数据库版本升级都会强烈建议功能和性能测试，但有时还是不具备这样的条件或未测试全面， 对于版本上线后的问题再见招拆招。最近遇到了一个11.2.0.3 升级 12.2 后有个存储过程无法执行，提示“ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression” 错误，显然是个SQL语法的问题。那很可能是哪个优化器新特性在查询转换过程中出现问题，下面还原这个问题, 和介绍一种简单粗暴的方法。

构建表结构，还原错误

create table anbob.test_t1(minbillcycle  varchar2(10));
insert into anbob.test_t1 select to_char(sysdate,'yyyymm') from dual;
create table anbob.test_t2 as select * from anbob.test_t1 where 1=0;

SQL> declare
      cycle#  number :=201911;
      aa number;
      begin
       SELECT 1 into aa
         FROM(
               select  months_between(to_date(CYCLE#,'yyyymm'),to_date(minbillcycle,'yyyymm')) DEBTTIME,count(distinct minbillcycle) DEBTSUBS
                 FROM   anbob.test_t1
                 GROUP BY months_between(to_date(CYCLE#,'yyyymm'),to_date(minbillcycle,'yyyymm'))
                union all
                SELECT 0 DEBTTIME,   0 DEBTSUBS 
                  FROM anbob.test_t2  )
      COMMIT;
      end;
  /
declare

ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
ORA-06512: at line 5

Note:
特殊的地方这是一个变量聚合汇总子查询。

对上面的SQL，我们可以启用10053 event trace 分析查询转换后的SQL, 有一种测试方法就是session 级修改optimizer_features_enable的版本， 其实经过测试发现降到10.2.0.5时，这个PL/SQL 就不在报错，判断应该是11G时引入的一个新特性(聚合参数转换)，很可能在原来的11G库时是禁用了某个优化器参数，而12c中没有禁用。

SQL> alter session set optimizer_features_enable='10.2.0.5';
Session altered.

SQL> declare
  2      cycle#  number :=201911;
  3      aa number;
  4      begin
  5       SELECT  1 into aa
  6         FROM(
  7               select  months_between(to_date(CYCLE#,'yyyymm'),to_date(minbillcycle,'yyyymm')) DEBTTIME,count(distinct minbillcycle) DEBTSUBS
  8                 FROM   system.test_t1
  9                 GROUP BY months_between(to_date(CYCLE#,'yyyymm'),to_date(minbillcycle,'yyyymm'))
 10                union all
 11                SELECT 0 DEBTTIME,   0 DEBTSUBS 
 12                  FROM system.test_t2  )
 13      COMMIT;
 14      end;
 15  /

方法2
修改optimizer_features_enable参数的影响范围太大， 那缩小到最小的优化器特性是一种不错的选择，优化器相关的那么多参数，我们人工尝试太耗费时间， 下面就写一个PLSQL 遍历所有的SESSION 级优化器参数，改变现在的值，暴力找出修改某参数可以解决当前的问题。

（基于x$qksceses、x$ksppi、x$ksppcv、x$kspvld_values、v$session_fix_control）

end;
/

生成如下SQL:

PRO 1) " "_adaptive_window_consolidator_enabled" = FALSE;
ALTER SESSION SET "_adaptive_window_consolidator_enabled" = FALSE;
@script
PRO 2) " "_add_stale_mv_to_dependency_list" = FALSE;
ALTER SESSION SET "_add_stale_mv_to_dependency_list" = FALSE;
@script
PRO 3) " "_allow_level_without_connect_by" = TRUE;
ALTER SESSION SET "_allow_level_without_connect_by" = TRUE;
@script
PRO 4) " "_always_anti_join" = 'CHOOSE';
ALTER SESSION SET "_always_anti_join" = 'CHOOSE';
@script
PRO 5) " "_always_anti_join" = 'CUBE';
ALTER SESSION SET "_always_anti_join" = 'CUBE';
@script
...
...
...

2， 把原PL/SQL 或测试的用户SQL 存放在当前目录的script.sql中

3， 运行sql_test.sql

如果运行成功可以编辑sql_test.sql 把某参数删掉，继续尝试， 最终我们发现修改以下三个参数任何一个都可以正常运行：

set “_optimizer_distinct_agg_transform”=false
set “_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled”=false
“_fix_control” = ‘11657903:1’

上面的两个隐藏参数还是有一些BUG的，但12.2中没有完全相似的， 在11g是就是问题特性， 我的建议是系统级禁用上面的两个参数，如

alter system set "_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled" = false SCOPE=SPFILE;

方法3，
SQL级禁用该参数。

SQL> declare
  2      cycle#  number :=201911;
  3      aa number;
  4      begin
  5       SELECT /*+opt_param('_optimizer_distinct_agg_transform','false')*/1 into aa
  6         FROM(
  7               select  months_between(to_date(CYCLE#,'yyyymm'),to_date(minbillcycle,'yyyymm')) DEBTTIME,count(distinct minbillcycle) DEBTSUBS
  8                 FROM   system.test_t1
  9                 GROUP BY months_between(to_date(CYCLE#,'yyyymm'),to_date(minbillcycle,'yyyymm'))
 10                union all
 11                SELECT 0 DEBTTIME,   0 DEBTSUBS 
 12                  FROM system.test_t2  )
 13      COMMIT;
 14      end;
 15  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Summary:
这里尝试了一种方法，当排查某个优化器参数时改变SQL的执行，遍历所有SESSION级优化器参数修改为有效的参数值，运行业务SQL, 同时还可以禁用或启用一些补丁修复的fix编号， 同样的方法还可以应用于SQL执行性能的测试。
