HTH, -----Original Message----- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 4:10 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Friends, I am having a sql statement where select field1,field2.. field15, sum(fieldx1), sum(fieldx2).. sum(fieldx200) from t1 group by field1,field2.. field15; when i execute this statement , i am getting error - 1467 which says sort key too long Cause Mentioned in the document : A DISTINCT, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, or SET operation requires a sort key longer than that supported by Oracle. Either too many columns or too many group functions were specified in the SELECT statement. Action: Reduce the number of columns or group functions involved in the operation. My question is whether any restrictions on no of columns that can be grouped is there or is it depend on any space constraint on temporary tablespace..
