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.
(I know distinct)
Thanks in advance.

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
----------- --------- ----------- ------------ -----------------------------

I have a stored procedure that returns a single row based on a parameter of employee ID. This particular procedure uses a CTE to traverse our org structure. One of the columns is returning a delimited string of Windows login values and due to the business rules, it can contain duplicate values. I need to have that column contain only unique values - no dupes.
For example, this one column could contain something like this:
domainuser1;domainuser2;domainuser2;domainuser 3;
The need is to convert to this:
domainuser1;domainuser2;domainuser3;
I know that's a tall order.
I need write a query for removing duplicates, for Example in my table I have columns
A_ID name id
1 sam 10
2 sam 10
3 sam 10
4 sam 10
5 ccc 15
6 ccc 15
7 ccc 15
8 fff 20
9 fff 20
10 fff 20
So now I have duplicates values in id column so now I need to take only one value of each and delete the remaining. I need to take first id value 10,15,20 so only 3 rows should be there in my table.
Hi,
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
Please advise,
Thanks,

I have a table that holds the following
1 7530568 87143 OESCHD 1/5/2006 6:31:58 AM
1 7530568 87143 OESCHD 1/5/2006 7:02:36 AM
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.
Any help would be apreciated.
Hi There,
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?
Thanks in advance for the help.

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...

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've to generate a notepad using this query in vb.net :
strSql = "Select count(*), d.ShareholderId, d.UsufructId, d.BnkAccount, b.SBMCode, " & _
"LTRIM(ISNULL(d.TitleCode + ' ', '')) + LTRIM(ISNULL(d.Forename + ' ', '')) + d.Surname as ShName," & _
"d.BankCode, (select count(*) from (select ShareholderId from dividend " & _
"where CompCode = 'L1' and PaymentMode = 'B' group by ShareholderId, UsufructId, " & _
[Code]....
In the select statement i need to select "d.amount" as well. When i do so, it ask me to insert it in the group by option or in an aggregate function.
Grouping by "d.amount" returns extra field as there can be 2 similar "d.shareholderId" but with different amount.
how to group the "d.amount" without having repetition in the "d.shareholderid" ??
I have regular work that requires me to extract a bunch of customer records from our database, and then remove duplicate address destinations (so we dont mail the same address more than once).
I can currently achieve this using a combination of my poor SQL skills and Excel, but it's really not working out for me, so looking for SQL wizardry necessary to do it just in SQL.
Relevant fields:
Member.AddressBarcode (This is a unique barcode (Text representation of a base-3 number) based on the customer address. So if there's more than one record in the pulled records with the same barcode, we then look at Member.MemberTypeID to determine whether to include this record in the results or discard it as a duplicate. Note that AddressBarcode may be blank if the mailing address couldn't be validated, if it is blank we don't discard it since there is no easy way to detect duplicate addresses without the barcode)
Member.MemberTypeID (This is the type of member account. We have 3 types - Single, Joint Primary, Joint Secondary, represented in this field by the numbers 1/2/3. This is also the order of preference of who to mail. So if there is a Joint Primary and Joint Secondary with the same mailing barcode, we want to discard the Joint Secondary from the results, so that the Joint Primary is the record we include in the results of who to mail.)
Member.ID (Unique numeric ID for each customer. Kind of irrelevant here, but it's a key)
So some pseudo code for what I'm trying to achieve is:
(Member.MemberTypeID = 1)
OR (Member.MemberTypeID = 2 AND Member.AddressBarcode not in results of Member.MemberTypeID = 1)
OR (Member.MemberTypeID = 3 AND Member.AddressBarcode not in results of Member.MemberTypeID = 2 AND Member.AddressBarcode not in results of Member.MemberTypeID = 1)
I suspect it requires some sort of join...
Hi All,
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!

Plz help me reagrding these two problems.
Thanks in advance for the quick replies.

Hi, Please help me with an SQL Query that fetches all the records from the three tables but a unique record for each forum and topicid with the maximum lastpostdate. Please provide separate solutions for SqlServer2000/2005.
I have four tables namely – Forums,Topics,Threads and Messages in SQL Server2000 (scripts for table creation and insertion of test data given at the end). Now, I have formulated a query as below :-
SELECT Forums.forumid AS ForumID,Topics.topicid AS TopicID,Topics.name AS TopicName,LastPosts.date as LastPostDate,LastPosts.author AS Author,
(select count(threadid) from Threads where Threads.topicid=Topics.topicid) as NoOfThreads
FROM Forums JOIN Topics ON Forums.forumid=Topics.forumid
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(
SELECT Topics.forumid,Threads.topicid,Messages.date,Messages.author FROM Topics
INNER JOIN Threads ON Topics.topicid = Threads.topicid
INNER JOIN Messages ON Threads.threadid=Messages.threadid
WHERE Messages.date=(SELECT MAX(date) FROM Messages WHERE Messages.threadid = Threads.threadid)
) as LastPosts
ON LastPosts.forumid = Topics.forumid AND LastPosts.topicid = Topics.topicid
Whose result set is as below:-
forumid
topicid
name
LastPostDate
author
NoOfThreads

SELECT Topics.forumid AS ForumID,Forums.name AS ForumName,Topics.topicid as TopicID,Topics.name as TopicName,
LastPosts.author AS Author,LastPosts.lastpostdate AS LastPost,
(select count(threadid) from threads where Threads.topicid=Topics.topicid) as NoOfThreads

Hi,Say I have a table Job with columns name, date, salary . I want to getthe name ,date and salary for the date when that person earned maximumsalary. I am using something likeSELECT X.name,X.date,X.salaryFROM job XWHERE X.salary IN(SELECT MAX(Y.salary) FROM job Y where Y.name= X.name);The problem is ; if a person earns maximum salary on two dates, both ofthe dates are printed. I just want to get any one of those two rows.I triedSELECT X.name,Min(X.date),X.salaryFROM job XWHERE X.salary IN(SELECT MAX(Y.salary) FROM job Y where Y.name= X.name);but it gives error.Can anybody please suggest a solution?Regards,Aamir
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have tested the code below to remove duplicate table entries based on the field IntOOS. This code works; however, I want to ensure I am removing the oldest entries and keeping the most recent entry. The field to key on this would be something like Max(ID). What would be the best way to ensure I keep the most recent table entry?

It seems that there should be a solution for my situation, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure it out.
I need to compare two "like" tables, containing similar data. Tbl 1 is "BOOKED" (which is a snapshot of inventory) and tbl 2 is "CURRENT" (the live - working inventory table). If I write my query as follows the the subsequent result is "duplicate" data.
Code Block
SELECT booked.item, booked.bin, booked.quantity, current.bin, current.quantity
FROM BOOKED
LEFT JOIN
CURRENT
ON booked.item = current.item
No matter what type of join I use, there is duplicate data displayed for each table. For example, if there are more bins in the BOOKED table that contain a certain product then the CURRENT table will repeat data and vica versa.
As follows:
Item
Bin
Quantity
Bin
Quantity
12345
A01
500
A01
7680
12345
B01

Y15

Y15
3000
98765
X10
1200
Y15

What I would like to do is display Bin and Quantity only once and the repeating values as NULL or [BLANK]. Or, to display all of the bins from both tables and only the quantities from each table in relation to the bin found in that table, returning a "0" if no quantity exists.
This is what I'm after:
Item
Bin
Quantity
Bin
Quantity
12345
A01
500

7680
12345

Is this possible? If so, how?
I also might add that it is ok for each table to contain multiple entries for any given item. This is basically being requested as an inventory variance report - inventory before physical count and immediatly after physical count - and will only be run once a year.
-----------------------------------------------
Just thinking out loud here:
What if I created three subqueries, the first containing only BOOKED information, the second containing only CURRENT information and the third being a UNION of both tables? Something like this:
Code Block
SELECT q3.bin, q1.item, ISNULL(q1.quantity, 0) as QTY_BEFORE, ISNULL(q2.quantity, 0) as QTY_AFTER
FROM
(select item, bin, quantity
from BOOKED)q1
Left Join
(select item, bin, quantity
from CURRENT)q2
on q1.item = q2.item
Left Join
(select bin, item
from BOOKED
UNION
CURRENT)q3
on q1.item = q3.item
Order By q1.item
I don't know if I wrote the UNION statement correctly, but I will have to try this when I get back to work...
Any suggestions?
I have a table in which a non-primary key column has a unique index on it.
If I am inserting a record into this table with a duplicate column value for the indexed column, then what will be the error number of the error in above scenario? OR How could I find this out?
I have a table called exchange and field called address. The rows(1400+) in the field look like:
MS:VA/Celcmv/VHACLEADAM%SMTP:Doe.Jane@med.va.gov%X200:c=US;a= ;p=av;o=Celcmv;s=Doe;g=Jane;
How do I remove everything to the left of doe.jane@med.va.gov and everything to the right of doe.jane@med.va.gov using query analyzer? Thank you in advance...
