I have a customer database with the following structure:
Dept ID (int)
Section (varchar)
I need to find only occurrences of a section (eg Admin) where the section name has a record in Dept 1,2 and 3 - only return the result if the record for Admin is associated will these depts.
I am trying to complete an insert from query but the problem is I have duplicates, so I'm getting an error message. So to correct it I am creating a Find Duplicates statement in the Query analyzer but Its not working can someone tell me whats wrong with this statement (by the way I'm in SQL 2000 Server)
thank you
SELECT EmployeeGamingLicense [TM#]AS [TM# Field], Count([TM#])AS NumberOfDups FROM TERMINATION GROUP BY [TM#] HAVING Count([TM#])>1; GO
I was just wondering if any one knows how to find duplicate keys using more than one field. I used the below key to find those people who exists in list1 but don't exists in list2. I realized that the results had some duplicates which was expected but how do I then find all those duplicate people. I know how to do it if there was a primary key present I would have done a count (distinct cardnumber) > 1 and i would have done the select statement like this distinct cardnumber, but how do I do it with more that one key??
I have a company table and I would like to write a query that will return tome any duplicate companies. However, it is a little more complicated thenjust matching on exact company names. I would like it to give me duplicateswhere x number of letters at the beginning of the company name match AND xnumber of letters of the address match AND x number of letters of the citymatch. I will be doing this in batches based on the first letter of thecompany name. So for example I will first process all companies that startwith the letter "A".So for all "A" companies I want to find companies where the first 5 lettersin the company name match and the first 5 characters of the address fieldmatch and the first 5 characters of the city match. THANKS!!!
I'm trying to find duplicates. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Here's my query:
I'm trying to find only the records where the "Sales_Header_Your_Reference" field is used more then once with a different "Sales Header Document ID" So it looks like this Sales Header Document ID Sales_Header_Your_Reference 1955718 0002377729 2082721 0002478945 2082728 0002478976 2093598 0002487318 2093599 0002487318 2093601 0002487332 I hope im clear enough, here is my query. I get then listed right, but the count is all wrong, I only want to show the ones , like the one i have highlighted.
Code Block
Select COUNT(Sales_Header_Your_Reference),Tbl_Sales_Header.Sales_Header_Document_Id,Tbl_Sales_Header.Sales_Header_Your_Reference FROM dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header INNER JOIN dbo.Tbl_Sales_Invoice_Header ON dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header.Customer_Bill_Customer_No = dbo.Tbl_Sales_Invoice_Header.Sales_Invoice_Header_Bill_Customer_No AND dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header.Sales_Header_Order_DateTime = dbo.Tbl_Sales_Invoice_Header.Sales_Invoice_Header_Order_Datetime WHERE (dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header.Sales_Header_Order_DateTime > CONVERT(DATETIME, '2007-09-15 00:00:00', 102)) AND (dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header.Customer_Bill_Customer_No = 'Butler') OR (dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header.Customer_Bill_Customer_No = 'MWI') OR (dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header.Customer_Bill_Customer_No = 'NLS') OR (dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header.Customer_Bill_Customer_No = 'HSI') OR (dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header.Customer_Bill_Customer_No = 'NLSMVD') OR (dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header.Customer_Bill_Customer_No = 'RNEXT') GROUP by Tbl_Sales_Header.Sales_Header_Document_Id,Tbl_Sales_Header.Sales_Header_Your_Reference HAVING COUNT(Sales_Header_Your_Reference) > 1 order by Tbl_Sales_Header.Sales_Header_Document_Id, Tbl_Sales_Header.Sales_Header_Your_Reference
I am trying to move distinct data from one table to another based on two columns regardless of special characters such as : ( ) ; ' " / - _ = >< etc. The two columns that are the defining factors that I need to match as duplicates are Col1 & Col3, the rest I want to get the maximum data from each column for that row (I hope this made sense).
Here is what I have tried, but it does not seem to work:
Code:
select ID, Col1, max(Col2)as Col2, Col3, max(Col4)as Col4, max(Col5)as Col5, max(Col6)as Col6, max(Col7)as Col7, max(Col8)as Col8, max(Col9)as Col9 where patindex('%[^-:]%',Col1) = 0 AND patindex('%[^-:]%',Col3) = 0 into Newtable from dbo.CLEANING_bk group by Col1,Col3
Basically if there are 10 rows of duplicate data based on Col1 & Col3 (regardless of special characters), I want to move the distinct info to a new table with the maximum amount of info from the other columns of the duplicate rows.
If row 3, 4,5, & 6 are all considered duplicate and Row3/Col2 has info in it that row 4 & 5/Col2 does not, I want to combine it with the single row I export to the new table retaining as much information from the rows of the duplicates as possible.
Can anyone help and let me know why my script is not wanting to play nice?
I have this project; I am trying to work on but can€™t because of duplicated data in that table.
I tried to make the culume not accept duplicates, but I need to clean it up first and I can just delete them.
Currently the values are 11 digit numbers and I need to replace them with 00000000001
incrementing, making my last one 00000003000
Any idea on where to even begin? I am new to this.
What I am trying to do.
Find replicates numbers in TRAN_DATA
Replace each with a new number but increment the new number starting with 00000000001 and ending with 00000003000
With this I knew I had 3000 plus. ELECT TRAN_LCTR_NR, COUNT(TRAN_LCTR_NR) AS NumOccurrences FROM TRAN_DATA GROUP BY TRAN_LCTR_NR HAVING ( COUNT(TRAN_LCTR_NR) > 1 )
I have this 40,000,000 rows table... I am trying to clean this 'Contacts' table since I know there are a lot of duplicates.
At first, I wanted to get a count of how many there are.
I need to compare records where these fields are matched:
MATCHED: (email, firstname) but not MATCH: (lastname, phone, mobile). MATCHED: (email, firstname, mobile) But not MATCH: (lastname, phone) MATCHED: (email, firstname, lastname) But not MATCH: (phone, mobile)
There are many duplicate records on my data table because users constantly register under two accounts. I have a query that identify the records that have a duplicate, but it only shows one of the two records, and I need to show the two records so that I can reconcile the differences.The query is taken from a post on stack overflow. It gives me 196, but I need to see the 392 records.
How to identify the duplicates and show the tow records without having to hard code any values, so I can use the query in a report, and anytime there are new duplicates, the report shows them.
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.

I need some help. I have created a database that looks like the following: FirstName Table link to Main Table. I have created a Stored procedure that looks like this: Create procedure dbo.StoredProcedure ( @FirstName varchar(20) ) Declare FirstNameID int Insert Into Main Table ( FirstName ) Values ( @FirstName ) Select @FirstNameID = Scope_Identity() How could I redesign this to check if a value exists and if it exists then simply use that value instead of creating a new duplicate value?
I have a dilema..... I have a databas eof about 60,000 users and i need to get rid of those users where there is a duplicate email address. I have written an asp utilty that works but is far too taxing on our little server and i thinkk itwill kill it. what it does is for each email address it compares it against all the others.... so for each address it checks against 60,000 other records 60,000 times.... you know what i mean. its pretty phucked.... i tested it on just one record and took about 5mins.
anyway ive been trying to do it in SQL with no luck
i'm trying to get duplicates out of the my database
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Amount, Firstname, surname, Internalextension FROM iac.dbo.sf_profil GROUP BY FirstName, surname, internalextension HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 order by firstname, surname
How do i alter the query just retrieve records which have firstname and lastname which are similar but different extension numbers ?
Hi, This is the query which shows me the duplicates Some of the records have more than one records I would like to know how to delete the extra records so that I will end up with one record per row.

Is there a way to find duplicates in one field? For example my query has person_nbr and for each person_nbr on one day they could have used multiple payer_names. I want to be able to count each person_nbr one time but also I want to group by description(which is the name of the provider) and by payer name to see how many person's that the provider seen with each payer. My problem is that if the person had more than one payer they are counted twice. Is there some type of aggregate function to use the first payer in the list??
With PersonMIA (person_id,person_nbr,first_name,last_name,date_of_birth) as ( select distinct person_id,person_nbr,first_name,last_name,date_of_birth from (select count(*) as countenc,a.person_id,a.person_nbr, a.first_name,a.last_name, a.date_of_birth from person a join patient_encounter b on a.person_id = b.person_id group by a.person_id,a.person_nbr,a.first_name,a.last_name,a.date_of_birth )tmp where tmp.countenc <=1 ) select person_nbr,payer_name,first_name,last_name,description,year(create_timestamp),create_timestamp from ( select distinct c.description,tmp.person_id,tmp.person_nbr,tmp.first_name, tmp.last_name,tmp.date_of_birth,d.payer_name,b.create_timestamp from PersonMIA tmp join person a on a.person_id = tmp.person_id join patient_encounter b on a.person_id = b.person_id join provider_mstr c on b.rendering_provider_id = c.provider_id join person_payer d on tmp.person_id = d.person_id where c.description = 'Leon MD, Enrique' group by c.description,tmp.person_id,tmp.person_nbr,tmp.first_name,tmp.last_name, tmp.date_of_birth,d.payer_name,b.create_timestamp )tmp2 where year(create_timestamp) IN (2005,2006) group by person_nbr,payer_name,first_name,last_name,description,create_timestamp
Hi, I'll see if I can explain this clearly. The query below selects rows from the "hdr_ctl_nbr_status" table if the value in the field "tcn" from that table is found in the table "temp_tcn". I want all fields from the "hdr_ctl_nbr_status" table to be selected BUT only one row. In other words for a tcn with a value "12345678" there are 10 rows returned from the hdr_ctl_nbr_status table, I want only 1. Is there a way I can use SELECT DISTINCT to do this ? I know this usually functions on one or more fields but I want the DISTINCT to be on tcn only BUT return all fields in the query.
Select h.*,'' from hdr_ctl_nbr_status as h WITH (NOLOCK) where h.tcn in (select tcn from temp_tcn)
I have two columns of int data in the a table, as my example data shows below.
I want my data returned to be something like those in #test3, but my question is this, how can I do it without using #test2 and #test3?
By the way, the business requirement doesn't care it's min/max or any ID when one side has duplicated values.
Thanks!
Use tempdb Go
if object_ID ('#test') is not null drop table #test
create table #test (col1 int, col2 int) insert into #test Select 123, 222 union Select 124, 222 union Select 125, 222 union Select 111, 223 union Select 111, 224
if object_ID ('#test2') is not null drop table #test2 create table #test2 (col1 int, col2 int) Insert into #test2 Select distinct col1, min(col2) from #test group by col1
if object_ID ('#test3') is not null drop table #test3 create table #test3 (col1 int, col2 int) Insert into #test3 Select min(col1), col2 from #test2 group by col2
I am attempting to execute the Stored Procedure at the foot of thismessage. The Stored Procedure runs correctly about 1550 times, butreceive the following error three times:Server: Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Procedure BackFillNetworkHours,Line 68Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when thesubquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used asan expression.I've done some digging, and the error message is moderatelyself-explanatory.The problem is that there is no Line 68 in the Stored Procedure. It'sthe comment line:-- Need to find out how many hours the employee is scheduled etc.Also, there are no duplicate records in the Employee table nor theWeeklyProfile table.

Hello! Just looking for advise on dealing with duplicates in database. I have a contact table that have a bunch of duplicated customer records. My goal is to combine all duplicated records into one record. This involves couple tables:contact,contact history ,calendar. All tables related by common column "accountno". What would be the best approach for this?
I’m using SQL Server 2000. I have a table called Contacts and I would like to be able to have the UserID as an indexed column and to ignore duplicates. I set up the following properties within my SQL Server database table:
Every time I try to enter duplicates for the UserID column; I get an error that says, “Cannot enter duplicate key row in object ‘Contacts’. Can anyone explain this? Is it possible to create an index column with duplicate data?
