This should be trivial but I'm ignorant so I'm hoping someone can assist. I can find lots of code snippets for removing duplicates, but I can't find a variation that works for my case.
Overview: I'm doing a name look-up, combining first & last names and if it matches against an employee table, getting the employeeID for that person. I need to only return the unique matches, and exclude any names that happen more than once in the employee table.
I have 3 possible results from my select (snippet below):
1) Single match
2) No match
3) Multiple matches (2 or more people, same first and last name)
My simple code below does exactly what I need for case 1 & 2. If there is a single match on the name, it's returns the res_ID and emp_ID as expected, if no match, no record and that works for me.
The problem I can't solve is if there are two John Smith employees, both records are returned, which is what my query requests, but not what I need. I want ONLY return data which has ONE exclusive match, and exclude all others.
Code for case 1 & 2, doesn't handle 3rd case:
Select distinct ot.res_ID, e.emp_ID
From employee e, @OutputTable ot
Where (e.fName + ' ' + e.lName) = ot.empFullNameText
Employee table has first & list names, plus emp_ID
@OutputTable is a table variable from my proc which has "John Smith" type text names as one string.
This has to be simple, but I'm over my head on this one. All ideas, reference links or other assistance appreciated.
I want to write a query that will cycle through the results and if it comes across another record that has a matching Table.ID I want to exclude that row from the result set.
I am not all too familiar with how to use either a Case or If..Else Statement within a Sql statement that would accomplish this.
Am I going about this the right way? I want to find pairs of entitiesin a table that have some relationship (such as a field being thesame), so Iselect t1.id, t2.id from sametable t1 join sametable t2 ont1.id<>t2.idwhere t1.fieldx=t2.fieldx ...The trouble is, this returns each pair twice, e.g.B CC BM NN MIs there a way to do this kind of thing and only get each pair once?Kerry
I have a table with 22 million Business records. I can see that there are duplicates when I group by BusinessName and Address and Phone. I'd like to place only the duplicates into a table, with a ranking, oldest business key gets a ranking of 1.
As a bonus I'd like each group to have a distinct group name (although not necessary, just want to know how to do this)
Later after I run more verifications to make sure these are not referenced elsewhere I'll delete everything with a matchRank > 1 out of the main Business table.
DROP TABLE [dbo].[TestBusiness]; GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestBusiness]( [Business_pk] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [BusinessName] VARCHAR (200) NOT NULL, [Address] VARCHAR(MAX) NOT NULL,
I need to send the result of a procedure to an update statement.Basically updating the column of one table with the result of aquery in a stored procedure. It only returns one value, if it didnt Icould see why it would not work, but it only returns a count.Lets say I have a sproc like so:create proc sp_countclients@datecreated datetimeasset nocount onselect count(clientid) as countfrom clientstablewhere datecreated > @datecreatedThen, I want to update another table with that value:Declare @dc datetimeset @dc = '2003-09-30'update anothertableset ClientCount = (exec sp_countclients @dc) -- this line errorswhere id_ = @@identityOR, I could try this, but still gives me error:declare @c intset @c = exec sp_countclients @dcWhat should I do?Thanks in advance!Greg
I have an Execute SQL Task that executes "select count(*) as Row_Count from xyztable" from an Oracle Server. I'm trying to assign the result to a variable. However when I try to execute I get an error: [Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "RowCount": "Unsupported data type on result set binding Row_Count.".
Which data type should I use for the variable, RowCount? I've tried Int16, Int32, Int64.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- I executed it in my SQL Server Management Studio Express and I got: Commands completed successfully. I do not know where the result is and how to get the result viewed. Please help and advise.
HI, I ran a select * from customers where state ='va', this is the result...
(29 row(s) affected) The following file has been saved successfully: C:outputcustomers.rpt 10826 bytes
I choose Query select to a file then when I tried to open the customer.rpt from the c drive I got this error message. I am not sure why this happend invalid TLV record
As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC. Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS showID showTitle
SHOWACCESS showID remoteID
VIDEOS videoDate showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle, (SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID) FROM shows, showAccess WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID AND showAccess.remoteID=21 ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate. Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
I am trying to code a WHERE xxxx IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc') requirement but it the return values for the IN keyword changes according to another column, thus the need for a CASE function.
WHERE GROUP.GROUP_ID = 2 AND DEPT.DEPT_ID = 'D' AND WORK_TYPE_ID IN ( CASE DEPT_ID WHEN 'D' THEN 'A','B','C' <---- ERROR WHEN 'F' THEN 'C','D ELSE 'A','B','C','D' END )
I kept on getting errors, like
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 44Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'. which leads me to assume that the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN statement does not allow mutiple values for result expression. Is there a way to get the SQL above to work or code the same logic in a different manner in just one simple SQL, and not a procedure or T-SQL script.
i have two tables: "Person" and "Year". "Person" can have many "Year" (one to many relation). i want a query which returns all the records from "Person" where "Year" is 2005 but exclude if there is any "Year" with 2004. how can i write that query? any help will be appreciated. i did try <code> SELECT * FROM Person JOIN Year ON Person.Id = Year.PersonID WHERE Year.Year = 2005 AND Year.Year <> 2004 </code> but it doesn't seem to work. i want this query to return records from Person where there is no any year with 2004 but only 2005. If a person has both 2004 and 2005 exclude that person.
I am running a query that works just fine however, I would like it to exclude value that are equal to zero.
Basically my query looks at the commission that clients pay over a number of periods.
So it goes like this
T.Client_Code as Client ,SUM(CASE t.Transaction_Date WHEN DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 1, GETDATE()),0)THEN (ABS (t.transaction_commission) /((fx.Exchange_Bid + fx.Exchange_Ask)/2 )) ELSE 0 END)as Commission_Day
FROM TABLE T JOINING FX TABLE
WHERE fx.Currency = 'USD'
And T.Salesman_Name in ('X''Y'Z)
Group BY T.Client_Code
It works perfectly fine however, we dont transact with our clients everyday so therefore this list will return all of our clients in the database and many will have generate zero commission. I want to keep the query along those lines I just need to insert something that says "ONLY SHOW WHEN Commission is not ZERO.
I have a list of numbers that I get from a query to my database. how could I make the query so that I can exclude a couple of numbers. For example the numbers 1234 and 8888. My list is in the range of 1 - 99999.
I have 16,000 rows in tblClient and 3000 rows in NewTable.SELECT tblClient.*FROM tblClient INNERJOIN [New Table] ON tblClient.NoDossier <> [New Table].NoDossierif I use = (equal) instead of <> (exclude), the query returns 3000 rowswhen I use <> it returns 160000 rows,if I try group by, the query bugswhat is my problem
Is there any way of excluding an entire row if a particular field contains a null value? Even if other fields in the row aren't null... This is in SQL Server 2005
I have a datagrid with a “sort� field I want to use to sort the rows in ascending order. However, I want values with a 0 or NULL value to be displayed last. I can’t figure out how to do a sort (preferably in the SQL) that returns the empty values last. Is this possible?
I have a table (tblAction) that contains customer account numbers (Account) and actions taken on the account in a given day (AcctCode). So each account can have multiple actions taken on it (one row for each action) in a day.
I have a request to present a result set that displays all action 52, 53,54. But if a given account number has at least one action 28, then they want me to exclude all the rows for that account number from the result set. Can someone help with this?
Select AVG(AVG_Back), AVG(AVG_Yield) FROM tblUser WHERE Date Between '3/1/2008' AND '3/31/2008'
I want to limit the AVG_Back field to exclude all values of 0. So only average AVG_Back if the value > 0. What is the best way to accomplish this? I can't just put it in the where clause or the AVG_Yield will be excluded too.
I am attempting to create an SQL statement that will query a file and give me amount totals by company number/customer number. The totals have to be combined into 4 groups (1/2/3/4) for each amount total in company number/customer number combination. In effect it will look something like this:
I HAVE THIS PART WORKING ALREADY. The problem is that I am trying to exclude the rows that have 0 (zero) in the amount column from showing up in the output. The amount is a calculated field of all the invoice for that company number/customer number combination for that sort (eg: Company 00001/Customer 11111/Sort 1 has $55 associated to it). I cannot use the calculated field in my where clause.
I will include a simplified version of my select statement so you can see how I got as far as I have and where to go so I pretty much say "WHERE SUM(SubTBL.Amount) <> 0".
----SELECT STATEMENT----- SELECT MainTBL.Cust#, SUM(SubTBL.Amount) As TotAmt, CASE WHEN (days (currdate) - days (MainTBL.DateFLD)) <= 30 THEN '1' WHEN (days (currdate) - days (MainTBL.DateFLD)) BETWEEN 31 AND 60 THEN '2' WHEN (days (currdate) - days (MainTBL.DateFLD)) BETWEEN 61 AND 90 THEN '3' WHEN (days (currdate) - days (MainTBL.DateFLD))> 90 THEN '4'
I have a column that is VARCHAR(30) this column is supposed to contain values that "look" like a date in the form mm/dd/yyyy - however because it is a free-text character field often times data is entered other then a date -- "text" -
How do I return only the data that is in the format of mm/dd/yyyy
I have a cube that is showing measures that don't exist. Let me give an example. This example will include 3 dimensions, product, location, and time. The fact table measure will be sales.
Here are the distinct values if you were to write a sql query against the dimensionl model that feeds the cube.
Product Location Time Sales A X 1/04 200 B Y 1/04 100
A X 2/04 300
In the cube, if you were to look at product by location for just 2/04, you would see:
Product Location Sales All Loc 300 A X 300 Y
All Loc B X Y
How do you get rid of the zero's or combinations that don't exist?
I've a query wich with I select buildings form a table. I've a second table with a few building I don't want in my select (exclude form select). How can I make this?
