Is there a way to check if duplicates exists in the incoming textfiles????
Hi
I have a data in one table like below.
EDITION PRODUCT INSERTDATE
---------- ------------ ----------------------
CNE TN-Town News 12/19/2007 12:00:00 AM
TN TN-Town News 12/19/2007 12:00:00 AM
What i have to do is if there are multiple records for one product in any day, then i need to remove all those records. In this case i am getting two records for the PRODUCT 'TN-Town News' and for INSERTDATE = 12/19/2007 . So i need to remove these two records from the table.
How to do that?. Can anybody help me?
Thanks

I have a table that "Geography" that has the following columns: city, state, zip
There are tons of duplicate cities in this table. I ran this query and it shows me the number of occurrences of each city. I want to delete all the duplicates except for 1. I don't want to do this manually as there are a lot of records.
What would the SQL look like to delete the duplicate records but keep at least one?
I have a requirement where i want to delete the records based on the Date column. I have table which contain the columns like machinename ,lasthardwarescandate
I want to delete the records based on the max(Lasthardwarescandate) i.e. latest one, column where the machine name is duplicate menace it repeats. So how would i remove the duplicate machine names based on the Lasthardwarescandate column(There are multiple entries for the Lasthardwarescandate so i want to fetch the latest date column).
Note: Duplication should be removed based on “Last Hardware Scan” date.
Only latest date should be considered from multiple records for the same system. "
Here is my sample data
Input text file:
"Name" "25" "00/00/00"
When i store the data in the database it get's stored with " " just the way it looks above
Expected output:I want to remove " " surrounding data.How do i remove???
eg: Name 25 00/00/00
Please let me know
thanks

I am a newb at ms sql and was hoping someone could help me
eliminate duplicate PRODUCT.PRODUCT from this statement. I have tried using DISTINCT with the same results.The ProductImage table is causing this because
the duplicates are from the PRODUCT.PRODUCT that have more than 1 image.
If anyone could rewrite this statement so I can learn from this, it would
be most appreciated!
Thank you for your time

i'm a newbie to sql , anyone can give me suggestions on how to
remove duplicate records in a table, a table also has primary key,
thanks
I have a query that for one reason or another produces duplicate information in the result set. I have tried using DISTINCT and GROUP BY to remove the duplicates but because of the nature of the data I cannot get this to work, here is an example fo the data I am working with
ID Name Add1 Add2
1 Matt 16 Nowhere St Glasgow
1 Matt 16 Nowhere St Glasgow, Scotland
2 Jim 23 Blue St G65 TX
3 Bill 45 Red St
3 Bill 45 red St London
The problem is that a user can have one or more addresses!! I would like to be able to remove the duplicates by keeping the first duplicate ID that appears and getting rid of the second one. Any ideas?
Cheers
Below is a raw data with SQL script to create the temp table. This table is a scale down version of what I am working with. I am taking the addresses from several different sources and putting them in a temp table. Now, I need to remove the duplicate addresses for each ID. Duplicate addresses are okay for different IDs.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a table containing over 100,000 email addresses. This email table gets duplicates in it, and our customers don't want a second (or third or fourth) copy of our news letter. To prevent this, we run the following SQL to kill the duplicates:
Code Snippet
DELETE FROM _email WHERE _email.eid IN
(
SELECT tbl1.eid FROM _email AS tbl1 WHERE Exists
(
SELECT emailaddress, Count(eid) FROM _email WHERE _email.emailaddress = tbl1.emailaddress GROUP BY _email.emailaddress HAVING Count(_email.eid) > 1
)
)
AND _email.eid NOT IN
(
SELECT Min(eid) FROM _email AS tbl1 WHERE Exists
(
SELECT emailaddress, Count(eid) FROM _email WHERE _email.emailaddress = tbl1.emailaddress GROUP BY _email.emailaddress HAVING Count(_email.eid) > 1
)
GROUP BY emailaddress
);
This query takes about 2hrs to run which is really hurting our server preformance. Is there any way to do this faster?
I am running SQL Server 2000
Thanks in advance

I found some duplicate data as I was going thru the logic of a data pump. The entire row is not duplicated however.I would like to delete only the one row.
This is a sample of the data:
DECLARE @SomeData TABLE
(
FirstName varchar(25)
, MiddleName varchar(25)
, LastName varchar(25)
, StreetAddress varchar(25)
, Suite varchar(25)
, City varchar(25)
, [State] varchar(25)
, PostalCode varchar(10)

As you can see, Joe Smith has two rows, but only one of the rows is complete. I would like to delete only the row that has a NULL value in the phone and area code for Joe Smith. There are a few thousand rows that are like this. They have duplicates all but the area code and phone number.I am used to using a CTE to remove duplicates, but I am a little lost on this one. The things that I have tried, have not worked exactly as I planned.
Whenever I try to join multiple Tables it will appear in duplicate.
Example:
ID SURNAME NAME SEX DOB
1YAHAYISAMALE05.02.19911NIGERIAKADUNA12 RIMI ROAD
1YAHAYISAMALE05.02.19912USALONDON12 NEW JESSY

I have a database being populated by hits to a program on a server.The problem is each client connection may require a few hits in a 1-2second time frame. This is resulting in multiple database entries -all exactly the same, except the event_id field, which isauto-numbered.I need a way to query the record w/out duplicates. That is, anyrecords exactly the same except event_id should only return one record.Is this possible??Thank you,Barry

Hi guys
I have been using SQL server 2005. I have got a huge table with about 1 million rows.
Problem is this table has got duplicate rows in lot of places. I need to remove the these duplicates. Is there an easy way to do that??
Is there a query in SQL to remove duplicate rows???
thanks

There's some SQL below (T-SQL) & I'm wanting to have this result set
grouped by Venue_ID in order to remove rows where there are duplicate values contained in just one column.
The columns BCOM_ID contain unique values, but Venue_ID can have duplicate
values. I only want to get rows for one instance of the Venue_ID (per
BCOM_ID) - doesn't matter which instance but basically, no duplicates.
Oh yes, one of the columns is a Bit column.
Any ideas would be welcome & appreciated!
Many thanks,
Darren

I have 4 tables (SqlServer2000/2005). In the select query, I have FULL JOINED all the four tables A,B,C,D as I want all the data. The result is as sorted by DDATE desc:-
AID BID BNAME DDATE DAUTHOR
1 1 abcxyz 2008-01-20 23:42:21.610 c@d.com
1 1 abcxyz 2008-01-20 23:41:52.970 a@b.com
1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-21 00:17:14.360 c@d.com
1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-20 23:43:17.110 a@b.com
1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-20 23:42:43.937 a@b.com
1 2 xyzabc NULL NULL
2 3 pqrlmn NULL NULL
2 4 cdefgh NULL NULL
Now, I want unique rows from the above result set like :-
AID BID BNAME DDATE DAUTHOR
1 1 abcxyz 2008-01-20 23:42:21.610 c@d.com
1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-21 00:17:14.360 c@d.com
2 3 pqrlmn NULL NULL
2 4 cdefgh NULL NULL
I want to remove the duplicate rows and show only the unique rows but contains all the data from the first table A. I have to bind this result set to a nested GridView.
I have a dataset in my report that pulls 10 fields. One of the tablixes on report should display only 8 of the 10 fields and this is causing the duplicate records to show up on the tablix.I tried hide duplicates option for the entire details row and have set the scope to "Details". It did not work. I am getting the data from a stored procedure and cannot do much on that.

I have a results table that was created from many different sources in SSIS. I have done calculations and created derived columns in it. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to remove duplicate rows from this table without first writing it to a temp sql table and then parsing through it to remove them.
each row has a like key in a column - I would like to remove like rows keeping specific columns in the resulting row based on the data in this key field.
Ideas?

Guys,
Is there some Transformation or other method to remove outlying records based on an attribute during a Data Flow task?
I have a list of Organizations complete with a list of Products they have bought. I am going to do some data mining / profiling off of this data but first I need to get rid of the top 25% and bottom 25% quantity records by Product. I've looked at Percentage / Row Sampling but they are too simple.
How would this be done in SSIS?
Thanx!
Sincerely,
J'son
Hi all,
RE: Dynamically import textfiles:
I have a C# assembly that scans textfiles in a certain directory residing on the same server as the SQL2005 database server.
The names and directory are retrieved from a configurationtable on the SQLServer.
These textfiles have a header with column information.
The problem is that these headers can change and as a result the table in which to import this data no longer reflects the columnlayout of the header in the textfiles.
I would rather not use xp_cmdshell or bcp utility and would like to create a package that dynamically sets the input and output columns while the rest of the package remains unchanged.
At the moment whenever the header of the textfile has changed the assembly I created drops and recreates an importtable for the textfile. All this runs without a problem.
But if I then import the textfile with the dataflow-object in the existing package I have to reset the columns in the metadata object to reflect the changed columns.
This is easily done by pressing the reset columns button on the design surface in BIDS, but I would like to do this automatically (programmatically).
So what I would like is to load a package (=no problem) and then reset the columns of the textfile source and table-destination in code. The samples I found on the web seem rather obscure to me and I am not sure which way is the preferred way.
Can anyone give me an example of loading a package and then resetting the columns (VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA ReinitializeMetaData ?) of a flatfile-datasource and a SQLServer destination
in code (C#)?
Any help appreciated
Greetings,
Francis
I am transferring data from text file to sql server.I have created .dtsx packages. After the package executes i need to remove the data from the text file or even remove the text files. But i want my package to run it receives new textfile.What do i need to do??Please help????
View 6 Replies View RelatedWe imported approximately 2.9 million records from our mainframe server
into our SQL Server but have run into a problem. The data in a
few of the fields contains both leading and trailing spaces. An
example of the data would be like this, using periods to represent
spaces:
What we have:
..1A02938.....
What we need:
1A02938 (no spaces)
Is there some sort of algorithm I can run on the data to remove
those spaces? The problem is coming up when trying to perform a
SELECT query. We try something like:
SELECT * FROM PCPIPT0 WHERE PANO20 = "1A02938" but we get zero
results because of the spaces in the database. The datatype of
the filed is char(20) because we need some flexibility on the size of
the data stored.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I currently have one table that lists all projects and tasks within the organisation. One of the table fields is the task status, open or closed. I would like to be able to have a process by which the tasks that are completed are removed from the table and placed into another (archive) table. The same records then being removed from the original table. which then only contains the incomplete tasks. This process could be run at given times during the day or at the point when the status of a task is changed from open to closed, either way each time the process is run it would need to append the rows removed into the archive table. Anyone any ideas on the best way to do this?.
Thanks
