Why this query is giving error in report

I have a simple query ...
SELECT &P_FLEXDATA C_FLEXDATA,
CHART_OF_ACCOUNTS_ID C_NUM
FROM GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS
It is running fine in SQL prompt but when I create it as a report query then it is giving error: ORA-00904 "C_FLEXDATA": invalid identifier
Please advise ....
I shall be ever thankful...
Best Regards

Hello,
You are using a "lexical" reference in the SQL query (&P_FLEXDATA).
You must set a default value for P_FLEXDATA in order the SQL Query to be parsed successfuly

Without seeing an execution plan of the query it is hard to suggest something useful. Try insert the result of UNION ALL to the temporary table and then perform an aggregation on that table, not a CTE.
Just
SELECT CollectionDate,Bankname,DSLIPS AS DSLIPS,SUM(BN) AS BN,SUM(COINS)AS COINS FROM
#tmp Group By CollectionDate,DSLIPS,Bankname
HAVING COUNT(DSLIPS)<>0;

Can anyone tell me why this is the problem and why these columns need to be added to the final GROUP BY clause.

Even though fssPV.feed_instance_id and fssPV.cob_date are not used anywhere in the SELECT clause requires tobe added to the final GROUP BY clause else
the query though compiles successfully doesnt executes giving "Not a group by " error.Actually, you are using both of those columns in the SELECT clause, when you compute original_present_value:
select SUM(vsr.original_present_value)
from validated_position vp , validated_scenario_result vsr
where
VSR.FEED_INSTANCE_ID= fssPV.feed_instance_id
AND VSR.COB_DATE= fssPV.cob_date
and vsr.validated_position_id= vp.validated_position_id
AND vsr.scenario_id in (SELECT   distinct mn.node_id as "SCENARIO_ID"
FROM     TABLE(pack_scenarios_overview.splitInListIntoLeaves(a_scenario_list, '$', l_cobdate)) nodeIds,
marsnode mn
WHERE    nodeIds.column_value = mn.node_id
AND      mn.close_date is null
) "ORIGINAL_PRESENT_VALUE" Since the scalar sub-query is correlated to fsspv.feed_instance_id and fsspv.cob_date, it is depenedant on those columns, the same as, say TRUNC (fsspv.cobb_date, 'YEAR') is depenedant on fsspv.cob_date.
Perhaps you need to put SUM in the main query, not the scalar sub-query, or (probably faster) replace the scalar sub-query with a join. Without knowing your tables, or the results you want from your data, I can't say more.
Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATED TABLE and INSERT statements for all tables), and the results you want from that data.
Simplify the problem as much as possible. In this case, I think you can show what the problem is using just two tables, the ones aliases fsspv and mn.
If you can illustrate your problem using commonly available tables, like those in the scott schema, then you don't have to post any data; just the results you want.
It looks like you're doing something like this:
SELECT       job
,       COUNT (*)     AS cnt
,       (          -- Begin scalar sub_query to compute min_loc
            SELECT     MIN (loc)
          FROM     scott.dept
          WHERE     deptno     = e.deptno
       ) min_loc     -- End scalar sub_query to compute min_loc
FROM       scott.emp     e
GROUP BY job
,            deptno     -- Omitting this causes ORA_00979: not a GROUP BY expression
;when you really should be doing something like this:
SELECT       job
,       COUNT (*)     AS cnt
,       MIN ( (          -- Begin scalar sub_query to compute min_loc
            SELECT     loc
          FROM     scott.dept
          WHERE     deptno     = e.deptno
           ) ) min_loc     -- End scalar sub_query to compute min_loc
FROM       scott.emp     e
GROUP BY job
;to get these results:

Why this query does not show the result?

Why the query with the schema prefixed does not show the result and the query without schema display the correct results?

Hi,
the column object_name refers to a object_name which is 'JOBS', the column owner refers to the owner 'HR', the value isn't stored together, so you have to select the two columns. It is the same behaviour as every other table/view. Have a look at the values in the view DBA_OBJECTS.

Why would this query return an error that mentions an entirely different database being offline?

Trying to get a list of fragmented indexes based on a database name. However,
SELECT COUNT(*) AS TableFragOver80PctCount
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (null, null, null, null, null )as ts
INNER JOIN sys.tables t on t.[object_id] = ts.[object_id]
INNER JOIN sys.indexes i on i.[object_id] = ts.[object_id]
INNER JOIN sys.databases db ON ts.database_id = db.database_id
WHERE db.name = 'MY DB NAME'
AND ts.avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 80.00
The error I get back
Msg 942, Level 14, State 4, Line 1
Database 'VERY DIFFERENT DB' cannot be opened because it is offline.
I know there is a database on this server that is offline, actually 2 or 3, but not the one Im trying to get information about. What could cause the above query to have trouble getting index info that is caused by an entirely different database being
offline?

FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (null, null, null, null, null )as ts
See MSDN sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats
; the first parameter is the database id; if you pass NULL as here, then all databases will be scanned, also your offline one.

Silly old fogey (me) cannot figure out why this query returns 1 row

Hi all,
In reference to {thread:id=2456973}, why does
select sum(count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null))) CLERKS
, sum(count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null))) SALESMANS
from emp group by job;only return 1 row and not 1 for each job? I actually had to test it myself to believe it.
It returns data as if the query were
select sum(CLERKS), sum(SALESMANS)
from (select count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null)) CLERKS, count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS
         from emp group by job)Using only a single aggregate (either count or sum) returns 1 row per job, as expected

Exactly the point ;-)
Seems like Oracle actually can do a "double group by" in the same operation.
Witness the explain plans in this example:
SQL> select count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null)) CLERKS
2       , count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS
3 from scott.emp group by job;

---------------------------------------------------------------------------And compare it to this one with the double aggregates:

2       , sum(count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null))) SALESMANS

----------------------------------------------------------------------------There is both HASH GROUP BY and SORT AGGREGATE.
It does not really make sense to do an aggregate on an aggregate - if both aggregates are used "on the same group-by level".
The sum() aggregates are used upon an already aggregated value, so it does look like Oracle actually treats that as "first do the inner aggregate using the specified group by and then do the outer aggregate on the result with no group by."
Look at this example where I combine "double" aggregates with "single" aggregates:
SQL> select sum(count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null))) CLERKS
2       , sum(count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null))) SALESMANS
3       , count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS2
4       , count(*) COUNTS
5 from scott.emp group by job;
    CLERKS SALESMANS SALESMANS2     COUNTS

|   3 |    TABLE ACCESS FULL| EMP |    14 |   112 |     3   (0)| 00:00:01 |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------When mixing "double" and "single" aggregates, Oracle decides that single aggregates belong in the "outer" aggregation.
SALESMAN2 is doing a count on the aggregated job column that is the result of the "inner" group by - therefore only 1.
The count(*) also counts the result of the "inner" aggregation.
I am not sure if this is documented or if it is a "sideeffect" of either the internal code used for GROUPING SETS or the internal code used for allowing analytic functions like this:
SQL> select count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null)) CLERKS
2       , count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS
3       , sum(count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null))) over () CLERKS2
4       , sum(count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null))) over () SALESMANS2
5 from scott.emp group by job;
    CLERKS SALESMANS    CLERKS2 SALESMANS2
         0          0          4          4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Personally I think I would have preferred if Oracle raised an error on this "double aggregation" and thus require me to write it this way (if that is the result I desired):
select sum(CLERKS), sum(SALESMANS)
from (select count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null)) CLERKS, count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS
         from emp group by job)I can not really think of good use-cases for the "double aggregation" - but rather that it could give you unnoticed bugs in your code if you happen to do double aggregation without noticing it.
Interesting thing to know ;-)

Why is FrameMaker 12 giving error message "FrameMaker has encountered a serious error?"

Hi All,
I have a couple people that are experiencing the exact same thing. They are all using FrameMaker 12 Structured mode, and when they are trying to open up certain files, this is what they experience.
I have un-installed and re-installed the software and still no luck. I have already sent an email to [email protected], but I was just going to post on the forum to see if anyone else has ever had this happen to them. They can also open up some files, but the one's that they are needing to open up aren't working. Any help is appreciated.

That pretty much points the finger at the file(s) as being somehow corrupt. If you can just open the file and it doesn't crash before working on it, then you should immediately try saving as MIF. If this works, then opening the MIF and re-saving as the binary .fm might just clean out the corruption.
As a last resort, you could try using FM's Heroic Open.
1. Open/create a blank FM document (File > New > Document).
2. Use the <esc> o H shortcut ( it's the lowercase "O") - press the keys in sequence, not simultaneously.
3. Select the bad file from the browser and keep your fingers crossed.

Couple of things I'd do differently.
1) Load the report object using the engine, not the viewer:
objRptDoc.Load = <path to the report>
2) You really do not need all that viewer clean up code (but that would just be my preference):
if (this.vwCrystalReportViewer.ViewerCore != null)
                    this.vwCrystalReportViewer.ViewerCore.Content = null;
                    this.vwCrystalReportViewer.ViewerCore.Dispose();
                if (this.vwCrystalReportViewer.Owner != null)
                    this.vwCrystalReportViewer.Owner = null;
                this.vwCrystalReportViewer = null;
                GC.Collect();

I found a bug in Power Query. Anyone know why this occurs?

It took some time to isolate the cause of this.
One of our SharePoint sites couldn't successfully be connected to with Power Query for Excel 2013. We would receive this message: "DataSource.Error: OData: The feed's metadata document appears to be invalid."
I made a site template and started making copies of the failing site in order to test the cause of the error.
I narrowed it down to 16 lists that, if present on the site, would cause the connection to fail. Those lists' names were simply numbers. For example: "1", "2", etc.
I noticed in the Listdata.svc feed for the site that only the choice columns were included in the metadata and not the single line of text column names. In Listdata.svc, it appends a "c_" in front of the both the list and choice column
names if the list name starts with a number.
After many tests I believe I have confirmed you cannot start the name of a list with a number IF you have a choice column in that list. Anyone know why this is?

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue. Would you be able to capture some Fiddler traces and send them our way so we can take a closer look at the underlying errors?
Feel free to send them via "Send a Frown" in PQ for privacy.

11          WHERE mcv_mc_mc_id = 'DUMP_NO');When resolving names that have no prefix, Oracle will have to try and figure out what you mean.
The column names in line 9 have no prefix, so Oracle will try to figure it out.
It will check if the columns come from the table(s) in the from clause (line 10), as that is not the case it can find the column names in the table in line 1.
So I think it has resolved the names to be like this:
SQL>   UPDATE dw_mmg_cat_us d3
2    SET    d3.dw_eftv_to = TRUNC(sysdate)
3    WHERE (d3.mcv_mc_mc_id,d3.mcv_mcv_id,d3.mmg_mmg_id) IN
4           (SELECT d1.mcv_mc_mc_id,d1.mcv_mcv_id,d1.mmg_mmg_id
5           FROM   dw_mmg_cat_us d1
6           WHERE d1.dw_eftv_to is null
7           AND    d1.mcv_mc_mc_id = 'DUMP_NO'
8           MINUS
9           SELECT d3.mcv_mc_mc_id,d3.mcv_mcv_id,d3.mmg_mmg_id
10           FROM   merc_mmg_catus d2
11          WHERE d2.mcv_mc_mc_id = 'DUMP_NO');Which doesn't make much sense, but is syntactically valid.
If you make a habit of prefixing column names, you would probably have written something like:
SQL>   UPDATE dw_mmg_cat_us d3
2    SET    d3.dw_eftv_to = TRUNC(sysdate)
3    WHERE (d3.mcv_mc_mc_id,d3.mcv_mcv_id,d3.mmg_mmg_id) IN
4           (SELECT d1.mcv_mc_mc_id,d1.mcv_mcv_id,d1.mmg_mmg_id
5           FROM   dw_mmg_cat_us d1
6           WHERE d1.dw_eftv_to is null
7           AND    d1.mcv_mc_mc_id = 'DUMP_NO'
8           MINUS
9           SELECT d2.mcv_mc_mc_id,d2.mcv_mcv_id,d2.mmg_mmg_id
10           FROM   merc_mmg_catus d2
11          WHERE d2.mcv_mc_mc_id = 'DUMP_NO');Which would have failed because Oracle could see that d2 does not have those columns.

Group by Query not giving desired results

Hi,
I've a requirement to find minimum month based on status:
The following query is giving error :
SELECT
          b.app_name,
          DECODE (a.status,
          'C','Closed',
          'O','Open',
          'F','Future',
          'W','Pending',
          'N','Not Opened') decode_status
          MIN(a.period_name)
FROM     table a,
     table b
WHERE     a.app_id     =     b.app_id
AND          b.app_name      =     'NAME1'
AND          a.book_id     =     &book_id
AND          a.status      =      'O'
GROUP BY      b.app_name,
          DECODE (a.status,

          'F','Future',
          'W','Pending',
          'N','Not Opened') decode_status
for ex: in the above query if I've four records with status 'O' and period_name as 'May-12', 'Jun-12','Jul-12' ,'Aug-12' then I need to pick 'May'
Thanks,
Kiran

Thanks,
KiranIt looks like you're almost there.
If period_name is a DATE, then
MIN (a.period_name)is finidng the earliest period name, such as 5 May 2012 17:03:49. If you just want to see 'May 2012', then change that to
TO_CHAR ( MIN (a.period_name)
        , 'Mon YYYY'
        )If a.period_name is a VARCHAR2, then change it to a DATE. The best way to do this is permanently. There is no reason to store date information in VARCHAR2 columns. Oracle supplies DATE columns; there's no extra cost for using them. DATE columns were designed for storing date information, use them to do that.
if you must keep your date information in VARCHAR2 a column, then use TO_DATE in the query. It will be slow, and you'll have run-time errors if any of the information is in the wrong format. That's what happens when you store date information in VARCHAR2 columns.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

Sql query problem which causes crystal reports in visual studio to freeze

Anyone know why this query posted here freezes up? if i remove s.enddate IS NULL from the query is when it freezes up. This is used on an infinite campus database for which i only have read only access so no posting anything that requires write access please!
IT may just be a flaw in my query which it has been before but it only stops responding if i remove the above query and it only started this after i added the comments subreport if i remove it then the action above doesn't cause it to freeze in visual studio.
I do have a subreport for comments that is in the report too. Heres the main query:
