Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I have a SQL Server Table wtih approximately 100,000 records. I need to determine if there are duplicate records in this table. My probelm is that there is a unique ID column that was added for each row, so I'm not exactly sure how to filter the rows. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a select query similar to the following but the problem I am having is that I want to only select one record where there may be several with the same dw_order_no. I have tried various ways using SQL developer but without success
SELECT VE_EZP_ORDER_TRANS.EZP_BILL_STATUS AS EZP_BILL_STATUS1,
VE_EZP_AGED_CUSTOMER_DEBT.SURNAME,
VE_EZP_AGED_CUSTOMER_DEBT.DEBT_AGE_CATEGORY,
VE_EZP_AGED_CUSTOMER_DEBT.DEBT_AGE,
VE_ORDERLINE.DW_ORDER_NO,
[code]...
I have a very large CSV file containing name-and-address information which I am reading in a Visual Basic project using the Microsoft.JetOLEDB.4.0 provider.
The key field on which the CSV file is to be filtered is the PostCode field. This is a UK-format PostCode "XXnn Nxx" where "XX" is one or more letters denoting a geographical area within the UK and "nn" is one or more characters (starting with at least one numeric digit) which when combined with the area code denotes a specific district within the geographical area. My aim is to identify all the unique UK postal districts held within my address CSV file.
Because I do not know how to use SQL to filter on the partial contents of a database field I am presently reduced to extracting unique full PostCodes using "SELECT DISTINCT PostCode,City,County FROM [ADDRESSES.csv]" into a DataTable object, then sequentially reading that DataTable using the operation of a dictionary object to identify unique PostCode areas, to finally construct the DataTable I need.
Is it possible in SQL to select records where the value of a varying number of characters before a space character in a given (PostCode) field is unique?
I want to start with a table that has 4 records:
-Self
-Supervisor
-Peer
-Direct Rep
And I want to end with a table that has every unique combination of these records (the order being reversed would be considered 'unique' in this context)
-Self , Supervisor
-Supervisor , Self
-Self , Peer
-Peer , Self
-Self , Direct Rep
-Direct Rep , Self
-Peer , Direct Rep
-Direct Rep, Peer
How would I do this in an SQL Query? Thanks for your help!
I have a stored procedure (below), that is supposeto get a Reg Number from a table, (Reg_Number), insuch a way that every time the stored procedure is called,it will get a different reg number, even if the storedprocedure is called simultaneously from two differentplaces,However it is not working that way.If two different users access a function in thereVB program at the same time, the two different userswill get the same reg number.I have looked at the stored procedure, it looks foolproof,yet it is not working that way.Thanks in Advance,Laurence NuttallProgrammer Analyst IIIUCLA - Division of Continuing Education'---------------------------------------------------------------------------Here it is:CREATE PROCEDURE sp_GetNextRegNum@newRegNum char(6) = NULL OUTPUTASLABEL_GET_ANOTHER_REG:Select @newRegNum =(select min(Reg) from reg_number)IF Exists (select Reg from reg_number where reg = @newRegNum )BeginDelete from reg_number where reg = @newRegNumIF @@Error <> 0BeginGoto LABEL_GET_ANOTHER_REGEnd--EndifEndELSEGoTo LABEL_GET_ANOTHER_REG--EndifGO
View 6 Replies View RelatedI got the following query:SELECT TOP (8) ext.extID, ext.Quote, ext.sourceTitle, ext.extRating, gf_game.gameID, gf_game.catID, gf_game.URL, gf_game.TitleFROM gf_game_ext AS ext INNER JOIN gf_game ON gf_game.gameID = ext.gameIDWHERE (ext.Approved = 1)ORDER BY ext.extID DESC which is e.g. producing this output: 6000 -some text- Title 90 1960 2 tom-cl tom cl5999 -some text- title 90 1960 2 tom-clcl asdf5998 -some text- title 90 1959 2 tom-cl-cl asdfWhat I'd like to do now is to filter out the duplicate GameIDs (= 1960) so that just one unique row with the gameid 1960 is remaining. If I put in a SELECT DINSTINCT TOP(8) it just counts for the table ext, but I need it to count for gf_game.gameID - is that possible?Thanks a lot!

I have a table (Billing Table) having multiple records for people having one record per person per each month.
How to get a list of the guys having record just for one month (say feb) and doesn't have any other months.
Table1 contains fields Groupid, UserName,Category, Dimension
Table2 contains fields Group, Name,Category, Dimension (Group and Name are not in Table1)
So basically I need to read the records in Table1 using Groupid and each time there is a Groupid then select records from Table2 where Table2.Category in (Select Catergory from Table1)
and Table2.Dimension in (Select Dimension from Table1)
In Table1 There might be 10 Groupid records all of which are different.
I have a database which has a field called fldTimes. basically this field records the number of hits a file gets. How can I choose the most 5 popular files with the greatest hits. Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use a SELECT to retrieve a Next 50 set of records?
Initial Query
Select top 50 email from table
What would the Query look like to retrieve the Next 50 records?
Thanks in advance.
This might be a simple question. I have a LIKE statement that is working fine, however I am not sure if something else is possible.
I can pull all records on a query for a person's name with a parameter value of "MARTIN". It will also pull records for "LYNN MARTIN". However, what if I would like to have that search also pull "LYNN M MARTIN"? Currently "LYNN MARTIN" is not finding "LYNN M MARTIN".
When the end user wants to search on LYNN MARTIN and that is what they input, I want SQL to find all records that match LYNN MARTIN and also find records that HAVE LYNN % MARTIN.
I hope this make sense? I guess I need to build my select statement using a WHERE LIKE statement, but I am not sure of the syntax.

How would I create a statement that would select 10 random records from the SQL DB?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
Here is a basic example of the issue I am having:
Table 1 columns - name, address, zipcode, favorite food
For table 2 I want to find how many zipcodes exists and also take 20% of the count
Table 2 columns - based off Table 1 contains zipcode, count(zipcode) as ct, count(zipcode) * .20 as perc_ct
For example:
zipcode ct perc_ct
83746 10 2
93847 20 4
I want to run a query that will pull any 2 records for 83746 and any 4 records for 93847 from Table 1.
Is this possible?

Is there a way to see a list of duplicate records??
EG There is a field named "Invoice" in a table named "Orders" and I want to see only records where the same invoice shows more than once.

Good Morning,I have a view that contains rate information, contractIDs, and effectivedates.I need to select the rate info based on contractID and date.I can provide a date and contractID, and I need to select the rate info forthat contract where the effective date is <= dateprovided.I need the 1 record that is closest to that date.I am thinking something with max() perhaps. Any ideas? The <= effectivedate will return several rows, I just need the one closest to the date Iprovide.Thanks for any advice,CK
