Hi,

Hello board,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me an easy way to find duplicate records on sql. The thing is this, at work we have a database (table) which includes tracking numbers, I need a easy way to be able to search this table for duplicate tracking numbers and print them out. I currently access this table to edit some data by using the following path “Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server > Enterprise Manager” then work my down the tree to “Databases > Master > Tables” on tables I do a right click and “open table/query”. Any help would be most appreciated. Believe me I’m very “SQL illiterate”

Hi,
As far as I know in SQL Server 6.5 there is no concept called rowid. How can I find duplicate records in a table and delete them.
Thanks,

I have this query that I have been using to find duplicate records works great except for now. The logic I am adding is pcs_rreas <> 'NG'. When I add this it does take out the NG, but it also excludes the reocords that have NULL data in this field. I don't want that to happen. How can I fix this? I tried adding (pcs_rreas <> 'NG' or pcs_rreas is null) but nothing is pulling now.
SELECT pcs_id1, pcs_rreas, pcs_lname, pcs_fname, pcs_minit, pcs_degree, pcs_xtyp, pcs_office, pcs_dba, pcs_dob, pcs_sex, pcs_eff, pcs_trm, pcs_spec1, pcs_spec2, pcs_spec3,
pcs_spec4, pcs_tax1, pcs_ssn, pcs_altid, pcs_upin, pcs_medic, pcs_mcaid, pcs_ecs, pcs_npi, pcs_status, pcs_dir, pcs_den, pcs_www, pcs_hold, pcs_email,

Hi, I have had this problem for a while and have not been able solve it.
What im looking at doing is looping thru my patient table and trying to organise the patients in to there admission sequence, so when patient "A" comes in and is treated at my hospital and is discharged and admitted to another Hospital within one day then patient "A" will get a code of 1 being there first admission.
then if patient "A" is admitted again but there admission date is greater than one day they get a code of 2 being for there second admission but will need to loop thru table looking for other admissions and discharges.
The table name is Adm_disc_Match_tbl
Basically what i have 4 fields.
Index_key = which is the patient common link (text)
ur_episode = this wil change for each Hospital (text)
Admission_datetime = patient admission date and time (datetime)
Discharge_datetime = patient discharge date and time (datetime)
example of data
Code: ( text )
Index_key,ur_episode,Admission_datetime,discharge_ datetime

I'm using this to find duplicates where a person has the same email but varying firstname and lastnames:
select distinct t1.booking_id, t1.first_name, t1.last_name, t1.email_add, t1.booking_status_id
from [aren1002].[BOOKING]
as t1 inner join [aren1002].[BOOKING]
as t2
on t1.last_name=t2.last_name and t1.booking_id<>t2.booking_id
where t1.booking_status_id = 330
order by last_name asc
Sample data:
3927 Greg Smith greg@emailno1.com 303
5012 John Smith greg@emailno1.com 303
6233 John Smith greg@emailno1.com 303
4880 Dulcie Abuud dulcie@theiremail.com 303
However it is listing the non duplicate rows, For example: The record with Abuud as the last name, doesn't have any duplicates in the table, so I don't want it listed.
The data should be like this:
3927 Greg Smith greg@emailno1.com 303
5012 John Smith greg@emailno1.com 303
6233 John Smith greg@emailno1.com 303

Hello,
Not sure how to do this. I think I need to use a Group By query. I have a "Products" table with the following fields:
Program#
Number
UPC
Item
Item#
Size
Dept
Everything is specific to the Program#. In other words, for every instance of a Program# there can be more than one Product, which is specified by the "Number" field. So: SELECT * FROM Product WHERE [Program#] = '12345' should return this:
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cookies | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
12345 | 2 | 000012345678 | Cake | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
12345 | 3 | 000012345678 | Ice Cream | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
However, some recordsets are returning like this:
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cookies | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cake | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
12345 | 2 | 000012345678 | Ice Cream | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
In which case I have to fix them (the "Number" field) with an update query sp they are numbered sequentially. Luckily, this doesn't happen very often.
Can someone help me with a query that will return only those records with duplicate values in the "Number" field? I am not sure how to construct this query which I will use as a stored procedure.
TIA,

I have the following table:
f_namef_countryf_ID
ABCUS123
DEFGB123
ABCUS456
GHIGB789
etc.
I need to run a query to discover all instances where a f_name and f_country pair exists for more than one f_ID. ABC/US is one such example; IDs 123 and 456 have this pair.
In the FLAT FILE source, I have to find the duplicate rows based on the two fields say, "bill number" & "invoice date".
The rows within flat file has like "bill number" which is duplicated on the same "invoice date".
If duplicate rows found then move the duplicate rows into another Flat File.
If not found then move the rows into Sql Server Table.
Pls provide the solution. Thank you
Someone ran an update statement multiple times so their are multiple entries in the table. Â What is the quickest way to track down the multiple entries? Â I would only want to see where timein and timeoff exist in the table multiple times for the same id. Â So this would be a duplicate
EntryID -- ID Â -- timein -- timeoff
1487 Â 11 Â Â 2015-05-05 16:33:23 Â 2015-05-05 18:45:26
1623 Â 11 Â Â 2015-05-05 16:33:23 Â 2015-05-05 18:45:26
Is there a way to find duplicate records in a table using code. We have about 500,000 records in this table.

Hi All,
How to check for the duplicate records in the table? Thanks.
Yes, I know this subject has been exhausted, but I need help in locating the discussion which took place a few months ago.
Sharon relayed to the group a piece of software (expensive) which would help in my particular situation. I grabbed a demo and have gotten the approval for purchase. Unfortunately, I don't have the thread with me at work.
The problem:
Number Fname Lname Age ID
123 John Franklin 43 1
123 Jane Franklin 40 2
123 Jeff Franklin 12 3
124 Jean Simmons 39 4
125 Gary Bender 37 5
126 Fred Johnson 29 6
126 Fred Johnson 39 7
127 Gene Simmons 47 8
The idea would be to get only unique records from the Number column. I don't care about which information I grab from the other columns, but I must have those fields included.
If my resultant result set looked as follows, that would be fine. Or any other way, as long as all of the fields had information and there were only unique values in the Number field.
Number Fname Lname Age ID
123 Jeff Franklin 12 3
124 Jean Simmons 39 4
125 Gary Bender 37 5
126 Fred Johnson 39 7
127 Gene Simmons 47 8
If anyone remembers this discussion, mainly the date, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

I have two tables, one contains all work orders, the second contains records on work orders that are linked to customoer orders. I'm trying to create a query that will return specific fields from the table that contains orders in the linked order table, and only the work orders in the all order table that (work_order) do not exist in the linked order table (demand_supply_link). I have tried several queries and cannot get the results I desire. Here is the query I am currently trying.
SELECT DISTINCT WORK_ORDER.DESIRED_WANT_DATE as 'Want Date', DEMAND_SUPPLY_LINK.SUPPLY_BASE_ID as 'WO Id',
WORK_ORDER.DESIRED_QTY as 'End Qty', DEMAND_SUPPLY_LINK.SUPPLY_PART_ID as 'Part Id', CUST_ORDER_LINE.CUSTOMER_PART_ID as 'Cust Part',
OPERATION.RESOURCE_ID as Resource, PART.DESCRIPTION as Description, CUSTOMER.NAME as Name
FROM ((((DEMAND_SUPPLY_LINK INNER JOIN CUST_ORDER_LINE ON DEMAND_SUPPLY_LINK.DEMAND_BASE_ID = CUST_ORDER_LINE.CUST_ORDER_ID)
INNER JOIN WORK_ORDER ON DEMAND_SUPPLY_LINK.SUPPLY_BASE_ID = WORK_ORDER.BASE_ID)
INNER JOIN OPERATION ON WORK_ORDER.BASE_ID = OPERATION.WORKORDER_BASE_ID) INNER JOIN PART ON WORK_ORDER.PART_ID = PART.ID)
INNER JOIN (CUSTOMER INNER JOIN CUSTOMER_ORDER ON CUSTOMER.ID = CUSTOMER_ORDER.CUSTOMER_ID) ON CUST_ORDER_LINE.CUST_ORDER_ID = CUSTOMER_ORDER.ID
WHERE WORK_ORDER.DESIRED_WANT_DATE Is Not Null AND OPERATION.RESOURCE_ID in ('ASSY','FAB 1','PLAY TRK')
AND WORK_ORDER.STATUS='R'
UNION
SELECT distinct work_order.desired_want_date as 'Want Date', work_order.BASE_id as 'WO Id',
work_order.desired_qty as 'End Qty', work_order.part_id as 'Part Id', operation.resource_id as Resource,
part.description as Description
FROM WORK_ORDER INNER JOIN PART ON PART_ID=WORK_ORDER.PART_ID INNER JOIN OPERATION ON WORK_ORDER.BASE_ID=OPERATION.WORKORDER_BASE_ID
WHERE WORK_ORDER.DESIRED_WANT_DATE IS NOT NULL AND OPERATION.RESOURCE_ID IN ('ASSY','FAB 1', 'PLAY TRK')
AND WORK_ORDER.STATUS='R'
This is the error I receive:
Server: Msg 205, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
All queries in an SQL statement containing a UNION operator must have an equal number of expressions in their target lists.
The all orders table (work_order) will not have the other fields to link to as there is no customer order linked to them.
Can anyone help. Thanks!

Hi,
Not so sure how simple this question is but here is what happened. I installed SQL Server 2005 on a new Win Server 2003. I exported the tables and their data from the old machine to the newly established database on the new machine.
It looks like all my records were duplicated. When I try to delete one of the duplicates it won't work because both rows are effected. I can't set my primary key now and if I try to create a new database with the primary key already set than the import fails.
Any one run into this before or know what's going on?
Any help ASAP would really be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,I have written a web application using dreamweaver MX, asp.net, and MSsql server 2005.The problem I am having occurs when I attempt to edit a record. I have setup a datagrid with freeform fields so that the user can click on edit, make the required changes within the data grid then click update. The data is then saved to the database. All this was created using dreameaver and most of the code was automatically generated for me.The problem is that, not everytime, but sometimes when I go to edit a record once I hit the update button to save the changes the record is duplicated 1 or more times. This doesnt happen everytime but when it does it duplicates the record between 1 and about 5 times. I have double checked everything but cannot find anything obvious that may be causing this issue. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should look for? Is this a coding error or something wrong with MSsql? Any ideas?Thanks in advance-Mitch
