Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: ORA-24347 (null column in aggregate function) - SQL*Plus
Looks like you have user with no objects. Try count(*) instead of count(object_name);

I'm a little stumped. I'm using SQL*Plus 8.1.6.0.0 client to connect to an
Oracle 8.0.5 database on a Windows NT server. I want to get the count of
objects for each user, with a 0 count for users without any objects. But
when i run the query, errors message ORA-24347 is returned. Why would that
be?
When I run the query directly on the server, using a SQL*Plus 8.0.5 client,
the query returns the expected data with no errors. Is there a bug in
Metalink for this? I didn't find anything, but maybe my searching skills
need some honing. Should I stick with older versions of the SQL*Plus client?
Results with 8.1.6 client to 8.0.5 database: SQL> select count (*) from dba_users where username is null ;
COUNT(*)
0
SQL> select count (*) from dba_objects where owner is null ;
COUNT(*)
0
SQL> select count (*) from dba_objects where object_name is null ;
COUNT(*)
0
SQL> select a.username, count (object_name)
2 from dba_users a, dba_objects b
3 where a.username = b.owner (+)
4 group by a.username ;
ERROR:
ORA-24347: Warning of a NULL column in an aggregate function
