Exhibit: 

Which two SQL statements would executes successfully? (Choose two.)
 
 
A. SELECT MAX(inv_date),MIN(cust_id) FROM invoice; 
B. SELECT MAX(AVG(SYSDATE - inv_date)) FROM invoice; 
C. SELECT AVG(inv_date) FROM invoice; 
D. SELECT AVG(inv_date - SYSDATE),AVG(inv_amt) FROM invoice; 

A D 没错，对所有数据聚合。date不能取平均值，但inv_date - sysdate的结果是number，所以可以用avg

TEST > SELECT MAX(inv_date),MIN(cust_id) FROM invoice;
MAX(INV_DATE) MIN(CUST_ID)

TEST > SELECT AVG(inv_date - SYSDATE),AVG(inv_amt) FROM invoice;
AVG(INV_DATE-SYSDATE) AVG(INV_AMT)
--------------------- ------------

B 同一级别，聚合函数不参嵌套

TEST > SELECT MAX(AVG(SYSDATE - inv_date)) FROM invoice;
SELECT MAX(AVG(SYSDATE - inv_date)) FROM invoice
ORA-00978: nested group function without GROUP BY

TEST > SELECT MAX(AVG(SYSDATE - inv_date)) FROM invoice group by cust_id;
MAX(AVG(SYSDATE-INV_DATE))

C date不能取平均值，只有数字可以取平均值

TEST > SELECT AVG(inv_date) FROM invoice;
SELECT AVG(inv_date) FROM invoice
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got DATE
