      Well I did. I'll do it again, with extra explanation, and I'll write slowly. You have a table EMP that has a column SAL that you want the product from instead of the sum. Then the query can look like this:

      SELECT EXP(SUM(LN(SAL)))
      FROM EMP

      This query has the drawback that the LN() function will throw an exception for negative numbers and zero. Tip: CASE WHEN and SIGN() will be useful. This can be mathematically written like: A*B = eln(A)+ln(B)

      It is generating an Error while executing this Query. Error Message is : Undefined Function 'LN' in Expression.

      If you can think then I Can.

        If you don't want to use any of the built in Oracle commands, then you could achieve this by using a cursor to iterate over the user's salary and keep a running total that way.

          ln() is supported on Oracle since version 8i. If you're using an older version than that, you're having bigger problems than the missing ln() function. But if you by any chance aren't using Oracle despite your numerous references to PL/SQL, then both SqlServer and MSAccess uses log() instead of ln().

                It returns the wrong answer in some cases change the values and then try. the difference of values are in some points.

                If you can think then I Can.
