Transact SQL :: Distinct By One Column By Selecting Multiple Column?
Jul 17, 2015I have a SQL Query issue you can find in SQL Fiddle
SQL FIDDLE for Demo
My query was like this
For Insert
Insert into Employee values('aa', 'T', 'qqq')
Insert into Employee values('aa' , 'F' , 'qqq')
Insert into Employee values('bb', 'F' , 'eee')
Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'T' , 'rrr')
Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'pp' , 'aaa')
Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'Zz' , 'bab')
Insert into Employee values('cc' , 'ZZ' , 'bac')
For select
select col1,MAX(col2) as Col2,Max(Col3) as Col3
from Employee
group by Col1
I supposed to get last row asÂ
  cc  Zz  bab
Instead I am gettingÂ
 cc  Zz  rrrÂ
which is wrong
Selecting Where Cloumn = Column OR Column = Value
May 29, 2008Hi
I have a gridview with a sql data source and a few drop down lists where i choose values to sorth what i would like to retrive from the table. The problem im facing is that when i pass values to the database, i can sort out and retrive my items when both my listboxes have selected values.
But when i want to select everything from the table where the column = clumn or cloumn = value i dont get anything back.
I have 2 dropdown lists. One for category and one for location. These are populated drom the database by selecting the column and retriving destinct values. I have a function that fires when one of the dropdown lists are changed witch changes the sql datasource select value so it retrives items sorted by the selected categories and locations.
Here is the function:
protected void DropDownList_Change(object sender, EventArgs e) { string Category = DropDownListKategori.SelectedValue.ToString(); string Location = DropDownListEtabl.SelectedValue.ToString(); SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT ARTNR, ARTTYP, AKTIVITET, DATUM, KUND, PLATS, KOMMENTAR FROM ARTIKEL WHERE ARTTYP = @ARTTYP AND PLATS = @PLATS"; SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Clear(); SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add(@"ARTTYP", Category); SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add(@"PLATS", Location); SqlDataSource1.DataBind(); }
The dropdown lists have an option to not retrive values by category or location. I have set that value to PLATS and ARTTYP thinking the query would would retrive everything if these were selected
SELECT ARTNR, ARTTYP, AKTIVITET, DATUM, KUND, PLATS, KOMMENTAR FROM ARTIKEL WHERE ARTTYP = ARTTYP AND PLATS = PLATS
however if both these drop down lists are set to not filter, my query gets nothing in return. And if one of the lists has this selected and ther other one has a value, say a location or something nothing is retrived either. However if both columns have something selected i do get values returned.
My speculation is that the query beeing run when this happens is that it is trying to find columns having the value ARTTYP or PLATS (category or location), as a string and actually seeing it as Im trying to retrive values where column = column.
Any suggestions on how i can make my query run as intended or is there another problem Im not seeing.

Selecting Only Rows That Same The Value In One Column
Jun 5, 2006Mike writes "Hi,
I am a beginner with TSQL and I hope this is not a silly question :-)
Lets say I have a table with 2 columns, 1 a primary key identity field with increment 1 and the other a char.
EG:
ID ANIMAL
---------
1 CAT
2 DOG
3 PIG
4 RAT
5 PIG
6 DOG
7 DOG
.
.
And so on with many entries
How do I return a selection of rows that have the contents of the ANIMAL field matching 1 or more times
EG:
From above table I want to return rows 2,6 & 7 and 3 & 5 ONLY and not 1(CAT) and 4(RAT) because they only occur once.
In my real life situation I have unknown numeric data in field 2 but the principal is the same.
How do I do this?
Thanks in Advance

Aug 3, 2006I am migrating between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 but hit a snag when attempting to write a query to display the column's description.

Selecting Multiple Column From Sub Query.
Apr 17, 2008
Hi,
I am having two tables Products and Transaction
In products I have ProductID and Description. (10 Records)
In Transaction I have ProductID, Lot, Quantity and ListID . ( 4 Million Records)
When I use the inner join between these tables as below query its taking lot of time to give output.
select ProductID, Desc, Lot, qty from Products inner join Transactions on Products.ProductID = Transactions.ProductID
where ListID = '9090909'
otherwise, if I use the below query its takes very few milli seconds to give output but I am not able to get the description from the product table.
select * from Transactions TR where TR.ListID= '9090909' and TR.ProductID in
(select NDC from Products where Products.ProductID = TR.ProductID)
Any from can help me to get the description too at very few times.

Jul 20, 2005Example, suppose you have these 2 tables(NOTE: My example is totally different, but I'm simply trying to setupthe a simpler version, so excuse the bad design; not the point here)CarsSold {CarsSoldID int (primary key)MonthID intDealershipID intNumberCarsSold int}Dealership {DealershipID int, (primary key)SalesTax decimal}so you may have many delearships selling cars the same month, and youwanted a report to sum up totals of all dealerships per month.select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDMy question is, is there a way to achieve something like this:select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',TotalCarsSoldInMonth * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDNotice the only difference is the 3rd column in the select. Myparticular query is performing some crazy math and the only way I knowof how to get it to work is to copy and past the logic which isgetting out way out of hand...Thanks,Dave
