Getting ORA-01427 error and ORA-00907 error in subquery


I got this in a query which works normally:

decode(substr(X_AV_ID,1,3)  
,'ECU','eCom'  
, decode(aven.lib, 'eCom', 'eCom','Autre')) flag,  

Then I want to add a new parameter (aven.lib Like '%Extra%' and to decode it as 'extra').

So I create a subquery with a case to do it:

decode(substr(X_AV_ID,1,3),  
                    'ECU', 'eCom',   
                    (select Case    
                        When aven.lib = 'eCom' Then 'eCom'  
                        When aven.lib Like '%Extra%' Then 'extra'  
                        Else 'Autre'  
                        End  
                     From table_x aven  
                     Limit 1     
                    )  
            ) flag  

I limit the result to 1 to evit the ORA-01427 error, but now I got the ORA-00907 error.

I wanted to use the like in the decode command but it is not available.

Thanks for helping.


Solution

  • Using the regexp_like in the case works great, and I get the result excepted.

                Case  
    
                                When substr(X_AV_ID,1,3) = 'ECU'  Then 'eCom'
    
                                When aven.lib= 'eCom' Then 'eCom'
    
                                When  REGEXP_LIKE (aven.X_AV_LIBELLE, 'extra', 'i') Then 'extra'
    
                                Else 'Autre'
    
                                End
