Oracle PL/SQL More Aggregation – Rank

Oracle PL/SQL Aggregation  – Rank

Oracle PL/SQL Subtotal Operators

Oracle PL/SQL Subtotal Operators

There are times when we need not just the total value for the column, but subtotal values depending on different column values.  Oracle supports subtotal operators through the three key operators they are CUBE, ROLLUP, and GROUPING SETS. Below are examples of each one and how best to use them.

Testing for Unconnected Components in a Graph

Testing for Unconnected Components in an Undirected Graph

With a graph structure it is possible that parts of the graph will not be connected to each other.  An example of this would be with social networks, not all users are friends with other users.

The code will find the total number of connected components of the graph, or graph parts in an undirected graph.

See code below.
