Subject Re: [firebird-support] SQL Error Code -104: What is wrong with this rather simply SQL?

Hi,
 
The message doesn’t tell you which expression is not contained in an aggregate function or GROUP BY clause, but is very clear that it is “P.PHONE_ID”
 
Not sure what you trying to achieve, but your SQL is indeed invalid, because there can be multiple PHONE_ID’s per AREA_CODE, PHONE_NO
 
Kind Regards,
Arno Brinkman

SELECT DISTINCT P.AREA_CODE, P.PHONE_NO,

      (SELECT COUNT(*)

        FROM PHONE P2

       WHERE P2.PHONE_ID = P.PHONE_ID) AS CNT

  FROM PHONE P             

WHERE P.AREA_CODE IS NOT NULL

GROUP BY 1, 2         

HAVING (SELECT COUNT(*)

          FROM PHONE P3

         WHERE P3.PHONE_ID = P.PHONE_ID

           AND P3.AREA_CODE IS NOT NULL) > 1

 

Dynamic SQL Error SQL error code = -104 Invalid expression in the select list (not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause)
