function
Any body Pls help me.

why use sum(sum()
SUM(SUM(DISTINCT WORK_SPACE)) AS SCORE,
SELECT
     RESPONSER_ID,
     SUM(DISTINCT WORK_SPACE) AS SCORE,
     COUNT(DISTINCT QUESTION_ID) AS QCOUNT
FROM
     TQDB_LEARNER_RESPONSE
WHERE
     RESPONSER_ID=328
GROUP BY

Using FILTER function in oracle answers

Gurus,
I have a question related to using Filter function in oracle answers.
When trying to insert a Filter (expr) Using (expr) clause in the formula area of a fact table field, It errored out with msg saying about using a wrong measure.
I know this can be done with a case expression but I tried filter clause since this is available in oracle answers.
Please help me figuring out this scenario.
Thanks.

David / Raghu - Thanks for u'r replies and apologizes for not posting question with proper material.
Am posting my code and the error message from the screen.
Code :
IFNULL(FILTER("Fact - MBS Loan Transactions"."OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL" USING "Dim - MBS Loan"."LOAN TYPE HPD/HDC/BNK" = 'HDC'),0)
Error :

How can I use SUM function to calculate # of employees in the comp.&deptnt?

I've got two tables: employee & department. I am trying to calculate total employees by department and total employees by the entire company. I know I need to use SUM function, but I only can calculate total employees by department & by company separately. I need to get this output:
DEPT_NAME     DEPT_TOTAL_SALARY         COMPANY_TOTAL_SALARY
RESEARCH                  10875                        29025

ACCOUNTING                 8750                        29025
This is my code:
SELECT department_name, SUM(salary) as total_salary
FROM employee, department
WHERE employee.department_id = department.department_id
GROUP BY department_name;
SELECT SUM(salary)
FROM employee;

I believe the XSL to be correct because when I change it to a count it works and when I go into BI Publisher 11g and create the query in the data model and then create a summary from it, the summary is created.
Can anyone help?

I went back to basics and created reports (via EXCEL templates) like I was asking based on good old EMP and DEPT and I found exactly the same problems I was mentioning. I looked at the templates provided but they were not calculating totals, like me they were selecting them and then just displaying them on the page.
Anyway, I have narrowed it down to the fact that when you do aggregates like sum(.//SAL) this works if you have a salary for every value. I did an outer join with DEPT so I did have empty rows and why I still experienced the problems.
Basically XSL does not like adding (including using the sum function) values that effectively have nulls in them which is why I get the cast/constructor errors because it is trying to turn a NaN value to a number and does not (or cannot) do it.
You need to either have a value in every row of your column (maybe possible by selecting nvl in your query) and make sure that you check the "create empty nodes" checkbox in the data model of BI Publisher.,
the other solution is an xsl solution where you would have to make sure that you only added non null values and for that you would have to investigate xsl blogs.
It is, by the way, why my count worked because it is just counting that the record exists it does not care what the element content is or isn't.

Hi,
It sounds like you have a Fan Trap , where a one-to-many relationship is causing some items to be counted many times.
The usual solution is to compute the aggregates before doing the one-to-many join. Analytic functions may make this simpler.
Sorry, I can't show you exactly how to do it without the exact data.
Post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data (if different from what you've already posted).
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Simplify the problem as much as possible. If the problem only concerns the total_ships column, then only post the data needed to compute total_ships. This includes all the columns involved in the joins and GROUP BY clauses.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Using sum function and round function in single text form field

Hi all,
I have a column Name - A . In the rtf template i have summed up the column A and showing it. But the output is coming as 99.9999997. I want to round it to 100.
I tried using <?round(sum(A),2)?> but dint workout.
I also tried using variables. It is also not working.. I used <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,’ABS',sum(A)?> and then i used get variable to get it.... But it throwing error while using sum in the set variable step.
Can anyone please help me..
Thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Calculate the sum into a Variable. and apply round function on the variable to get the desired value.
Calculating sum:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'v',xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v')+DOLLARS)?> (its running sum formula,should be placed inside the table to get sum of all rows of particular column)
here Variable 'v' holds the sum value
apply round function:
<?round(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'v'))?>
Thanks and Regards,
Aravind

How to use "Rank" function in Oracle?

I need to display Top 15 records by using rank function.
Here is my query...I need to pull top 15 FAQ's using the below query.. How can I use RANK function to display the Top 15 FAQ"s in the list.
Select distinct SUb1.FAQ,Sub1.FAQ_Hits,GU.display_Name_FMLS as displayname,ev.ParentLinkrecordid,ev.userid from User GU
Join Event ev
ON LOWER (ev.userid) IN (LOWER (GU.lanid), LOWER (Gu.racfid))
Join (Select distinct sm.stem as FAQ,Sum(ev.Eventresults) as FAQ_Hits,ev.ParentLinkrecordid as Topic_ID from Event ev
Join SubjectMatter sm
ON (TO_CHAR (sm.smrecordid) = ev.eventdetail1) AND ev.eventdetail1 IS NOT NULL AND sm.smtype = 1
Where (Upper(ev.eventsubtype) in (Upper('FAQ'),Upper('OPENFAQ')))
AND TO_DATE (eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') >= TO_DATE ('20100601', 'yyyymmdd')
and TO_DATE (eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') <= TO_DATE ('20100831', 'yyyymmdd')
Group by sm.stem,ev.Parentlinkrecordid
order by FAQ )sub1
ON Sub1.Topic_ID = ev.ParentLinkrecordid)

A few bits that I noticed in the query ...
in (Upper('FAQ'),Upper('OPENFAQ'))1) Do you really a upper for a string which is already in upper case.
Select distinct sm.stem as FAQ,Sum(ev.Eventresults) as FAQ_Hits,ev.ParentLinkrecordid as Topic_ID2) Do you need a distinct when you are using a GROUP function viz. SUM ?
You rank query is as follows, I am not very good at the ANSI style JOIN so changed it slightly ... :-)
Also notice the usage rank function in the "sub1" query.
select distinct sub1.faq,
                sub1.faq_hits,
                gu.display_name_fmls as displayname,
                ev.parentlinkrecordid,
                ev.userid
from user gu, event ev,
(select rank() over (order by sum(ev.eventresults) desc) rnk,
          sum(ev.eventresults) as faq_hits,
          sm.stem as faq,
          ev.parentlinkrecordid as topic_id
     from event ev, subjectmatter sm
    where (to_char(sm.smrecordid) = ev.eventdetail1)
      and ev.eventdetail1 is not null
      and sm.smtype = 1
      AND upper(ev.eventsubtype) in ('FAQ', 'OPENFAQ')
      and to_date(eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') >= to_date('20100601', 'yyyymmdd')
      and to_date(eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') <= to_date('20100831', 'yyyymmdd')
    group by sm.stem, ev.parentlinkrecordid
    order by faq) sub1
where lower(ev.userid) in (lower(gu.lanid), lower(gu.racfid))
and sub1.topic_id = ev.parentlinkrecordid)
and sub1.rnk <= 15;Like mentioned above, some sample data would have helped.

Problem to Use C function in oracle

How to find exception occured while using LOGON function in oracle 10g

Hi,
I am using LOGON function to login with a different user name in oracle 10g forms.
LOGON ( User, Pass@tns, FALSE)
The third parameter is passed as 'FALSE' to avoid the login screen to be opened. If any of the other parameter ( User Name, Password, TNS) is passed wrong, connection is not established but no exception is occurred. The value for 'FORM_FAILURE' is set to 'TRUE'.
What i need is the ORA error for connection failure. The error message related to user name/password (ORA-01017) or connection identifier (ORA-12155).
How i can get this error code if connection is failed. Is there any other way to login in oracle forms other than 'LOGON'.

If you pass FALSE in login you can't catch anything. Want to catch the error ?
Then change
LOGON ( User, Pass@tns, FALSE)
to
LOGON ( User, Pass@tns, TRUE) Now Create On-Error trigger at form level
and try the following code
if error_code=01017 then
     message('invalid user name or password');
     message('invalid user name or password');
     raise form_trigger_failure;
elsif error_code=12154 or error_code=1215 then
     message('invalid connection string');
     message('invalid connection string');
     raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;Hopes this helps

Bulk Replacements using Replace function in oracle 8i

Hi All,
Iam using oracle 8i version and i need to use Replace function for bulf replacements i mean i need to replace around 250 rows. So please anyone suggest me how to proceed
on this request as iam using oracle 8i version.
Thanks!
Srini

Write one update statement.
The where condition is the filter what rows need to be touched.
The SET condition will do the data change. For example it could use the REPLACE function if that is what it is needed.
One single update statement over 20 rows would mean the task is done in BULK. 20 single updates that each handle one row would mean it is row by row = slow by slow processing.

Using R function on Oracle data base

for using R, I only can use Oracle data mining algorithms or I can use R function like social network in Oracle data base?

Oracle Advanced Analytics provides multiple language (SQL, R and if we include GUIs, Oracle Data Miner workflow UI) support to the in-DB analytics. Using SQL, R or the ODM'r GUI, you can access a library of simple descriptive, summary and coparative statistics that have been implemented in the Oracle Database + a dozen hi-perf in-DB data mining algorithms (e.g. regression, decision trees, text mining, clustering, associations, anomaly detection, etc.) and solve a wide range of business and technical problems.
Should you require additional techniques e.g. R CRAN packages, then Oracle Advanced Analytics supports that through R to SQL transparancy where it "pushes down" R language intentions to matching in-DB SQL functions e.g. ETL, stats and data mining OR it can make a callout to R via "embedded R mode" and have the Database manage the flow of data and the process.
There is an OTN Discussion Forum that focuses entirely on the "R" aspects of the Oracle Advanced Analytics Option. I suggest that you re-post your questiion here R Technologies for additional discusssions and for the benefit of that Oracle Advanced Analytics/Oracle R Enterprise OTN forum/community.

Hey just on this particular point, there's a handy PL/SQL method for escaping quotation characters which may reduce the complexity of the string.
For example, if I had a string:
I can't understand why quoting my 'quote' characters never seems to "work"!and I wanted to pass that into a variable, I could do this:
vc_foo:= 'I can''t understand why my ''quote'' characters never seems to "work"!';or I could use the q function, whereby you enclose your string within a quote delimiter of your choice, like so:
vc_foo:= q'^I can't understand why quoting my 'quote' characters never seems to "work"!^';
note: I used the caret (^) character by convention but any valid character will do
...all of which leaves your original string more or less unadulterated.
I find this particularly useful for generating dynamic SQL and dynamic PL/SQL, as it leave the query looking a tad more readable, although if you are chaining together multiple strings with double-pipes, it can make it a little muddier. I find it particularly useful if I'm going to deal with string data from, for example, a field with Irish-derived surnames such as "O'Reilly"...
Give it a go!

How do we use "streams" functionality in Oracle 8i?

Hello Gurus,
Oracle Streams is only available as of Oracle 9i. I need to replicate data from an Oracle 8i database to another database. The tables don't match exactly and i want a solution that can mimic streams. How can that be done? Is there any sample code available to do this type of streaming between Oracle 8i dbs?
Thanks.

You can use Materialized views (used to be called Snapshot) or Advanced Replication. But I think AR is an extra option not included in Enterprise Edition.
You could also develop trigger based replication using database link. But I advice you don't go that way. Don't reinvent the wheel. Think of what happens when one db goes down - you don't want the other to sink with it...
You should give Snapshot a try. Look for fast snapshot refresh. It uses incremental log, so it is a lot faster in most cases.
You need at least 9i R2 to use Streams, but you're better off with 10.2.0.3.

How I can use use_exit function in oracle forms

hi,
in order to find out the user exits for any tcode,
1. get the developement class of the tcode from SE93.
2. Now goto transaction SMOD and press F4,
3. give in the Deve class in the dev class and Press ENTER
this will show u the exits for any tcode.
or execute this report
