I have a function that is designed to return a variable that contains
concatenated values from a partinular field in the returned rows:
DECLARE @output varchar(8000)
SELECT
@output =
CASE
WHEN @output IS NULL THEN CAST(TSD.ScheduledTime AS
varchar(4))
ELSE @output+ ', '+ ISNULL(CAST(TSD.ScheduledTime AS
varchar(4)),'')
END
FROM TSD
WHERE ClientGUID = 2000001447020001 AND
ParentGUID = 6000006684068001
Select @output
The variable returned with this code contains:
"1200, 1400, 1200, 1400"
I want to only get the unique values so that the variable returns "1200,
1400". Seems simple enough just to add DISTINCT to the SELECT statement.
However, what is returned is simply "1400".
I cannot figure out why that is the case. Is there any explanation to this
result?
Side note: I can work around this by using a cursor but I would like to
know why DISTINCT does not work.
Many thanks in advance for any help that can be provided!
an example for the pb 1)First i have created a dynamic cursor :
DECLARE authors_cursor CURSOR DYNAMIC FOR Select DISTINCT LOCATION_EN AS "0Location" from am_location WHERE LOCATION_ID = 7 OPEN authors_cursor FETCH first FROM authors_cursor
2)The result for this cursor is for expamle 'USA'.
3) If now i do an update on that location with a new value 'USA1'
update am_location set location_en = 'USA1' WHERE LOCATION_ID = 7
4)now if i fetch the cursor , i''ll get the old value (USA) not (USA1).
If i remove DISTINCT from the cursor declaration , the process works fine .
An example for my pb 1) Created a dynamic cursor : DECLARE cursor_teste CURSOR DYNAMIC FOR Select DISTINCT name from table WHERE ID = 1 OPEN cursor_teste FETCH first FROM cursor_teste 2)The result for this cursor is for example 'teste'. 3) If now i do an update on that name with a new value 'teste1' than if i fetch the cursor , i''ll get the old value (teste) .
any idea how to make a select distinct result in a dynamic Cursor?
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.
/* Test table */ create table test (c1 char(1), c2 varchar(1)); insert into test values ('','');
/* Query */ select c1, len(c1) len_c1, c2, len(c2) len_c2 from test
The result of the len(c1) expression is 0. I would expect the correct result to be 1, since "c1" is a fixed-length character string type and the values are right-padded with spaces to fit the defined length, in this case 1.
Hi all, I faced a problem, I have two tables - part and partmaster part : part_no, part_qty (no key) partmaster : part_no, part_description (primary key : part_no )
I want to select table part.* and partmaster.part_description.
(run on mssql 2k) select a.*, b.part_description from part a, partmaster b where a.part_no *= b.part_no
I want to and expect to have the result order like table "part". However, after the join, the order is different. I try to run it on mssql 7.0, the order is ok.
Then I modify and run the statement select a.* from part a, partmaster b where a.part_no *= b.part_no on 2k again. The result order is ok.
can anyone tell me the reason?
Now I try to fix this problem is adding a sequence field "part_seq" into table "part" and run the statement by adding a order by part_seq. It does work!
I created a view which gave me the TOP1000 Companies we do consulting work for.
It includes their name, rank, year, companyID. I wanted to then link this view to the address table. I was able to do this, but because one company might have multiple addresses my result set was large when I started out by just adding city to my view. How can I take my result set and just choose the first DISTINCT value in the result set? Here's an example of the result set:
Name                   Rank          Year      CompanyID          City
Bill's Fish                22         2015        779            Sunrise Bill's Fish                22         2015        779            Billings
I have an Execute SQL Task that executes "select count(*) as Row_Count from xyztable" from an Oracle Server. I'm trying to assign the result to a variable. However when I try to execute I get an error: [Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "RowCount": "Unsupported data type on result set binding Row_Count.".
Which data type should I use for the variable, RowCount? I've tried Int16, Int32, Int64.
When I run simple select against my view in Query Analyzer, I get result set in one sort order. The sort order differs, when I BCP the same view. Using third technique i.e. Select Into, I have observed the sort order is again different in the resulting table. My question is what is the difference in mechanisim of query analyzer, bcp, and select into. Thanks
Hello, I have the following query.

I am getting the following error message: [-E-19:42] Message: SELECT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL, ANSI_WARNINGS, ANSI_PADDING'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or query notifications and/or xml data type methods.
I am using the following set options before the sp is created:
SET ARITHABORT ON
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON
SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF
I looked on the internet and most of solutions were related to indexed views or computed columns. But I am neither using any indexed views nor computed columns. Also the same sp is working fine in one environment but giving the above error in another SQL server. I am using SQL Server 2005 with SP1.
Please help me in finding the cause & the resolution for this issue.

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 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.

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
