I am trying to get count on a varchar field, but it is not giving me distinct count. How can I do that? This is what I have....

I have a database with a zip code column. I want to flag all rows that have letters in that column (a-z). How could I construct the where clause?
Is there a better alternative to:
WHERE ZipCode LIKE '%a%' OR ZipCode LIKE '%b%' ...
I have a DB with the fields: Id, Date, Name, Status.
Now I want to select all distinct names with the most recent corresponding status.
With the SELECT DISTINCT Name, I get only one record per different name which is ok.
Now I want to add next to each different name, the most recent added status.
Can I combine those 2 in 1 query? I want to show them using PHP on a website.
Now I get a table with a row for each different name, but I can't add a second column where the most recent Status is showed for that name.
In my employee table has the following fields empid, empFname, empLname, email, city
Say it has data like follows:
1, Lucy, Sam, l@some.com, city1
2. Sam, Wite, l@some.com, city2
3. Laura, Mac, l@some.com, city2
4. Stacy, Soo, s@no.com , city1
So in my case I want to show all the column but I want to eliminate multiple email addresses. I tried Distinct but its not workin because here every column is not distinct. So what should I use?
In my case I only want to show empID 1, 3, 4. I want to show all the columns
My DB contains company names repeating themselves several times (in the same column).
Can I create a new table that shows only the distinct names, and use it to work with the data?
My intention is to allow my users to choose only from the options within the DB (mimic in a way the list validation option in excel)

hi all,
sometimes, when tables are poorly joined, we have exactly same rows as a result.. so we use distinct.. but how can we count(*) the distinct rows?
select distinct d.docrefid from tbljobDocuments d
left join tbljobitems j on j.docrefid=d.docrefid
where d.docrefid='DC01C06027' and j.itemid='39J1667-H86700'
will return me
docrefid
DC01C06027
but when i try to count(*) only the distinct record, it count all..
select distinct d.docrefid, count(*) from tbljobDocuments d
left join tbljobitems j on j.docrefid=d.docrefid
where d.docrefid='DC01C06027' and j.itemid='39J1667-H86700'
group by d.docrefid
will return me
DocrefId Count
DC01C060272
when i expect
DocrefId Count

Hi
I have a table which stores the shift information for employees. The table contains 10 columns as Employeename,Employeeno,month,year,shifttimings etc. If an employee works a day in a particular shift, then a row will be inserted in to the above table for that employee.
Now at the end of the month i wanted to calculate the shift details for each employee for a particular month of a given year like employeename,employeeno, noofdays(countof shiftdays).
Can some body help?
Thanks in Advance!

I have an SQL statement that looks like the following:
SELECT [Docs-Entities].entityID, entityName, COUNT([Docs-DocsEntities].filename) AS numDocs
FROM [Docs-Entities] LEFT JOIN [Docs-DocsEntities]
ON [Docs-Entities].entityID = [Docs-DocsEntities].entityID
GROUP BY [Docs-Entities].entityID, entityName
but the problem is that numDocs (the COUNT) is not returning a distinct count. In the DocEntities table, a particular document can actually have multiple entries with the same entityID so that produces inflated numbers for numDocs. But when I do a SELECT DISTINCT on a particular entityID, the results are less and don't match the numDocs number because I only need to list the document one time. This is not a huge issue, but it looks bad on my site.
Is there a way that I can make COUNT count distinctly?
Thanks for the help and I hope I worded that cllearly...

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I want a count of distinct rows in a table through a single query -- is it possible?
eg.
table-
create table ch1 (a int, b int, c int, d int)
insert ch1 values (1,1,1,1)
insert ch1 values (2,2,2,2)
insert ch1 values (1,1,1,1)
insert ch1 values (2,2,2,2)
insert ch1 values (1,3,4,5)
Here distinct row count in a table is 3 which I want to achieve thro a query.
if I do
select count(distinct a) from ch1 it works fine and gives me output as 2.
but this is not working
select count(distinct a,b,c,d) from ch1 - any workaround to find the distinct row count in a table??
Please reply.
Cheers!

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
View 2 Replies View Relatedhello,
i have a working stored procedure SELECT CommentID, UserName, PictureID, DateCommented, COUNT(CommentID) OVER (PARTITION BY PictureID) AS 'NrOfComments'
FROM Comments WHERE PictureID = @PictureID
witch returns among others the number of comments for a picture
i need to select the number of distinct users who commented that user too, so i added this at SELECT statement, COUNT(DISTINCT UserName) AS 'Expr1'
i get that error:
"Colum 'Comments.CommentID' is invalig in the select list beacuse it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause."
what should i do, to select the number of distinct users who commented on a specific picture?
here are the table rows, if you need that
CommentID --- UserName --- PictureID --- DateCommented
please help me, thank you
It doesn't seem possibly, but maybe?
Is there a way to have an expression be used, but also benefit from using distinct on a column?
I'm looking for something like:
sum(case when dtEntered > '1-1-2006' then 1 else 0 end)
but also encorporating somehow a distinct count on UserName. So a username showing twice would only count once, and this would only be counted if the record's dtEntered date was greater than Jan 1, 2006.
The reason I'm writing the statement that way is because there are 5 columns which aggregate data by different time periods.
If it's not possible, I will just end up joining to the table multiple times, putting the date filter in the where clause.
I am trying to get the below query to work and can't seem to get past this error. Not sure but everywhere I look I think my syntax is right. I am probably missing something obvious but I'm just back from vacation and trying to get in the swing of things. Any help would be appreciated.

I've tried variations on a SELECT statement like below but have been unable to find a way to count only those types per fileNo that have all partNo completed (and to count all types per fileNo with a partNo of 0 and a completed date as they have no parts):
SELECT [FileNo], COUNT(DISTINCT [Type]) AS CountOfAPs

WHERE (completed IS NOT NULL)
GROUP BY [File]
Total count should be: 4

I learned that you can use GROUP BY ALL and it works but the "ALL" is deprecated beyond SQL 2005.

Here is my dataset used by my report definition. The combo of barcode and order id is unique. The 'isDiscountedItem' field indicates if the customer used a coupon to purchased an item at a lower price.
departmentId classId barcode orderId isDiscountedItem

2 7 456 3 False

Barcode 123 2
Barcode 789 1

We have a table of students with fields for the ID of the school district and their school name. For example:
DistrictID
StudentName
SchoolName
10001
John Smith
Washington Elementary
10001
Jane Smith
Lincoln Middle
10002
David White
Hill High
...
...
...
I want is a listing with the school district ID, the student name, and the number of schools in the district.
I believe the following statement should give me what I want:
SELECT DistrictID, StudentName, COUNT(DISTINCT SchoolName) OVER (PARTITION BY DistrictID)
FROM StudentData
However, I get the error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'distinct'.
If I take out the DISTINCT it runs fine, however it counts all the rows as expected, which is not what I want.
If I remove the OVER clause it runs fine, however, it counds the schools across all the districts, which is not what I want.
I can remove the OVER clause and use GROUP BY, but not while also retrieving StudentName.
The SQL 2005 Online Books don't seem to indicate that my statement is invalid. Here are the links just for reference:
Count: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175997.aspx

Anyone have an idea one what I'm doing wrong or how to go about getting this information?
