This is probably easy but I can't work it out. I have this statement
SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.Name
FROM dbo.CIF_Departures INNER JOIN
dbo.CIF_PlaceReference ON dbo.CIF_Departures.EndPoint
= dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.PlaceID
ORDER BY dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.Name
This 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 return
the one nearest to the current time. If I do this...
SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT
dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.Name,dbo.CIF_Departures.Sta rtTime
FROM dbo.CIF_Departures INNER JOIN
dbo.CIF_PlaceReference ON dbo.CIF_Departures.EndPoint
= dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.PlaceID
ORDER BY dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.Name
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
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]

SELECT DISTINCT PC.ContentID, PC.GeoUnitID, PC.ContactID, CT.ID, CT.PageTitle, C.FirstName, C.LastName, C.MainPhoneNO, C.EmailAddress FROM ProductContacts PC INNER JOIN Content CT ON PC.ContentID = CT.ID INNER JOIN Contacts C ON PC.ContactID = C.ContactID WHERE PC.GeoUnitID = @GeoUnitID ORDER BY CT.PageTitle ASC
The problem I'm having is two rows have the same ContentID with a different ContactID. I want to only return a single row for each ContentID.
SELECT NotYetPublished, Available, Catalogx, pubdate, pubdate_full, NYP, Fulfillment, Title from finaldata where available <> 'Out-of-Print' or (totalnew <>0 and totalused <>0 and totalcollectible<>0) order by NYP desc, pubdate_full desc, Fulfillment desc, Title
I only want to return records that do not have the same Catalogx. I can't use distinct since some of the other data is different.
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)
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...

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'm familiar with MySQL and recently started working with MSSQL. I have a general understanding of how the DISTINCT command works, but would like to expand on that a bit.
I need to do a DISTINCT query on a record's 'name' column, but i need all of the values for each of those returned records. So, I need the query to only apply the DISTINCT command to the 'name' column, not the other columns of the received records.
Can someone explain a bit how to word this
Many thanks in advance.
EDIT: Upon reflection, I realize now that this request is counter to the way DISTINCT works. D'oh. Move along, nothing to see here. :(
I am trying to build a report with a prompt to select building. It all works fine except I in the prompt building is list as may times as there is data for it. I want it to only display once, but not effect the other data is there a way I can query this?
I have my 2 datasets and my parameter set up to display building to select from. My issue is I get multiple values in the Select Value Prompt. It will pull the correct data I just want to clean up the Select Value Prompt.
Hello, I want to do a DISTINCT SELECT query with more than one field, for example a ID field with a Type field, as if both fields make the primary key, like (ID 1 ,Type 1) ,( ID 1, Type 2) and (ID 2, Type 1) is ok but not (ID 1, Type1) and (ID 1,Type 1) if its not possible to do a distinct with more than one then what other techniques are possible to get the duplicate data out. the reason why I want to use distinct is that I can use that query to export that data to where both of these fields make the primary key. Thanks in advance
I need to return the current case cost for every UPC in my table. In my current query I return case costs that have an effective date of today or earlier. The problem is that in my results, one UPC may have two or more case costs that were are effective <= GETDATE(). I can sort it by effective date (DESC) so I know the first of every UPC in my results will be the current effective case cost, but how do I modify my query so that in my result set I only get the first of every UPC?
Here is my query:
SELECT factCaseCosts.nUpcKey, factCaseCosts.dCaseCost, factCaseCosts.dtEffectiveDate FROM factCaseCosts WHERE (factCaseCosts.dtEffectiveDate <= GETDATE()) ORDER BY dtEffectiveDate DESC
Here is my current result set: 52023.762006-08-01 00:00:00 52023.762006-02-18 00:00:00 52123.762006-08-01 00:00:00 52123.762006-02-18 00:00:00 52230.362006-08-01 00:00:00 52230.362006-02-18 00:00:00 52323.762006-08-01 00:00:00 52323.762006-02-18 00:00:00
I only want the first 520 returned, the first 521 returned, the first 522 returned, and the first 523 returned. How can I do this? Thanks!
Ive got the following SQL query and i want to return only distinct [ReviewID]'s, however SQL Server is complaining about it. This is the query:
SELECT DISTINCT Top 5 [ReviewID],[ReviewType],[ReviewTypeName],[LoginID],[LoginForename],[LoginSurname],[Approved],[ReviewDate] ,[Stars],[RelatedProductID],[Title],[Copy],[Rating], [Image1], [Image1Width], [Image1Height], [Image1AltText], [Image2], [Image2Width], [Image2Height], [Image2AltText], [CategoryL4] FROM [feManagedReview]
This is whats its complaining about:
Msg 421, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The text data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT because it is not comparable. Msg 421, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The text data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT because it is not comparable. Msg 421, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The text data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT because it is not comparable.
This is part of a query I have. I want to display the diagnosis code attached to a patient. Sometimes there are more than one which is why I have tried distinct. I am getting the message 'subquery returned more than 1 value...'
If I use MIN or MAX, its giving me the min possible diagnosis code alphabetically or the max, not the one actually assigned to the patient which is what I want.
(SELECT DISTINCT (Diagnosis.DiagnosisCode) FROM Diagnosis LEFT OUTER JOIN CourseDiagnosis ON CourseDiagnosis.DiagnosisSer = Diagnosis.DiagnosisSer LEFT JOIN Course ON Course.CourseSer = CourseDiagnosis.CourseSer JOIN Patient ON Patient.PatientSer = Course.PatientSer WHERE Diagnosis.ObjectStatus = 'Active' AND Diagnosis.Description not like 'ERROR%' AND Diagnosis.DiagnosisTableName not in ('RTDS Dates')),
