I have a table with four columns: id, value1, value2, and name. I need to select all duplicate rows with the same name in the name field. Once selected I need to average the value1 and value2 rows with each other. Then I would like to delete the duplicate rows and replace with the new averaged values. Should I first move the duplicate rows to a temp table and then average? Any help would be appreciated.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI get a tabseparated textfile with data every friday. Faulty rows are to be returned to the source.
Double rows are considered a fault. How do I select all double rows?
I join the data later on with four columns so if these columns are alike the rows are considered identical even if other columns are not. Ie:
A, B, C, D, 12, 34, 48, 76
A, B, C, D, 23, 45, 56, 99
These two rows are considered alike since I join on A+B+C+D.
I'd like to select ALL double rows and insert them into a separate table that I can return to the source. Does anyone have an idea how to do this?
Can someone look at this and tell me where I went wrong? I'm trying to return all duplicate rows that have the same lastName and Address. It returns rows but they don't look like dups.SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.tblClient.LastName, dbo.tblClientAddresses.Address
FROM dbo.tblClient INNER JOIN
dbo.tblClientAddresses ON dbo.tblClient.Client_ID = dbo.tblClientAddresses.Client_ID
GROUP BY dbo.tblClient.LastName, dbo.tblClientAddresses.Address
HAVING (COUNT(dbo.tblClientAddresses.Address) > 1)
ORDER BY dbo.tblClientAddresses.Address
Hi..,
There r plenty of duplicate rows in the legacy system(Unix /Cobol) from which the data has to be migrated to SQL Server 7.0 Using DTS.Could u please help me in finding out all the repeating rows so that my people could go through it manually and make it unique rows. I expect a query that can be executed to select the repeating rows in a staging/temp table that contain all the rows from legacy system. If u could sujest any other alternative u r most welcome...
Thanks in advance..
Dear all,
I havea table name HISTORY_MEASURE which is a collection of different measure value issue from different mesuring device.
Values inthis table is represented as follow :
Id Name Value
==============================
1 Diameter1 0.45
2 Diameter2 1.23
3 Temperature2 123
4 Temperature2 200
5 Diameter1 0.65
Out of this table what I need to do is calculate the average value for each same [Name]. As you can see from the sample set above, the Diameter1 has 2 entries value hich gets store at different time of course.
So I I take the example of Diameter1 I need to calculate and display in a field the average results.
The result would be
Name Average
=====================
Diameter1 .....
Diameter2 ....
Temperature2 ....
Temperature1 ....
How can I perform this ?
Or could it be better to get a view of the table above which gets display as follow :
Diameter1 Temperature2 Diameter2
0.45 123 1.23
0.65 200 0
Thanks fro your help

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

Hi,I'm am looking for a little help. I need to create a SQL view whichjoins a few tables, and I need to return an average for a particularcolumn where a second duplicate ID exists...Heres an example of how the results could be returned...ID | Name | Order No. | Value---+------+-----------+---------5 | test | 1234 | 35 | test2| 1234 | 45 | test3| 1234 | 35 | void | 1235 | 55 | void2| 1235 | 65 | void3| 1235 | 55 | void4| 1235 | 7ID is my main join which joins the tablesName is a unique nameOrder No is the same for the different names, I only need to return onerow with this order no, and the first name (the rest are irrelevant)Value is the field which I wish to return as an average of all 3, 4 orhowever many rows is returned and share the same order no. This iswhere I get totally lost as I am pretty new to SQL. Can anyone provideany help on how I would go about limiting this query to the uniqueorder no's and returning the average of the value field, and I can takeit from there with my own tables.Thanks for your helpstr8
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a SSRS report that needs to show average for both parent and child rows. In the example below i need to show an average of ErrorRecAge column for Company, then for cic_Group and one grand total/avg. How can this be done from single query (as below) and using SSRS built in functions/codes? I am also curious to know if this can be done from TSQL directly (ex. something similar to running sum/total). I appreciate the help.
Select
CustomerCorrection.Id As ParentId,

So I have this table called "listings"... there are 100 unique listings with an integer ID for each.
I have another table called "ratings"... in there are multiple entries that have a listing_id field and a rating field. The rating field is a value from 0-10.
I want to select ALL "listings" from the listings table... and then sort based on the average number that the multiple rating fields in the ratings table has for that listing.
I CAN NOT figure it out!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond if I have not explained this properly. Thanks in advance.
ID DATE(dd/mm/yy) TYPE QTYIN COST_IN_AMT COST_OUT_AMT(MOVING AVERAGE)
1 01/01/2007 PURCHASE 10 1000

6 03/01/2007 Sales -10 *TobeCalculate
7 01/01/2007 Purchase 20 12000
I have a table when user add new sales or puchase will be added to this table ITEM_TXNS. The above date is part of the table for a ProductID . (The field is removed here)
In order to calculate the balance amount using moving average, I must calculated the cost_out_amt first on the fly.
When user add new sales I also need to determine the cost/unit for a product id using moving average. The problem is I can not just use sum, because i need to determine cost_out_amt for each sales first which will be calculated on the fly.
The reason i dont store the cost_out_amt (instead calculate on the fly) because User could Edit the previous sales/purchase txn or Insert new sales for a previous date. Example THe record with ID 9. By Adding this txn with ID 9, would cause all the cost_out_amt will be incorrect (Using moving Average) if i store the cost_amout_out on entrying txn and need to be recalculated.
Instead I just want to calculate on the fly and able to determine the cost avr for a specific point of time.
Should I just use Cursor and loop all the record and calculate the cost or maybe I can just use on Select Statement?
I used the following select statement to get duplicate records on Case_number column
select cases.distinct case_link, cases.case_number
from cases
group by case_link
having case_number > 1
I got the error message that
"'cases.warrant_number' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
AND
cases.case_number' is invalid in the HAVING clause because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Any idea on a better statement to use. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

from Tab1 A, Tab2 B
where A.col1 = B.col1
group by A.col1 , b.col2
having count(A.Col1) > 1

Now - The problem -
I have to join this table to another table Tab2 to get the other details.
My Tab2 is a table from where I have to pull the Customer DEtails like name,address etc.
How should I write this query?
Any thinuhts?

Hi,
i wanna know, how can i check if i have duplicate rows in my table?
thanks
Hi. I'm a SQL Server newbie, very experienced with Access, developing an ASP.NET database editor web app. I query the database with a statement more or less in the following form:
SELECT organisation.OrgID, organisation.Name, organisation.whatever FROM services INNER JOIN servicegrouping ON services.serviceID=servicegrouping.serviceID INNER JOIN organisations ON servicegrouping.OrgID = organisations.OrgID WHERE services.service=x OR services.service=y
In other words, I have a database of organisations. The services offered by the organisations are in a separate table, and I only want to return organisations that offer services X or Y.
Okay, now if I did this in Access, this query would return just one record for each organisation that meets the condition, unless I was to include a field from the services table in the SELECT clause, in which case of course I would get one record for each organisation and unique service offered.
But in MS SQL, the query returns duplicate rows if there is more than service offered by the organisation that meets the WHERE condition (=x or =y). Why is this and what do I need to do to my SQL statement to ensure I only get unique rows?
Hi,
I've a query which gets a set of data from multiple tables -
select *
FROM A
inner JOIN q
ON (RIGHT(q.name,CHARINDEX('-',REVERSE(q.name))-1)= a.id)
inner JOIN t
ON (t.id = q.id)
inner JOIN s
ON (q.name = s.name )
inner join l
on (s.name = l.name
and t.name = l.name)
WHERE A.id = 764
and s.name = '764'
I get repeated # of rows for each id. I've some 136 rows for each q.id ( there are 6 q.ids and hence I get 816 rows instead of 136) These 136 rows are actually divided among thse q.ids as
id=5, 4 rows
id=6, 8 rows
id=7, 24 rows
id=8, 40 rows
id=10, 60 rows
total=136 rows
Let me know what I'm missing here
Thanks for your help!

Calculation of an average using DAX' AVERAGE and AVERAGEX.This is the manual calculation in DW, using SQL.In the tabular project (we're i've noticed that these 4 %'s are in itself strange), in a 1st moment i've noticed that i would have to divide by 100 to get the same values as in the DW, so i've used AVERAGEX:
Avg_AMP:=AVERAGEX('Fct Sales';'Fct Sales'[_AMP]/100)
Avg_AMPdollar:=AVERAGEX('Fct Sales';'Fct Sales'[_AMPdollar]/100)
Avg_FMP:=AVERAGEX('Fct Sales';'Fct Sales'[_FMP]/100)
Avg_FMPdollar:=AVERAGEX('Fct Sales';'Fct Sales'[_FMPdollar]/100)
The results were, respectively: 701,68; 2120,60...; -669,441; and finally **-694,74** for Avg_FMPdollar.i can't understand the difference to SQL calculation, since calculations are similar to the other ones. After that i've tried:
test:=SUM([_FMPdollar])/countrows('Fct Sales') AND the value was EQUAL to SQL: -672,17
test2:=AVERAGE('Fct Sales'[_Frontend Margin Percent ACY]), and here, without dividing by 100 in the end, -696,74...
So, AVERAGE and AVERAGEX have a diferent behaviour from the SUM divided by COUNTROWS, and even more strange, test2 doesn't need the division by 100 to be similar to AVERAGEX result.
I even calculated the number of blanks and number of zeros on each column, could it be a difference on the denominator (so, a division by a diferente number of rows), but they are equal on each row.
Hello,
I have a question, what does a statement look like that finds the duplicate rows and combines them,
I have a table named PRODUCTS in it 3 columbs Cost, Stock, Part_number.
I need to find all Part_numbers that dublicate, Combine the rows into 1 & combine (sum, add) their stock together is the new row & take an avarerage of their cost and use it as cost in the new row where they combine.
Please help me, I am stalled. Looked all over the internet & could not find anything, I really need this for a project I can not finish.
I have the following SQL statement:
SELECT part_number,
COUNT(part_number) AS NumOccurrences
FROM Products
GROUP BY Part_number
HAVING COUNT(part_number) > 1
I have a csv file that I need to import daily into a SQL Server 2005 table. Much of the table contents could just be overwritten with the new csv file, however there are a set of Rows within the table that need to be appended to , rather than overwritten.
There is no Primary Key in the csv file that can be used.
I'm not sure this is the best approach, but what I have been trying to do, is append the entire csv file to the existing table, and then go back and delete the duplicates.
When I run the Delete, it does delete the majority of the records, but leaves a couple hundred behind. The number left behind varies with each run, can't seem to identify a pattern here. Running the Delete a second time does clean up the rows left behind in the first execution of the Delete, and gives the result I want.
Any thoughts as to why this needs to be run twice? Or is a better approach available?
Here is my code -

How do you delete duplicate rows in a table so only one row is left in the table, using T-SQL.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am encountering a problem. There are lots of duplicate rows in the cobol flat files (due to improper data entry and missing columns values )from where I am transforming data to sql 7. 0 tables using DTS. After transformation , can I some how mark the duplicate rows ? it is not for the purpose of eliminating them, but to enter the missing values and make all the rows complete and unique.
I have the transformed table as a temporary table. Can I add a column like 'status' etc.. and have the column values marked '1' for the repeating rows etc....
Can anyone suggest 'any' possible way of implementing it ?
Thanx

I have problem in deleting duplicate rows. I have a identity column in my table, if I try to use correlatted sub query with Delete command it gives error.
The other problem I have is I have a date column in my table and update that column with current date and time. If use a query to fetch a records on a particular day , it does not return any rows
select * from rates where ch_date >='02/11/99' and ch_date<='02/11/99'
If I use convert also there is some other problems. Is there any way to force date checkings to be done excluding time.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a table (mytable) with the following structure
docs int
field1 varchar(20)
......
the information in the table may look like this
docs field1
1 hello
2 hello
3 test
4 test
5 problem
6 problem
The docs column autoincrements and their is a unique constraint on it. The field1 column does not have any constraints on it.
how does on delete the duplicates without deleting both.
I can write a SQL statement to tell me what docs are dups, and what the field1 values are, but I cannot just delete one
Do I write a cursor? or is there an sql statement that would delete just one?
thanks

This is an imaginary problem while discussing ROWID in ORACLE.
Consider a table without primary key, unique key, uniuqe index.
A row has inserted into the table many times.
I want to delete all but one dulicated rows. With any 'where' clause all rows(duplicated)
will be deleted. In ORACLE i can achieve this using ROWID as follows:
Delete from Table_name
where < all column values >
and ROWID <> ( Select max(rowid) from Table_name where < all column values > )
How can this be achieved in MS SQL Server 6.5 ?
According to Dr. Codd's Golden rules for RDBMS one is that
One should be able to reach each data value in the database by using
table name, row idenfication value and column name.
Does MS SQL Server 6.5 satisfy this requirement ?
Also How many of Dr. Codd's 13 Golden Rules for RDBMS does MS SQL Server 6.5
Satisfy? Which doesn't ?
Any discussion about Codd's Rules is welcome.

Hi everyone, I'm migrating some information for a client at the moment. They had everything in Excel files and I'm getting them into SQL Server. There are some differences in the way I am storing data and the way they were storing data.
For each client they stored, they had something like
Rel1 Rel2 Rel3
100 101 102
Now, what I have is a seperate row for each of Rel1, Rel2 and Rel3 so I would have 3 seperate rows with identical information except for Rel1. So I would have:
Rel1
100
101
102
So one way I thought of doing it was inserting a new row specifying that the value for Rel2 should be stored in Rel1 and for the next row that the value for Rel3 should be stored in Rel1.
Now, I am able to do this but SQL Server inserts an extra row will the NULL value in Rel1. Does anyone know why this would be happening? I think what it is doing is finding a NULL value in Rel3 after creating the two extra rows and is inserting that NULL. So I think I need to check for NULLs and not allow it to create a new row if, say, Rel3 is NULL.
Any pointers are gladly welcome. (I know it's complicated )
Hello I am fairly new to SQL and having spent much time over the manual I decided to ask for help. So here's my deal.
I've got a query with 5 tables that I join together
Code:
SELECT * FROM Map
INNER JOIN ThreatCategory
INNER JOIN Threat ON
ThreatCategory.threatCategoryID = Threat.threatCategoryID
INNER JOIN Threat_Map
ON Threat.threatID = Threat_Map.threatID
ON Map.mapID = Threat_Map.mapID
LEFT JOIN person on map.contentPersonID = person.personID
WHERE (((DATEDIFF(dd, Map.dataAcquisitionDate, GETDATE()) > map.goodForDays) and (map.expired = '1'))
or (map.expired = '3'))
The problem is the table Threat_Map is a many to many mapping between the Map table and the Threat table. Eg) A map can have more than one threat and a threat can have more than one map. I know this is not the best way to have a database set up but its out of my hands as to changing the database. What I need help with is this.
My application checks as to whether a certain field in the Map table is expired or out of date (as in the query). If so it gets some required information from the other tables using those joins. However, I don't want to get information for the same Map.mapID that's expired twice. I don't really care which ThreatID I get from the Threat_Map table I just need to get one of them to meet the objects standards. However, so far this seemingly simple task has eluded me. I'd like to do this in SQL. Is there perhaps a way to do this. If not I guess I'll just take care of it in the application.

1administrateur1NULLNULL
2administrateur2NULLNULL
1administrateur1NULLNULL
2administrateur2NULLNULL
