|-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------> | | | |-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------> >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|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. |
| |
| |
|. |

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
i have a query that returns 2 rows with one column being id and the other being date-time stamp.
i want to select the row with the latest timestamp among those two records.they have difference id values
SELECT ID,LastModDate
FROM Tab
ID LastModDate -- ----------- 2 1/20/2003 2:56:18 AM 1 4/23/2003 10:26:42 PM
I want to modify the above query to return the row with id=1 which has the latest timestamp
I tried this
SELECT ID,MAX(LastModDate)
FROM Tab
getting this error
OERR: ORA 937 not a single-group group function
how do i get this work.
Thanks
