Well I've had my coffee and I still can't get this to work:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM a
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT *=20
FROM b
WHERE a.unit_id =3D b.unit_id
and a.op_year =3D b.op_year
and extract(month from a.op_date) BETWEEN CASE
WHEN b.qtr =3D 1 THEN 1 AND 3
WHEN b.qtr =3D 2 THEN 4 AND 6
WHEN b.qtr =3D 3 THEN7 AND 9
WHEN b.qtr =3D 4 THEN 10 AND 12
END)
I've tried several variations of this (all that I can think of)i.e. quotes and parenthesis in all kinds of places, case to build entire last filter instead of just the '1 and 3' pieces. and it always returns:
ERROR at line 7:
ORA-00905: missing keyword
9.2 on windows
What simple thing am I missing now?
Thank you for the extra eyes!
