LISTAGG [message #573881]

I'm trying to use the LISTAGG function, but I keep getting an ORA-00937 error (not a single-group group function). I'm concatenating several columns into one, and that is what I want to LISTAGG on. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? See below.

select distinct COLUMN1, LISTAGG(upper('LABEL: ' || COLUMN2 || '-' || COLUMN3 || '.' || COLUMN4),';')
WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY COLUMN2) as COLUMN_NAME
from DUMMY
inner join DUMMY2 on COLUMN1=COLUMN2

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

amazing that the query morphed between the two postings!

SELECT DISTINCT r.id                                                 USER_ID, 
                r.first_last                                         USER_NAME, 
                r.ROLE                                               ROLE, 
                Listagg(Upper('PDD: ' 
                              || p.role_id 
                              || '-' 
                              || p.parameter 
                              || '.' 
                              || p.value), ';') 
                  within GROUP (ORDER BY r.id, r.first_last, r.ROLE) AS 
                p_responsibility 
FROM   it_users r 
       inner join app_user_security_map p 
               ON r.id = p.user_id

I am curious as which tool was used to produce the most recent results?

I'm using SQL Navigator. It's still giving me the ORA-00937 error.

This is the revised code. Adding the "GROUP BY" as BlackSwan suggested did fix the ORA-00937 error. I'm now getting a ORA-01489 error. However, I think I will try to just LISTAGG on the value and see how that goes.

SELECT DISTINCT r.id USER_ID,
r.first_last USER_NAME,
r.ROLE ROLE,
Listagg(Upper('PDD: '
|| p.role_id
|| '-'
|| p.parameter
|| '.'
|| p.value), ';')
within GROUP (ORDER BY r.id, r.first_last, r.ROLE) AS
p_responsibility
FROM itr_users r
inner join app_user_security_map p
ON r.id = p.user_id GROUP BY r.id, r.first_last, r.ROLE

Thanks

Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code, use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
Also always post your Oracle version, with 4 decimals.

Use SQL*Plus and copy and paste your session, the WHOLE session.
We have not your table and so can't see what you see.

With any SQL or PL/SQL question, please, Post a working Test case: create table and insert statements along with the result you want with these data then we will be able work with your table and data. Explain with words and sentences the rules that lead to this result.

ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long
 *Cause: String concatenation result is more than the maximum size.
 *Action: Make sure that the result is less than the maximum size.

ALWAYS post the complete error message we have NOT in mind all the 99999 error messages Oracle can send.

Regards
Michel

This gave me desired results.

SELECT DISTINCT r.id                                                 USER_ID, 
                r.first_last                                         USER_NAME, 
                r.ROLE                                               ROLE, 
                Upper('PDD: ' || p.role_id || '-' || p.parameter || '.' || LISTAGG(p.value,',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY p.value)) 
                  AS p_responsibility 
FROM   itr_users r 
       inner join app_user_security_map p 
               ON r.id = p.user_id GROUP BY r.id, r.first_last, r.ROLE, p.role_id, p.parameter

Thank each of you for your help.
