DISTINCT QUERY

Jul 20, 2005

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 get multiple place names.

Any ideas?

Trying To Add A NON-DISTINCT Field To A DISTINCT Record Set In A Query.

Mar 12, 2007

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

Getting Distinct Entries In Query.

Mar 18, 2008

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?

Simple Distinct Query (?)

Aug 19, 2005

I have what I thought should be a simple query that's not quite as simple as I thought. Maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet.

Here's the scenario,

Data table looks like this :

COLUMN A is Primary Key
COLUMN B is UserID
COLUMN C is (for example purposes) an int field

A B C
1 1 SOME VALUE
2 1 SOME VALUE
3 1 SOME VALUE
4 2 SOME VALUE
5 2 SOME VALUE
6 2 SOME VALUE
7 3 SOME VALUE
8 3 SOME VALUE
9 3 SOME VALUE

The query that I'm looking for would return all 3 columns but only the first row for each distinct (unique) UserID (Column B)

Hope that all makes sense! ;)

Selecting A Distinct Row Query

May 13, 2004

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

Doesn't seem to be understanding "Distinct"

Any Ideas?

SQL DISTINCT UNIQUE QUERY

May 4, 2007

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...

Please help, my boss is on my case :)

DISTINCT Conflicting With My Query

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

               AND LEN(p.phonenumber) = 10
     ) AS list ON m.Number = list.Number
WHERE m.homephone IS NULL OR m.homephone = ''

Error:

DISTINCT Query Issue

Jan 10, 2007

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. :(

DISTINCT SELECT Query With More Than One Field

Feb 6, 2008

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

Query Help - Select Distinct Possibly?

Oct 26, 2006

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:

52023.762006-02-18 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?
