I need p.phonenumber in there but then it messes up my DISTINCT ON m.number because I end up with dup m.numbers if I run just the inner select statement during testing.
But then I need the phonenumber in that subquery so that I can do list.phonenumber
ahh!
UPDATE Master
SET master.homephone = list.phonenumber
FROM MASTER m
INNER JOIN
(SELECT DISTINCT p.number, topphone.phonenumber
FROM phones p
INNER JOIN (SELECT top 1 phonenumber from phones) as topphone ON topphone.number = p.number
WHERE p.phonetypeID = 1
AND ISNULL(p.good, 0) <> 0
AND LEN(p.phonenumber) = 10
) AS list ON m.Number = list.Number
WHERE m.homephone IS NULL OR m.homephone = ''
Error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure Skiaa, Line 66
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'top'.
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure Skiaa, Line 88
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'top'.
I want to update m.homephone with the p.phonenumber based in the filtering critiria I have specified but this simple task is turning out to be a pain.
I need to run a SELECT DISTINCT query acrossmultiple fields, but I need to add another field that is NON-DISTINCTto my record set.Here is my query:SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, genderFROM gpresultsWHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis query runs perfect. No problems whatsoever. However, I need toalso include another field called "admitdate" that should be treatedas NON-DISTINCT. How do I add this in to the query?I've tried this but doesn't work:SELECT admitdateFROM (SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, gender from gpresults)WHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis has to be simple but I do not know the syntax to accomplishthis.Thanks
Hello All, I work for a company that packages MSDE and MSSQL 8.0 because our software requires storing client information in a database. The problem is that we've found that if the our users have another DB engine installed (BDE or Paradox usually), our program has trouble using MSDE to access the database and thus making our software inaccessible. It behaves as if this other database engine locks on our database before MSDE can. I'm basically looking for help on either how to uninstall these other db engines or how to get around this problem so that both MSSQL and other db engines can co-exist in one system.
I have a server with sql 2000 and 2005 installed on it. When I try to connect to the msde 2000 database with an app or with managment studio express I get the following error

package A is the main package and calls packages B and C using 2 "Execute Package Task"s. package B is a package constructed from scratch. package C is a package started by file copying the package B .dtsx file in Windows Explorer and then adding/removing/renaming content.
If I run packages B and C separately they work fine.
If I run package A, package B is started and finishes correctly. Then package C is started and stops somewhere in the middle.
I guess this is because some of the component id's within package C are identical to those in package B ( I checked in the dtsx packages using Notepad. ) and somehow SSIS remembers the precedence constraints of package B and stops executing the rest of C. But I am not sure. And I do not know how to solve this without a risk of losing two days of work.
I have to set a Disaster Recovery (DR) server from my production Server( Most probably, i will be using Database Mirroring for my DR Server). Right now, the production is log shipped to another server for reporting every 15 minutes.
So, for setting up Database Mirroring onto my DR Server, i can take Full Backup from production without damaging log Shipping. But, for setting up Database Mirroring, we need to restore most recent Transaction log backup with norecovery ( Correct me if i am wrong).
But, I cannot take log back because the prodcution database is log shipped for Reporting needs. If taken, log chain breaks.
Can anyone please suggest some work around for setting up the DR Server with minimal downtime.
Hi,I basically have two tables with the same structure. One is an archiveof the other (backup). I want to essentially insert the data in to theother.I use:INSERT INTO table ( column, column .... )SELECT * FROM table2Now, table2 has a rule on various columns:@CHARACTER IN ('Y','N')but the column allows nulls, in the design view is says so anyway.When I run this query I get:A column insert or update conflicts with a rule imposed by a previousCREATE RULE statement. The statement was terminated. The conflictoccurred in database 'database', table 'table', column 'column'.The statement has been terminated.Obviously, I've changed the names of everything.The only data in those columns which could possibly conflict with therule is the NULL value. Any ideas why this doesn't work?Thanks.
Using Merge replication, I have a table that is filtered using the HOST_NAME() function. The filter also makes use of a function (as the HOST_NAME() is overriden to return some complex data).
Everything replicates and filters just fine. but when I add a join filter on a different table (the join filter is a simple foreign key join) I get the following error when the snapshot agent is run:
Message: Conflicting locking hints are specified for table "fn_GetIDList". This may be caused by a conflicting hint specified for a view. Command Text: sp_MSsetup_partition_groups Parameters: @publication = test1
fn_GetIDList is the function used in the original filter.
I am working on an app that getting quite a few deadlocks due to delete statements. I have turned on the sql trace flags and pulled the offending delete statements out of the ERRORLOG and trying to mesh those up with the indexes defined on the table, etc. looking to see if there is anything that can be done strictly from the db side (no app code change) to reduce/eliminate these deadlocks. I have ran some tests/played around with RCSI and even disabling lock escalation but neither have improved my results.
What I have done is to search the errorlog file for DELETE FROM Tablename, output those matching lines, then sort of normalize the literal values to # or XYZ, open in Notepad++, removed trailing whitespace + dups and sort to come up with these results for the unique list of offending T-SQL statements (a LOT easier to read in text editor so sending screen cap.
I do an distinct query like this:query = "SELECT DISTINCT name, total = COUNT(*) from products where name LIKE '%" & searchString & "%' GROUP BY name"The query works fine but I need to select one more field called "info" so I just tried this:query = "SELECT DISTINCT name, info, total = COUNT(*) from products where name LIKE '%" & searchString & "%' GROUP BY name"but then I get the error message:"Column 'products.info' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause"I want do group just by "name" and not "info"How can I select this "info" field to?? somebody know??
Have a query that uses TOP 10; but I'm not receiving unique results and haven't been able to figure out using DISTINCT with TOP. Is it possible to use TOP with DISTINCT?
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[CastCompare] @ID int, @TopRecords int, @Type int
AS
DECLARE @SQLSelect nVarchar(1000)
SET @SQLSelect = 'SELECT TOP ' + CAST(@TopRecords AS Varchar(10)) + ' * FROM TblCastList,TblCast where TblCastList.ProductResellerID=TblCast.ResellerID and TblCastList.ProductID=' + CAST(@ID AS Varchar(10)) + ' and TblCastList.Type=' + CAST(@Type AS Varchar(10)) + ' order by TblCast.[name] asc '
Exec sp_executesql @SQLSelect GO
how Can I add distinct command to query ? I tried something but none of them is work.
I want to add distinct TblCastList.[ProductResellerID]

I'm kind of newbie and I like to know if you can solve me a question,
The fact is I'm trying to gather some information and I don't know how. What I want to do is retrieve the values of five columns, the first one is the primary key, but the others must be unique (all together)
This is probably easy but I can't work it out. I have this statementSELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.NameFROM dbo.CIF_Departures INNER JOINdbo.CIF_PlaceReference ON dbo.CIF_Departures.EndPoint= dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.PlaceIDORDER BY dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.NameThis results in a column of placenames which is OK. There are also multiple'time of day' values against each placename however I only want to returnthe one nearest to the current time. If I do this...SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENTdbo.CIF_PlaceReference.Name,dbo.CIF_Departures.Sta rtTimeFROM dbo.CIF_Departures INNER JOINdbo.CIF_PlaceReference ON dbo.CIF_Departures.EndPoint= dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.PlaceIDORDER BY dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.Name.... I get multiple place names.Any ideas?
Hello, I have a reference table. This table has an effective date and end date, and I need to get a single set of values at a point in time. Suppose the following hotel rating values are the values that I want to pull out of the table: 1 Star2 Star 3 Star 4 Star 5 Star This value has other information associated with it (benchmarks and such) and so it's possible that one of the 2 star entries gets end-dated, and then a new 2 Star entry gets created with an effective date and no end date. How can I query so that I only get one 2 Star entry at any point, and get the point in time where the date is between the effective and end date, but only pull back a single set of entries, one distinct rating value. So, suppose the first entry is end-dated 7/1, if I look at old data, I want to see the old benchmarks and so I want the previous entry end-dated 7/1; otherwise, I want to see the new end-date, with the new 2 star entry with no end date. How do I do that? Make sense?

I am using MS SQL 2005 and above table is a big table (approx 10 million records)
I am trying to append data from a source table to a destination table, the only difference between the tables is that a primary key has been established on the destination table. Problem is, the source table has a handful of duplicate values in the column that corresponds to primary on destination table; so when I run the query I get a primary key conflict. What I'd like to do is select distinct values from the source table to avoid the conflict, but am having trouble getting it to run. Here is the statement-
INSERT INTO cust_master SELECT DISTINCT cust_master_temp.* FROM cust_mast_temp LEFT OUTER JOIN cust_master ON cust_master.temp.CUST_NUMBER = cust_master.CUST_NUMBER
I have a problem with a SQL SELECT query. As far as my research goes i figured out that UNIQUE is used when you have one column that you whant unique and DISTINCT is used when you have more than one column that you want to all be unique. But i have a query where i want just some of the columns to be unique and some not. Here is the full query (It's in a stored procedure):
set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[rpt_ExecSum_Combined_4fields](@BondGroupID int) AS SELECT DISTINCT SUM(dbo.Bond.LoanAmount) AS SumOfBondValue, COUNT(dbo.Bond.BondID) AS CountOfBond, dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType FROM dbo.BondGroup INNER JOIN dbo.TransactionTable ON dbo.BondGroup.BondGroupID = dbo.TransactionTable.BondGroupID INNER JOIN dbo.Bond ON dbo.TransactionTable.TransactionID = dbo.Bond.TransactionID INNER JOIN dbo.ProgressStep ON dbo.TransactionTable.TransactionID = dbo.ProgressStep.TransactionID INNER JOIN dbo.ProgressStepType ON dbo.ProgressStep.ProgressStepTypeID = dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepTypeID WHERE (dbo.BondGroup.BondGroupID = @BondGroupID)
GROUP BY dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType, dbo.ProgressStep.ProgressStepID HAVING (dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'AIP (Approval in Principle) received') OR (dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'Grants') OR (dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'Attorney') OR (dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'Feedback received from bank') ORDER BY dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType
********* With the DISTINCT it gives me a full set of unique values but what i want is this: Every CountOfBond may have more than one SumOfBondValue and they may be the same, but if there is more than one dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType the query should only read it once. In other words the dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType is a unique value and the rest not...
