I want to remove duplicate records from my table based on nic number. I try to put primray key constraint. But there are many many duplicates so cannot do it can I have a query to remove duplicates..
I am a newb at ms sql and was hoping someone could help me eliminate duplicate PRODUCT.PRODUCT from this statement. I have tried using DISTINCT with the same results.The ProductImage table is causing this because the duplicates are from the PRODUCT.PRODUCT that have more than 1 image.
If anyone could rewrite this statement so I can learn from this, it would be most appreciated!
I have a query that for one reason or another produces duplicate information in the result set. I have tried using DISTINCT and GROUP BY to remove the duplicates but because of the nature of the data I cannot get this to work, here is an example fo the data I am working with
ID Name Add1 Add2 1 Matt 16 Nowhere St Glasgow 1 Matt 16 Nowhere St Glasgow, Scotland 2 Jim 23 Blue St G65 TX 3 Bill 45 Red St 3 Bill 45 red St London
The problem is that a user can have one or more addresses!! I would like to be able to remove the duplicates by keeping the first duplicate ID that appears and getting rid of the second one. Any ideas?
EDITION PRODUCT INSERTDATE ---------- ------------ ---------------------- CNE TN-Town News 12/19/2007 12:00:00 AM TN TN-Town News 12/19/2007 12:00:00 AM
What i have to do is if there are multiple records for one product in any day, then i need to remove all those records. In this case i am getting two records for the PRODUCT 'TN-Town News' and for INSERTDATE = 12/19/2007 . So i need to remove these two records from the table.
Below is a raw data with SQL script to create the temp table. This table is a scale down version of what I am working with. I am taking the addresses from several different sources and putting them in a temp table. Now, I need to remove the duplicate addresses for each ID. Duplicate addresses are okay for different IDs.

I've got the following table data:116525.99116520.14129965.03129960.12129967.00And I need to write a query to return only rows 2 and 4, since theremaining rows have duplicate IDs. I've tried the Group By, but amhaving no luck.Thanks!
I have a table containing over 100,000 email addresses. This email table gets duplicates in it, and our customers don't want a second (or third or fourth) copy of our news letter. To prevent this, we run the following SQL to kill the duplicates:
Code Snippet
DELETE FROM _email WHERE _email.eid IN ( SELECT tbl1.eid FROM _email AS tbl1 WHERE Exists ( SELECT emailaddress, Count(eid) FROM _email WHERE _email.emailaddress = tbl1.emailaddress GROUP BY _email.emailaddress HAVING Count(_email.eid) > 1 ) ) AND _email.eid NOT IN ( SELECT Min(eid) FROM _email AS tbl1 WHERE Exists ( SELECT emailaddress, Count(eid) FROM _email WHERE _email.emailaddress = tbl1.emailaddress GROUP BY _email.emailaddress HAVING Count(_email.eid) > 1 ) GROUP BY emailaddress ); This query takes about 2hrs to run which is really hurting our server preformance. Is there any way to do this faster?
I have a CSV file which contains some duplicate record and i have to load this file in SQL server database using SSIS package .
What i have to do is read the file and if the same record entry is occur more than 10 times for a particular unique combination ( like ID , Date , Time ) then i need to take only one record for that occurance.
I am working SQL Server 2005 and One Table Which contain only one column without primary keyNow I want to remove all duplicate value from that table with only single query
I have a table with one column, and i want to remove those records from the table which are duplicate i meant if i have a records rakesh in table two time then one records should be remove... my tables is like that
I found some duplicate data as I was going thru the logic of a data pump. The entire row is not duplicated however.I would like to delete only the one row.
This is a sample of the data: DECLARE @SomeData TABLE ( FirstName varchar(25) , MiddleName varchar(25) , LastName varchar(25) , StreetAddress varchar(25) , Suite varchar(25) , City varchar(25) , [State] varchar(25) , PostalCode varchar(10)
[code]...
As you can see, Joe Smith has two rows, but only one of the rows is complete. I would like to delete only the row that has a NULL value in the phone and area code for Joe Smith. There are a few thousand rows that are like this. They have duplicates all but the area code and phone number.I am used to using a CTE to remove duplicates, but I am a little lost on this one. The things that I have tried, have not worked exactly as I planned.
I have a database being populated by hits to a program on a server.The problem is each client connection may require a few hits in a 1-2second time frame. This is resulting in multiple database entries -all exactly the same, except the event_id field, which isauto-numbered.I need a way to query the record w/out duplicates. That is, anyrecords exactly the same except event_id should only return one record.Is this possible??Thank you,Barry
There's some SQL below (T-SQL) & I'm wanting to have this result set grouped by Venue_ID in order to remove rows where there are duplicate values contained in just one column.
The columns BCOM_ID contain unique values, but Venue_ID can have duplicate values. I only want to get rows for one instance of the Venue_ID (per BCOM_ID) - doesn't matter which instance but basically, no duplicates.
Oh yes, one of the columns is a Bit column.
Any ideas would be welcome & appreciated!
Many thanks, Darren darren@darrenbrook.fsnet.co.uk

I have a table that "Geography" that has the following columns: city, state, zip
There are tons of duplicate cities in this table. I ran this query and it shows me the number of occurrences of each city. I want to delete all the duplicates except for 1. I don't want to do this manually as there are a lot of records.
What would the SQL look like to delete the duplicate records but keep at least one?
I have 4 tables (SqlServer2000/2005). In the select query, I have FULL JOINED all the four tables A,B,C,D as I want all the data. The result is as sorted by DDATE desc:- AID BID BNAME DDATE DAUTHOR 1 1 abcxyz 2008-01-20 23:42:21.610 c@d.com 1 1 abcxyz 2008-01-20 23:41:52.970 a@b.com 1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-21 00:17:14.360 c@d.com 1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-20 23:43:17.110 a@b.com 1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-20 23:42:43.937 a@b.com 1 2 xyzabc NULL NULL 2 3 pqrlmn NULL NULL 2 4 cdefgh NULL NULL Now, I want unique rows from the above result set like :- AID BID BNAME DDATE DAUTHOR 1 1 abcxyz 2008-01-20 23:42:21.610 c@d.com 1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-21 00:17:14.360 c@d.com 2 3 pqrlmn NULL NULL 2 4 cdefgh NULL NULL I want to remove the duplicate rows and show only the unique rows but contains all the data from the first table A. I have to bind this result set to a nested GridView.
I have a dataset in my report that pulls 10 fields. One of the tablixes on report should display only 8 of the 10 fields and this is causing the duplicate records to show up on the tablix.I tried hide duplicates option for the entire details row and have set the scope to "Details". It did not work. I am getting the data from a stored procedure and cannot do much on that.
I have a requirement where i want to delete the records based on the Date column. I have table which contain the columns like machinename ,lasthardwarescandate
I want to delete the records based on the max(Lasthardwarescandate) i.e. latest one, column where the machine name is duplicate menace it repeats. So how would i remove the duplicate machine names based on the Lasthardwarescandate column(There are multiple entries for the Lasthardwarescandate so i want to fetch the latest date column).
Note: Duplication should be removed based on “Last Hardware Scan” date.
Only latest date should be considered from multiple records for the same system. "
I have a results table that was created from many different sources in SSIS. I have done calculations and created derived columns in it. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to remove duplicate rows from this table without first writing it to a temp sql table and then parsing through it to remove them.
each row has a like key in a column - I would like to remove like rows keeping specific columns in the resulting row based on the data in this key field.
Hi, Please help me with an SQL Query that fetches all the records from the three tables but a unique record for each forum and topicid with the maximum lastpostdate. I have to bind the result to a GridView.Please provide separate solutions for SqlServer2000/2005. I have three tables namely – Forums,Topics and Threads in SQL Server2000 (scripts for table creation and insertion of test data given at the end). Now, I have formulated a query as below :- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC Whose result set is as below:-
forumid topicid name author lastpostdate NoOfThreads
5 17 General NULL NULL 0 On modifying the query to:- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate HAVING th.lastpostdate=(select max(lastpostdate)from threads where topicid=t.topicid) ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC I get the result set as below:-
forumid topicid name author lastpostdate NoOfThreads
5 17 General NULL NULL 0 I want all the rows from the Forums,Topics and Threads table and the row with the maximum date (the last post date of the thread) as shown above.

I have uninstalled the CTP version of the SQL Server express so that I can install the released version but CTP version is still listed in the add/remove program list but without the change/remove button. I have been to different sites to find information on cleaning this up and I have ran all the uninstall tool I can find but the problem still prevails. I cannot install the released version without completely getting rid of the CTP version. Please help anyone.
I am having a hard time removing my SQL instance inside the Add/Remove program. After i select the SQL Instance name and then I tried to remove it but it won't allow me to delete it. There isn't any error message or whatsoever. Actually, when i try to log it in my SQL Management studio, that certain sql instance name is not existing according to the message box. Is there any way to remove the Sql Instance in my system?
I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer.
When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12
There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 12
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I have duplicated this error with the following script:
USE [testing]
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users1]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users2]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users3]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database.
I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key.
I've begun to get the above error from my package. The error message refers to two output columns.
Anyone know how this could happen from within the Visual Studio 2005 UI? I've seen the other posts on this subject, and they all seemed to be creating the packages in code.
Is there any way to see all of the columns in the data flow? Or is there any other way to find out which columns it's referring to? Thanks!

Hi, I don't need sql express, never use it and I would like to remove it. Is it possible without loosing important functionalities in VWD? Is that true that cannot compile the applications (ctrl+f5) anymore?
