SQL & PL/SQL :: Can Group BY Clause Have Expression Field
Apr 4, 2011
Can Group BY clause have an expression field?
Say for example, I want to group by the fields "Type" and and expression called "expression" (which is a case statement). I tried running this query and it says "expression" is invalide identifier.
select type, case when SUBSTR (glnumber, 1, 2) = '05' then 'IS'
when SUBSTR (glnumber, 1, 2) = '06' then 'IS'
else 'BS'
end "expression" , sum(balance)
from table
group by TYPE, "expression"
If there is any online material on how to GROUP BY on an expression(like above)

getting expression into a Group By query in oracle.
I have a simple table with two columns. 'ID' and 'Amount'
I want output of the SQL to the following (only 2 fields in the output): I have attached the desired output.
select sum(amountheld) from table1
where member_status = 'MEMBER'
group by ID
This group by query works. But how can i get the expression field (the first field which 'TEMPACCOUNT') in this query (based on my attached output).

I read that rownum is applied after the selection is made and before "order by". So, in order to get the sum of salaries for all employees in all departments with a row number starting from 1, i wrote :
select ROWNUM,department_id,sum(salary) from employees group by department_id
If i remove rownum, it gives the correct output. Why can't rownum be used here ?

Refer to the txt file to create table and insert data.
I executed the following query-
SELECT priority, detail, COUNT(1) FROM TEST GROUP BY priority, detail
and got the following result-
PRIORITYDETAIL COUNT(1)
StandardPatch 27
StandardInitial TSS 1
StandardInitial development 10
StandardProduction deployment5
High PriorPatch 1
Now I want that Initial TSS and Initial development should be combined as Initial together and I should get the result as follows:
PRIORITYDETAIL COUNT(1)
StandardPatch 27
StandardInitial 11
StandardProduction deployment5
High PriorPatch 1

I ran into something that has me wondering about which errors are caught at compile-time, and which are caught at runtime. There is a pretty big package with lots of complicated queries that heavily use GROUP BY, and in the last couple of years I thought I never had the case of an ORA-00979 happening an RUNTIME, which is now happening.
The last heavy changes in that package did I make in the Oracle 9.2 days, and I *believe* (although my memory might be wrong) that back then the ORA-00979 errors came up at compile time.
So is it normal that the error doesn't show up during compile time, only during runtime, or should it be considered a bug?
SQL> CREATE TABLE test_tab(a NUMBER(1), b NUMBER(1));
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO test_tab VALUES (1,1);

I have a very simple table with 2 columsn. As_of_date is one of the column. This column is "Date" data type.
When I use distinct clause inside a to_char function it gives the following error:
ORA-00936: missing expression
00936. 00000 - "missing expression"
The Sql is
select to_char(distinct(as_of_date),'mm-dd-yyyy') from sales
I can't see any syntax error in the sql..but forsome reason, it doesn't work.

I have 2 tables used in this problem: ODETAILS and ORDERS.
ODETAILS has the following columns: ONO, PNO, QTY, COST
ORDERS has the following columns: ONO, CNO, ENO, RECEIVED, SHIPPED, ORDER_COST
UPDATE ORDERS
SET ORDER_COST= 1 * ( select SUM(
SELECT COST
FROM ODETAILS
WHERE ORDERS.PNO=ODETAILS.PNO
)
);
In ODETAILS there can be more than 1 row for 1 order. So I'm trying to add all the COSTs in ODETAILS.

I have two columns Department and EmpName:
Department EmpName
____________________________________
Sales empname1
Sales empname2
Marketing empname3
Development empname4
Now I want to count the number of employees in every department. I want the output to be
Department Total
______________________
Sales 2
Marketing 1
Development 1
I am retrieving names of the department through a subquery
The query I am trying to execute is:
SELECT Department, Employee FROM
( SELECT ...query from other table) AS Department, count( A.EmpName) AS Employee
FROM Employer A, EmployeeInfo B
WHERE (A.EmpID = B.EmpID AND A.EmpCategory like 'Category2')
GROUP BY Department
I know that you cannot group by using aliases and hence a little work around, but still the query isn't working.

I am running a GROUP BY query on a few columns of enumerated data like:
select count(*), Condition, Size
group by Condition, Size;
COUNT(*) CONDITION SIZE
-------- ---------- --------
3 MINT L
2 FAIR L
4 FAIR M
1 MINT S
Well, let's say I also have a timestamp field in the database. I cannot run a group by with that involved because the time is recorded to the milisec and is unique for every record. Instead, I want to include this in my group by function based on whether or not it is NULL.
For example:
COUNT(*) CONDITION SIZE SOLDDATE
-------- ---------- -------- ----------
3 MINT L ISNULL
2 FAIR L NOTNULL
2 FAIR M NOTNULL
2 FAIR M ISNULL
1 MINT S ISNULL

I'm trying to group sets of data based on time separations between records and then count how many records are in each group.
In the example below, I want to return the count for each group of data, so Group 1=5, Group 2=5 and Group 3=5
SELECT AREA_ID AS "AREA ID",
LOC_ID AS "LOCATION ID",
TEST_DATE AS "DATE",
TEST_TIME AS "TIME"
FROM MON_TEST_MASTER
WHERE AREA_ID =89
AND LOC_ID ='3015'
AND TEST_DATE ='10/19/1994';
[code]....
Group 1 = 8:00:22 to 8:41:22
Group 2 = 11:35:47 to 11:35:47
Group 3 = 15:13:46 to 15:13:46
Keep in mind the times will always change, and sometime go over the one hour mark, but no group will have more then a one hour separation between records.

I have a table where i need to update one field values based on another field of the same table , simply as it is.I have done this using one select all check box , on clicking that all check boxes of item_trans table will get selected , then i will un select some of check box and then using one button, i will update the value of the fields which are checked only.
I have put the sample code but when i am updating its taking long time and hanging.I am also attaching the form based on the test case provided.
--tables with insert statement
create table item_trans (trans_item varchar2(12),trans_qty number,trans_act_qty number)
insert into item_trans(TRANS_ITEM,TRANS_QTY,TRANS_ACT_QTY) VALUES ('TREE1',40,NULL);
insert into item_trans(TRANS_ITEM,TRANS_QTY,TRANS_ACT_QTY) VALUES ('TREE2',20,NULL);
insert into item_trans(TRANS_ITEM,TRANS_QTY,TRANS_ACT_QTY) VALUES ('TREE3',20,NULL);
--i want to set the value of trans_Act_qty as trans_qty
--i create one dummy or test block to keep the select all check box. for that table test script is
CREATE TABLE TEST
(
C VARCHAR2(2000 BYTE),
B NUMBER,
A NUMBER
);
insert into test (C,B,A) values ('A',1,1);
--code written in select all check box which is created on test.block.
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('item_trans');
FIRST_RECORD;
LOOP
:M_END_YN := :M_END_ALL;
[code].......
--code written in M_END_YN ( actual check boxes where i will uncheck).
IF :M_END_YN = 'N' THEN
:M_END_ALL := 'N';
END IF;
--code written on button to update those values which are checked.
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('item_trans');
FIRST_RECORD;
LOOP
IF :M_END_YN = 'Y' THEN

I am New to Apex. Im using Apex Version 4.2.
I have a tab named APPROPRIATIONS it has 10 fields. Among which is PROJECT NUMBER, AUTHORIZAION DATE (CALENDER TYPE POPUP), And FUNDS CHECK FLAG.
The Scenario is depending upon PROJECT NUMBER the Fields are Populated including FUNDS CHECK FLAG .
But the AUTHORIZAION DATE is a MANDATORY field has to be filled by User
The Requirement is to make AUTHORIZAION DATE as MANDATORY only when the FUNDS CHECK FLAG is *"BLANK "* or *“Y”*
If the FUNDS CHECK FLAG is *“N”* then the AUTHORIZAION DATE to be made OPTIONAL.

I have a complex expression coming as an input and I have to break that into smaller one to evaluate each of them. Explained in example:
Let's assume, I have an input string as "(({A}&{B})||({C}||{D})&({E}||({F}&{G})))". My requirement is to break into logical smaller groups like
1. ({F}&{G})
2. ({E}||({F}&{G}))
3. ({C}||{D})
4. (({A}&{B})
