Help With Complex Delete

Feb 1, 2008

All,

I need to delete all records from the group-ids associated with metagroup_id=28 who are contact_type='members'. I'm trying the query below but it won't work. Hoping someone can shed some light?


DELETE FROM groupContacts
WHERE contact_id IN
(
SELECT c.contact_id
FROM contacts c INNER JOIN
(
SELECT c.contact_id, c.contact_type, c.fname, c.lname, c.school_id, c.permanent_address_1
FROM contacts c INNER JOIN groupContacts gc ON c.contact_id=gc.contact_id
INNER JOIN groups g ON gc.group_id = g.group_id
INNER JOIN groupMetagroups gmg ON gmg.group_id=g.group_id
INNER JOIN meta_groups mg ON mg.metagroup_id = gmg.metagroup_id
WHERE mg.metagroup_id = 28
AND (c.contact_type = 'prospect')
) AS DrvTbl
ON DrvTbl.fname = c.fname
AND DrvTbl.lname = c.lname
AND DrvTbl.school_id = c.school_id
AND (SUBSTRING(ltrim(rtrim(DrvTbl.Permanent_Address_1) ),1,5) = SUBSTRING(ltrim(rtrim(c.Permanent_Address_1)),1,5) )
WHERE c.contact_type='member'
)
AND group_id IN (select group_id from groupMetagroups where metagroup_id = 28)

Please Help Me With A Complex DELETE Statement

Jan 27, 2005

Hello, currently I have a query like this:


PHP Code:




 SELECT     *
FROM         relations INNER JOIN
                      paths ON relations.path = paths.path_id
WHERE     
                      (paths.links = '161') AND (relations.node1 = 162) OR
                      (paths.links = '161') AND (relations.node2 = 162) OR
                      (paths.links = '162') AND (relations.node1 = 161) OR
                      (paths.links = '162') AND (relations.node2 = 161) OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '162%') AND (relations.node1 = 161) OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '%162') AND (relations.node2 = 161) OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '161%') AND (relations.node1 = 162) OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '%161') AND (relations.node2 = 162) OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '%161;162%') OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '%162;161%')
ORDER BY relations.node1 





Don't pay attention to the 161 and 162 things, is just test data, now my problem is that I want to transform that into a DELETE statement, but I can't find the right way to do it, so far I managed to do something like:


PHP Code:




 DELETE relations
FROM         relations INNER JOIN
                      paths ON relations.path = paths.path_id
WHERE     
                      (paths.links = '161') AND (relations.node1 = 162) OR
                      (paths.links = '161') AND (relations.node2 = 162) OR
                      (paths.links = '162') AND (relations.node1 = 161) OR
                      (paths.links = '162') AND (relations.node2 = 161) OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '162%') AND (relations.node1 = 161) OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '%162') AND (relations.node2 = 161) OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '161%') AND (relations.node1 = 162) OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '%161') AND (relations.node2 = 162) OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '%161;162%') OR
                      (paths.links LIKE '%162;161%') 





But that would delete only from the relations table and not from the paths table. I need to delete from both tables.

Can anyone help me please? Its kinda urgent.

Thansk!

Complex Delete Query Help.

Jul 27, 2007

Hello,

I have a db with 4 tables are linked by different fields. I'll setup a general layout for you in hopes of getting some assistance with write a delete query based on a date range. T is table, f is field.

T1.F1 = T3.F1
T1.F2 = T2.F2
T1.F3 = T4.F3
T1.F4 = T2.F4 {DATE}

so as you can see, this will be an embedded delete of some type but I have to somehow cache the deleted values so that these values can be used for the parent delete (I think).

I'm new to this stuff so...let me know if my approach is wrong. Perhaps it was a poorly written db. I have to purge about 5GB worth of data.

Thanks in advance,
Sid.

Complex DB Search Forms (Store Proc Vs. Complex Where)

Nov 12, 2003

I have web forms with about 10-15 optional search parameters (fields) for a give table. Each item (textbox) in the form is treated as an AND condition.

Right now I build complex WHERE clauses based on wheather data is present in a textbox and AND each one in the clause. Also, if a particular field is "match any word", i get a ANDed set of OR's. As you can imagine, the WHERE clause gets quite large.

I build clauses like this (i.e., 4 fields shown):

SELECT * from tableName WHERE (aaa like '%data') AND (bbb = 'data') AND (ccc like 'data%') AND ( (xxx like '%data') OR (yyy like '%data%') )

My question is, are stored procedures better for building such dynamic SQL clauses? I may have one field or all fifteen. I've written generic code for building the clauses, but I don't know much about stored procedures and am wondering if I'm making this more difficult on myself.

I have some simple files but they are failing because the delete history task is failing as it is looking for files in a non existent directory.

It is looking for files in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.INSTANCEMSSQLLog whereas it should be looking in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLLog

how I can get this corrected so I can get the Maintenance Plans to run correctly.

Master Data Services :: Hard Delete All Soft Delete Records (members) In Database

May 19, 2012

I am using Master Data Service for couple of months now. I can load, update, merge and soft delete data in MDS. Occasionally we even have to hard delete data from MDS. If we keep on soft deleting records in a MDS table eventually there will be huge number of soft deleted records. Is there an easy way to hard delete all the soft deleted records from all MDS tables in a specific Model.

Copy And Delete Table With Foreign Key References(...,...) On Delete Cascade?

Oct 23, 2004

Hello:
Need some serious help with this one...

Background:
Am working on completing an ORM that can not only handles CRUD actions -- but that can also updates the structure of a table transparently when the class defs change. Reason for this is that I can't get the SQL scripts that would work for updating a software on SqlServer to be portable to other DBMS systems. Doing it by code, rather than SQL batch has a chance of making cross-platform, updateable, software...

Anyway, because it needs to be cross-DBMS capable, the constraints are that the system used must work for the lowest common denominator....ie, a 'recipe' of steps that will work on all DBMS's.

The Problem:
There might be simpler ways to do this with SqlServer (all ears :-) - just in case I can't make it cross platform right now) but, with simplistic DBMS's (SqlLite, etc) there is no way to ALTER table once formed: one has to COPY the Table to a new TMP name, adding a Column in the process, then delete the original, then rename the TMP to the original name.

This appears possible in SqlServer too --...as long as there are no CASCADE operations.
Truncate table doesn't seem to be the solution, nor drop, as they all seem to trigger a Cascade delete in the Foreign Table.

So -- please correct me if I am wrong here -- it appears that the operations would be
along the lines of:
a) Remove the Foreign Key references
b) Copy the table structure, and make a new temp table, adding the column
c) Copy the data over
d) Add the FK relations, that used to be in the first table, to the new table
e) Delete the original
f) Done?

The questions are:
a) How does one alter a table to REMOVE the Foreign Key References part, if it has no 'name'.
b) Anyone know of a good clean way to get, and save these constraints to reapply them to the new table. Hopefully with some cross platform ADO.NET solution? GetSchema etc appears to me to be very dbms dependant?
c) ANY and all tips on things I might run into later that I have not mentioned, are also greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Sky

SQL - Cascading Delete, Or Delete Trigger, Maintaining Referential Integrity - PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Nov 13, 2006

I am having great difficulty with cascading deletes, delete triggers and referential integrity.

The database is in First Normal Form.

I have some tables that are child tables with two foreign keyes to two different parent tables, for example:

Table A
/
Table B Table C
/
Table D

So if I try to turn on cascading deletes for A/B, A/C, B/D and C/D relationships, I get an error that I cannot have cascading delete because it would create multiple cascade paths. I do understand why this is happening. If I delete a row in Table A, I want it to delete child rows in Table B and table C, and then child rows in table D as well. But if I delete a row in Table C, I want it to delete child rows in Table D, and if I delete a row in Table B, I want it to also delete child rows in Table D.

SQL sees this as cyclical, because if I delete a row in table A, both table B and table C would try to delete their child rows in table D.

Ok, so I thought, no biggie, I'll just use delete triggers. So I created delete triggers that will delete child rows in table B and table C when deleting a row in table A. Then I created triggers in both Table B and Table C that would delete child rows in Table D.

When I try to delete a row in table A, B or C, I get the error "Delete Statement Conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE". This does not make sense to me, can anyone explain? I have a trigger in place that should be deleting the child rows before it attempts to delete the parent row...isn't that the whole point of delete triggers?????

This is an example of my delete trigger:

CREATE TRIGGER [DeleteA] ON A
FOR DELETE
AS
Delete from B where MeetingID = ID;
Delete from C where MeetingID = ID;

And then Table B and C both have delete triggers to delete child rows in table D. But it never gets to that point, none of the triggers execute because the above error happens first.

So if I then go into the relationships, and deselect the option for "Enforce relationship for INSERTs and UPDATEs" these triggers all work just fine. Only problem is that now I have no referential integrity and I can simply create unrestrained child rows that do not reference actual foreign keys in the parent table.

So the question is, how do I maintain referential integrity and also have the database delete child rows, keeping in mind that the cascading deletes will not work because of the multiple cascade paths (which are certainly required).

Hope this makes sense...
Thanks,
Josh

Delete Syntax To Delete A Record From One Table If A Matching Value Isn't Found In Another

Nov 17, 2006

I'm trying to clean up a database design and I'm in a situation to where two tables need a FK but since it didn't exist before there are orphaned records.

Tables are:

Brokers and it's PK is BID

The 2nd table is Broker_Rates which also has a BID table.

I'm trying to figure out a t-sql statement that will parse through all the recrods in the Broker_Rates table and delete the record if there isn't a match for the BID record in the brokers table.

I know this isn't correct syntax but should hopefully clear up what I'm asking

DELETE FROM Broker_Rates

WHERE (Broker_Rates.BID <> Broker.BID)

Thanks

How To Run Delete Query / Delete Several Rows Just By One Click ?

Feb 16, 2008

I'm using SqlDataSource and an Access database. Let's say I got two tables:user: userID, usernamemessage: userID, messagetextLet's say a user can register on my website, and leave several messages there. I have an admin page where I can select a user and delete all of his messages just by clicking one button.What would be the best (and easiest) way to make this?Here's my suggestion:I have made a "delete query" (with userID as parameter) in MS Access. It deletes all messages of a user when I type in the userID and click ok.Would it be possible to do this on my ASP.net page? If yes, what would the script look like?(yes, it is a newbie question)

Allow Single Row Delete From A Table But Not Bulk Delete

Sep 16, 2013

The requirement is: I should allow single row delete from a table but not bulk delete. An audit table should get updated if there is any single delete or single update. So I wrote the triggers as follows: for single and bulk delete

ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[TRG_Delete_Bulk_tbl_attendance]
ON [dbo].[tbl_attendance]
AFTER DELETE
AS

[code]...

When I try to run the website, the database error I am getting is:Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates that a COMMIT or ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement is missing. Previous count = 0, current count = 1.

Delete Doesn't Delete Rows, But @@ROWCOUNT Says It Did

Aug 20, 2007

I ran the following query in Query Analyzer on a machine running SQL Server 2000. I'm attempting to delete from a linked server running SQL Server 2005:

DELETE FROM sql2005.production.dbo.products
WHERE vendor='Foo'
AND productId NOT IN
(
SELECT productId FROM sql2000.staging.dbo.fooProductList
)

The status message (and @@ROWCOUNT) told me 8 rows were affected, but nothing was actually deleted; when I ran a SELECT with the same criteria as the DELETE, all 8 rows are still there. So, once more I tried the DELETE command. This time it told me 7 rows were affected; when I ran the SELECT again, 5 of the rows were still there. Finally, after running this exact same DELETE query 5 times, I was able to remove all 8 rows. Each time it would tell me that a different number of rows had been deleted, and in no case was that number accurate.

I've never seen anything like this before. Neither of the tables involved were undergoing any other changes. There's no replication going on, or anything else that should introduce any delays. And I run queries like this all day, involving every thinkable combination of 2000 and 2005 servers, that don't give me any trouble.

Does anyone have suggestions on what might cause this sort of behavior?

Cannot Amend Or Delete Subscription And Cannot Delete Report.

Nov 20, 2007



Hi,

I have a problem with one report on my server. A user has requested that I exclude him from receiving a timed email subscription to several reports. I was able to amend all the subscriptions except one. When I try to remove his email address from the subscription I receive this error:

An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help







For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors


Online no help couldn't offer any advice at all, so I thought I'd just delete the subscription and recreate it again, but I receive the same message. "Okay, no problem, I'll just delete the report and redeploy it and set up the subscription so all the other users aren't affected", says I. "Oh, no!", says the report server, and then it give me this message:





System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Only members of sysadmin role are allowed to update or delete jobs owned by a different login. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.FinishExecuteReader(SqlDataReader ds, RunBehavior runBehavior, String resetOptionsString) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteReaderTds(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream, Boolean async) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream, String method, DbAsyncResult result) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(DbAsyncResult result, String methodName, Boolean sendToPipe) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.InstrumentedSqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.DBInterface.DeleteObject(String objectName) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.RSService._DeleteItem(String item) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.RSService.ExecuteBatch(Guid batchId) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005.ExecuteBatch() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---



What's even weirder is that I'm the owner and creator of the report and I'm a system admin and content manager on the report server and I set up the subscription when the report was initially deployed. Surely I should have sufficient rights to fart around with this subscription/report as I see fit?

I have rebooted the server, redeployed the report, checked credentials on the data source and tried amending and deleting from both the report manager and management studio but still I am prevented from doing so.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Delete From Vs Delete With Subquery In Transaction

Feb 23, 2006

First, this is not my code.

This one is weird and I am missing something fundamental on this one. A developer was getting a timeout with this...


CREATE PROCEDURE p_CM_DeleteBatch
(
@SubmitterTranID VARCHAR(50)
)

I applied a couple of indices and got ride of the uncorrelated subqueries

BEGIN

END
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON

GO


Suddenly this constraint was being violated with the change


ALTER TABLE [dbo].[ClaimsReceivedPayorServices] ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_ClaimsReceivedPayorServices_CLAIMSRECEIVEDPAYOR S] FOREIGN KEY
(
[ClmRecdPyID]
) REFERENCES [CLAIMSRECEIVEDPAYORS] (
[CLMRECPYID]
)


Is the delete on ClaimsReceivedPayors starting before the delete on ClaimsreceivedPayorServices finishes? If so why would it matter between the join and subquery? This one is making me depressed because I can not explain it.

To Delete Or Not To Delete - DESIGN ISSUE!

Apr 3, 2008

Hi all

Need some advice solving a little problem I have with my database!

Current setup:

I have a person table that is made up of 39 columns. I also allow for person records to be deleted but I do this by having another table I call LogicallyDeletedrecords. This table is made up of the PersonId, Reason for deletion/suppression and a date time stamp. To access Live records I created a view based on my Person table which contains a WHERE clause to exclude records that exist in the LogicallyDeletedrecords. Similarly, I have another view DeadPersonData which contains Person records that have been removed. Hope it all makes sense so far! Now on to my worries!

The problem:

My Person table contains 9+ million records. The LogicallyDeletedrecords table has 500k+ but I anticipate further growth over the coming weeks/months. My worry is that my LivePersonData view will be too slow to access as my LogicallyDeletedrecords table grows. What’s more, as part of my Load routine, I have to make sure that Person data loaded on to the system is excluded if that same person exists as a deleted member. Both of these actions could slow down my system as the deleted table grows.

My thoughts:

I’ve been thinking of physically deleting dead Person records from my person table (possibly creating an archive table to hold them). But then if I delete them how do I cross check the details when new Person details get loaded?! As I said, my current LogicallyDeletedrecords table holds the PersonId, ReasonDeleted and CreationStamp. The only way is to add further columns which I use to match Person Details?

Any design suggestions would be welcome!

Soft Delete In Table, Why Merge Agent Report Hards Delete On Table ?

Feb 1, 2007

Hi seniors

there are two tables involve in replication let say table1 and replicated table is also rep.table1.

we are not deleting records physically in table1 so only a bit in table1 has true when u want to delete a record but the strange thing is that replication agaent report that this is hard delete operation on table1 so download and report hard delete operation and delete the record in replicated table which is very crucial.

plz let me know where am i wrong and how i put it into right way.

there is no triggers on published tables and noother trigger is created on published table.

Please Help With Complex (for Me) Sql Statement

Sep 3, 2006

I need some help on how to structure a sql statement. I am creating a membership directory and I need the stored procedure to output the Last Name, First Name (and if married) Spouse First Name. Like this Flinstone, Fred & Wilma All members are in one directory linked by two fields. [Family ID] all the family members have the same family id and then there is a Family position id that shows if they are the Husband, Wife or Kids. I have no problem with this part select (LastName + ',' + FirstName) as Name, [Phone 1] as Phone, [Unit Name] as WD, [Street 1] as Street, SUBSTRING(City,1,3) as City, SUBSTRING(Postal,1,5) as Zipfrom Membership Where [HH Order]=1 Order By LastName ASC Could someone help me on how to display the " & Spouse FirstName " as part of the name field only if there is a spouse [HH Order]=2 for the current [Family ID]????

Complex Use Of Apostrophes

Dec 1, 2006

Hello,
could someone help with this query in a stored proc.?
SET @SQL = 'SET ''' + @avgwgt + ''' = '
'(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN (' + @cagearray + ')
and ItemDate =''' + CONVERT(varchar(23),@startdate) + ''')'
EXEC @SQL
I'm trying to get an average value across  dynamically selected rows. (I'm using a list array to deliver the selection to the stored proc). I need to re-use the average value within the procedure,so it's not enough to output it as a column of the resultset - EG. 'Select AVG(AverageWeight) as AvgWgt' .  If I take out the @avgwgt line it works fine, but otherwise I'm getting this error:
"Incorrect syntax near '(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN ('."
It may be that I can access a column of the resultset in the rest of the procedure, and that would help avoid the use of pesky apostrophes, but I don't know how to do it.

Very Complex Query

Mar 19, 2007

I'm sure there is a way of cracking this, but I can't think of a good solution. Right now I am not happy with the solutions I come up with, one of which takes 4 minutes to run on SQL Server
The scenario: User is presented with search page where one or more search terms can be entered/selected. There are no required parameters. It can be any or all of the possibilities presented. Below is a model of the search parameters presented.
The user will either select to show more options under Profile ABC, or go down to Profile STU or Profile XYZ to show more options, or even select all Profiles and then select from Type 1 and either a. or. b. or. c. or ALL of the above.
I cannot predict what a user will make part of the search query so I have to have a stored procedure ready which can handle any or all of the parameters  a user may select.
Am I biting off more than I can chew (it seems so)? Or is there an elegant way of handling the unknown combination of search parameters that a user might throw into my sql query?
I'm running this under ASP 1.0 and SQL Server 2000.
 
[check to show the options below] Profile ABC
[check to shore more options] Type 1




A. Contains fields for entering another data string and selecting from drop-down boxes
B. ditto
C. ditto
D. ditto
[check to show more options] Type 2





A. Contains fields for entering another data string and selecting from drop-down boxes
B. ditto
C. ditto
D. ditto
[check to show more options] Type 3





A. Contains fields for entering another data string and selecting from drop-down boxes




B. ditto
C. ditto
D. ditto
[check to select more options] Type 4





A. Contains fields for entering another data string and selecting from drop-down boxes
B. ditto
C. ditto
D. ditto
[check to show more options] Profile XYZ (as above)
[check to select more options] Profile STU (as above)

Need Help With Complex Script

Sep 7, 2007

I'm working on a system that used to load control dynamically into a table structure based on "Row" and "Column" properties in the item object.
The system is now being revamped, and instead of a table structure, it's being loaded into a list, which will be controled by css. The new relevant variables are "Sequence" and "Width."
Since there are already thousands of existing items in the database, I have to write a script that can take a really good guess at legacy items' Row and Col, and input values for Sequence and Width.
 Since all items exist on "tabs," I can query for all items on a given tabID, Ordered By Row, Col -- that will give me a sequence.
Width isn't literal, it has 6 presets: Whole, Half, Third, Quarter, Two Thirds, Three Quarters, represented in the table as 0,1,2,3,4,5 -- for our purposes, I'll assume that all items on a row are equal in width. We can determine width by figuring out the number of items within the same row, so if there is only one in the row, it's a Whole (0), if there are three in the row it'll be a Third (2), etc.
 
I'd like to create a query that gets all items by tab, assigns the appropriate sequence, and figures out how many items are in the row with a given item, to assign the correct width.... but I have no idea how to make t-sql do that. I don't mind multiple queries to get the whole process done, and it doesn't need to be efficient -- this is a one-off script to run to give legacy items values that we can work with.
Where would I start?

Complex Query?

Feb 8, 2005

I have 2 tables, say table1, and table2. There is a DocID (primary key) in table1. In table2, DocID is the foriegn key. There can be more than 1 DocID.

this is the table structure (sample)

Table 1:
DocID DocName OtherID etc
1 test 2
2 test2 3

Table2:
TblID DocID OtherID
1 1 10
2 1 13
3 1 25

how do I join these two tables, such that I get all the otherID's for each DocID.
ie.,
DocID OtherID
1 2 and 10 and 13 and 25
2 3

i am writing this query to display search results on a search page (with keyword search) and so, if I display the result in more than one row, then the user might think that there is more than document...whereas the case is that there is only one document with more than one other ID's.

is there any way I can do this? display...more than 1otherID in the same row for the same DociD?
Currently, I am using a left outer join of table1 and table2.

An suggestions on how to do this?

Complex Query

Apr 11, 2003

Hi,

I need a way to retrieve records from a table with a 30 min interval between the records.

For e.g., Lets say I have the following data in a table :-

userid hitdt
1 4/1/2003 10:00 AM
1 4/1/2003 10:15 AM
1 4/1/2003 10:31 AM
1 4/1/2003 11:10 AM
1 4/1/2003 11:30 AM
1 4/1/2003 11:41 AM

I need a query which would return me the following recordset :-

userId hitId
1 4/1/2003 10:00 AM
1 4/1/2003 10:31 AM
1 4/1/2003 11:10 AM
1 4/1/2003 11:41 AM

Is there a way to do this without using a cursor ?

Thanks

Complex Join

Sep 7, 2003

table_a has patient_id, tran_id and other fields a,b,c
table_b has patient_id,tran_id, key_id
and other fileds d,e,f
table_a patien_id + tran_id is unique
table_b patient_id + tran_id is not unique, could be duplicated.

I have to create a query which will retrieve fields from table a a,b,c and fields d,e from table b where
table a. patient_id + tran_id =
tableb.patient_id + tran_id and table_b.key_id is the min key_id for that patient_id + tran_id.

I should retrieve just one record.

How would I be able to do that?

Please help!!

Thanks
