I'm fairly new to SQL and I'm having a tough time with this query. I'm hoping that someone here can help me out. I need to create a report that will show us all the people who were discharged from the hospital, and then re-admitted within 30 days. Here's my query:
SELECT DISTINCT m.member_id,
m.member_first_name, m.member_last_name, ea.event_seq, ea.event_status, ea.authorization_number, ea.authorized_admission_date, ea.actual_discharge_date, ea.benefit_level, ea.facility_id, ea.facility_name, ea.benefit_plan, ea.benefit_product, ea.benefit_group FROM member m, event_admission ea WHERE m.member_id = ea.member_id AND m.member_id NOT LIKE '%TEST%' AND ea.benefit_level = '65' AND ea.benefit_plan = '1020' AND ea.benefit_product = '1053' AND ( ea.actual_discharge_date >= :Start_Date AND ea.authorized_admission_date <= :End_Date ) AND m.member_id IN (SELECT DISTINCT m1.member_id, m1.member_first_name, m1.member_last_name, ea1.event_seq, ea1.event_status, ea1.authorization_number, ea1.authorized_admission_date, ea1.actual_discharge_date, ea1.benefit_level, ea1.facility_id, ea1.facility_name, ea1.benefit_plan, ea1.benefit_product, ea1.benefit_group FROM member m1, event_admission ea1 WHERE m1.member_id = ea1.member_id AND m1.member_id NOT LIKE '%TEST%' AND ea1.benefit_level = '65' AND ea1.benefit_plan = '1020' AND ea1.benefit_product = '1053' AND ea1.actual_discharge_date > ea.actual_discharge_date OR ( ea1.actual_discharge_date IS NULL AND ea1.authorized_admission_date >= :Start_Date ) )
The error I'm getting is:
Select error: ORA-00913: too many values
Here's what the Oracle Web site says about this error:
"ORA-00913: too many values
Cause: The SQL statement requires two sets of values equal in number.
This error occurs when the second set contains more items than the
first set. For example, the subquery in a WHERE or HAVING clause may
return too many columns, or a VALUES or SELECT clause may return more
columns than are listed in the INSERT.
Action: Check the number of items in each set and change the SQL statement to make them equal."
I guess I'm not understanding were it is that my item counts don't match. The only thing that I can think of is that the problem is with the last 3 lines of the nested Select. I've done a lot of fiddling with those lines and still can't get it to work. Can anyone spot the problem, or give me a better way to accomplish the goal?
