Below is a snippet of MS SQL inside some VB that retieves
Commodity info such as product names and related information and returns the results in an ASP Page. My problem is that with certain searches, elements returned in the synonym field repeat. For instance, on a correct search I get green, red, blue, and yellow which is correct. On another similar search with different commodity say for material, I get Plastic, Glass,Sand - Plastic, Glass,Sand - Plastic, Glass, Sand. I want to remove the repeating elements returned in this field. IOW, I just need one set of Plastic, Glass and Sand. I hope this makes sense.
Below is the SQL and the results from the returned page.
PS I tried to use distinct but with no luck I want just one of each in the example below.
Thanks in Advance!

I'm extracting data from a log (log_history) of patients where nurses perform various actions on a call, such as assessing and reassessing, despatching etc. This is the script:
Select L.URN, LH.THE_TIMESTAMP, LH.ACTION_TYPE, LH.ACTION_BY, LH.ACTION_REQD, LH.NOTE, em.position_type_ref From LOG L Join Log_history LH on (L.URN = LH.LOG_URN) left outer join employee em on (em.code = LH.action_by) Where (L.Taken_at >= :DateFrom and L.Taken_at <= :DateTo) and (LH.ACTION_TYPE = 'D') and (em.position_type_ref ='NU')
Order By L.URN ASC, LH.THE_TIMESTAMP DESC
The result I get shows duplicate 'timestamp' entries and I only want to return unique timestamp entries. Does anyone have any ideas. I'm self taught and have hit a wall
I have an application that allows the user to enter data into a table. There are multiple users so I put in some code that, I thought, would keep 2 users from creating a new record at the same time. The IDs for the records are identical and this is causing a problem.
The IDs are in the format of ####-mmyy. at the start of each month the #### part goes back to 1.
We tried a test today where we had 2 users click on the New button at exactly the same time. The IDs that were created were identical. Is there anyway on the database that I can prevent this from happening?
Here is how I create the new record id:
I get the MAX(ID) from the table I add 1 to the ID and then insert a new record with the new ID into the table.
I have an issue where certain parts of data are repeated several times after i create my query. Without providing my SQL code for now could anyone suggest possibly the main reason(s) for data being duplicated?
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!
Hi. I have a table with Login and Logoff Time of users, but there could be duplicate Logtimes in the dataset, but for different products. Because of this I cant do a distinct in the dataset. I need the Product and some other details in my Report.
I tried to make two datasets. One for the Select distinct and one for the other.
But the Problem is: in my report, I need a table, where I make the Sum of the Logintime a day and in another column I calculate with data from the other dataset.(Logtime + data from dataset2). But this doesnt work, so I think, that is it not possible to join 2 dataset in one table.
Hi! I am joining 3 tables in SQL , I am getting the results I want exept it's duplicated. So the resultinmg table fom my stored procedure has 3 rows that have the same bulletin. How do I filter the storedprocedure to output only the rows that don't have duplicate entries for the column 'Bulletin' Thanks. Here is my stored procedure:PROCEDURE [dbo].[spGetCompBulletins] @Userid uniqueidentifier OUTPUT,@DisplayName varchar(200)
AS
SELECT * FROM dbo.UserProfile INNER JOIN dbo.bulletins ON dbo.UserProfile.UserId = dbo.bulletins.Userid INNER JOINdbo.Associations ON dbo.Associations.BusinessID = dbo.bulletins.Userid WHERE UserProfile.DisplayName=@DisplayName and Userprofile.Userid = @Userid ORDER BY Bulletins.Bulletin_Date Return
Hi all.. I've been scouring the forums for about 6 hours to no avail. This is a really simple question. I'm trying to have a registration page that lets the user input name, email, desired username, and password. I want to check the username and email fields to make sure ppl cannot sign up twice. So from what I've gathered I have a couple of options:
1) i can set up a unique constraint on the database columns, 2) i can run a select statement before inserting, 3) i can store the whole database column in a variable then search through it.
My question is how to do option 2? All of my transactions are through a sqldatasource object in c#.
Yet another simple query that is eluding me. I need to find records in a table that have the same first name and last name. Because the table has a primaty key, these people were entered twice or they share the same first and last name.
How could you query this:
ID fname lname 10001 Bill Jones 10002 Joe Smith 10003 Sue Jenkins 10004 John Sanders 10005 Joe Smith 10006 Harrold Simpson 10007 Sue Jenkins 10008 Sam Worden
and get a result set of this:
ID fname lname 10002 Joe Smith 10005 Joe Smith 10003 Sue Jenkins 10007 Sue Jenkins
Hi I am trying to insert entries in a table which has a composite primary key and i am inserting it on UID basis.
INSERT INTO TABLE_B (TABLE_B_UID,NUM_MIN, NUM_MAX,BIN, REGN_CD, PROD_CD, CARD) (SELECT UID,LEFT(NUM_MIN,16),LEFT(NUM_MAX,16),BIN, REGN_CD, PROD_CD, CARD FROM TABLE_A WHERE UID NOT IN (SELECT TABLE_B_UID FROM TABLE B))
When i insert it tries to insert a duplicate entries and gives me an error. Since I am new to SQL SERVER 2000 i need some help. I tried IF NOT EXISTS, EXCEPT but i guess i am wrong at the syntax.
I have a table with no primary key and i just want to see all the duplicate entries on the basis of two columns. Can anyone suggest me how should i go about it.
Can anyone provide me the syntax for the same? I have only 1 table say ISSR_TBL and two columns using which i want to delete the duplicate ones. i.e. MIN and MAX.
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
Here is my situation. I have a table in my application that pairs users with cars they like. We'll call this table Favorites. A user can browse the site and they can designate as many cars they want as favorites. For example, a user can go to the Honda Accord page and add that as a favorite car and then go to the Toyota Camry page and add that as a favorite car. However, if he/she goes to that Honda Accord page and tries to click the "Add to Favorites" button again, at the present state of my application, it will just add another entry into the Favorites table with a duplicate pairing. So, if I were to datalist the table to generate a listing of all favorites belonging to a certain user, he/she may potentially be returned with superfluous duplicate entries. Not to mention, taking up valuable database space and not looking very professional. In my Favorites table, the 3 fields are.....favoriteId (set as primary key)userIdcarId I've been thinking about this for awhile and I've come up with 2 solutions. I'm a newbie to ASP.NET/programming so I don't have enough insight to make a decision or to even think up of other alternatives. 1) Check proactively by doing a.....SELECT favoriteID FROM Favorites WHERE userId = x and carId = y (where x and y are variables)If I get a null return, it means I can go ahead and let the user add the car as a favorite in the database. If I get a valid value, then it means there already exists the same pairing, so I exit out without updating the table. 2) Check reactively by forcing an exception whenever a user tries to enter a duplicate pairing. I'm not sure how to do this, but perhaps, instead of making "favoriteId" a primary key, perhaps, I can make a primary key pairing of "userId" and "carId". And by trying to do an insert with a primary key that already exists, we know it won't work since primary keys by definition are unique. Now, I expect some concurrent users on my site, so I must take into consideration pros and cons of each and determine which is more efficient. Checking proactively will force a check even if the table does not contain a duplicate pairing of user and car. However, having a duplicate primary key may be more expensive from a database point of view and may slow down lookups, etc. Or maybe neither has significant benefits, in which case, I rather go with proactive, since I've already coded it and it works fine. Or maybe there is a third alternative, which I did not think. Which method do programmers usually take and which is a better practice? TIA for your help.
Someone ran an update statement multiple times so their are multiple entries in the table. What is the quickest way to track down the multiple entries? I would only want to see where timein and timeoff exist in the table multiple times for the same id. So this would be a duplicate
What is the best way to compare two entries in a single table wherethe two fields are "almost" the same?For example, I would like to write a query that would compare thefirst two words in a "company" field. If they are the same, I wouldlike to output them.For example, "20th Century" and "20th Century Fox" in the companyfield would be the same.How do I do this? Do I need to use a cursor? Is it as simple as using"Like?"
I am using Sql Server 2000. I have a customer table with fields - CustId, Name, Address, City, StdCode, Phone. I used to insert entries in this table from an excel file. One excel file will contain thousands of customer. In this table combination of StdCode and Phone should not be repeated. If I do it in my VB.Net coding.then application gets drastically slow. So I want to write a procedure or trigger for this. Here what I will do, I will send all records into database then this trigger or procedure will check for any existing entry of combination of StdCode and phone. If entry exists then this will delete new entry or will not allow this new entry. Is this possible to do using Trigger or stored procedure?
How can I delete duplicate entries from tables in my database using Query Analyzer, as there are many duplicate entries in my tables, I want to delete them.
I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer.
When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12
There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 12
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I have duplicated this error with the following script:
USE [testing]
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users1]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users2]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users3]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database.
I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key.
Hi all, I have one table in which one column contains duplicate values. My question is how i can use T-SQL so that i can retrive values for all columns in the table which are distinct and retriving the single value from column which contains duplicate values.
Please give the DML to SELECT the rows avoiding the duplicate rows. Since there is a text column in the table, I couldn't use aggregate function, group by (OR) DISTINCT for processing.
Table :
create table test(col1 int, col2 text) go insert into test values(1, 'abc') go insert into test values(2, 'abc') go insert into test values(2, 'abc') go insert into test values(4, 'dbc') go

for each 7530568 ordernumber there should only be one OESCHD status.
This is the query I'm using to insert the data sent to me.
INSERT INTO ORDER_EVENTS SELECT d.division as division, dt.orderNum as orderNum, dt.poNum as poNum, dt.statusCode as statusCode, dt.statusChangeDate as statusChangeDate FROM dt_Order_Events dt INNER JOIN division d ON dt.division = d.divisionShort INNER JOIN status s ON s.division = d.division AND s.statCode = dt.statusCode WHERE directive <> 'C' AND dt.orderNum IN (SELECT orderNum FROM ORDER_HEADER)
This works fine when used with in the hourly transactional update. But When I ran it for the Bulk UpDate (so we'd have historical data) it allowed orders to have statuses to many times.
I am not a SQL guru, I have no idea how to write a sql statement or stored proc that will remove the duplicate records. or how to change what I have to prevent further ones.
I am having a 1st listbox which is populating production lines, 2nd combobox to populate the production units. From here , the user will be able to select multiple production units from the combobox and hence populate the variable in listbox 3.
This is the query that I'm using to query on the variable table: 'SELECT DISTINCT PU_Id,Var_Id,Var_Desc from Variables where PU_Id IN (@ProductionUnits)'
The problem now is that this would return all the variables for the selected production units and for those variables that have the same name, they would appear in the listbox as duplicates.
I wonder if there's any way to filter off or remove the duplicates in the listbox 3 by using sql query?
Hi, I have results from a survey in a table, every entry is assigned a unique ID. I want to remove duplicate entries based on the survey data but not on the unique ID (obviously). So far I have...SELECT DISTINCT RespondantID, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9, Q10, Q11, Q12, Q13 FROM Results But that gives...
1 - Anonymous 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
2 - Anonymous 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
3 - Martin 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 I.e. in the above example, it would seem that 'Martin' submitted his data once and then submitted it again with his name. How can I remove the '2 - Anonymous' frrom the data set? Thanks!
I am trying to get people from my table that have closed accounts. However, in my table many people have more than one account. They will have multiple closed accounts and some active accounts. I need to get the people with only closed accounts.
Values in the table
Code: name surname status Closed Number ----------- --------- ----------- ------------- ---------------------------- Jeff Burns closed 2012/01/01 142 Tina Drewmor closed 2008/05/20 546 Jeff Burns active 1900/01/01 354 Kyle Higgin active 1900/01/01 851 Tina Drewmor closed 2009/04/14 154
The query I am using so far is:
Code: select d.name, d.surname, s.status, s.closed, s.number from d d inner join s s on d.number = s.number where s.status = 'closed'
What I need to see in the results
Code: name surname status Closed Number ----------- --------- ----------- ------------ ----------------------------- Tina Drewmor closed 2008/05/20 546 Tina Drewmor closed 2009/04/14 154
