I'm having trouble with Filemaker's SQL commands.
SELECT SUM(Energy) AS tot, HOUR(TimePST) AS hr FROM MyData GROUP BY hr
Gives me this error:
The column "hr" does not exist in any table in the column reference's scope.
Is there a way to get around this?
I believe all you need to do is:
select sum(Energy) as tot, hour(TimePST) as hr from MyData Group by Hour(TimePST)

This may be a simple fix but Im somehow drawing a blank. I have this code below, and I want the results that I got from it to be added into their own column in an existing table. How would i go about doing this.
Select full_name, SUM(total) as sum_sales
FROM loyalty
where invoiceyear = 2013
GROUP BY full_name
order by sum_sales DESC;
This leaves me with one column with the name of employee and the second with their sales from that year.
How can i just take these results and add them into a column in addition to the table
Is it as simple as...
Alter table loyalty
Add column "2013 sales"
and then add in some sort of condition?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
If i got your question right, you need to first alter the table allowing the new field to be null (you can change it later on) then you could use an insert clause to store the value permanently.
Oracle 11g. Oracle Apex 5.1
I need to Merge the columns without merging the data and Add a column heading in Oracle Apex Interactive Report.
For Example
I have a table like this:
I want the table output like this:
How can I achieve the output in Report Select Statement?
If I am using below query in Oracle Apex Interactive Report:
TITLE LEFT ' amount_column Quantity_column'
SELECT Date, Amount1, Amount2, Amount3, Quantity1, Quantity2
FROM table_name;
I am getting error as: ORA-20001: Query must begin with SELECT or WITH.
In oracle Apex 5.1 we can create such groups in Interactive Grid(IG).
To create a group, steps are:
Go to Attribute of IG -> create Group -> add a name to group.
To assign a group on column, steps are:
go to particular column(s) name -> under layout property -> select group name
Save and run the page and it will work.
If you are running the query to get a SQL/Plus style textual output (using Crtl-F5 / run-as-script within SQL Developer) then you can use the commands for formatting SQL*Plus reports such as COLUMN and TTITLE to make it appear like your desired result:
Something like (untested):
COLUMN "Date" FORMAT A9
COLUMN Amount1 FORMAT 9999.99
COLUMN Amount2 FORMAT 9999.99
COLUMN Amount3 FORMAT 9999.99
COLUMN Quantity1 FORMAT 999999999
COLUMN Quantity2 FORMAT 999999999
TTITLE LEFT ' Amount column Quantity Column'
SELECT "Date", Amount1, Amount2, Amount3, Quantity1, Quantity2
FROM table_name;
If you want to do it in the grid (using F5 to run the query within SQL Developer) then you are out of luck and it is not possible.
I'm fairly proficient in mySQL and MSSQL, but I'm just getting started with postgres. I'm sure this is a simple issue, so to be brief:
SQL error:
ERROR: column "incidents.open_date" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
In statement:
SELECT date(open_date), COUNT(*)
FROM incidents
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY open_date
The type for open_date is timestamp with time zone, and I get the same results if I use GROUP BY date(open_date).
I've tried going over the postgres docs and some examples online, but everything seems to indicate that this should be valid.
The problem is with the unadorned open_date in the ORDER BY clause.
This should do it:
SELECT date(open_date), COUNT(*)
FROM incidents
GROUP BY date(open_date)
ORDER BY date(open_date);
This would also work (though I prefer not to use integers to refer to columns for maintenance reasons):
SELECT date(open_date), COUNT(*)
FROM incidents
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1;
"open_date" is not in your select list, "date(open_date)" is.
Either of these will work:
order by date(open_date)
order by 1
You can also name your columns in the select statement, and then refer to that alias:
select date(open_date) "alias" ... order by alias
Some databases require the keyword, AS, before the alias in your select.
I have created a database as part of university assignment and I have hit a snag with the question in the title.
More likely I am being asked to find out how many films each company has made. Which suggests to me a group by query. But I have no idea where to begin. It is only a two mark question but the syntax is not clicking in my head.
My schema is:
CREATE TABLE Movie
(movieID CHAR(3) ,
title CHAR(36),
year NUMBER,
company CHAR(50),
totalNoms NUMBER,
awardsWon NUMBER,
DVDPrice NUMBER(5,2),
discountPrice NUMBER(5,2))
There are other tables but at first glance I don't think they are relevant to this question.
I am using sqlplus10
The answer you need comes from three basic SQL concepts, I'll step through them with you. If you need more assistance to create an answer from these hints, let me know and I can try to keep guiding you.
Group By
As you mentioned, SQL offers a GROUP BY function that can help you.
A SQL Query utilizing GROUP BY would look like the following.
SELECT list, fields, aggregate(value)
FROM tablename
--WHERE goes here, if you need to restrict your result set
GROUP BY list, fields
a GROUP BY query can only return fields listed in the group by statement, or aggregate functions acting on each group.
Aggregate Functions
Your homework question also needs an Aggregate function called Count. This is used to count the results returned. A simple query like the following returns the count of all records returned.
SELECT Count(*)
FROM tablename
The two can be combined, allowing you to get the Count of each group in the following way.
SELECT list, fields, count(*)
FROM tablename
GROUP BY list, fields
Column Aliases
Another answer also tried to introduce you to SQL column aliases, but they did not use SQLPLUS syntax.
SELECT Count(*) as count
...
SQLPLUS column alias syntax is shown below.
SELECT Count(*) "count"
...
I'm not going to provide you the SQL, but instead a way to think about it.
What you want to do is select where the company matches and count the total rows returned. That count is the number of films made by the specified company.
Hope that points you in the right direction.
Select company, count(*) AS count
from Movie
group by company
select * group by company won't work in Oracle.
I create a table in HIVE.
It has the following columns:
id bigint, rank bigint, date string
I want to get avg(rank) per month. I can use this command. It works.
select a.lens_id, avg(a.rank)
from tableA a
group by a.lens_id, year(a.date_saved), month(a.date_saved);
However, I also want to get date information. I use this command:
select a.lens_id, avg(a.rank), a.date_saved
from lensrank_archive a
group by a.lens_id, year(a.date_saved), month(a.date_saved);
It complains: Expression Not In Group By Key
The full error message should be in the format Expression Not In Group By Key [value].
The [value] will tell you what expression needs to be in the Group By.
Just looking at the two queries, I'd say that you need to add a.date_saved explicitly to the Group By.
A walk around is to put the additional field in a collect_set and return the first element of the set. For example
select a.lens_id, avg(a.rank), collect_set(a.date_saved)[0]
from lensrank_archive a
group by a.lens_id, year(a.date_saved), month(a.date_saved);
This is because there is more than one ‘date_saved’ record under your group by. You can turn these ‘date_saved’ records into arrays and output them.
