I have the following table called "tests" :
id WeekNbrnametest hours
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 2007/26John "testA"5
2 2007/26John "testB"6
3 2007/26David "testA"3
4 2007/28David "testC"2
5 2007/30Victor "testD"1
I want to write a query so that I have as a result one row per person and per week, as followed
This means that I need to concatenate the values of the test column if in the same week and same person.
For now, I have only managed to do the job without the test concatenation the following way:
SELECT DISTINCT WeekNbr, name, SUM(hours) as [Total of hours]
FROM tests
GROUP BY WeekNbr, name
and I get the following:
WeekNbrnamehours
-------------------------------------------------------
2007/26John 11
2007/26David 3
2007/28David 2
2007/30Victor 1
Hi all. I have been going round and round for the past 2 days on this and would appreciate any help. In a view select statement, I need to concat 2 varchar fields with a text field. If I CONVERT the TEXT field to VARCHAR, only the first 30 characters of the field appear in the result set. If I convert the VARCHAR fields to TEXT, I get an error that I cannot CONCAT TEXT fields. I'm not sure what to do. Can someone please offer some assistance? Thanks in advance! Steve
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
Field is not listed as text in any of the databases it is a varchar(255) - and that can be changed if that is what causes the issue.
But here is my syntax which produces the error Msg 421, Level 16, State 1, Procedure, Line 2
The text data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT because it is not comparable.
DECLARE @c NVARCHAR(MAX) WITH c1 AS ( SELECT [abcd] AS table_name FROM [intranet].[dbo].[soccerfieldinfo] where [abcd] IS NOT NULL ), c2 AS ( SELECT Row_Number() OVER (ORDER BY table_name) AS r
I'm having a problem building a query for an application I'm writing. Basically, there are a bunch of records in a table, and some of them may have the same identifier code. I only want one of each identifier code. The table looks like this:
Memo --------- Msg_Identifier varchar(60) Memo_ID int (pk) Subject varchar(64) Message text Priority int Deleted int
My query:
SELECT DISTINCT Msg_Identifier, Memo_ID, Subject, Message, Priority FROM Memo WHERE Deleted = '0'
When I run this query, I get "The text data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT because it is not comparable."
I only want Msg_Identifier to be the distinct field, and it's obviously not set up as text. I've used SELECT DISTINCT in the past but I don't ever recall hitting an issue like this. What's the best way to do it?

I have a parameter value as shown below and this is dynamic and can grow
Example : 101-NY, 102-CA, 165-GA 116-NY, 258-NJ, 254-PA, 245-DC, 298-AL How do I get the values in the below format NY,CA,GA --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state NY,NJ,PA,DC,AL --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state
correct query that will fetch only state names and not the numbers.
I do an distinct query like this:query = "SELECT DISTINCT name, total = COUNT(*) from products where name LIKE '%" & searchString & "%' GROUP BY name"The query works fine but I need to select one more field called "info" so I just tried this:query = "SELECT DISTINCT name, info, total = COUNT(*) from products where name LIKE '%" & searchString & "%' GROUP BY name"but then I get the error message:"Column 'products.info' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause"I want do group just by "name" and not "info"How can I select this "info" field to?? somebody know??
Have a query that uses TOP 10; but I'm not receiving unique results and haven't been able to figure out using DISTINCT with TOP. Is it possible to use TOP with DISTINCT?
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[CastCompare] @ID int, @TopRecords int, @Type int
AS
DECLARE @SQLSelect nVarchar(1000)
SET @SQLSelect = 'SELECT TOP ' + CAST(@TopRecords AS Varchar(10)) + ' * FROM TblCastList,TblCast where TblCastList.ProductResellerID=TblCast.ResellerID and TblCastList.ProductID=' + CAST(@ID AS Varchar(10)) + ' and TblCastList.Type=' + CAST(@Type AS Varchar(10)) + ' order by TblCast.[name] asc '
Exec sp_executesql @SQLSelect GO
how Can I add distinct command to query ? I tried something but none of them is work.
I want to add distinct TblCastList.[ProductResellerID]
I want to write a query to see the Authors and their last articles with no distinct values. Like AuthorImage - AuthorFullName - ArticleTitle - ArticleDate
If anyone knows the solution i will be glad . Thanks from now on
SELECT DISTINCT PC.ContentID, PC.GeoUnitID, PC.ContactID, CT.ID, CT.PageTitle, C.FirstName, C.LastName, C.MainPhoneNO, C.EmailAddress FROM ProductContacts PC INNER JOIN Content CT ON PC.ContentID = CT.ID INNER JOIN Contacts C ON PC.ContactID = C.ContactID WHERE PC.GeoUnitID = @GeoUnitID ORDER BY CT.PageTitle ASC
The problem I'm having is two rows have the same ContentID with a different ContactID. I want to only return a single row for each ContentID.
SELECT NotYetPublished, Available, Catalogx, pubdate, pubdate_full, NYP, Fulfillment, Title from finaldata where available <> 'Out-of-Print' or (totalnew <>0 and totalused <>0 and totalcollectible<>0) order by NYP desc, pubdate_full desc, Fulfillment desc, Title
I only want to return records that do not have the same Catalogx. I can't use distinct since some of the other data is different.
I'm kind of newbie and I like to know if you can solve me a question,
The fact is I'm trying to gather some information and I don't know how. What I want to do is retrieve the values of five columns, the first one is the primary key, but the others must be unique (all together)
This is probably easy but I can't work it out. I have this statementSELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.NameFROM dbo.CIF_Departures INNER JOINdbo.CIF_PlaceReference ON dbo.CIF_Departures.EndPoint= dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.PlaceIDORDER BY dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.NameThis results in a column of placenames which is OK. There are also multiple'time of day' values against each placename however I only want to returnthe one nearest to the current time. If I do this...SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENTdbo.CIF_PlaceReference.Name,dbo.CIF_Departures.Sta rtTimeFROM dbo.CIF_Departures INNER JOINdbo.CIF_PlaceReference ON dbo.CIF_Departures.EndPoint= dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.PlaceIDORDER BY dbo.CIF_PlaceReference.Name.... I get multiple place names.Any ideas?
Hello, I have a reference table. This table has an effective date and end date, and I need to get a single set of values at a point in time. Suppose the following hotel rating values are the values that I want to pull out of the table: 1 Star2 Star 3 Star 4 Star 5 Star This value has other information associated with it (benchmarks and such) and so it's possible that one of the 2 star entries gets end-dated, and then a new 2 Star entry gets created with an effective date and no end date. How can I query so that I only get one 2 Star entry at any point, and get the point in time where the date is between the effective and end date, but only pull back a single set of entries, one distinct rating value. So, suppose the first entry is end-dated 7/1, if I look at old data, I want to see the old benchmarks and so I want the previous entry end-dated 7/1; otherwise, I want to see the new end-date, with the new 2 star entry with no end date. How do I do that? Make sense?

I am using MS SQL 2005 and above table is a big table (approx 10 million records)
I am trying to append data from a source table to a destination table, the only difference between the tables is that a primary key has been established on the destination table. Problem is, the source table has a handful of duplicate values in the column that corresponds to primary on destination table; so when I run the query I get a primary key conflict. What I'd like to do is select distinct values from the source table to avoid the conflict, but am having trouble getting it to run. Here is the statement-
INSERT INTO cust_master SELECT DISTINCT cust_master_temp.* FROM cust_mast_temp LEFT OUTER JOIN cust_master ON cust_master.temp.CUST_NUMBER = cust_master.CUST_NUMBER
I have a problem with a SQL SELECT query. As far as my research goes i figured out that UNIQUE is used when you have one column that you whant unique and DISTINCT is used when you have more than one column that you want to all be unique. But i have a query where i want just some of the columns to be unique and some not. Here is the full query (It's in a stored procedure):
set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[rpt_ExecSum_Combined_4fields](@BondGroupID int) AS SELECT DISTINCT SUM(dbo.Bond.LoanAmount) AS SumOfBondValue, COUNT(dbo.Bond.BondID) AS CountOfBond, dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType FROM dbo.BondGroup INNER JOIN dbo.TransactionTable ON dbo.BondGroup.BondGroupID = dbo.TransactionTable.BondGroupID INNER JOIN dbo.Bond ON dbo.TransactionTable.TransactionID = dbo.Bond.TransactionID INNER JOIN dbo.ProgressStep ON dbo.TransactionTable.TransactionID = dbo.ProgressStep.TransactionID INNER JOIN dbo.ProgressStepType ON dbo.ProgressStep.ProgressStepTypeID = dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepTypeID WHERE (dbo.BondGroup.BondGroupID = @BondGroupID)
GROUP BY dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType, dbo.ProgressStep.ProgressStepID HAVING (dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'AIP (Approval in Principle) received') OR (dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'Grants') OR (dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'Attorney') OR (dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'Feedback received from bank') ORDER BY dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType
********* With the DISTINCT it gives me a full set of unique values but what i want is this: Every CountOfBond may have more than one SumOfBondValue and they may be the same, but if there is more than one dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType the query should only read it once. In other words the dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType is a unique value and the rest not...

I need p.phonenumber in there but then it messes up my DISTINCT ON m.number because I end up with dup m.numbers if I run just the inner select statement during testing.
But then I need the phonenumber in that subquery so that I can do list.phonenumber
ahh!
UPDATE Master SET master.homephone = list.phonenumber FROM MASTER m INNER JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT p.number, topphone.phonenumber FROM phones p INNER JOIN (SELECT top 1 phonenumber from phones) as topphone ON topphone.number = p.number WHERE p.phonetypeID = 1 AND ISNULL(p.good, 0) <> 0 AND LEN(p.phonenumber) = 10 ) AS list ON m.Number = list.Number WHERE m.homephone IS NULL OR m.homephone = ''
Error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure Skiaa, Line 66 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'top'. Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure Skiaa, Line 88 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'top'.
I want to update m.homephone with the p.phonenumber based in the filtering critiria I have specified but this simple task is turning out to be a pain.
I'm familiar with MySQL and recently started working with MSSQL. I have a general understanding of how the DISTINCT command works, but would like to expand on that a bit.
I need to do a DISTINCT query on a record's 'name' column, but i need all of the values for each of those returned records. So, I need the query to only apply the DISTINCT command to the 'name' column, not the other columns of the received records.
Can someone explain a bit how to word this
Many thanks in advance.
EDIT: Upon reflection, I realize now that this request is counter to the way DISTINCT works. D'oh. Move along, nothing to see here. :(
