53003 Error 2092 -149L "Function or column reference to '%1' must also appear in a GROUP BY" You used a non-aggregate function or column reference in the select list or in a nested query block that does not appear in the GROUP BY clause. In a query using GROUP BY, select list items that are not aggregate functions must also appear in the GROUP BY clause. If the select list item is a column reference or an alias, you may add the column name or alias to the GROUP BY clause. If the select list item is a scalar function, ensure that the function's arguments in the GROUP BY clause match exactly with those in the select list. In some cases, you may want to use the MAX function on the column name (or another aggregate function) instead of adding the column to the GROUP BY clause.

53005 Error 2095 -152L "Invalid ORDER BY specification" Either you used an integer in an ORDER BY list and the integer is larger than the number of columns in the select list, or you specified an ORDER BY expression that is semantically invalid.
