Help With Distinct Function.
Oct 11, 2005
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.

Hi,
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')
I thought I could do this but it doesn't work.
SELECT DISTINCT(TDirectors.IDDir)...
Thanks

I need to know how many widgets are located at each factory.
I have a table called "Widgets". The pertinent column(s) are:
Factory UID
By using only this table I can group the results by the FactoryUID to get the answer. However, this table does not tell me the factory name.
I have a table called "Factories". The pertinent column(s) are:
FactoryUID
FactoryName
I can join these two tables by the FactoryUID. But I don't know how to write this query so that my results will look like the following table:
FactoryName Widgets
Factory1 100
Factory2 200
Factory3 300

My requirement is to count the customer order number for premium order type orders which has some order quantity.I am using below MDX
count
(
Filter
(([Customer Order].[Dim Customer Orderkey].[Dim Customer Orderkey].members,
[Outbound Order Attributes].[Order Type].&[P]),[Measures].[Ordered, pcs]>0 ) ,
)
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
count
(
Filter
(([Customer Order].[Dim Customer Orderkey].[Dim Customer Orderkey].members,
[Outbound Order Attributes].[Order Type].&[C]),[Measures].[Shipped, pcs]>0 ) ,
EXCLUDEEMPTY)

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.

Hi, I have the following script segment which is failing:
CREATE TABLE #LatLong (Latitude DECIMAL, Longitude DECIMAL, PRIMARY KEY (Latitude, Longitude))
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.
Any ideas?

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 tried to get the result out of the "dbo.AuthorsForState" by executing the following sql script:
shcInlineTableFNresult.sql:
USE pubs

SELECT * FROM shcInLineTableFN
GO
I got the following error message:

Invalid object name 'shcInLineTableFN'.
Please help and advise me how to fix the syntax
"SELECT * FROM shcInLineTableFN"

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.

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
thanks for any help

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.
Thanks again.

I have 3 records in a db..
Table
id
file_name
category
Records
1
bob.jpg
male
2
rob.jpg
male
3
pam.jpg
female
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
how can i go about doing this

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?

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???
select col_1, col_2, (distinct col_3), col_4
or
select col_1, col_2, distinct (col_3), col_4
