TableName: Order_Archive
Fields:
orderid
load_date
filename
order_date
dollar
I load a file each week into a table, each file has unique orderid, load_date, filename, order_date and dollar. However the same orderid, order_date and dollar could appear in another file with different load_date and file_name.
File1:
orderid, load_date, file_name, order_date, dollar
'1000', '2011-01-01', 'File1', '2011-01-01', '101'
'1001', '2011-01-01', 'File1', '2011-01-01', '102'
'1002', '2011-01-01', 'File1', '2011-01-01', '103'
File2:
orderid, load_date, file_name, order_date, dollar
'1001', '2011-01-08', 'File2', '2011-01-01', '102'
'1002', '2011-01-08', 'File2', '2011-01-01', '103'
'1003', '2011-01-08', 'File2', '2011-01-01', '104'
Question:
whats is the best way to retrieve the distinct records that has the most recent load_date? expected results below:
Expected Results:
orderid, load_date, file_name, order_date, dollar
'1000', '2011-01-01', 'File1', '2011-01-01', '101'
'1001', '2011-01-08', 'File2', '2011-01-01', '102'
'1002', '2011-01-08', 'File2', '2011-01-01', '103'
'1003', '2011-01-08', 'File2', '2011-01-01', '104'

Attached is my select query, but it is returning the database values twice.
Can anyone tell me how I tell it to stop! A sub query I guess....

I have some duplicate records in my table, I need to make those records so they are not duplicate. There is a small dateTime field in that table, I want to add seconds to each row of that field in sequential order so that the record becomes distinct so for e.g if I have this in the field
22-04-2014 10:00:00
22-04-2014 10:00:00
22-04-2014 10:00:00
22-04-2014 10:00:00
So I want to make it like this so that all the duplicate rows becomes distinct
22-04-2014 10:00:01
22-04-2014 10:00:02
22-04-2014 10:00:03
22-04-2014 10:00:04
I am not sure if it is possible, but if it is then how can I achieve this. There are around 20 columns in this table or if there is any other way to make these record distinct.

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.

I have the following Table:DataIDuserIDTimeStampI need to create a query that selects the "newest" records for all distinct users. I'm hoping to get this done in one query. I know I could write multiple queries to find all distinct users, and then the newest records based on that... and so on... but I'm not sure that's the most efficient. I have the following so far, but is it the most efficient (I have indexing on most of my columns)? SELECT DATA.DataID, DATA.UserID, UN.vchName, UN.vchImage, U.vchFirstName + ' ' + U.vchLastName AS 'FullName' FROM [tblData] DATA INNER JOIN [tblUnits] UN ON DATA.UserID = Un.UserID INNER JOIN [tblusers] U ON U.UserID = UN.UserID WHERE GPS.intGPSDataID IN (SELECT MAX([tbLData].DataID) FROM [tbLData] GROUP BY [tbLData].UserID)

I have a task to count distinct records in a big table with roughly 30M records, performance is an important factor. Query is to be written to calculate weekly stats, weekly record number could be as high as 1M.
The actual result is like:
ID Policy
350235744Credit Cards
350235744PCI
350235744PCI Audit
So the final number for this particular Policy is 3
I can write the query like:
select count(distinct Incident_id) policy_name
from Reporting_DailyDlpDetail
Where (year(INSERT_DETECT_TS)=2015) and (month(INSERT_DETECT_TS) =6) and (day(INSERT_DETECT_TS) between 2 and 9)
This returns 526254 and costs 11 seconds to complete
or a query like:
Select distinct Incident_id, policy_name
from Reporting_DailyDlpDetail
Where (year(INSERT_DETECT_TS)=2015) and (month(INSERT_DETECT_TS) =6) and (day(INSERT_DETECT_TS) between 2 and 9)
This returns 749687 and costs roughly 1 minute to complete.
Result is different from the two queries, I believe the later gives correct number. How can I count the distinct based on a combo?Considering the size of data, what is the best and most efficient way to run the stats calculation against over 30 different scenarios (different policies and alert types) and not timeout?

I would like to make a marketing list for all customers that purchased Gin or Scotch but exclude customers that purchased Vodka. The result I am looking for would return only 2 records: Cid’s 1 (Alex) and 3 (Carrie) but not 2 (because Bob bought Vodka).
I know how to make a SELECT DISTINCT statement but as soon as I include Pid=2 This clearly doesn’t work :
SELECT DISTINCT Pid, Cid
FROM
Customer_Purchases
WHERE (Cid = 1) OR
(Cid = 3) OR
(Cid <> 2)

So, how many Distinct SawRunNumbers had no passing wafers? In trying to do this I've come up with:"SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT SawRunNumber) AS BouleCount FROM dbWafer_Slicing WHERE (SawDate >= @MinDate) AND (SawDate <= @MaxDate) AND (Pass = 1) HAVING (COUNT(DISTINCT WaferID) > 0)" but that doenst work. It still counts records where pass = 0 for distinct SawRunNumbers even if one record within that SawRunNumber is passing. From the above sample data I should get a result of 1 not 2 or 3. Can I do this with this set of data? I'm using SQL Server 2005 EE.Thanks for your help.

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?

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.

writing the query for the following, I need to collapse the continuity. If the termdate for an ID is one day less than the effdate of the next id (for the same ID) i need to collapse the records. See below example .....how should i write the query which will give me the desired output. i.e., get min(effdate) and max(termdate) if termdate is one day less than the effdate of next record.
ID effdate termdate
