SQL multiple SELECT query with xmlagg function- Data not pulled in the required fashion

问题

My data in Oracle is something like this

NAME | DEP_VALUE | ID_DEP

Amy     1         AA1234
Bob     2         BB4321
Clara   1         CC5678
Clara   2         CC7890
John    1         JJ6543
John    2         JJ7865
John    3         JJ7654
Tom     1         TT0987
Tom     2         TT6541
Tom     3         TT4087
Tom     4         TT3409

I need the data to be pulled in this fashion

NAME  | DEP_VALUE |  ID_DEP

Amy     1         AA1234
Bob     2         BB4321
Clara   1;2       CC5678;CC7890
John    1;2;3     JJ6543;JJ7865;JJ7654
Tom     1;2;3;4   TT0987;TT6541;TT4087;TT3409

My query is as follows

SELECT name,
   Rtrim(Xmlagg (Xmlelement (e, dep_value
                                || ';')).extract  ( '//text()' ), ','),
   Rtrim(Xmlagg (Xmlelement (e, id_dep
                                || ';')).extract  ( '//text()' ), ',')
FROM   (SELECT emp_name,
           dep.dep_value,
           dep.id_dep
    FROM   emp
           inner join dep
                   ON emp.name = dep.name
    WHERE  id_name IN (SELECT name
                       FROM   altname
                       WHERE  id_emp IN (SELECT id_emp
                                         FROM   cnames
                                         WHERE  emp_lvl LIKE '%GGG%')))
    GROUP  BY name,
      dep_value

The result that is displayed is

NAME  | DEP_VALUE |  ID_DEP

Amy     1;         AA1234;
Bob     2;         BB4321;
Clara   1;         CC5678;
Clara   2;         CC7890;
John    1;         JJ6543;
John    2;         JJ7865;
John    3;         JJ7654;
Tom     1;         TT0987;
Tom     2;         TT6541;
Tom     3;         TT4087;
Tom     4;         TT3409;

How can I pull the data as in the 2nd table? What is the error in my sql query?

It sounds like you want to GROUP BY name rather than GROUP BY name, dep_value

SELECT name,
   Rtrim(Xmlagg (Xmlelement (e, dep_value
                                || ';')).extract  ( '//text()' ), ';'),
   Rtrim(Xmlagg (Xmlelement (e, id_dep
                                || ';')).extract  ( '//text()' ), ';')
FROM   (SELECT emp_name,
           dep.dep_value,
           dep.id_dep
    FROM   emp
           inner join dep
                   ON emp.name = dep.name
    WHERE  id_name IN (SELECT name
                       FROM   altname
                       WHERE  id_emp IN (SELECT id_emp
                                         FROM   cnames
                                         WHERE  emp_lvl LIKE '%GGG%')))
    GROUP  BY name

Just to provide further explanation on xmlagg, and add another option with Oracle 11g.

http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_display_multiple_column_values_same_rows.htm

select
  deptno,
  listagg (ename, ',') 
WITHIN GROUP 
(ORDER BY ename) enames
FROM 
  emp
GROUP BY 
   deptno
/

Output:

DEPTNO ENAMES                                            
---------- --------------------------------------------------
    10 CLARK,KING,MILLER                                 
    20 ADAMS,FORD,JONES,SCOTT,SMITH                
    30 ALLEN,BLAKE,JAMES,MARTIN,TURNER,WARD

Try like this more simple

select NAME,replace(wm_concat(DEP_VALUE),',',';') as DEP_VALUE, replace(wm_concat(ID_DEP),',',';') as ID_DEP from yourtable 
where dep_value<2000 group by NAME

note: you need to limit your dep_value length and you can make your assumption, because you cannot get your string result to long, hope this is help your job
