User-Defined Aggregate functions in Oracle PIVOT clause

Unable to use user-defined aggregate functions in Oracle PIVOT clause.

I created a user-defined aggregate function called string_agg.

I am able to use it in a simple statement such as...

select id, string_agg(value) from
(
    select 'user1' as id开发者_开发百科, 'BMW' as value,   'CAR'      as type from dual    union
    select 'user1' as id, 'Audi' as value,  'CAR'      as type from dual    union
    select 'user2' as id, 'Honda' as value, 'CAR'      as type from dual    union
    select 'user1' as id, 'Dell' as value,  'COMPUTER' as type from dual    union
    select 'user1' as id, 'Sony' as value,  'COMPUTER' as type from dual    union
    select 'user2' as id, 'HP' as value,    'COMPUTER' as type from dual 
)
group by id, type

Results in:

ID          TYPE            STRING_AGG(VALUE)
user1       CAR             Audi,BMW
user1       COMPUTER        Dell,Sony
user2       CAR             Honda
user2       COMPUTER        HP

However when I try to use the same function in a pivot clause

select * from
( 
    select id, type, string_agg(value) as value from
    (
        select 'user1' as id, 'BMW' as value,   'CAR'      as type from dual    union
        select 'user1' as id, 'Audi' as value,  'CAR'      as type from dual    union
        select 'user2' as id, 'Honda' as value, 'CAR'      as type from dual    union
        select 'user1' as id, 'Dell' as value,  'COMPUTER' as type from dual    union
        select 'user1' as id, 'Sony' as value,  'COMPUTER' as type from dual    union
        select 'user2' as id, 'HP' as value,    'COMPUTER' as type from dual 
    )
    group by id, type
)
PIVOT (string_agg(value) FOR id IN ('user1' user1, 'user2' user2) );

I get the following error...

ORA-56902: expect aggregate function inside pivot operation

Expected result is...

TYPE        USER1       USER2
COMPUTER    Dell,Sony   HP       
CAR         Audi,BMW    Honda

Pivot doesn't have to be over the same aggregate function:

select * from
( 
    select id, type, LISTAGG(value) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY 1) as value from
    (
        select 'user1' as id, 'BMW' as value,   'CAR'      as type from dual    union
        select 'user1' as id, 'Audi' as value,  'CAR'      as type from dual    union
        select 'user2' as id, 'Honda' as value, 'CAR'      as type from dual    union
        select 'user1' as id, 'Dell' as value,  'COMPUTER' as type from dual    union
        select 'user1' as id, 'Sony' as value,  'COMPUTER' as type from dual    union
        select 'user2' as id, 'HP' as value,    'COMPUTER' as type from dual 
    )
    group by id, type
)
PIVOT (max(value) FOR id IN ('user1' user1, 'user2' user2) );

What about trying wmsys.wm_concat instead of your user-defined aggregate?
