Use Select Distinct Statement
Nov 14, 2014
I am new to SQL and am trying to use the Select Distinct statement and am having some issues getting it to work. When I use it on only 1 column it is working fine, but I want to use it on 2 columns it does not do what I expect it to.here is my code:
SELECT *
INTO #NEWTEMP
FROM DBO.REPORTDATA;
ALTER TABLE #NEWTEMP
ALTER COLUMN UTCTime DATE
[code]....
In the results table I have 3 entries for each signalid with the same UTCTime, I only want to have 1

Hey there, is there a way I can use command such as distinct in a select statement to do the following. Lets say I want to do a search of products based off their location and I want to list the companies that will have products in that area. I only want to list the company once, but if I’m searching by products in the area I might come up with 15 results for that company. I have not written the code yet for this, I’m just planning ahead.
I’m programming using VB so I guess I would do something like this.
State = Trim(Request.QueryString("State"))
SelectStatement = "Select * From Products Where State='" & _
State & "'"
This would of course give me hypothetically speaking a list as long as the amount of products in one given area. Is there a way to cut this down and only list the company once? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to retrieve Distinct rows from this Select Statement?
I'm getting the correct results, but duplicate rows because some customers place more than one order on the same day.
Code:
SELECT dbo.Customers.CustomerID, dbo.Customers.Title, dbo.Customers.FirstName, dbo.Customers.LastName, dbo.Customers.CustomerEmail, dbo.Customers.DateCreated,
CONVERT(char, dbo.Customers.DateCreated, 103) AS [DD/MM/YYYY], dbo.loyalty_points.LPoints, dbo.Orders.OrderID
FROM dbo.Customers INNER JOIN
dbo.loyalty_points ON dbo.Customers.CustomerID = dbo.loyalty_points.CustomerID INNER JOIN
dbo.Orders ON dbo.Customers.CustomerID = dbo.Orders.CustomerID
WHERE (CONVERT(char, dbo.Customers.DateCreated, 103) = CONVERT(char, GETDATE() - 6, 103))

Hi, I have the following script segment which is failing:
CREATE TABLE #LatLong (Latitude DECIMAL, Longitude DECIMAL, PRIMARY KEY (Latitude, Longitude))
INSERT INTO #LatLong SELECT DISTINCT Latitude, Longitude FROM RGCcache
When I run it I get the following error: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#LatLong__________7CE3D9D4'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#LatLong'."
Im not sure how this is failing as when I try creating another table with 2 decimal columns and repeated values, select distinct only returns distinct pairs of values.
The failure may be related to the fact that RGCcache has about 10 million rows, but I can't see why.
Any ideas?

I'm trying to return a select statement with distinct values. I have 3
tables: Documents, DocumentAuthors and the linking table
DocumentAuthorsRel. Since a document can have multiple authors, the
DocumentAuthorsRel table holds the DocumentID and DocumentAuthorID
values.
I simply want to run a query which displays a list of
all the document titles (no document title should be repeated, i only
want to show the title once, distinct) held in the documents table, and
with the document title, show the last names of a documents author(s).
This
is the statement Im using which is returning duplicated document titles
(as a result of a document having multiple authors - found in the
DocumentAuthorsRel table)
SELECT Documents.DocumentID, Documents.Title, DocumentAuthors.AuthorLName
FROM DocumentAuthors INNER JOIN
DocumentAuthorsREL ON DocumentAuthors.DocumentAuthorID = DocumentAuthorsREL.DocumentAuthorID INNER JOIN
Documents ON DocumentAuthorsREL.DocumentID = Documents.DocumentID
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks, -lance

Is their a way to select all items from a table that are not distinct? Meaning, I want to know which items in a column occur more than once.
Example:
Suppose we have a table with student names, ss# and address. I want to display only records where their is more than one studen with the same name. So for example their could be ten people with the name of "Mike" in a class?

Hi! I have 4 tables and they have a common column (eg. regionid). These
4 tables have data overlapping with the others. Some data exist in a table
but not on the others. What I want to do is to do a select that will display
all distinct regionid from these tables. It should be total of all the tables but will suppress any duplicates with the others.
Note that UNION is working but I can't use that. Why ? because UNION is not supported or maybe not working properly with RDB database. I'm doing an appliaction for heterogenous datasource.
Any tips, hints or info will be appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Can you have "Select Distinct" in Union Query,because that is what I am trying to do and this is the error message I get.
"The text, ntext, or image data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT."
I would need to do that because i have duplicate records,because these records are getting written into the db when templates are generated and sometimes if they double click it generates two and writes that many results as well, so that is why I was thinking that select distinct would solve my problem.
Thanks for your help

I don't know what the correct syntax is to do what I want with the DISTINCTfunction (if it's actually possible).I have a query which displays a variety of fields from a variety of tables(pretty standard).However, I only want to show records where the contents of one particularcolumn in the query are unique - I do not want to perform the function onthe entire record because other fields in the records may be duplicated foras reason.

ex

2 1
3 3
3 3

Hi
Just a question
I have a query that selects profile data for members, if I don€™t do a select distinct it gives me a lot of correct values, (unique values) of members i.e. only one record per member, but every now and then I get duplicate values for one member, multiple times.
Why does this occure?
I know SELECT DISTINCT is there to remove duplicates, but without SELECT DISTINCT why would this €œmistake€? happen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I.e.
2 | 3 | John | Slack | Philips |5
1 | 2 | Jason | Limrick | Jones | 3
1 | 2 | Jason | Limrick | Jones | 3
1 | 2 | Jason | Limrick | Jones | 3
1 | 2 | Jason | Limrick | Jones | 3
1 | 2 | Jason | Limrick | Jones | 3
2 | 3 | Jane | John | Parker |4
Why would it create duplicate records if the values are the same?
Kind Regards

where a.type like '%client%' and a.userfield1 is not null and (s.division like '%HR%' or s.division like '%db%') and s.type = 'client'
So what happens now is that if an account is listed in two division I get two distinct rows returned, but each with the same GID column. When I try to push this to a new database that has GID as the primary key I get duplicate on that column and it errors out.
I need to be able to get only a single row if the division is both HR and db. how to tackle this problem.

Hi,
I'm having a little bit of trouble trying to figure out how to do this query, right now I have:
SELECT I.AppItemId, P.ProductID, P.PartNum, P.Relist, I.AppUserId
FROM ProductsToRelist I join Products P on P.ProductID = I.AppSKU
WHERE P.Relist = 1 and I.AppStatus = 5 and Not I.AppItemId is Null
and it returns something like this:
AppItemId ProductID PartNum Relist AppUserId
2786 -32730 SELECT_OOS11
2787 -32729 SELECT12
2788 -32727 SELECT_OOS11
4269 -30987 SELECT_OOS12
1665 -30987 SELECT_OOS11
2433 -30987 SELECT_OOS11
4272 -30984 SELECT11
2436 -30984 SELECT11
2793 -32708 SELECT11
But I only it want it to return 1 record for each ProductID like so:
AppItemId ProductID PartNum Relist AppUserId
2786 -32730 SELECT_OOS11
2787 -32729 SELECT12
2788 -32727 SELECT_OOS11
4269 -30987 SELECT_OOS12
4272 -30984 SELECT11
2793 -32708 SELECT11
ProductID is the primary key for the Products table, and a product can be in the ProductsToRelist table many times but each row would have a unique AppItemId. I know that I need to use Distinct or a different kind of join, but I'm not sure which. How would you suggest to do this?
Thanks
