Error 979: not a GROUP BY expression - sql

Getting an error when trying to return the LAST contact date
SELECT CDC.pat_id, MAX(SOC.contact_date),
FROM hb61.cdcsaar_patients CDC
JOIN clarity.social_hx SOC ON CDC.pat_id=SOC.pat_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN clarity.smoking_cess_hx CESS ON CDC.pat_id=CESS.pat_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN clarity.social_hx_alc_use ALC on CDC.pat_id=ALC.pat_id
GROUP BY SOC.contact_date
;

You need to put the selected columns (in this case, CDC.pat_id) on the GROUP BY clause, instead of col you're applying the aggregation function.
SELECT
CDC.pat_id,
MAX(SOC.contact_date)
FROM
hb61.cdcsaar_patients CDC
JOIN clarity.social_hx SOC ON CDC.pat_id = SOC.pat_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN clarity.smoking_cess_hx CESS ON CDC.pat_id = CESS.pat_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN clarity.social_hx_alc_use ALC on CDC.pat_id = ALC.pat_id
GROUP BY
CDC.pat_id;

You need to put any columns that you're not applying an aggregate function to in the GROUP BY clause (in this case CDC.pat_id, rather than SOC.contact_date).

ORA-01417: a table may be outer joined to at most one other table

I have this query below for oracle sql:

When i execute it, i got ORA-01417: a table may be outer joined to at most one other table. Need help for this error.
Please use below query. In the current query, your aggregation is incorrect, you have to use same function as you use in the select query. And changed the filter criteria to WHERE instead of AND. Also not sure why you are selecting rownum=10,it will provide you only one record. Is that fine?

Joining a Query and sub-query

I'm trying to join a query and a sub-query in Access but haven't the faintest idea on how to do that. Rather than saving the sub-query as a different query and then joining it to the main query.
Main query (with reference to sub-query):
SELECT tb200_IraDataIn.tb200_niarnum, tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IraAccDesc,
tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IraAccNum, tb15_Securities.tb15_IsActiveRegister,
tb15_Securities.tb15_NiarDesc, tb15_Securities.tb15_ManpikID, tb200_IraDataIn.tb200_Shovi, tb10_Afik.tb10_InvestTool,
tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IsActive, tb200_IraDataIn.tb200_Shovi,
tb200_IraDataIn.tb200_Shovi/SubQuery1.SumOftb200_Shovi AS Expr1
FROM SubQuery1
INNER JOIN (tb10_Afik
INNER JOIN (tb15_Securities
INNER JOIN (tb206_IraAccount
INNER JOIN tb200_IraDataIn
ON tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IraAccNum = tb200_IraDataIn.tb200_accountNumber)
ON tb15_Securities.tb15_NiarID = tb200_IraDataIn.tb200_niarnum)
ON (tb10_Afik.tb10_AfikID = tb200_IraDataIn.tb200_afik) AND (tb10_Afik.tb10_Erp =tb200_IraDataIn.tb200_ERP))
ON SubQuery1.tb206_IraAccNum = tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IraAccNum
WHERE (((tb15_Securities.tb15_IsActiveRegister)=Yes) AND ((tb10_Afik.tb10_InvestTool)=1
Or (tb10_Afik.tb10_InvestTool)=4 Or (tb10_Afik.tb10_InvestTool)=21 Or
(tb10_Afik.tb10_InvestTool)=3) AND ((tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IsActive)=Yes) AND
(([tb200_IraDataIn].[tb200_Shovi]/[SubQuery1].[SumOftb200_Shovi])>0.1));
subquery (saved as SubQuery1):
SELECT tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IraAccDesc, tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IraAccNum, Sum(tb200_IraDataIn.tb200_Shovi) AS SumOftb200_Shovi
FROM tb206_IraAccount
INNER JOIN tb200_IraDataIn ON tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IraAccNum = tb200_IraDataIn.tb200_accountNumber
WHERE (((tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IsActive)=Yes))
GROUP BY tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IraAccDesc, tb206_IraAccount.tb206_IraAccNum;
How can I put the sql statement of the sub-query inside the same Sql statement of the main query, unlike now?
Thanks!
Nest between parentheses. Nothing else in the main query changes.

Postgresql - Conditional Join if data exist

My current query show the data from the table called "Buque" and has some references from another tables. The problem is when i execute the query it never shows the result because it consumes too much memory i guess.
The current query i have
select buq.buq_codigo, tbu.tbu_codigo, tbu.tbu_nombre, pai.pai_codigo, pai.pai_nombre,
pue.pto_codigo, pue.pto_nombre, lin.lin_codigo, lin.lin_nombre, tra.tra_codigo,
tra.tra_nombre, buq.buq_nombre, buq.buq_des, buq.num_trb, buq.num_eslora,
buq.max_tons, buq.reg_lloyd, buq.buq_codigo1, buq.codigo_omi,
case buq.buq_estado when 'A' then 'Activo' else 'Inactivo' end as buq_estado
from publico.mae_buque as buq, publico.mae_tipbuque as tbu, publico.mae_pais as pai,
publico.mae_puerto as pue, publico.mae_linea as lin, publico.mae_trafico as tra
where buq.tbu_codigo = tbu.tbu_codigo or
buq.pai_codigo = pai.pai_codigo or
buq.pto_codigo = pue.pto_codigo or
buq.lin_codigo = lin.lin_codigo or
buq.tra_codigo = tra.tra_codigo
I also tried with inner joins but the problem is it returns me the data that meets the conditions of the joins. In other words, if the join has data to compare, returns the name, if not, show the null data.
The query must return me 611 records, with inner joins returns 68 records.
Concerning your desired result, use left outer joins, which fill up any non-existing rows of the right hand side table with null-values;
Concerning the out of memory issue, note that you used or to connect your tables; this actually leads to the fact that almost every record of the involved tables is connected to almost every other record (almost a cross join / cartesian product); This can get very large if you connect 6 tables...
select buq.buq_codigo, tbu.tbu_codigo, tbu.tbu_nombre, pai.pai_codigo, pai.pai_nombre,
pue.pto_codigo, pue.pto_nombre, lin.lin_codigo, lin.lin_nombre, tra.tra_codigo,
tra.tra_nombre, buq.buq_nombre, buq.buq_des, buq.num_trb, buq.num_eslora,
buq.max_tons, buq.reg_lloyd, buq.buq_codigo1, buq.codigo_omi,
case buq.buq_estado when 'A' then 'Activo' else 'Inactivo' end as buq_estado
from publico.mae_buque as buq
left outer join publico.mae_tipbuque as tbu on buq.tbu_codigo = tbu.tbu_codigo
left outer join publico.mae_pais as pai on (buq.pai_codigo = pai.pai_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_puerto as pue on (buq.pto_codigo = pue.pto_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_linea as lin on (buq.lin_codigo = lin.lin_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_trafico as tra on (buq.tra_codigo = tra.tra_codigo)
You have to use left outer join:
select *
from
publico.mae_buque as buq
left outer join publico.mae_tipbuque as tbu on (buq.tbu_codigo = tbu.tbu_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_pais as pai on (buq.pai_codigo = pai.pai_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_puerto as pue on (buq.pto_codigo = pue.pto_codigo )
left outer join publico.mae_linea as lin on (buq.lin_codigo = lin.lin_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_trafico as tra on (buq.tra_codigo = tra.tra_codigo);

LEFT JOIN ON COALESCE(a, b, c) - very strange behavior

I have encountered very strange behavior of my query and I wasted a lot of time to understand what causes it, in vane. So I am asking for your help.
SELECT count(*) FROM main_table
LEFT JOIN front_table ON front_table.pk = main_table.fk_front_table
LEFT JOIN info_table ON info_table.pk = front_table.fk_info_table
LEFT JOIN key_table ON key_table.pk = COALESCE(info_table.fk_key_table, front_table.fk_key_table_1, front_table.fk_key_table_2)
LEFT JOIN side_table ON side_table.fk_front_table = front_table.pk
WHERE side_table.pk = (SELECT MAX(pk) FROM side_table WHERE fk_front_table = front_table.pk)
OR side_table.pk IS NULL
Seems like a simple join query, with coalesce, I've used this technique before(not too many times) and it worked right.
In this query I don't ever get nulls for side_table.pk. If I remove coalesce or just don't use key_table, then the query returns rows with many null side_table.pk, but if I add coalesce join, I can't get those nulls.
It seems key_table and side_table don't have anything in common, but the result is so weird.
Also, when I don't use side_table and WHERE clause, the count(*) result with coalesce and without differs, but I can't see any pattern in rows missing, it seems random!
Real query:
SELECT ECHANGE.EXC_AUTO_KEY, STOCK_RESERVATIONS.STR_AUTO_KEY FROM EXCHANGE
LEFT JOIN WO_BOM ON WO_BOM.WOB_AUTO_KEY = EXCHANGE.WOB_AUTO_KEY
LEFT JOIN VIEW_WO_SUB ON VIEW_WO_SUB.WOO_AUTO_KEY = WO_BOM.WOO_AUTO_KEY
LEFT JOIN STOCK stock3 ON stock3.STM_AUTO_KEY = EXCHANGE.STM_AUTO_KEY
LEFT JOIN STOCK stock2 ON stock2.STM_AUTO_KEY = EXCHANGE.ORIG_STM
LEFT JOIN CONSIGNMENT_CODES con2 ON con2.CNC_AUTO_KEY = stock2.CNC_AUTO_KEY
LEFT JOIN CONSIGNMENT_CODES con3 ON con3.CNC_AUTO_KEY = stock3.CNC_AUTO_KEY
LEFT JOIN CI_UTL ON CI_UTL.CUT_AUTO_KEY = EXCHANGE.CUT_AUTO_KEY
LEFT JOIN PART_CONDITION_CODES pcc2 ON pcc2.PCC_AUTO_KEY = stock2.PCC_AUTO_KEY
LEFT JOIN PART_CONDITION_CODES pcc3 ON pcc3.PCC_AUTO_KEY = stock3.PCC_AUTO_KEY
LEFT JOIN STOCK_RESERVATIONS ON STOCK_RESERVATIONS.STM_AUTO_KEY = stock3.STM_AUTO_KEY
LEFT JOIN WAREHOUSE wh2 ON wh2.WHS_AUTO_KEY = stock2.WHS_ORIGINAL
LEFT JOIN SM_HISTORY ON (SM_HISTORY.STM_AUTO_KEY = EXCHANGE.ORIG_STM AND SM_HISTORY.WOB_REF = EXCHANGE.WOB_AUTO_KEY)
LEFT JOIN RC_DETAIL ON stock3.RCD_AUTO_KEY = RC_DETAIL.RCD_AUTO_KEY
LEFT JOIN RC_HEADER ON RC_HEADER.RCH_AUTO_KEY = RC_DETAIL.RCH_AUTO_KEY
LEFT JOIN WAREHOUSE wh3 ON wh3.WHS_AUTO_KEY = COALESCE(RC_DETAIL.WHS_AUTO_KEY, stock3.WHS_ORIGINAL, stock3.WHS_AUTO_KEY)
WHERE STOCK_RESERVATIONS.STR_AUTO_KEY = (SELECT MAX(STR_AUTO_KEY) FROM STOCK_RESERVATIONS WHERE STM_AUTO_KEY = stock3.STM_AUTO_KEY)
OR STOCK_RESERVATIONS.STR_AUTO_KEY IS NULL
Removing LEFT JOIN WAREHOUSE wh3 gives me about unique EXC_AUTO_KEY values with a lot of NULL STR_AUTO_KEY, while leaving this row removes all NULL STR_AUTO_KEY.
I recreated simple tables with numbers with the same structure and query works without any problems o.0
I have a feeling COALESCE is acting as a REQUIRED flag for the joined table, hence shooting the LEFT JOIN to become an INNER JOIN.
Try this:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM main_table
LEFT JOIN front_table ON front_table.pk = main_table.fk_front_table
LEFT JOIN info_table ON info_table.pk = front_table.fk_info_table
LEFT JOIN key_table ON key_table.pk = NVL(info_table.fk_key_table, NVL(front_table.fk_key_table_1, front_table.fk_key_table_2))
LEFT JOIN (SELECT fk_, MAX(pk) as pk FROM side_table GROUP BY fk_) st ON st.fk_ = front_table.pk
NVL might behave just the same though...
I undertood what was the problem (not entirely though): there is a LEFT JOIN VIEW_WO_SUB in original query, 3rd line. It causes this query to act in a weird way.
When I replaced the view with the other table which contained the information I needed, the query started returning right results.
Basically, with this view join, NVL, COALESCE or CASE join with combination of certain arguments did not work along with OR clause in WHERE subquery, all rest was fine. ALthough, I could get the query to work with this view join, by changing the order of joined tables, I had to place table participating in where subquery to the bottom.

Why does my SELECT return only a subset of the rows?

I'm working with an Oracle database for the first time and stumbled upon another problem again. When I want to select all the rows in a table with some JOINS I only get the first 350 rows of about 15.000 rows.
Anyone know if there is a set limit somewhere I'm not aware of?
Below is my query if needed:
SELECT orders.plant, orders.workcenter, workcenters.occupied,
workcenters.section, workcentersections.section, orders.capacitycat,
orders.week, orders.earlieststartdate, orders.lateststartdate,
orders.useropstatus, orders.programstatus, orders.reqhours,
orders.finishdate, orders.reqquantity, orders.material, parts.TYPE,
parttypes.TYPE, orders.ordernumber, orders.operation,
orders.preoperation, orders.seqoperation, orders.projectcode,
orders.queuetime, orders.hoursworked, orders.operationtext,
orders.shorttext
FROM (((orders INNER JOIN workcenters ON orders.workcenter =
workcenters.code)
INNER JOIN
workcentersections ON workcenters.section = workcentersections.ID)
INNER JOIN
parts ON orders.material = parts.material)
INNER JOIN
parttypes ON parts.TYPE = parttypes.ID
Assuming your ORDERS table contains 15000 rows and your original query returns only 350 rows, you can replace your (INNER) JOINs with OUTER JOINs:
SELECT orders.plant, orders.workcenter, workcenters.occupied,
workcenters.section, workcentersections.section, orders.capacitycat,
orders.week, orders.earlieststartdate, orders.lateststartdate,
orders.useropstatus, orders.programstatus, orders.reqhours,
orders.finishdate, orders.reqquantity, orders.material, parts.TYPE,
parttypes.TYPE, orders.ordernumber, orders.operation,
orders.preoperation, orders.seqoperation, orders.projectcode,
orders.queuetime, orders.hoursworked, orders.operationtext,
orders.shorttext
FROM orders
LEFT OUTER JOIN workcenters ON orders.workcenter = workcenters.code
LEFT OUTER JOIN workcentersections
ON workcenters.section = workcentersections.ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN parts ON orders.material = parts.material
LEFT OUTER JOIN parttypes ON parts.TYPE = parttypes.ID
This will give you all rows from ORDERS (you might get duplicates if you haven't got strict 1:N relationships).
Then, you should replace the LEFT OUTER JOINs one-by-one with INNER JOINs and check the row count of each of these modified queries to find out which of the JOINs is responsible for the missing data.
