SQL Hierarchical SQL & CUBE Clause

The document provides examples of using the GROUP BY CUBE and GROUPING SETS clauses in SQL to perform aggregations across multiple dimensions or groupings of data. The GROUP BY CUBE clause returns aggregated results across all combinations of specified columns, while the GROUPING SETS clause allows specifying precise groupings to aggregate across. An example query using GROUP BY CUBE returns employee count and average salary aggregated by department and job, while an example using GROUPING SETS aggregates sales amounts by channel, date, and country in three specified groupings.

Using the GROUP BY CUBE Clause: Example


To return the number of employees and their average yearly salary across all possible
combinations of department and job category, issue the following query on the sample
tables hr.employees and hr.departments:
SELECT DECODE(GROUPING(department_name), 1, 'All Departments',
department_name) AS department_name,
DECODE(GROUPING(job_id), 1, 'All Jobs', job_id) AS job_id,
COUNT(*) "Total Empl", AVG(salary) * 12 "Average Sal"
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE d.department_id = e.department_id
GROUP BY CUBE (department_name, job_id);

DEPARTMENT_NAME JOB_ID Total Empl Average Sal


------------------------------ ---------- ---------- -----------
Accounting AC_ACCOUNT 1 99600
Accounting AC_MGR 1 144000
Accounting All Jobs 2 121800
Administration AD_ASST 1 52800
. . .
All Departments ST_MAN 5 87360
All Departments All Jobs 107 77798.1308

Using the GROUPING SETS Clause: Example


The following example finds the sum of sales aggregated for three precisely specified
groups:
• (channel_desc, calendar_month_desc, country_id)
• (channel_desc, country_id)
• (calendar_month_desc, country_id)

Without the GROUPING SETS syntax, you would have to write less efficient queries with
more complicated SQL. For example, you could run three separate queries
and UNION them, or run a query with aCUBE(channel_desc, calendar_month_desc,
country_id) operation and filter out five of the eight groups it would generate.
SELECT channel_desc, calendar_month_desc, co.country_id,
TO_CHAR(sum(amount_sold) , '9,999,999,999') SALES$
FROM sales, customers, times, channels, countries co
WHERE sales.time_id=times.time_id
AND sales.cust_id=customers.cust_id
AND sales.channel_id= channels.channel_id
AND customers.country_id = co.country_id
AND channels.channel_desc IN ('Direct Sales', 'Internet')
AND times.calendar_month_desc IN ('2000-09', '2000-10')
AND co.country_id IN ('UK', 'US')
GROUP BY GROUPING SETS(
(channel_desc, calendar_month_desc, co.country_id),
(channel_desc, co.country_id),
( calendar_month_desc, co.country_id) );
