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 client who needs to copy an existing sale. The problem isthe Sale is made up of three tables: Sale, SaleEquipment, SaleParts.Each sale can have multiple pieces of equipment with correspondingparts, or parts without equipment. My problem in copying is when I goto copy the parts, how do I get the NEW sale equipment ids updatedcorrectly on their corresponding parts?I can provide more information if necessary.Thank you!!Maria

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
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource3" runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LocalSqlServer %>"SelectCommand="SELECT Product.Product.productid,Product.Product.catid,Product.Product.name,Product.Product.smalltext,Product.Product.longtext,Product.Product.price,Product.ProductSpecial.saleprice, Product.ProductSpecial.feature,Product.ProductImage.imgId, Product.ProductImage.imgUrlFROM Product.ProductINNER JOIN Product.ProductSpecialON Product.ProductSpecial.productid = Product.Product.productidINNER JOIN Product.ProductImageON Product.Product.imgid = Product.ProductImage.imgId"></asp:SqlDataSource>
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
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

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

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

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)

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

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

Is there a way to check if duplicates exists in the incoming textfiles????
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?
Thanks,

Dear All,
I need to identify duplicate records in a table. TableA [ id, firstname, surname] Id like to see records that may be duplicates, meaning both firstname and surname are the same and would like to know how many times they appear in the table
Im not sure how to write this query, can someone help? Thanks in advance!
Hi guys how do you hide duplicate records, how would I do a select statement for that
In (SELECT [AccountNo] FROM [2006_CheckHistory] As Tmp GROUP BY [AccountNo] HAVING Count(*)>1 )
I have about had it with this database I have been asked to make a report out of
This is part of my trigger on table T1. I am trying to check if the records inserted to T1 is available in myDB.dbo.myTable or not (destination table). If it is available rollback T1. It does not do that although I insert the same records twice.
-- duplicate record check
SET @step = 'Duplicate record'
IF EXISTS (
SELECT i.myID, i.Type
FROM INSERTED i INNER JOIN
myDB.dbo.myTable c ON i.myID = c.myID
GROUP BY i.myID, i.Type
HAVING (COUNT(*) > 1) AND (i.Type = 'In')
)
BEGIN
ROLLBACK transaction
RAISERROR('Error: step: %s. rollback is done.', 16, 1, @step)
Return
END
What is problem?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn order to check that a new users ID does not already exist in the database I thought it would be a good idea to put the Insert into a Try Catch statement so that I can test for the duplicate record exception and inform the user accordingly. I was also trying to avoid querying the data base before executing the Insert.
The problem is what to actually test for. When the code throws the exception it is a big long string . .
"Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Users_2__51'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'Users'"
I just thought that there has to be something simplar to test for than comparing the exception to the above string.
Can anyone tell me of a better way of doing this ?
(by the way I am only using Web Matrix and MSDE in case it matters)

I am working on a web application that utilizes a sql server database. One of the tables is a large text file that is imported through a DTS package from a Unix server. For whatever reason, the Unix box dumps quite a few duplicate records in the nightly run and these are in turn pulled into the table. I need to get rid of these duplicates, but can't seem to get a workable solution. the query that is needed to get the records is:SELECT tblAppointments.PatientID, tblPTDEMO2.MRNumber, tblAppointments.PatientFirstName, tblAppointments.PatientLastName, tblAppointments.PatientDOB, tblAppointments.PatientSex, tblAppointments.NewPatient, tblAppointments.HomePhone, tblAppointments.WorkPhone, tblAppointments.Insurance1, tblPTDEMO2.Ins1CertNmbr, tblAppointments.Insurance2, tblPTDEMO2.Ins2CertNmbr, tblAppointments.Insurance3, tblPTDEMO2.Ins3CertNmbr, tblAppointments.ApptDate, tblAppointments.ApptTimeFROM tblAppointments CROSS JOIN tblPTDEMO2WHERE (tblAppointments.PatientID = tblPTDEMO2.MRNumber)AND tblAppointments.Insurance1 = 'MED'AND tblAppointments.ApptTypeID <> 'MTG'AND tblAppointments.ApptTypeID <> 'PNV'AND DateDiff("dd", ApptDate, GetDate()) = 0Order By tblAppointments.ApptDateMy first thought was to try to get a Select DISTINCT to work, but couldn't figure out how to do this with the query. My next thought was to try to set up constraints on the table, but, since there are duplicates, the DTS package fails. I assume there is a way to set up the transformations in a way to get this to work, but I'm not enough of an expert with SQL Server to figure this out on my own. I guess the other way to do this is to write some small script or application to do this, but I suspect there must be an easier way for those who know what they are doing. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I'm working on updating and normalizing an old database, and I have some duplicate records that I can't seem to get rid of. Every column is identical, right down to what is supposed to be the key. I can't right a delete query to just isolate one row, and I can't delete (or even udpate) any row in management studio. Any thoughts on how to remove the extra rows?
There is a field that's supposed to be unique, so I can write a simple query to get all of the problem rows. The only thing is that they come back in pairs.
hi to all,
How to delete duplicate record in the recordset?
