Hi,
I have a query that I need to run on both a SQL 2008 DB and also a SQL 2000 DB.
When I run the query on the 2008 DB, no errors are returned, however in SQL 2000 I get an error. The tables in each database are similar but not exactly the same, however they both have the fields that are being selected in the query and I can't understand why one DB is giving this error whilst for the other DB the query works perfectly.
The query is below:
use database
select distinct
servername,
firstoccurrence,
lastoccurrence,
eventid,
key,
group,
node,
summary
sum(tally) as NumberofEvents,
--sum(count(*)) over(partition by dateadd(dd,datediff(dd,0,lastoccurrence),0)) as daytotal
sum(count(*)) over(partition by servername, dateadd(dd,datediff(dd,0,lastoccurrence),0)) as daytotalbyserver
from databasetable
where firstoccurrence >= '2013-02-04' and firstoccurrence < '2013-02-08'
and lastoccurrence >= '2013-02-04' and lastoccurrence < '2013-02-08'
group by
firstoccurrence,
lastoccurrence,
servername,
eventid,
alertkey,
alertgroup,
node,
summary
and the error that I get is below:Server: Msg 130, Level 15, state 1, Line 14. Cannot
perform an aggregate function on an expression containing an aggregate or sub query What is the issue? its really bugging me. Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks

The Error tells you: you cannot aggregate and aggregate. For example:
DECLARE @Foo TABLE (ID INT, Val INT)
INSERT @Foo
VALUES
(1, 11),
(2, 12),
(3, 13),
(4, 14),
(5, 15),
(1, 16),
(2, 17),
(3, 18),
(4, 19),
(5, 20)
SELECT ID, SUM(COUNT(*))
FROM @Foo
GROUP BY ID |

you need to find the count(*) first in subquery and then apply sum over it.
ie like
use database
select *,
sum(cnt) over(partition by dateadd(dd,datediff(dd,0,lastoccurrence),0)) as daytotal,
sum(cnt) over(partition by servername, dateadd(dd,datediff(dd,0,lastoccurrence),0)) as daytotalbyserver
from
(
select distinct
servername,
firstoccurrence,
lastoccurrence,
eventid,
key,
group,
node,
summary
sum(tally) as NumberofEvents,
count(*) as cnt
from databasetable
where firstoccurrence >= '2013-02-04' and firstoccurrence < '2013-02-08'
and lastoccurrence >= '2013-02-04' and lastoccurrence < '2013-02-08'
group by
firstoccurrence,
lastoccurrence,
servername,
eventid,
alertkey,
alertgroup,
node,
summary
)t

I don't understand this....
thanks |

My original query didn't work in the 2000 DB but did in the 2008 instance.
Also, the code that visakh16 kindly posted works in 2008 but not in 2000. As in 2000 I get the following error:
server: msg 156, level 15, state 1, line 4
incorrect syntax near the keyword 'over'
What is going on here?? dont get it and its annoying!! |

The new OVER clause with SUM will work from 2008 onwards
