I 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.Title
FROM gf_game_ext AS ext INNER JOIN
gf_game ON gf_game.gameID = ext.gameID
WHERE (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 cl
5999 -some text- title 90 1960 2 tom-clcl asdf
5998 -some text- title 90 1959 2 tom-cl-cl asdf
What 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!

Just trying to select a set of Articles from a SQL Server Database. The Articles all have a Category ID which is stored in another table (as an Article could be in more than one Category). I want to select the Top 3 Articles in a Category. At the moment I have as my SQL;
"SELECT TOP 3 f.ArticleID, f.Heading, f.Summary, f.WrittenDate, f.ArticleURL FROM feedTable f LEFT JOIN Categories c ON f.ArticleID = c.ArticleID WHERE c.CategoryID=" + CategoryID + " AND c.ArticleID<>" + id + " ORDER BY c.CategoryID"
Which seems to work to an extent in that I do get three articles in the same Category appearing. However, there are sometimes duplicates appearing, so I need to incorporate a DISTINCT clause to the above. I'm not sure where to put this in though. Any ideas?
Table A: ID (unique-identifier) Table B: ID_A (unique-identifier to A.ID, relation)
DTime (datetime)
Rows (id1 and id2 are Id examples): A: id1 id2 B: id1 and 12:00:00 (date not important) id1 and 13:00:00 id2 and 12:00:00
Example: SELECT A.ID, B.DTIME FROM A LEFT JOIN B ON B.ID_A = A.ID WHERE B.DTime < '14:00:00' ORDER BY NEWID()
When I run this, I get the three rows of table B. But what I want is to get each table A row once, and get the nearest datetime of WHERE expression from the relation of table B. So, the result must been two rows, id1 and id2, and id1 with '13:00:00' row because this is the nearest value of '14:00:00'.
How can I do this? DISTINCT trying by A.ID of SELECT, but doesn't work. Also ORDER BY B.DTime will work, but not random by NEWID() anymore.
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.
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)
I 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

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'm stuck. I have a table that I want to pull some info from that I don''t know how to.
There are two colomuns, one is the call_id column which is not unique and the other is the call_status column which again is not unique. The call_status column can have several values, they are ('1 NEW','3 3RD RESPONDED','7 3RD RESOLVED','6 PENDING','3 SEC RESPONDED','7 SEC RESOLVED').
The call_id could be any number, I only want the 6 PENDING rows where there are other rows for that call_id which have either 3 3RD RESPONDED or 7 3RD RESOLVED. If someone knows how it would be a great help.
Hi there,i'm implementing an online album. i have 3 tables; Photo(id,photoSource) ;Join(photoID, albumID) ;Album(id, name ) ; what i wanna do is to list albums in a page and for each one, set a random photo from that album representing that album.but when using inner join it return all photos from that album, and i need only ONE. i thought about group by, but don't know any function limiting the number of rows returned, except TOP(), which i could not utilizethanks in advance
I'm trying to write an SQL query for an application i'm writing to query a relational database. The tables i'm trying to query contain foreign keys to other tables and these fields are optional. my problem..... Take the following tables as a simplified example ------------------ [TABLE1] [PK] ID Description Date [FK] Type_ID ----------------- [TABLE2] [PK] Type_ID Type_Description -----------------
Now the field "Type_ID" is optional in the first table and so by default is NULL. So when I want to write a query that returns the related data stored in both tables that looks like this.... SELECT * FROM TABLE1, TABLE2 WHERE TABLE1.Type_ID = TABLE2.Type_ID and TABLE1.ID = @inputParam
But if the FK in TABLE1 is NULL then it will return no rows.
Is there a SQL Server SQL function that I can use to conquer this?
I want to get some combined data from both tables, so right now I am joining them at the SessionStartTime column, which is a primary key in the first and a foreign key in the second table, something like this:
Code: SELECT DlIndexTable.SessionStartTime, DlTextDataTable.Channel01data FROM DlIndexTable LEFT JOIN DlTextDataTable ON DlIndexTable.SessionStartTime = DlTextDataTable.SessionStartTime WHERE DlIndexTable.SessionStartTime BETWEEN '2006-10-13 16:40:08.790' AND '2012-03-01 17:54:30.930' ORDER BY DlIndexTable.SessionStartTime, DlTextDataTable.ChTimestamp
The trouble is that this query, exactly as requested, gives me all the entries from the second table matching the first, while I really would like to pick just one row (preferably, the first chronologically - by ChTimestamp) so that the first column (SessionStartTime) has distinct entries in the resulting table. What would be the simplest way of doing that? Performance is not a big priority over simplicity since the first table could have only a few hundred rows (maybe a couple of thousand), while the second will be real tiny.
Hi, I was wanting to know if it is possible to create a left join when selecting from 3 seperate tables.
Select p.Project_name, p.project_id, cp.email_display_name, te.Mon FROM tblProject p, tblCorpPerson cp, tblTimeEntry te WHERE p.Project_ID = te.Project_ID AND p.Person_ID = @PersonID AND cp.Person_ID = p.Person_ID
I need to return all rows from tblProject, and any matching project_id's from tblTimeEntry.
Does anyone know how to select rows by their position in a table. I need to be able to e.g return the 2,000th - 2,200th rows as a set. I will have many concurrent clients connecting to this table so I do not want to use cursors. The table is 800,000 in length. Any ideas people?
I need a bit of help with a join. I have 2 tables :
TradeSummary has fields : SymbolID, CurrentPrice, TotalValue
Trades has fields : SymbolID, TradeID, ExecutionTime, TradeValue
TradeSummary has one entry for each SymbolID, while Trades contains one or more entries per SymbolID
and what I want to retreive is :
For every item in TradeSummary get CurrentPrice, TotalValue from TradeSummary and also get TradeValue from Trades for the record for max(ExecutionTime) tables are joined on TradeSummary.SymbolID = Trades.SymbolID
Every attempt of mine so far returns multiple rows for each SymbolID - I want only one row per SymbolID
I am new to SQL but trying to do join a few tables to get result showing showing one row per unique record.
Tables include:-
1. REQ 2. RFQ 3. PO 4. DOCUMENT (contains LAST_DOCUMENT_STATUS, DOCUMENT_ID, DOCUMENT_NUMBER, for example, REQ_CANCELLED, REQ_ID, REQ_NO) 5. DOCUMENT_STATUS (contains status of document, REQ_CREATE) 6. DOCUMENT_TRAIL (contains link between documents, PARENT_DOCUMENT, CURRENT_DOCUMENT, for example, REQ_ID (PARENT_DOCUMENT), RFQ_ID (CURRENT_DOCUMENT) 7. PO_REVISION (contains PO REVISION, when link with DOCUMENT, PO_REV_NO)
Currently when i tried to join all the TABLES, i get multiple lines against REQ_NO.
I realised the multiple lines generated due to the following:-
One to many relationships: A. RFQ - 1 or more PO B. PO - 1 or more PO_REVISON
I was thinking how to MAX the records in PO to show only the last PO_REVISION. It seems that DOCUMENT_TRAIL will contain 1 base document PO and 1 or more PO_REVISION.

Hi, I want to select the 8 most saled products from large orders table... the problem is that when i use the "distinct" sentence (something like this- "SELECT TOP 8 distinct id, products, productid FROM tbl_orders ORDER BY id") I get back the distinct of any columns.... (and any ID is distinct, of course), but if i don't include the id's in the distinct sentence, i can't order by id's. can i get the last orders, only by distinct product, and not by distinct id, and order them by the id's?
