ORA-01427 single-row subquery return more than one row
The error message itself is self explanatory.

I've always been mistified why you can't use a column alias in the group by clause (i.e. you have to re-iterate the entire expression in the group by clause after having already done it once in the select statement). I'm mostly a SQL hobbiest, so it's possible that I am not doing this in the most efficient manner. Anyone care to comment on this with relation to the following example (is there a way to acheive this without re-stating the...

Hi guys, I have a doubt regarding the CASE statement. It might sound silly, but me being new to DB2, it is kind of a genuine doubt. Try helping me with this.. When we use a case statement (simple-case-statement-when-clause), in this - the value of the expression prior to the first WHEN keyword is tested for equality with the value of each expression that follows the WHEN keyword. Right? Then if the search condition is true, the THEN...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
