正确答案：C
在Oracle 8i中引入GROUPING(<列引用>)函数，被用来做为GROUPING()函数参数的表达式必须与出现在GROUP BY 子句中的表达式相匹配。包含了CUBE、ROLLUP或GROUPING SET关键字的组查询时，该函数对<列引用>相关列的聚合结果中的NULL值进行检查。例如通过写出decode(grouping(id),1,’ALLID’,id) id来检测id是否有一行由CUBE产生的空值，或着是否其在数据库中本身就是空值。如果这些NULL值是由本次CUBE查询生成的，那么返回1，否则返回0。
官方解释：GROUPING distinguishes superaggregate rows fromregular grouped rows. GROUP BY extensions such as ROLLUP and CUBE produce superaggregate rows where the set of all values is represented bynull. Using the GROUPING function,you can distinguish a null representing the set of all values in asuperaggregate row from a null in a regular row.
The expr in the GROUPING function must matchone of the expressions in the GROUP BY clause. The functionreturns a value of 1 if the value ofexpr in the row is a nullrepresenting the set of all values. Otherwise, it returns zero. The datatype ofthe value returned by the GROUPING function is Oracle NUMBER. Please refer to theSELECTgroup_by_clause for a discussion of theseterms.
In the following example, which uses the sample tables hr.departments andhr.employees, if the GROUPING function returns 1 (indicating asuperaggregate row rather than a regular row from the table), then the string"All Jobs" appears in the "JOB" column instead of the nullthat would otherwise appear:
