I have a code that gives me the sample I am looking for, but only displays one field.
NuminHH is my field
7320EN_Var is my Table
Proof is the new table I want to create.
SELECT DISTINCT [NuminHH] INTO Proof
from 7320EN_Var
I was curious...Is there a way to select distinct on a combination of some fields andthe for each record returned also get the other fields of anarbitrarily chosen record matching the fields in the distinct record.For example, if I have a select distinct on say three fields:SELECT DISTINCT Code1, Code2, Code3but the table also has other fields, maybe Foo1 and Foo2, and I wantFoo1 and Foo2 to also be displayed. Since there may be multiplerecords that match a particular Code1, Code2, Code3, then I just wantone of those to be arbitrarily chosen.

Any sugestions on which is better to use if I need to select a record that has the highest value - could be a INT or sometimes a DATETIME.
Hi, I have the following script segment which is failing:
CREATE TABLE #LatLong (Latitude DECIMAL, Longitude DECIMAL, PRIMARY KEY (Latitude, Longitude))
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.
Any ideas?
My table contains customer records with multiple records per customer. As a result of a query, I´m only interested in one record per customer with the highest value of a certain field in the record.
I thought of using DISTINCT, but can I use DISTINCT on a subset of all fields? Or sort the table in a certain way that the query result only shows the first unique records for a customer.
Other ideas are welcome to.
How can I use a Distinct or Group by statement on 1 field when calling All or at least several ones.
Example:
SELECT id_product, description_fr, DiffMAtrice, id_mark, id_type, NbDiffMatrice, nom_fr, nouveaute
From C_Product_Tempo
And I want Distinct or Group By nom_fr
Hi
I am trying to write a query that will return a full record with a particular distinct field (the rest of the record being the first such record that includes the distinct field).
For example, for the following:
Fruit Like? Colour
Apple Y Green
Orange N Orange
Banana Y Yellow
Grape Y Green
Grapefruit N Yellow
I would want to return (assuming Colour was the distinct field):
Fruit Like? Colour
Apple Y Green
Orange N Orange
Banana Y Yellow
How do I do this? I've tried using a join (of all different kinds) with a subquery that uses SELECT DISTINCT but this doesn't seem to work. I've tried GROUP BY but none of the aggregate functions seem to just take the first found field.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Hi all,
I am using C# for ASP.NEt 2003.
I would like to know if there is any easy method to update a database with about 100 fields in it.
At present, I pass all the values of the controls on the web form to the stored procedure as parameters like :-
myCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = txtCustomerID.text
Like this, I add all 100 parameters.
Is there any easy method to do it using a class or any other methods?
Thanking you in advance,

HiSQL Server 7.0 using stored procedures.I need to do a SELECT Top but I always need to find the record countfor the entire SELECT statement.ID Name-- ----1 Abraham20 Barrington32 Callaway54 Dennis58 EmmettIf I do a SELECT TOP 3, I'll get the required records but get arecordcount of 3.I cant use the ROWCOUNT method either becuase the recordcount willalso be 3.I can see two different options for getting back the information Ineed:1 - Run the select statement twice, first to retrieve the recordcountand then with top to get the recordset2 - Use a temp table to get the entire recordset and recordcount, andthen extract the Top N recordsI'd like to know if anyone has any other suggestions. Currently, I'mtempted to go for the second option....ThanksSam

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
I'm just curious if there is a prefered method when it comes to SELECT statements that include multiple tables. I have two versions:
SELECT FirstName, LastName, ProductName, SalePrice
FROM SALES, PRODUCTS, CUSTOMERS
WHERE MONTH(SaleDate) = '2'
AND YEAR(SaleDate) = '2005'
AND SALES.ProductID = PRODUCTS.ProductID
AND SALES.CustomerID = CUSTOMERS.CustomerID;
SELECT FirstName, LastName, ProductName, SalePrice
FROM CUSTOMERS
INNER JOIN SALES ON CUSTOMERS.CustomerID = SALES.CustomerID
INNER JOIN PRODUCTS ON PRODUCTS.ProductID = SALES.ProductID
WHERE MONTH(SaleDate) = '2'
AND YEAR(SaleDate) = '2005';
Could you tell me if either of these methods are favored over the other or if there is another way of producing the same output that is used over both these methods.
Thank you in advance

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.

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

Just a question
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 €śmistake€? happen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
