Oracle: how to get percent of total by a query?

Question

I have the following query and its result is very unexpected to me:

select stato, (count(1) *100) / sum(1)
from LOG_BONIFICA
group by stato;

it returns 100 for all rows. Should it be different ?

Answer 1

count(1) is equal to sum(1) in your case.

Try something like this:

Wrote file S:\\tools\buffer.sql

  1  select owner,
  2         count(*) group_cnt,
  3         sum(count(*)) over() total_cnt,
  4         round(100*(count(*) / sum(count(*)) over ()),2) perc
  5    from dba_objects
  6   group by owner
  7*  order by 4 desc
