Any help? Or questions to explain it better?
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.

Is their a way to select all items from a table that are not distinct? Meaning, I want to know which items in a column occur more than once. Example: Suppose we have a table with student names, ss# and address. I want to display only records where their is more than one studen with the same name. So for example their could be ten people with the name of "Mike" in a class?

Hi! I have 4 tables and they have a common column (eg. regionid). These 4 tables have data overlapping with the others. Some data exist in a table but not on the others. What I want to do is to do a select that will display all distinct regionid from these tables. It should be total of all the tables but will suppress any duplicates with the others.
Note that UNION is working but I can't use that. Why ? because UNION is not supported or maybe not working properly with RDB database. I'm doing an appliaction for heterogenous datasource.
Any tips, hints or info will be appreciated. thanks in advance.
SELECT DISTINCT tb2.column20 tb2.column20, tb1.column10, tb2.column21, tb2.column22, tb3.column30 FROM table1 tb1, table2 tb2, table3 tb3 WHERE tb1.column11 = 'P' AND tb2.column23 = 'P' AND tb1.column12 = tb2.column24 AND tb2.column25 = tb3.column31 ORDER BY tb2.column20
Its supposed to return only the distinct entries in tb2.column20
Can you have "Select Distinct" in Union Query,because that is what I am trying to do and this is the error message I get.
"The text, ntext, or image data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT."
I would need to do that because i have duplicate records,because these records are getting written into the db when templates are generated and sometimes if they double click it generates two and writes that many results as well, so that is why I was thinking that select distinct would solve my problem.
Thanks for your help

I need some help getting unique records from a query, I have a large amount of nested selects and i want to only display distinct records, I have a unique identifier (party ID) but the code was written by someone else (who is on holiday!) and i need to work out where to insert the disctinct select (if at all? - open to a better way?) this query should pull back records and then the results are pasted in to excel, however would a DTS solve the issue with duplicates??

I have a select query Select distinct a,b,c,d from xyz I would like to know what the syntax is if I want only a,b,c to be distinct and not d. I tried something like Select (distinct a,b,c),d but getting error what is the correct query to do this. Please help.
I don't know what the correct syntax is to do what I want with the DISTINCTfunction (if it's actually possible).I have a query which displays a variety of fields from a variety of tables(pretty standard).However, I only want to show records where the contents of one particularcolumn in the query are unique - I do not want to perform the function onthe entire record because other fields in the records may be duplicated foras reason.
I have a query that selects profile data for members, if I don€™t do a select distinct it gives me a lot of correct values, (unique values) of members i.e. only one record per member, but every now and then I get duplicate values for one member, multiple times.
Why does this occure?
I know SELECT DISTINCT is there to remove duplicates, but without SELECT DISTINCT why would this €œmistake€? happen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I.e.
2 | 3 | John | Slack | Philips |5 1 | 2 | Jason | Limrick | Jones | 3 1 | 2 | Jason | Limrick | Jones | 3 1 | 2 | Jason | Limrick | Jones | 3 1 | 2 | Jason | Limrick | Jones | 3 1 | 2 | Jason | Limrick | Jones | 3 2 | 3 | Jane | John | Parker |4
Why would it create duplicate records if the values are the same?
select distinct ISNULL (a.account,'') as "Account", ISNULL (c.address1,'') as "Address", ISNULL (c.city,'') as "City", ISNULL (c.state,'') as "State", ISNULL (c.postalcode,'') as "Zip Code", ISNULL (a.mainphone,'') as "Phone", a.userfield1 as "GID", s.division from sysdba.account as a join sysdba.address as c on a.addressid = c.addressid join sysdba.staff as s on a.accountid = s.accountid where a.type like '%client%' and a.userfield1 is not null and (s.division like '%HR%' or s.division like '%db%') and s.type = 'client'
So what happens now is that if an account is listed in two division I get two distinct rows returned, but each with the same GID column. When I try to push this to a new database that has GID as the primary key I get duplicate on that column and it errors out.
I need to be able to get only a single row if the division is both HR and db. how to tackle this problem.

I may be new at this but I can't find any explanation why SELECT DISTINCT(Stno), Grade shows distinct occurrences for each Stno-Grade combination rather than just distinct occurences of Stno. What is the solution?
Newbie question SELECT DISTINCT F1, F2, F3, F4 FROM 'table name' returns distinct rows for whole table. Is there a way to just return distinct rows from say column F1 instead of all the fields. I suppose i could just do SELECT DISTINCT F1, but also would like to display other fields. Thanks in advance
Is there a way to do a Select Distinct on a single column in a result set? Example: Select Distinct(PersonID) PersonID, FirstName, LastName From People
Hello, I have the following tables: declare @B table (Bid int identity, description varchar(50)) declare @P table (Pid int identity, Bid int, description varchar(50)) declare @T table (Tid int identity, description varchar(50)) declare @TinP table (TinPid int identity, Tid int, Pid int) insert into @B (description) select 'B1' insert into @B (description) select 'B2' insert into @P (description, Bid) select 'P1', 1 insert into @P (description, Bid) select 'P2', 1 insert into @P (description, Bid) select 'P3', 2 insert into @T (description) select 'T1' insert into @T (description) select 'T2' insert into @T (description) select 'T3' insert into @TinP (Tid, Pid) select 1, 2 insert into @TinP (Tid, Pid) select 2, 2 insert into @TinP (Tid, Pid) select 3, 3 select * from @B select * from @P select * from @T select * from @TinP I need to get all records in T (Tid and description) which are related to a given BId So for @Bi = 1 I would get: Tid Description 1 T1 2 T2 So I need the distinct values. How to solve this? Thanks, Miguel
Hi I have a query which returns some rows.. what happens if i use a select distinct instead of a select.. this is my sproc DECLARE @Counter TABLE( PlanId int, FundId int, ClientFundName varchar(110), DisplayOrder int IDENTITY(1,1), IsDefault bit, IsPortfolioFundOnly bit ) INSERT INTO @Counter ( PlanId, FundId, ClientFundName, IsDefault, IsPortfolioFundOnly ) SELECT 5923, f.FundId, d.FundName, CASE WHEN d.FundDefault IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END, CASE WHEN Lower(p.FundType) = 'modfundonly' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END FROM PlanDetail d INNER JOIN Statements..Fund f ON d.CUSIP = f.CUSIP OR d.Ticker = f.Ticker OR d.Ticker = f.ClientFundId OR d.CUSIP = f.ClientFundId -- Do an internal join on the PlanDetail table to get the value of the FundType to derive whether --fund can only be chosen as part of a portfolio. LEFT JOIN PlanDetail p ON d.FundName = p.FundName AND d.PortfolioName = p.PortfolioName WHERE d.PlanNumber IS NOT NULL AND p.PortFundPercent IS NULL GROUP BY f.FundId, d.FundName, d.FundDefault, --d.PlanNumber, --d.Cusip, -- d.Ticker, --d.RowNumber, p.FundType
I'm having a little bit of trouble trying to figure out how to do this query, right now I have:
SELECT I.AppItemId, P.ProductID, P.PartNum, P.Relist, I.AppUserId FROM ProductsToRelist I join Products P on P.ProductID = I.AppSKU WHERE P.Relist = 1 and I.AppStatus = 5 and Not I.AppItemId is Null
ProductID is the primary key for the Products table, and a product can be in the ProductsToRelist table many times but each row would have a unique AppItemId. I know that I need to use Distinct or a different kind of join, but I'm not sure which. How would you suggest to do this?
Hey there, is there a way I can use command such as distinct in a select statement to do the following. Lets say I want to do a search of products based off their location and I want to list the companies that will have products in that area. I only want to list the company once, but if I’m searching by products in the area I might come up with 15 results for that company. I have not written the code yet for this, I’m just planning ahead.
I’m programming using VB so I guess I would do something like this.
State = Trim(Request.QueryString("State"))
SelectStatement = "Select * From Products Where State='" & _ State & "'"
This would of course give me hypothetically speaking a list as long as the amount of products in one given area. Is there a way to cut this down and only list the company once? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
hi all, i wanna ask a question regarding select distinct statement..... this is my sql query : select distinct [name] from merchantcategory how can i get the other attribute from the result of the query ??? is this possible ? thanks
I have the following tablecolumns: [col1], [col2],[col3] and [NAME].I want to select the name column for each row where [col1]='07'.The problem is that there are several rows where [col1] contains '07' and also the name is the same. [col2] and [col3] contain different data for these double rows...however, I cant use the [col1] and [col2] values in my query because I dont know what values they contain beforehand.So now, when I execute my query and add the DISTINCT key I still get all the double rows!I hope this explains my problem, help is really appreciated...ow, btw: deleting the double rows is not an option....
I have been trying to run a query using select distinct(column_name) on a column that is an nvarchar but the query still gives me all of the items including duplicates. I have removing any trailing spaces and still no good. Any ideas would be appreciated.
DECLARE @SendTo VarChar(4000) SET @SendTo = '' SELECT DISTINCT @SendTo = @SendTo + UserEmail + ';' FROM dbo.tbl_AccountInfo WHERE (UserEmail <> '') PRINT @SendTo
The purpose of this code is to build up a ; seperated string of email adresses that I can use sending mail from SQL server.
It works but it only give me one record (should give me 130 records) , but if I remove the DISTINCT part it give me all records, duplicates too. Does anyone know why and how can I get this to work? Or maybe do it in another way?
That's about it (subject line), I have used UNION and now I want to select DISCTINCT from that resultset Code:
SELECT c1 FROM t1 UNION SELECT c2 FROM t2
That code gives me half of what I want. I would like a list of the unique results. I know I could use a TempTable and do the DISTINCT on that, but I'm hoping there is a more elegant way.
EDIT: The following code gives me the result I want: Code:
table1 member_name legacy_id team_name ----------------------------------------- Bill 1234 nationals Bill 1234 nationals Tom 3456 nationals Tom 3456 orioles
I wish I could restructure the data or normalize it but this is unfortunately what I have to deal with.
I need a query that returns the team name and the number of times it appears in the table excluding duplicates for each person. I have duplicates all over the place in this tables. Bill could have nationals listed a couple hundred times.
My query should return
team_name count ----------------- nationals 2 - because it occurs for bill, and tom orioles 1 - because it occurs for tom
If I do something like:
select distinct(team_name), count(team_name) from table1 group by team_name
I get back:
team_name count ------------------- nationals 3 - because it occurs for bill twice, and tom once orioles 1 - because it occurs for tom once
I've tried something like:
select team_name, count(team_name) from table1 where legacy_id in ( select distinct legacy_id from table1 )
I get a syntax error. Regardless, I'm not sure this will give me what I need.
I've tried over a dozen variations of select distinct, joins, etc but with no luck.
Any of you sql gurus know how to solve this problem? I've been banging my head against it for a couple days and boy does my head hurt.
