Im running updates on a table. I would like to only update the table with new records. Right now, Im running a query that will only update the records that were added yesterday. Here is my code:
FROM GRAB where BKDATE = convert(varchar(8), getdate()-1, 112)
I would like to Update like this (incorrect syntax):
FROM GRAB where FCN is distinct
I know the above is incorrect.... what would be correct?
Thanks again

I have a problem with a SQL SELECT query. As far as my research goes i figured out that UNIQUE is used when you have one column that you whant unique and DISTINCT is used when you have more than one column that you want to all be unique. But i have a query where i want just some of the columns to be unique and some not. Here is the full query (It's in a stored procedure):
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[rpt_ExecSum_Combined_4fields](@BondGroupID int)
AS SELECT DISTINCT
SUM(dbo.Bond.LoanAmount) AS SumOfBondValue, COUNT(dbo.Bond.BondID) AS CountOfBond, dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType
FROM dbo.BondGroup INNER JOIN
dbo.TransactionTable ON dbo.BondGroup.BondGroupID = dbo.TransactionTable.BondGroupID INNER JOIN
dbo.Bond ON dbo.TransactionTable.TransactionID = dbo.Bond.TransactionID INNER JOIN
dbo.ProgressStep ON dbo.TransactionTable.TransactionID = dbo.ProgressStep.TransactionID INNER JOIN
dbo.ProgressStepType ON dbo.ProgressStep.ProgressStepTypeID = dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepTypeID
WHERE (dbo.BondGroup.BondGroupID = @BondGroupID)
GROUP BY dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType, dbo.ProgressStep.ProgressStepID
HAVING (dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'AIP (Approval in Principle) received') OR
(dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'Grants') OR
(dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'Attorney') OR
(dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType = 'Feedback received from bank')
ORDER BY dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType
*********
With the DISTINCT it gives me a full set of unique values but what i want is this: Every CountOfBond may have more than one SumOfBondValue and they may be the same, but if there is more than one dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType the query should only read it once. In other words the dbo.ProgressStepType.ProgressStepType is a unique value and the rest not...
Please help, my boss is on my case :)
Aim- Need to count how many [FDMSAccountNo] fall under a unique parentid
This is my query
SELECT [FDMSAccountNo]
,ParentID
FROM [FDMS].[dbo].[Dim_Outlet]
where ParentID = '878028271889'
Which produces the following, The number of fdmsaccountno under parentid is two. Its two because one of the fdmsaccountno is = to parentid
FDMSAccountNo ParentID
878028271889878028271889
878028272887878028271889
878028273885878028271889
Desired result

I created an ouput text file that was perfect until specs were revised today to add quarterly tax and deduction summations for each employee. (Expected turnaround time for new spec: today!)
So my employee record now has 8 records (which I expected) because I had to join it to the pay_summary table. Like this:
SELECT
COALESCE(CONVERT(char(1),e.record_status),'')
+ COALESCE(CONVERT(char(4),'97 '),'')
and many more fields
from employees as e
JOIN emp_taxes as t on e.employee_no = t.employee_no
LEFT OUTER JOIN pay_summary AS p ON e.employee_no = p.employee_no
Where
dateadd(d, 0, datediff(d, 0, p.dated)) BETWEEN '20061231' AND '20070401'
and e.record_status not like 'D'
and t.tax_authority_type = 'F'
and e.company_no = '2' and e.employee_no = t.employee_no
order by e.employee_no
There are 6 or so fields I intend to sum as records to go into the
file. In another language, in order to get one record per employee_no, the syntax would be like this:
sort on employee_no
footing at employee_no
report field_a field_b field_c subtotal field_e field_f subtotal
in which case fields c and f are numeric and summed from the multiple pay_summary records.
What is the (most efficient) SQL command to give only one record per
employee while summing all the detail records?
I can't thank you guys enough for this forum.

Hi All,
I'm struggling with this one.
We have a Street database that can contain multiple entries for one record in our main table. We don't wish to pass duplicate rows back to our end user so I wish to get distinct recno's (the unique identifier for the main table) back from our Street Table.
We have a stored procedure that currently uses Select distinct Recno but I think this is slower than if I used a unique index with ignore_dup_key. Problem is that when I alter the stored procedure it looks like the functionality of the LIKE function is somehow altered. For example Like 'King%' fails to return anything but Like 'King St%' does. I suspect it is the fact that the error "Server: Msg 3604, Level 16, State 1, Procedure" is being generated. How do I code around this server side.
Hi
I need to select unique records from a Table. I'm using Distinct Keyword for this purpose. But the result set is showing distinct records in sorted order. I do'nt want to sort records. I need the order in which they are created in table.
Please suggest me the solution for this problem.
Thanks

I am building a view to be used to drill down into a Lightswitch app I'm building and to drive this I want to use a view based off the selection of that value several other values will be given to the user to choose from related to the first selection. I've created a view using the following statement:
SELECT DISTINCT TOP (100) PERCENT ARSFamily, ARS_Index
FROM dbo.csr_standards_cmsars
ORDER BY ARSFamily
but the results come back with ALL the records of the source table (509 rows) when there should have only been 29 rows returned (the appropriate number of families or unique groups). The index is necessary to have Lightswitch use the view as a data source.what I'm doing wrong here?
Hi All,
I have a problem I just cant suss out. I have a table of products that are grouped together using a "GroupID" (this is used to have 1 product with many variations) , there is then a "isTop" bool I need 1 product per group to be set to true or 1.I need some sort of UPDATE DISTINCT or UPDATE GROUP BY .. I don’t really know sub queries that well (understatement J) . but I tried unsuccessfullyUPDATE (SELECT distinct GroupID, isTopFROM Product) as bob SET bob.isTop = 1 And UPDATE DISTINCT GroupID SET = isTop 1
My table data looks soemthing like this:GroupID isTop 15 015 015 015 026 026 027 027 029 030 031 032 0
But wants to look like this:
GroupID isTop 15 115 015 015 026 126 027 127 029 130 131 132 1Hope that makes sense ... any help would be appreciated.

Question: i have to do an update on a table that has a nested index of three fields. however i'm only getting one field as a parameter to work with and i am getting a constraint because there cannot be duplicate records.
Is there a way to only do the update code if the unique key constraint is not thrown? i was thinking about doing this in an if statement but the problem is i do not have all three keys that i can use to do the right query. thanks
hello .
i have a grid for a table that gets updated with recordset.updatebatch
for a multi-user application.
the problem is that some of the table fields have to be unique
now imagine the next situation.
user A opens the form
user B opens the form
user A writes '1000' in the unique field
user A saves the recordset with updatebatch
user B writes '1000' in the unique field
user B saves the recordset with updatebatch
now there will be two records with the field '1000' !
how can i avoid this ?
i cannot check for unique during the update event of the grid
because it should check during the time it is saving and not
when it is just entering data without having updated the recordset
thanks !
Look at the following code,
Create table #test
(
id int primary key,
Name varchar(100)
)
insert into #test values (1,'John')
insert into #test values (2,'Walker')
[Code] ....
-- Query 1 :
update #test set name = 'Joney' where id = 1
-- Query 2 :
set rowcount 1
update #test set name = 'Joney' where id = 1
set rowcount 0
1. #test table have primary key & clustered index.
2. Obviously only one row will be available for an id.
3. In query 1, will the sql server look for matching rows even after it found 1 row?
4. Will query 2 really gains some performance?
I'm trying to update rows in a simple table that has a UNIQUE KEY CONSTRAINT defined on one of its columns. Here is the DDL for the table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SEC_USER](
[SEC_USER_ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[USER_CODE] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[USER_NAME] [varchar](128) NOT NULL,
[EMP_CODE] [varchar](6) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
When trying to execute the UPDATE statement the query fails with a constraint violation error:
Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'UQ__SEC_USER__A039F1EE62FE8444'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.SEC_USER'. The duplicate key value is (34337).
What has me baffled is that I'm not doing any insert. Also, the value that it's referencing - 34337 - doesn't exist in the table at all. I'd rather not drop the constraint.
updating the # of Payer from below query to match with the # of rows for each payer record. See the Current and desired results below. The query is currently counting the # of rows for all payers together and updating 3 as # of payers. I need it to count # of rows for each payer like shown inDesired result below. It should be showing 1 for first payer and 2 for 2nd & 3rd based on # of times each payer is repeated..
SELECT b.FILING_IND, b.PYR_CD, b. PAYER_ID, b. PAYER_NAME,a.CLAIM_ICN,
(Select Count(*) From MMITCGTD.MMIT_CLAIM a, MMITCGTD.MMIT_TPL b , MMITCGTD.MMIT_ATTACHMENT_LINK c where a.CLAIM_ICN_NU =
c.CLAIM_ICN and b.TPL_TS = c.TPL_TS and a.CLAIM_TYPE_CD = 'X'
[Code] ....
Current Result
FILING_IND
PYR_CD
PAYER_ID
PAYER_NAME
CLAIM_ICN
#_OF_PAYER
[code]....
I need to update the result depending upon the count of distinct entries.
Example
ID Employee Region State
1 ABC AMEA MI
2 DEF AMEA MI
3 XYZ APAC TX
I want the result as below
ID Employee Region State
1 ABC AMEA MI-1
2 DEF AMEA MI-2
3 XYZ APAC TX
since the count of Region is 2
I tried using DECLARE @intFlag INT and stuff but wasn't able to get the solution.
I have a After insert, update trigger. When I update multiple records with unique constraints column in it update fails. But if this a single record update it works.
Could like to know the reason.
Hi there ...here comes a tricky one.
I have a database table which needs to make the Index "ParentREF, UniqueName" unique - but this fails because duplicate keys are found. Thus I now need to cleanup these duplicate rows - but I cannot just delete the duplicates, because they might have rows in detail tables.
This means that all duplicate rows needs an update on the "UniqueName" value - but not the first (valid) one!
I can find those rows by
SELECT OID, UniqueName, ParentREF, CreatedUTC, ModifiedUTC FROM dbo.CmsContent AS table0
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT OID, UniqueName, ParentREF FROM dbo.CmsContent AS table1
WHERE table0.ParentREF = table1.ParentREF
AND table0.UniqueName = table1.UniqueName
AND table0.OID != table1.OID
)
ORDER BY ParentREF, UniqueName, ModifiedUTC desc
...but I struggle to make the required SQL (SP?) to update the "invalid" rows.
Note: the "valid" row is the one with the newest ModifiedUTC value - this row must kept unchanged!
ATM the preferred (cause easiest) way is to rename the invalid rows with
UniqueName = OID
because if I use any other name I risk to create another double entry.
Thanks in advance to whoever can help me
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?
I need to run a SELECT DISTINCT query acrossmultiple fields, but I need to add another field that is NON-DISTINCTto my record set.Here is my query:SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, genderFROM gpresultsWHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis query runs perfect. No problems whatsoever. However, I need toalso include another field called "admitdate" that should be treatedas NON-DISTINCT. How do I add this in to the query?I've tried this but doesn't work:SELECT admitdateFROM (SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, gender from gpresults)WHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis has to be simple but I do not know the syntax to accomplishthis.Thanks

Hello,
I have written a small asp.net application, which keeps record of the proposals coming from the branch offices of a bank in a tableCREATEd as a TABLE Proposals ( ID smallint identity(7,1), BranchID char(5), Proposal_Date datetime )
This app also calculates the total number of proposals coming from a specific branch in a given date bySELECTing COUNT(BranchID) FROM Proposals WHERE BranchID=@prmBranchID AND Proposal_Date=@prmDateand prints them in a table (my target table).
This target table has as many rows as the result of the "SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) FROM Proposals"and excluding the first column which displays those DISTINCT Proposal_Dates, it also has as many columns as the result of the"SELECT DISTINCT BranchID FROM Proposals". This target table converts the DateTime values ToShortDateString so that we are able to see comfortably which branch office has sent how many proposals in a given day.
So far so good, and everything works fine except one thing:
Certain DateTime values in the Proposals table which are of the same day but of different hours (for ex: 11.11.2005 08:30:45 and11.11.2005 10:45:30) cause some trouble in the target table, where "SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) FROM Proposals" is executed, because (as you might already guess) it displays two identical dates in ShortDateString form, and this doesn't make much sense (i.e. it causes redundant rows)
What I need to do is to get a result like (in a neat fashion :)
"SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) <<DISTINCT ONLY IN THE DAYS AND NOT IN HOURS OR MINUTES OR SECONDS>> FROM Proposals"
So, how to do it in a suitable way?
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone,
I need urgent help to resolve this issue...
As far as the performance goes which one is better..
Unique Index(col1, col2) OR Unique constraint(col1, col2) ?
Unique constraint automatically adds a unique index
and unique index takes care of uniqueness then whats the use of unique constraint ?
Which one do one use ?
thanks

BOL says a unique constraint is preferred over a unique index. It also states that a unique constraint creates a unique index. What then is the difference between the two, and why is a constraint preferred over the index?

hi team,
.Can i create umique constraint with out unique index.when i am creating a unique constraint sql creates a unique index (default) can i have only unique constraint ?
I am having a problem trying to figure out the best way to get the results I need. I have a table of part numbers that is joined with a table of notes. The table of notes is specific to the part number and user. A row in the notes table is only created if the user has entered notes on that part number. I need to create a search that grabs all matches on a keyword and returns the records. The problem is that it currently returns a row from the parts table with no notes and a separate row with the notes included if they had created an entry. It seems like this should be easy but it eludes me today.
Here is the code
Code Snippet
create procedure SearchPartKeyword
(
@Keyword varchar(250) = null,
@Universal_Id varchar(10) = null
)
as
select p.PartNumber, p.Description, p.ServiceOrderable, n.MyNotes, p.LargestAssembly, p.DMM,
p.Legacy, p.Folder, p.Printer
from Parts p inner join notes n on p.PartNumber = n.Identifier
where n.Universal_ID = @Universal_ID and p.Description like @Keyword
union
select p.PartNumber, p.Description, p.ServiceOrderable, '' as MyNotes, p.LargestAssembly,
p.DMM, p.Legacy, p.Folder, p.Printer
from Parts p
where p.Description like @Keyword
and the results:
PartNo Description SO Notes LA DMM Legacy Folder Printer
de90008 MAIN BOARD 1 DGF1 114688 0 0 0
de90008 MAIN BOARD 1 I love this part Really I do DGF1 114688 0 0 0
This could return multiple part numbers and If they have entered notes I want the row with the notes
Thank You

Okay, I've been working on this for a couple of hours with no success. I'm trying to find the number of telephone numbers that are associated with multiple students at different school sites. I've created a temp table that lists all phone numbers that are associated with more than one student.

Essentially, I'm looking for parent/guardians that have students at different sites.
Here's an example of what I'm hoping to accomplish:
