• Listagg function gives ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression error

  Hello

  I have an environment that supports the Listagg function. Suite works perfectly:

  Select task_code, LISTAGG(ename||) e ('| role |') (',',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ename) as employees

  team

  where task_code = '01.07.05'

  Task_code group

  However, this is just a test request, the real is a little wider and I can't get the function works, I get ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression error.

  Here's my query (the column names are in Dutch, but that shouldn't really be a problem):

  I don't really understand your other question:

  Is below for example, a group of expression?

  op_teamplanning.subtaak_mijlpaal

  After some additional research:

  The group by mistake is not appear anymore when I delete all fields after the listagg field, that might be a clue to the solution.

  It is not difficult to understand. You can have other columns not aggregated in your projection on the side of those listed in the group by expression.

  The reason for ORA-01489 is that the resulting string will become long and exceeds 4000 bytes.

  You will find several solution in this forum.

  For example

  Hello

  Welcome to the forum.

  When you use the aggregate functions such as min, max, sum, etc. you have to group the columns not aggregated in the select query.

  Try this.

  select d.managedserverid, s.hostname, m.port, a.applicationname, max(d.versionid)
  from table1 d, table2 m, table3 s, table4 a
  where d.applicationid = '1'
  and d.Active = 'True'
  and d.managedserverid = m.managedserverid
  and m.serverid = s.serverid
  and d.applicationid = a.applicationid
  group by d.managedserverid, s.hostname, m.port, a.applicationname

• Subquery in the select clause and not "a group by expression" error.

  Hi all
  I hope someone out there can help me out with this one. I have a sql query that performs a subquery in the select case combined with an aggregate function and gives me a "not a group by expression.
  
  I created a simplified example

   SELECT COUNT(*)                     ,
    ai.invoice_num invoice_number      ,
    ai.description invoice_description ,
    (SELECT poh.po_header_id

      ap_invoices ai
      WHERE ai.invoice_id = 1476932
    AND aid.project_id    = 8608   
    AND aid.task_id       = 462202  
    AND ai.invoice_id     = aid.invoice_id
   GROUP BY ai.invoice_num,
                  ai.description;

  I'm sure he expected me to add the po_number to the group by clause, but this does not work and gives the error "invalid identifier".
  
  Can someone suggest a way for a new concert the query so that I can add po_number to my education by clause.

  Country_code group, country)

  where Diff > 1

  Hello
  
  Oracle 11g r2, APEX 4.1.1.00.23.
  
  I have a few reports of type SQL Query (PL/SQL, returning the SQL query function body), so the source is as follows:

  end;

  Without no sort option, the report is made successfully.
  
  But I got the following error during a test to enable the sorting option for a column:

  I read about this error on the Oracle forums, and I saw it was a bug in an older version, but I thought it was fixed in 4.0.2...
  
  Any help would be appreciated.
  
  Thank you.

  The Order By clause and the column sort is kind of mutually exclusive.
  If your SQL in the report area has an Order By inside and you apply the sort order on the columns in the report attributes tab, then errors occur during execution.

  Concerning

  I apologize if it's really simple, but it made me turn round...
  
  I inherited the spaghetti code to fix and revise (550 line sql request sent from VBA). I'm putting it in pieces in the form of views.

  SELECT
  PROFILENAME,
  months,
  sum
  
  Of
  Credit_Report_Exposure_P_Sub_A
  
  UNION ALL
  
  (SELECT
  ccp_profile_name PROFILENAME,
  VWMONTH month,
  SUM SUM (PSJ_TOTAL_AMOUNT)
  Of
  Credit_Report_Exposure_P_Sub_B
  GROUP by
  VWMONTH,
  ccp_profile_name)
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  It works very well, to select the same 3 columns in each subquery (ignoring for a moment the wrong choice of alias 'months' and 'sum').
  
  But when I add the following WHERE clause:
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  WHERE
  month = ' 2008-09'
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  I get the error in the subject line - which is not properly completed.
  
  But: if I comment on each half of the UNION, so the WHERE clause works very well.
  
  Am I missing something obvious? I tried wrapping the whole of the UNION more in parentheses, and the first clause of the UNION as well, but that only creates more errors on supposed lack of right parens.
  
  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  Whenever you have a problem with a query, view query. It is unclear where exactly you added the WHERE clause.

  You don't need parentheses around the second part of the UNION all.

  Half of the effect of the WHERE clause of the will UNION ALL? If both, you must add two times, or do the UNION ALL in a subquery and add the WHERE clause to the query of super.

  When I run the level the lowest and second lowest level inline queries statements, which consists of a select field of data and functions, there is no error and capable of generating the result.
  
  But when I run the statement which refer to the alias of queries inline (STD, getCL), it prompted an error ORA-00979 not a group by expression. This happened only Oracle 11.2.0.3. If I run the statement in another version of Oracle (11 GR 1 material and below), I am able to generate the result.
  
  Please advice how can I fix this problem.

  It seems that this should be the "SAMPLE" TO_CHAR conversions "" SAMPLEDT ".

  You seem to be willing to cut the time part of SAMPLEDT. The best way to do so is TRUNC (SAMPLEDT).

  In each of the groups of clauses, replace TO_CHAR ('SAMPLE'. ("' SAMPLEDT ', 'dd-Mon-yyyy') with TRUNC ('SAMPLE'. (' "SAMPLEDT") and completely remove the TO_CHAR ('SAMPLE'. ("' SAMPLEDT ',"dd-mm-rrrr") in the last group of.

  Replace in selection lists, TO_CHAR ('SAMPLE'. ("' SAMPLEDT ', 'dd-Mon-yyyy') with TO_CHAR (TRUNC ('SAMPLE'. ((' ' SAMPLEDT '), 'dd-Mon-yyyy') and replace TO_CHAR ("SAMPLE". "SAMPLEDT", "dd-mm-rrrr") with TO_CHAR (TRUNC ("SAMPLE" ".")) " "" "SAMPLEDT"), "dd-mm-rrrr").

  These changes can take you the ORA-00979 not one group by expression.

  Also the date manipulation is wrong — you do implicit conversions to date using default formats, when what you seem to want is to truncate the time part. Instead of

   TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(SAMPLE.SAMPLEDT,'dd-mon-yyyy')) BETWEEN TO_DATE(TO_CHAR
          (:StartDate,'dd-Mon-RRRR')) AND TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(:StartDate,
          'dd-Mon-RRRR')) + 6
  

  use

   TRUNC(SAMPLE.SAMPLEDT) BETWEEN TRUNC(:StartDate) AND TRUNC(:StartDate) + 6
  

  I hope this helps.

• ORA-00979 in one but not the other. Why?
