Field must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function - sql

I'm trying to write a query containing subqueries, which contain aggregate functions. I get an error message telling me that I should include some of my fields in the GROUP BY clause of my main query, in which I don't use any aggregates.
I'm pretty new at SQL so this might be a silly mistake but I have been on it for days and I can't figure it out with the existing content.
WITH B AS
(
SELECT
A.Week
,A.ASIN
,A.GL
,sum(Case when Week = 'W1' then Total_GV_Price/Total_GVs else 0 end) as Wk1_AVG
,sum(Case when Week = 'W2' then Total_GV_Price/Total_GVs else 0 end) as Wk2_AVG
FROM A
WHERE Total_GVs > 0
GROUP BY A.Week, A.ASIN, A.GL
)
, C AS
(
SELECT
B.Week
,B.ASIN
,B.GL
,B.Wk1_AVG
,B.Wk2_AVG
,Case when NVL(Wk1_AVG,0) =0 then NULL else (Wk2_AVG - Wk1_AVG) / Wk1_AVG end as Price_var
FROM B
GROUP BY B.Week, B.ASIN, B.GL, B.Wk1_AVG, B.Wk2_AVG
)
SELECT C.*
FROM C
HAVING Price_var >= 0.3
So the error message is telling me: column "c.week" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function. And I don't understand what i'm not grouping or what I should be grouping.
I appreciate any comments and thank you for your help !

I'm not sure, because I can't reproduce the situation. But I think the problem lies in the SELECT ... FROM C at the end. You are using HAVING, which is used for aggregated columns (i.e. SUM(...)). Because the last SELECT has no aggregation a simple WHERE would suffice.
...
SELECT
C.*
FROM
C
WHERE Price_var >= 0.3
Hope this helps...

sql group by satisfying multiple conditions within the group

I have a table like below:
I want to select the group which has RELB_CD =9093 and INFO_SRC_CD with 7784. Both conditions should be present in the group. In the table below my output should be the group with id=139993690.
You can use aggregation with having:
select id
from t
group by id
having sum(case when relb_cd = 9093 then 1 else 0 end) > 0 and
sum(case when info_src_cde = 7784 then 1 else 0 end) > 0
hey use this code hope this will help you.
you have to ignore the date column because that one is not allowing to group
select id,fisc_ind, sum(sls_amt),relb_cd,info_scop,info_src_cd from yourtable group by id,fisc_ind,relb_cd,info_scop,info_src_cd
Another working answer. If your data are large, you could compare both GL's and this working answer and see which runs faster for you. I honestly don't know which is faster. This was slightly faster with a very short set of data.
select id
from table1
where relb_cd = 9093
intersect
select id
from table1
where info_src_cd = 7784

Using A Count And A Case Statement In One Query

I'm pretty much out of ideas on how to get this to work.I haven't really used SQL in several years so there's a lot I don't remember.
So here is what I would like to happen:
I return the rows where the Code field from table has the value 1208 AND estnumber = 1187216
Run a count on the selection, if 0 run a subquery
If >0 run a different subquery
I didn't get to the subquery part yet because I can't get this to work correctly at all. Right now I just want it to return text.
Here is the latest attempt, I'm actually using db2 but maybe we can ignore that for now and i'll work that part out later because it says the syntax isnt correct, but other validators disagree (if you dont know anything about db2 just use standard sql when giving advice)
SELECT
count(*) AS t
FROM
table
WHERE
(
ESTNUMBER = 1187216
AND CODE = 1208
)
AND CASE WHEN t = 0 THEN 'it is zero' ELSE 'it is not zero' END;
Are you trying to do something like this?
WITH c AS (
SELECT count(*) AS cnt
FROM table
WHERE ESTNUMBER = 1187216 AND CODE = 1208
)
SELECT s1.*
FROM subquery1 s1
WHERE (SELECT cnt FROM c) = 0
UNION ALL
SELECT s2.*
FROM subquery2 s2
WHERE (SELECT cnt FROM c) > 0;
This assumes that the columns returned by the subqueries are compatible (same number, same types).
There are better ways to write this query (notably using EXISTS and NOT EXISTS), but this conforms directly to how you asked the question.
The string value should come up in the select clause and not in the where filter.
SELECT
count(*) AS t,
(CASE WHEN count(*) = 0 THEN 'it is zero' ELSE 'it is not zero' END) display_str
FROM
table
WHERE
(
ESTNUMBER = 1187216
AND CODE = 1208
)
You're thinking like an imperative programmer, not a declarative one. That is, SQL doesn't have sequential execution: it's all or nothing.
So, here's the start, the bit that works:
SELECT count(*) AS t
FROM table
WHERE ESTNUMBER = 1187216 AND CODE = 1208
Now, to check for the value of count(*), you by now know that WHERE isn't going to work. That's because COUNT is an aggregate function. To look at the result of such of function, you use HAVING.
For your CASE to work, you can move it up into the area that can get count(*) results:
SELECT count(*) AS t
(CASE WHEN count(*) = 0 THEN 'it is zero' ELSE 'it is not zero' END) as msg
FROM table
WHERE ESTNUMBER = 1187216 AND CODE = 1208
Note that "t" is an alias you've given the result of count(*). In most SQL implementations, that alias can't be leveraged in the rest of the statement.
Now, for the either or kind of thing, it would be time to reconsider your approach and what you're really after. You'll probably ultimately have both result sets in your statement and choose how the results are served up.
Something like:
select a.id, a.ct, (case when a.ct=0 then b.amt else c.amt end) as amt
from (select id, count(*) as ct from table1) a
left join (select id, sum(amount) as amt from table2) b on a.id=b.id
left join (select id, sum(amount) as amt from table3) c on a.id=c.id
Hope this helps.

Why does this not return 0

I have a query like:
select nvl(nvl(sum(a.quantity),0)-nvl(cc.quantityCor,0),0)
from RCV_TRANSACTIONS a
LEFT JOIN (select c.shipment_line_id,c.oe_order_line_id,nvl(sum(c.quantity),0) quantityCor
from RCV_TRANSACTIONS c
where c.TRANSACTION_TYPE='CORRECT'
group by c.shipment_line_id,c.oe_order_line_id) cc on (a.shipment_line_id=cc.shipment_line_id and a.shipment_line_id=7085740)
where a.transaction_type='DELIVER'
and a.shipment_line_id=7085740
group by nvl(cc.quantityCor,0);
The query runs OK, but returns no value. I want it to return 0 if there is no quantity found. Where have I gone wrong?
An aggregation query with a GROUP BY returns no rows if all rows are filtered out.
An aggregation query with no GROUP BY always returns one row, even if all rows are filtered out.
So, just remove the GROUP BY. And change the SELECT to:
select coalesce(sum(a.quantity), 0) - coalesce(max(cc.quantityCor), 0)
I may be wrong, but it seems you merely want to subtract CORRECT quantity from DELIVER quantity for shipment 7085740. You don't need a complicated query for that. Especially your GROUP BY clauses make no sense if that is what you are after.
One way to write this query would be:
select
sum(case when transaction_type = 'DELIVER' then quantity else 0 end) -
sum(case when transaction_type = 'CORRECT' then quantity else 0 end) as diff
from rcv_transactions
where shipment_line_id = 7085740;
I had a query like this and was trying to return 'X' when the item is not valid.
SELECT case when segment1 is not null then segment1 else 'X' end
--INTO v_orgValidItem
FROM mtl_system_items_b
WHERE segment1='1676001000'--'Jul-00'--l_item
and organization_id=168;
..but it was returning NULL.
Changed to use aggregation with no group by and now it returns 'X' when the item is not valid.
SELECT case when max(segment1) is not null then max(segment1) else 'X' end valid
--INTO v_orgValidItem
FROM mtl_system_items_b
WHERE segment1='1676001000'--'Jul-00'--l_item
and organization_id=168;--l_ship_to_organization_id_pb;
Here is another example, proving the order of operations really matters.
When there is no match for this quote number, this query returns NULL:
SELECT MAX(NVL(QUOTE_VENDOR_QUOTE_NUMBER,0))
FROM PO_HEADERS_ALL
WHERE QUOTE_VENDOR_QUOTE_NUMBER='foo.bar';
..reversing the order of MAX and NVL makes all the difference. This query returns the NULL value condition:
SELECT NVL(MAX(QUOTE_VENDOR_QUOTE_NUMBER),0)
FROM PO_HEADERS_ALL
WHERE QUOTE_VENDOR_QUOTE_NUMBER='foo.bar';

Dividing 2 SELECT statements - 'SQL command not properly ended' error

I'm getting the ORA-00933 error referenced in the subject line for the following statement:

I've tried removing the aliases as suggested solution in other posts but that didn't change the problem. Any ideas? Thanks.
If you're running this in SQLPlus, it is possible that it misinterprets the division operator in the first column for the statement terminator character. Other tools may also be susceptible. Try moving the division operator, e.g. where list_price = 0) \
Answer is wrong, see comment by #Ben
Sub-queries to not have to be named... only if they're directly referenced, i.e. if there's more than one column with the same name in the full query
Subqueries have to be named. Consider changing:
from (select
...
group by a.name)
To:
from (select
...
group by a.name) SubQueryAlias
This does not directly answer your question, but I think the query can be simplified:
select case PLIs when 0 then -1 else PLIs_noprice / PLIs end from (
select
count(name) as PLIs,
count(case list_price when 0 then 1 end) as PLIs_noprice
from (
.... your innermost subselect, up to "group by" goes here ...
)
)
Somehow I can't paste your actual subselect code here, getting "Error submitting your post"... Not tested, as I don't have your tables.

SQL Nested Select statements with COUNT()

I'll try to describe as best I can, but it's hard for me to wrap my whole head around this problem let alone describe it....
I am trying to select multiple results in one query to display the current status of a database. I have the first column as one type of record, and the second column as a sub-category of the first column. The subcategory is then linked to more records underneath that, distinguished by status, forming several more columns. I need to display every main-category/subcategory combination, and then the count of how many of each sub-status there are beneath that subcategory in the subsequent columns. I've got it so that I can display the unique combinations, but I'm not sure how to nest the select statements so that I can select the count of a completely different table from the main query. My problem lies in that to display the main category and sub category, I can pull from one table, but I need to count from a different table. Any ideas on the matter would be greatly appreciated
Here's what I have. The count statements would be replaced with the count of each status:
SELECT wave_num "WAVE NUMBER",
int_tasktype "INT / TaskType",
COUNT (1) total,
COUNT (1) "LOCKED/DISABLED",
COUNT (1) released,
COUNT (1) "PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED",
COUNT (1) assembled
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT
(t.invn_need_type || ' / ' || s.code_desc) int_tasktype,
t.task_genrtn_ref_nbr wave_num
FROM sys_code s, task_hdr t
WHERE t.task_genrtn_ref_nbr IN
(SELECT ship_wave_nbr
FROM ship_wave_parm
WHERE TRUNC (create_date_time) LIKE SYSDATE - 7)
AND s.code_type = '590'
AND s.rec_type = 'S'
AND s.code_id = t.task_type),
ship_wave_parm swp
GROUP BY wave_num, int_tasktype
ORDER BY wave_num

Guessing a bit,both regarding your problem and Oracle (which I've - unfortunately - never used), hopefully it will give you some ideas. Sorry for completely messing up the way you write SQL, SELECT ... FROM (SELECT ... WHERE ... IN (SELECT ...)) simply confuses me, so I have to restructure:
with tmp(int_tasktype, wave_num) as
(select distinct (t.invn_need_type || ' / ' || s.code_desc), t.task_genrtn_ref_nbr
from sys_code s
join task_hdr t
on s.code_id = t.task_type
where s.code_type = '590'
and s.rec_type = 'S'
and exists(select 1 from ship_wave_parm p
where t.task_genrtn_ref_nbr = p.ship_wave_nbr
and trunc(p.create_date_time) = sysdate - 7))
select t.wave_num "WAVE NUMBER", t.int_tasktype "INT / TaskType",
count(*) TOTAL,
sum(case when sst.sub_status = 'LOCKED' then 1 end) "LOCKED/DISABLED",
sum(case when sst.sub_status = 'RELEASED' then 1 end) RELEASED,
sum(case when sst.sub_status = 'PARTIAL' then 1 end) "PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED",
sum(case when sst.sub_status = 'ASSEMBLED' then 1 end) ASSEMBLED
from tmp t
join sub_status_table sst
on t.wave_num = sst.wave_num
group by t.wave_num, t.int_tasktype
order by t.wave_num
As you notice, I don't know anything about the table with the substatuses.
You can use inner join, grouping and count to get your result:
suppose tables are as follow :
cat (1)--->(n) subcat (1)----->(n) subcat_detail.
so the query would be :
select cat.title cat_title ,subcat.title subcat_title ,count(*) as cnt from
cat inner join sub_cat on cat.id=subcat.cat_id
inner join subcat_detail on subcat.ID=am.subcat_detail_id
group by cat.title,subcat.title
Generally when you need different counts, you need to use the CASE statment.
select count(*) as total
, case when field1 = "test' then 1 else 0 end as testcount
, case when field2 = 'yes' then 1 else 0 endas field2count
FROM table1
