I have a query that returns employee names and reservations they updated for a set date. Here's a simplified version:
Select Employee.Name, Reservation.ResID
From Employee INNER JOIN Reservation
ON Employee.EmpID = Reservation.EmpID
Where Reservation.DateModified BETWEEN '200510010000' AND '200510050000'
The problem is each employee can update the same reservation several times but I only want it to display that record once. The distinct statement doesn't work because I want the EmpID to be listed more than once. Thanks.
Im reading some guys code and I see the following code "select distinct(State) from listOFschools;select * from listOFschools" He is trying to query out states and the schools that are within the state. What exactly is the distinct() function do. and if anyone can tell me, what exactly is he asking to do in this statement
I have a query with DISTINCT option. If i use DISTINCT option with aggregate function like SUM will it eliminate duplicate values and then sum the values of a column and what is the syntax for it.
EX I have a column for budget
BUDGET 100 350 275 350 100
so if i use DISTINCT SUM(BUDGET) will it eliminate duplicate values and sum the total.
I need to return a single, unique record for each director. In my example here, I'm getting back 5 records for Bossidy because he has 5 records in the Directorships table each with a unique CompID.
SELECT TDirectors.IDDir, TDirectors.DirFName, TDirectors.DirLName, TDirectors.DirLName + ', ' + TDirectors.DirFName AS DirFullName, TDirectors.ExecutiveTitle, TDirectors.DirGender, TDirectors.DirAge, TDirRace.DirRace, TDirectors.PrincipalCompany AS CompanyName, TDirectorships.CompID FROM TDirRace RIGHT OUTER JOIN TDirectors ON TDirRace.IDDir = TDirectors.IDDir RIGHT OUTER JOIN TDirectorships ON TDirectors.IDDir = TDirectorships.IDDir WHERE (TDirectors.DirLName='Bossidy')
The result is accurate but the query execution time is 3-4 minutes for 10 fact records, when i use multiple dimension. it is showing me 0 valus for this measure for all the members for the dimesion attribute which doen't have any customer order. example it shows all the member of date dimension. is there any way to reduce the rows. i think this is the reason to take more execution time.when i use EXCCLUDEEMPTY the result is NULL
I have data in a table Item_TB that I need to extract in a way that pulls out the distinct pax name and all the ticket numbers associated with the passenger per booking reference.
The data is:
Branch Folder ID Pax TktNo BookingRef HQ 123 1 Jim 4444 ABCDE HQ 123 2 Bob 5555 ABCDE HQ 123 3 Jim 6666 ABCDE HQ 123 4 Bob 7777 ABCDE HQ 124 1 Jenny 8888 FGHIJ HQ 124 2 Jenny 9999 FGHIJ HQ 124 3 Jenny 3333 FGHIJ
I somehow need to get a function to pull the data out for each booking ref like so
--BookingRef ABCDE Jim 4444/ 6666 Bob 5555 7777 --BookingRef FGHIJ Jenny 8888/ 9999/ 3333
I know I can get a simple function to return the all data, but I do not know how to only include the pax name once.
INSERT INTO #LatLong SELECT DISTINCT Latitude, Longitude FROM RGCcache
When I run it I get the following error: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#LatLong__________7CE3D9D4'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#LatLong'."
Im not sure how this is failing as when I try creating another table with 2 decimal columns and repeated values, select distinct only returns distinct pairs of values.
The failure may be related to the fact that RGCcache has about 10 million rows, but I can't see why.
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, I have written a small asp.net application, which keeps record of the proposals coming from the branch offices of a bank in a tableCREATEd as a TABLE Proposals ( ID smallint identity(7,1), BranchID char(5), Proposal_Date datetime ) This app also calculates the total number of proposals coming from a specific branch in a given date bySELECTing COUNT(BranchID) FROM Proposals WHERE BranchID=@prmBranchID AND Proposal_Date=@prmDateand prints them in a table (my target table). This target table has as many rows as the result of the "SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) FROM Proposals"and excluding the first column which displays those DISTINCT Proposal_Dates, it also has as many columns as the result of the"SELECT DISTINCT BranchID FROM Proposals". This target table converts the DateTime values ToShortDateString so that we are able to see comfortably which branch office has sent how many proposals in a given day. So far so good, and everything works fine except one thing: Certain DateTime values in the Proposals table which are of the same day but of different hours (for ex: 11.11.2005 08:30:45 and11.11.2005 10:45:30) cause some trouble in the target table, where "SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) FROM Proposals" is executed, because (as you might already guess) it displays two identical dates in ShortDateString form, and this doesn't make much sense (i.e. it causes redundant rows) What I need to do is to get a result like (in a neat fashion :) "SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) <<DISTINCT ONLY IN THE DAYS AND NOT IN HOURS OR MINUTES OR SECONDS>> FROM Proposals" So, how to do it in a suitable way? Thanks in advance.
Okay, I've been working on this for a couple of hours with no success. I'm trying to find the number of telephone numbers that are associated with multiple students at different school sites. I've created a temp table that lists all phone numbers that are associated with more than one student. I'm now trying to query that table and count the number of telephone numbers that are associated with more than one site. Essentially, I'm looking for parent/guardians that have students at different sites.
Here's an example of what I'm hoping to accomplish:
*In this example, I'm just trying to get a count of the different/distinct school sites associated with each number. If I can, at the same time, limit it to a count of > 1 (essentially excluding parents with students at the same site), even better :)
I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work. The function gets rid of the leading zeros if the field being past dosn't have any non number characters.For example:TrimZero("000000001023") > "1023"TrimZero("E1025") > "E1025"TrimZero("000000021021") > "21021"TrimZero("R5545") > "R5545"Here is the function that works in access:Public Function TrimZero(strField As Variant) As String Dim strReturn As String If IsNull(strField) = True Then strReturn = "" Else strReturn = strField Do While Left(strReturn, 1) = "0" strReturn = Mid(strReturn, 2) Loop End If TrimZero = strReturnEnd Function
I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.
Can anybody know ,how can we add builtin functions(ROW_NUMBER()) of Sql Server 2005 into database library. I get this error when i used into storeprocedure : ROW_NUMBER() function is not recognized in store procedure. i used MS SQL SERVER 2005 , so i think "ROW_FUNCTION()" is not in MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library. I need to add that function into MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library. Can anbody know how we can add that function into MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library?
I want to write function to call another function which name isparameter to first function. Other parameters should be passed tocalled function.If I call it function('f1',10) it should call f1(10). If I call itfunction('f2',5) it should call f2(5).So far i tried something likeCREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[func] (@f varchar(50),@m money)RETURNS varchar(50) ASBEGINreturn(select 'dbo.'+@f+'('+convert(varchar(50),@m)+')')ENDWhen I call it select dbo.formuła('f_test',1000) it returns'select f_test(1000)', but not value of f_test(1000).What's wrong?Mariusz
If I know this SELECT will get me unique username to configname records:Select DISTINCT configname, username FROM EtechModelRequests
JOIN CC_host.dbo.usr_smc ON username = user_id
JOIN Webservices.dbo.PartNumberPricingImport ON PartNumber = configname
Where RequestDateTime > '9/26/2007' And country = 'US' And interfacename Like '%download%' And result = 0 How do I show the other fields I need? The field I need is List Price but I don't want to DISTINCT on it too.
Hi I have two tables linked by MemberID and I'll like to produce a list from the two tables but also want to specify one table to only use the Top 50 distinct records
Table 1 (top 50 Distinct) Memberid (distinct)PictureDateTakenGalleryID Order By DateTaken Table 2 MemberidFirstNameLastNamePrivatelist MemberidPictureFirstNameLastNameGalleryIDPrivate
I have a query and it is bringing up multiples of the same data what i would like to know is if there is a way to use something like Distinct that i can use as a clause such as
Select * from Table Where Distinct ColumnName
I know that distinct doesnt work in this situation I would like to know if there is a command to do this or a way to fix it if i use this
select distinct columnName,columnName2 from table
it returns the rows where columnName and ColumnName2 both are not the same My purpose is that i need to select more than one column but i would like non duplicates based on ONE column name
I have 6 fields in my table and I want to display only distinct values from one of those columns. However, I also need to use the fields from the remaining 5 columns in my asp page. For example,
Columns: CompID CompanyName Ticker Industry CEOName MarketCap
In one table on the page, I want to display only unique entries for 'CompanyName' which I've been doing with this statement:
SqlText = "SELECT DISTINCT CompanyName FROM [tablename] WHERE UserID=" & intUserID & ""
However, I also need to use the other values associated 'CompanyName' in my asp page after opening my recordset. I need to display <%=Rs("CompID"%>, <%=Rs("Ticker"%>, <%=Rs("Industry"%> etc. while maintaining the DISTINCT portion of my statement.
I am trying to grab the distinct category so only 'male and female' is output, but i am also needing to grab the id, file_name to use later on the page as well.
When i try
select distinct category, id, file_name from tbl_pictures
it outputs all the records since there is no exact match in all 3 fields,
but i am wanting this to happen
select distinct category from tbl_pictures
but i am still needing to grab the other two fields because i need to use them in the next part of the page
Hi, I have data in several tables and Im having trouble filtering the data.
This is statement that Im executing: 1. SELECT DISTINCT Countries.Name, Companies.ShortName, Persons.FirstName, Persons.LastName, PersonSkills.Skills
This is the statement that gives me the results I want: 2. SELECT DISTINCT Countries.Name, Companies.ShortName, Persons.FirstName, Persons.LastName
The problem with this is I need to have Persons.Skills in the statement and DISTINCT doesnt filter the data the way I need it to because the data in Persons.Skills is different which results in I get duplicated results.
Is it possible to do something like SELECT DISTINCT column1,..,column5,(SELECT Persons.Skills)
by this I mean to apply distinct to some of the columns in the SELECT statement?
I'm trying to find the Distinct for CODEID but it's still returning duplicate data. What is the best way to write this query so that the result I get are Distinct Codeid?
SELECT DISTINCT dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeID, dbo.Item.PartNumber, dbo.ItemShadow.AgreementDurationCode, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeCategory, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeCategoryID, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.Code, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeName, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeAbbreviation, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeShortAbbreviation, dbo.Item.ItemName, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeMaxcimAbbreviation, dbo.ItemShadow.ItemStatusCode, dbo.ItemShadow.LicenseTypeCode FROM dbo.Item INNER JOIN dbo.ItemShadow ON dbo.Item.ItemID = dbo.ItemShadow.ItemID INNER JOIN dbo.AgreementDurationCode ON dbo.Item.AgreementDurationCodeID = dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeID WHERE (dbo.ItemShadow.LicenseTypeCode IN ('SEL', 'OLP', 'OLV')) AND (dbo.ItemShadow.ItemStatusCode = 'COM')
I am using SQL Server 2000. I have 3 fields in my table. I want to do distinct on one field but also want to show the remaining two fields in the result. How can I do that?
Is there some way to use the distinct keyword so that it applies ONLY to a subset of the items in the select list???
For example, suppose I want to select col_1, col_2, col_3, col_4
but I do not want distinct applied against all 4 items... Maybe I want all 4 items in the selection list, but I want distinct to use only col_3 as its filtration criteria...
I know the syntax shown below is not valid, but I am showing it anyway because I am hoping it will illustrate what I am looking for...
Is there a VALID syntax that is something like this???
