I'm new to Microsoft SQL Server 2014. I run this SQL code:
SELECT TOP(10) 'DBSG' as seek_entity, *
FROM DBSG..PM00200
and get this result:
Next, I want to find out total line items for that entity with code below.
WITH vw_pm00200_all AS
(
SELECT TOP(10)
'DBSG' as seek_entity, *
FROM
DBSG..PM00200
)
SELECT
seek_entity,
COUNT(*) AS total
FROM
vw_pm00200_all
GROUP BY
1
Sadly, I get this error. I have no idea why it failed.
Msg 164, Level 15, State 1, Line 9
Each GROUP BY expression must contain at least one column that is not an outer reference.
Lastly, please advise is Microsoft SQL Server based on Transact-SQL ?

It looks like you are running into this problem here: Each GROUP BY expression must contain at least one column that is not an outer reference
As the answer points out, grouping by a constant literal is pointless as it is the same for all results. Count() will return the same result as Count() with a GROUP BY.
If this is just test code and you plan on using a CASE statement (with different values) in place of the string literal, you may have better luck.
Yes, T-SQL is Microsoft SQL Server's flavor of SQL.
