|Error: ORA 937 |
| |
| |
|Text: not a single-group group function |
| |
| |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| |
|Cause: A SELECT list cannot include both a group function, such as AVG, COUNT,|
| |
| |
| MAX, MIN, SUM, STDDEV, or VARIANCE, and an individual column |
| |
| |
| expression, unless the individual column expression is included in a |
| |
| |
| GROUP BY clause. |
| |
| |
|Action: Drop either the group function or the individual column expression |
| |
| |
| from the SELECT list or add a GROUP BY clause that includes all |
| |
| |
| individual column expressions listed. |
| |
| |
|. |
