SQL & PL/SQL :: ORA-00979 - Not A GROUP BY Expression At Runtime?

Oct 13, 2010

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);

1 row created.

SQL>
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test_prod AS
2 v_a NUMBER;
3 v_b NUMBER;
4 BEGIN

6 SELECT a,b
7 INTO v_a, v_b
8 FROM test_tab
9 GROUP BY a;
10
11 END;
12 /

Procedure created.

SQL & PL/SQL :: ORA-00979 / Not A GROUP BY Expression

Jan 3, 2012

I wrote a query for minimum average salary of Job_id using inline view but it is not working..

The query is as follow

SELECT job_id, avg(salary)
FROM employees , (SELECT MIN(AVG(salary)) min_avg_sal
FROM employees
GROUP BY job_id) b
GROUP BY job_id
having avg(salary)=b.min_avg_sal;

It returns error as

################################
having avg(salary)=b.min_avg_sal

SQL & PL/SQL :: Combining Rownum And Group By Gives - Not A Group By Expression

Jun 23, 2011

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 ?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Group Through Expression Inside Group By?

May 17, 2011

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

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)

Group Records With Less Than One Hour Separation And Count How Many Per Group

Nov 1, 2013

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.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Evaluate Dynamic Math Expression?

Jun 22, 2008

I have a user interface where the user can enter a formula using a set of parameters and operators. For eg , the user is given a list of parameters, say : Width, Height , Gauge. The list of operators include standard math functions : + - / * ^

He can select and create a formula like gauge * width. This is stored in a table. At a later time a job is scheduled to evaluate the formula based on parameters for width, gauge and height.

I can evaluate the expression by substituting each parameter.

I can do this using dynamic sql. However I'm not sure how to evaluate the ^ symbol. The equivalent of this is power function.

So if a user enters (height * 2) + (width^2) . How do i evaluate this. I am doing this in pl/sql.

SQL & PL/SQL :: PL-00382 Expression Is Of Wrong Type

Apr 12, 2013

I am using pipelined functions. I've written a few with no problem this one seems to be giving an error when I am using techniques that appear very similar to ones that work.

I am doing this all in a package;

The type definition is;

TYPE SUSPECT_LINKAGES_FAC_RECORD IS RECORD
(
PATIENT_ID TUMOR.TUMOR_PATIENT_ID%TYPE,
CENTRAL_SEQ TUMOR.TUMOR_CENTRAL_SEQ%TYPE,
MP_REVIEW_FLAG NUMBER(1),
FACILITY_FLAG NUMBER
);

The variable definition is;

OUT_REC SUSPECT_LINKAGES_FAC_RECORD;

The line with the error is;

PIPE ROW(OUT_REC);

This is the entire function;

FUNCTION GET_SUSPECT_LINKAGE_FAC_FLAGS RETURN SUSPECT_LINKAGES_TABLE PIPELINED AS
CURSOR CURS_SUSPECT_LINKAGES IS
SELECT * FROM TABLE(TUMOR_UTILITIES.GET_SUSPECT_LINKAGE_FLAGS())
order by 1,2,3 DESC;
TEMP_REC SUSPECT_LINKAGES_RECORD;
MATCH_COUNT NUMBER;
OUT_REC SUSPECT_LINKAGES_FAC_RECORD;

I get "PL-00382 expression is of wrong type" on both pipe row (out_rec); lines.

Function To Take In Expression And Fetch The Result

Jun 5, 2009

I have an arithmatic expression which is dynamic say

expression = [Col5]/[Col1]

I will be using this in building a dynamic SQL.so i have to make sure that the divisible by zero is taken care. In the expression Col1,Col5 are values coming from a SQL.

For the above expression, my conversion will be

ROUND( ((CCol4 / DECODE (CCol1, 0, NULL, CCol1) )), 0).

I have to build a function which takes in the expression and fetches me the result.My expression can be any combination of arithmaticexpression involving columns.

Ex:
[Col4 + Col2]/[Col3-Col1]*[Col5].

SQL & PL/SQL :: Getting ORA-00936 / Expression Missing Error?

Mar 25, 2013

I ran into a problem recently which has to do with the following query:

SELECT '' || ROUND(GEOGR_LAENGE,5) || ',' || ROUND(GEOGR_BREITE,5) || '," [BUE] ' || BAUFORM_GRUPPE || '"', KM
AS TEXT
FROM MYTABLEA mmtable
WHERE (mmtable.GEOGR_LAENGE IS NOT NULL
AND mmtable.GEOGR_BREITE IS NOT NULL
AND mmtable.STRECKE_NR IN
(

[code].....

The problem is, that Oracle alerts a missing expression at line 4, and highlights the "IS NOT NULL". Personally I don't see that anything is wrong with this line. I think the problems source is somewhere else but I cannot find it.

I'll give you a little bit of background to the script:

What I am trying to achieve is to request the values in the first line with the following conditions:

- mmtable.GEOGR_LAENGE, GEOGR_BREITE must not be empty
- rbtable.STRECKE_NR for the requested line (which is similar to mmtable.STRECKE_NR) must have "MITTE" as a value for NL_NAME
- mmtable.KM => rbtable.VON_KM
- mmtable.KM <= rbtable.BIS_KM

so that only those lines will be returned.

PL/SQL :: Regular Expression Matching All Given Words

Nov 8, 2012

I'm trying to match all sentences that contain words starting with given search tokens at least once. For example: if the given search token words are one and two then only sentences like "one plus one is two" should match. And should not match sentences like "one plus three is four". I was able to come up with this but I need a AND condition which I'm unable to get it right.

select count(*) from dual where regexp_like('one plus one is two', '(^|s)one|three', 'i');

Currently this gives a count of 1. But needs to give a count of 0 when the regexp is fixed.

search words : one two

one is less than two -> match
two is greater than one -> match
onetwo is union of two numbers -> match
onetwo is union of 2 numbers -> not a match as 'two' is not at the beginning of a word
one is less than three -> not a match as two is not present.
