I have: Code:
sql = "SELECT DISTINCT LName FROM myTable ORDER BY userID"
But this produces an error saying you cannot use DISTINCT and ORDER BY in the same statement. What is the best way I can achieve a sorted list of unique values?
I want to use a distinct and a top in a select statement, however I
want the distinct to only apply to one of the columns. For example
SELECT DISTINCT TOP 15 col1,col2,col3,col4 from table1
I only want the distinct to apply to say col2. Is there a way to do
this?
i have a DB with table named Products. pCategory lists several names of teams of varing leagues (NBA, NFL, MLB, etc...) I want a table to display only the NBA teams. I have a field named pGroup which has NBA, MLB, etc... for each team. How can I display all fields where pGroup="NBA." I thought the code would work below, but it didn't.
<%sql_getProducts = "SELECT DISTINCT pCategory WHERE pGroup="NBA" FROM products"
Some values in my array are repeating. Is there a way to select distinct values from the script like you can in sql?
View Replies View RelatedI have two table which are related:
table1 holds personellinformation
table2 holds nodeInformation
The nodes in table2 can have a nodeOwner which will then get a recordID from
table1. A person can own multiple nodes.
Now I want to display all nodeowners, but not the duplicates (if they own
multiple nodes).
What would be the SQL syntax for that, using ASP with VB?
I've tried using DISTINCT, but I do also need the NodeID which is always
unique so I still get all duplicates.
I m trying to use select statement in order to select a distinct word like 'c', but in the database i only want to select c when it occurs on its own not when it appears in another word.
eg i need to select the alphabet 'c' in 'the cat category is c' but not the 'c' in 'cat' or 'category'. I have used the code below but this seem to count all 'c'
select set rsTypes2 = con.execute("SELECT COUNT(two) AS total FROM march where two like '%c%'")
please bare with me here:
<%
dim VAR(2)
VAR(1)="nba"
VAR(2)="mlb"
sql_getVAR = "SELECT DISTINCT pcity FROM VAR"
Set getVAR = Conn.Execute(sql_getVAR) %>
I want several table according to the sport (nba,mlb, nfl etc...) I thought if i put the above code on an asp page (page02.asp) and then specified VAR on page01.asp with the link for NBA being /teams_02.asp?VAR=1 it would display the fields from the "nba" table.
Of course it did not saying the error was that VAR was not defined. Can someone tell me what I am doin wrong or if you understand it, explain a better way to me.
I need to generate three random numbers between 1 and 100, but they need to be different.
e.g. 3,43,88 would be fine but 5,76,76 would not.
The function I have to generate a single random number is:
function funRandomNumber(intHighestNumber)
randomize
funRandomNumber = int(rnd * intHighestNumber) + 1
end function
called by: funRandomNumber(100)
Can anyone see how this can be modified to do what I need?
I have a Drop Down box that is being populated using the SQL Distinct
command. How do I get it so it doesn't show Null values?
Here is my SQL statement
sSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT Title FROM Everyone ORDER BY Title ASC"
this is my query
SELECT distinct(prof.id_num),prof.name,education.educ_lev el,education.school,education.degree,agency_info.c ampus
FROM prof inner join education on prof.id_num=education.id_num inner join agency_info on education.id_num=agency_info.id_num where education.educ_level<>'course' and agency_info.campus='colle'
ORDER BY education.school
course="tertiary"
still it shows duplicate records. it displays secondary,primary record of the employee
When I just - SELECT DISTINCT atblProducts.ID AS ProductID, it selects distinct Product IDs but when I add other columns to the select, it doesn't select the ProductID as DISTINCT.
I've heard to try "GROUP BY..." Code:
I am trying to draw out from the database a distinct artists in relation to a variable which is 'cat'.
strsql = "SELECT distinct art_Artist, cat_ID, art_Category, art_Title, art_BDescription, art_Price, art_PicFull " &_
"FROM eventDisplay WHERE art_Artist='" & cat & "' "&_
"ORDER BY art_Artist"
Whats happening is that at this moment cat = Lee Jones, and he is in the databse three times with exactly the same info except for one subject which doesnt matter in this case, therefore we only need to see his name once being pulled.
Im sure this code has worked before but it doesnt seem to be workign here, i thought maybe its because his name is entered into the database with a gap inbetween his first name and last, but im probably wrong...
I have information in a database with the following structure:
3 Divisions - each division has several districts. Each district has several regions and each region has several areas.
I have a recordset of every area with the region, district and division they belong to.
I have 4 drop down menus on my page - area region, district and division.
How can I filter my recordset before each dropdown, so it only has DISTINCT records
Here is the code that just won't work
Set rsPlayers = cnnDB.Execute("SELECT DISTINCT Players.PlrEmail FROM Players INNER JOIN Sessions ON Players.PlrID = Sessions.SsnPlrID WHERE Sessions.SsnGmID = 14 AND Players.PlrEMail <> 'Unknown' ")
If I use SELECT * From Players I get duplicates. I only want unique emails for the query.
How can I make this inner statement distinct? I've got the coding as follows but it displays every record anyway. Any way around this?Code:

rschancheats.Open sql, conn, 3, 3
I am building a real estate listingwhere the vistor choses a city or cities and the results display the counties they are in. The problem I have encountered is that
I am trying to make search results from a query that displays the county only once even if the visitor has chosen many cities within the same county.
I problem is that when the county field is set to be distinct, the recordset pulls out only the first record of that group. Therefore, when a search is performed on that query it will not find a potenial county even if the city belongs to that county.
I'm trying to get this SQL statement to work:
SQL = "SELECT distinct(catagory) FROM PicAlbum ORDER BY dateadded"

Is it possible to do a ORDER BY using a distinct?
I have a table containing newsletter articles. Each article has a zone which is either a section, division, district or all, and a edition they belong to.
I have the following sql statement in my vbscript to give a list of newsletter edition dates if there are articles relating to the relevant section, division or district:
"SELECT DISTINCT (edition) AS editions, zone FROM t_newsletter WHERE ((zone='"+sec+"') OR (zone='"+dis+"') OR (zone='"+div+"'))"
the trouble is that if there is an article in november for the relevent section and also an article for the relevant district then that date appears twice - how can I stop this, or do I need to go into my database?
How can do double select or do I have to loop though? I would like to go an strSQL = * From main but I only want to have one person from each team in week x, team being a field. I could select distinct teams then loop and simply only Do while once per team however I'd like to put it all together but of course
Select Distinct TEAM Where Week = vweek
can not be done. Any ideas. I saw some thing about being able to have a second statement underneath in [] once but was I dreaming?

i am inner joing two tables customer and program. if i use select distinct i still get duplicate records displayed. how can i display distinct records for a customer by cust_no but still pull fields from program.
my customer and program table are joined by the cust_no field but in the program table the customer may have 10 different programs.

I need help programming a search function. I want to narrow down a search function regarding time. I figure the best way to do this is to select a higher interval and a lower interval, and then have an sql function that grabs the times from within that range.Code:
sql = "SELECT DISTINCT place, time FROM bussystem WHERE time >= '"&timey&"'"
Set rscurrent = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rscurrent.Open sql, conn, 3, 3
sql = "SELECT DISTINCT place, time FROM bussystem WHERE time <= '"&timey&"'"
Set rsrecent = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsrecent.Open sql, conn, 3, 3

I have a table [table] with two fields [type] and [ID]. I am trying to create a table with the number of IDs per distinct type. So, the return table would be {distinct [type]}, {count per {distinct [type]}. I am stumped; I believe this must be two queries?
View Replies View RelatedI have written some code which should dynamically build a table which is then populated with questionas and possible answers. The format of the answers will vary ie they may be in the form of a radio button which will be rated from 1-5, checkbox or a selectbox.

I don't know if this is in the right section. I hope it is.I have an HTML document that uses tables and stuff. I also have a FORM on there with some input boxes, Radio buttons and <select> options.
I have a .asp VB file also that processes the actual form and writes the answered questions to a text file on the server (tab separated)
My problem:
The input boxes and radio buttons work fine. It writes to the text file on the sever end.
My problem is I am not too sure how to go making the answers from the <select> options to also write to the server. They way I have it set up right now, it jsut writes "NULL" on the text file.
I've recently come across using "Select Last" in an sql query. Does anyone have any info or views on using it? Until now I've relied on "Select Max" but Select Last would have distinct advantages when using random autonumbers. I'm also curious about why there is so little info on it - perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places?
