How Do I Use Order By When I Use Select Distinct.

SELECT DISTINCT W/ORDER BY
I get the "ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified.

SELECT DISTINCT
pdm.Account,
pdm.Customer
FROM
dbo.Demands pdm LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.Tickets rct ON pdm.Account = rct.Account
WHERE
pdm.Code IN (66, 51)
ORDER BY
pdm.TransactionDate DESC

Is there any way to make the ORDER BY work in this case?

SELECT DISTINCT Type ORDER BY
I am trying to display items from a table that have a type. For each condition there are between 7 and 10 types. I am looping through each type and displaying all items in that type. I am using DISTINCT to pull the types and count them, so I know how many there are and how times to loop. My problem is that DISTINCT is ordering the types alphabetically! I want them in the same order they went into the table. I tried adding ORDER BY primaryID, but got an error that said I also had to select primaryID as well as type, so now I am selecting every item that fits the condition and not just the DISTINCT types! Is there any way to make it order by column_position? I am using SQL 2K.

How Can I Use SELECT DISTINCT And Maintain The Original Order
Say I have a result set with two fields numbers and letters.

1 A3 A1 B2 B


 The result set is ordered by the letters column. How can I select the distinct numbers from the result set but maintain the current order? When I tryselect distinct Number from MyResultSet

it will reorder the new result set by the Number field and return

123

 However, I'd like maintain the Letter order and return

132

SELECT DISTINCT MyId Order By MyDate
I have the following records,
MyDate MyId
2003/10/25 2
2003/10/26 3
2003/10/26 1
2003/10/27 3
2003/10/28 2
2003/10/29 4

I want to get the most earlier date distinct records.
I try to use "SELECT DISTINCT MyID from Table;"
I expect to get Myid: 2,3,1,4
But the computer returns Myid:1,2,3,4

Is there a way to get the records using
"SELECT DISTINCT MyID from Table ORDER BY MyDate;"

Appreciate help......

SELECT DISTINCT And ORDER BY With Aliased Column
 

This query demonstrates a problem I have run across:
 

USE AdventureWorks

GO

-- This query works fine.

SELECT DISTINCT FirstName AS Name1 FROM Person.Contact ORDER BY FirstName

GO

-- This query also works fine.

SELECT ISNULL(FirstName, '') AS Name1 FROM Person.Contact ORDER BY FirstName

GO

-- This query returns error 145

SELECT DISTINCT ISNULL(FirstName, '') AS Name1 FROM Person.Contact ORDER BY FirstName

GO

 
The last query returns the error "ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified".
It will work if I change ORDER BY to use "Name1" instead of "FirstName", but in the situation I have at hand, the query is generated by third-party software and I don't have the ability to change it.
Can anyone explain why what's going on here?  Oddly, this same query will work if I run it against SQL Server 2000.

How To Use ORDER BY Clause In An SELECT DISTINCT Sql Query When AS SINGLECOLUMN Is Defined?
Hi,
I wonder if its possible to perform a ORDER BY clause in an SELECT DISTINCT sql query whereby the AS SINGLECOLUMN is used. At present I am recieving error: ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified. My guess is that I cant perform the Order By clauses because it cant find the columns individually. It is essentail I get this to work somehow...
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Select DISTINCT On Multiple Columns Is Not Returning Distinct Rows?
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?

Order By Because Of Distinct
I have a strange situation (I think). Within a view (which explains why I use the top 100% --> to use an order by) I have this query:

select TOP 100 PERCENT *
from tbOfferDetails
where ofd_id = ofd_parent and ofd_fk_off_id = 100

This gives me the following results:
ofd_fk_off_id off_fk_class_id
100 2753
100 2753
100 2071
100 2753

Now I change the query to:

select distinct ofd_fk_off_id, ofd_fk_class_id from
(select TOP 100 PERCENT *
from tbOfferDetails
where ofd_id = ofd_parent and ofd_fk_off_id = 100
order by ofd_sequence ASC ) as tbOffers

This gives me the following results:
ofd_fk_off_id off_fk_class_id
100 2071
100 2753

In the execution plan, it says that a distinct order by is used on off_fk_class_id. My question is: why is this done? I want only a distinct and not an order by. So is there a way to change this (default?) behaviour.

Distinct With Order By
It gives me this error:
ORDER BY clause (TimeStamp) conflicts with Distinct

The sql statement is:

sql Code:






Original
- sql Code




SELECT DISTINCT division from table order by Stamp DESC






SELECT DISTINCT division FROM TABLE ORDER BY Stamp DESC



I've tried:

sql Code:






Original
- sql Code




SELECT DISTINCT division, Stamp FROM table ORDER BY Stamp DESC






SELECT DISTINCT division, Stamp FROM TABLE ORDER BY Stamp DESC


But this produces duplicate rows, which in this specific case is unacceptable.

Is there any way I can acheive what I want?
Stamp is a TimeStamp if you couldn't figure it out. I just want the last one entered, but all the last ones entered per division. . .

Default Sort Order - Open Table - Select Without Order By
Hi!
 
I recently run into a senario when a procedure quiered a table without a order by clause. Luckily it retrived data in the prefered order.
 
The table returns the data in the same order in SQL Manager "Open Table"
 
So I started to wonder what deterimins the sort order when there is no order by clause ?
 
I researched this for a bit but found no straight answers. My table has no PK, but an identiy column.
 
Peace.

Extract Distinct Information And Order The Results
Hi,
 
MSSQL 2000 T-SQL
 
I have a problem in extracting information pertaing to a key value and matching that key value to another transaction but the order is based on another value in the same row.

 
I've attached a sample of DB data below.
 
tran_nr ret_ref_no  msg_type description 
5111     12345        420          reversal 
5112     12345        200          auths    
5113     15236        200          auths    
5114     46587        200          auths    
5115     46587        420          reversal 
 
Requirement using the above data is to extract data where the ret_ref_no is the same for more than one row but also check that the msg_type 420 happens before the 200. Is there a way of retrieving the information in this way using the tran_nr coloumn values? The tran_nr values is basically the serial number when the transaction is wrriten away to the DB.
 
I've managed only to retrive the 1st half of my query whereby the same ret_ref_nr is being used by more then one transaction. Still need to figure out the 2nd part where the msg_type of 420 happens before the 200.
 
 
SELECT * FROM SAMPLE
WHERE ret_ref_no in
  (
    SELECT ret_ref_no FROM SAMPLE
    GROUP BY ret_ref_no HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
  )
 
Results of query
5111 12345 420 reversal 
5112 12345 200 auths    
5114 46587 200 auths    
5115 46587 420 reversal 

If someone could assist with only retreiving  the above results in bold to the query analyser i will really appreciate it.

Specify Order For Select Results, Order By: Help!
Lets say I have a table named [Leadership] and I want to select the field 'leadershipName' from the [Leadership] Table.

My query would look something like this:

Select leadershipName
From Leadership

Now, I would like to order the results of this query... but I don't want to simply order them by ASC or DESC. Instead, I need to order them as follows:

Executive Board Members, Delegates, Grievance Chairs, and Negotiators

My question: Can this be done through MS SQL or do I need to add a field to my [Leadership] table named 'leadershipImportance' or something as an integer to denote the level of importance of the position so that I can order on that value ASC or DESC?

Thanks,

Zoop

INSERT-SELECT Depending On The Select:ed Order
I'm doing a INSERT...SELECT where I'm dependent on the records SELECT:ed to be in a certain order. This order is enforced through a clustered index on that table - I can see that they are in the proper order by doing just the SELECT part.

However, when I do the INSERT, it doesn't work (nothing is inserted) - can the order of the records from the SELECT part be changed internally on their way to the INSERT part, so to speak?

Actually - it is a view that I'm inserting into, and there's an instead-of-insert trigger on it that does the actual insertions into the base table. I've added a "PRINT" statement to the trigger code and there's just ONE record printed (there should be millions).

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?

Select Distinct Help?
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

Select Distinct
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.

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.

SELECT DISTINCT
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?

Help With A Distinct Select?
Hi,

I am new to this forum so hello to everyone!

I need some help getting unique records from a query, I have a large amount of nested selects and i want to only display distinct records, I have a unique identifier (party ID) but the code was written by someone else (who is on holiday!) and i need to work out where to insert the disctinct select (if at all? - open to a better way?) this query should pull back records and then the results are pasted in to excel, however would a DTS solve the issue with duplicates??

Any help more than appreciated!

Heres the code...

SELECT DISTINCT F1, F2, F3, F4 FROM 'table Name'
Newbie question 
SELECT DISTINCT F1, F2, F3, F4 FROM 'table name' returns distinct rows for whole table.  Is there a way to just return distinct rows from say column F1 instead of all the fields.  I suppose i could just do SELECT DISTINCT F1, but also would like to display other fields.  Thanks in advance

Select Distinct For Different Rows
I have the following tablecolumns:  [col1], [col2],[col3] and [NAME].I want to select the name column for each row where [col1]='07'.The problem is that there are several rows where [col1] contains '07' and also the name is the same. [col2] and [col3] contain different data for these double rows...however, I cant use the [col1] and [col2] values in my query because I dont know what values they contain beforehand.So now, when I execute my query and add the DISTINCT key I still get all the double rows!I hope this explains my problem, help is really appreciated...ow, btw: deleting the double rows is not an option....

Distinct In Select Statement
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.

Select Distinct Rows
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

Very Slow Distinct Select
My table looks like this:char(150) HTTP_REF,char(250) HTTP_USER,char(150) REMOTE_ADDR,char(150) REMOTE_HOST,char(150) URL,smalldatetime TIME_STAMPThere are no indexes on this table and there are only 293,658 records total.When I do a select like this it takes forever:SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT REMOTE_ADDR)Takes 2 minutes. Is there anyway to speed that up?Thanks

SELECT DISTINCT With JOIN
Hi everyoneHave a problem I would areally appreciate help with.I have 3 tables in a standard format for a Bookshop, egProductsCategoriesCategories_Productsthe latter allowing me to have products in multiple categories.Everthing works well except for one annoying little thing.When an individual product (which is in more than one topcategory) is addedto the Shopping Cart it displays twice, because in my select statement Ihave the Category listed. I realise I could remove the TopCategory from thestatement and that makes my DISTINCT work as I wanted, but Id prefer to havethe TopCategory as it saves me later having to another SQL query (Im alreadydoing one to allow me not to list category in the Statement .... but If Ican overcome this one ... then I can remove this as well).Here is my table structure (the necessary bits)productsidProduct int....categoriesidcategory intidParentCategory inttopcategory int...categories_productsidCatProd intidProduct intidCategoryWhen I run a query such asSELECT DISTINCT a.idProduct, a.description,a.descriptionLong,a.listPrice,a.price,a.smallImageUrl,a.stock, a.fileName,a.noShipCharge,c.topcategoryFROM products a, categories_products b, categories cWHERE active = -1 AND homePage = -1AND a.idProduct = b.idProductAND c.idcategory=b.idcategoryAND prodType = 1 ORDER BY a.idProduct DESCThis will return all products as expected, as well as any products which arein more than one TopCategory.Any ideas how to overcome this would be greatly appreciated.CheersCraig

SQL Syntax For Distinct Select
I'm trying to order a varchar column first numerically, and secondalphanumerically using the following SQL:SELECT distinct doc_numberFROM doc_lineWHERE product_id = 'WD' AND doc_type = 'O'ORDER BY CASE WHEN IsNumeric(doc_number) = 1THEN CONVERT(FLOAT, doc_number)ELSE 999999999END,CASE WHEN IsNumeric(doc_number) = 1THEN 'ZZZZZZZZZ'ELSE doc_numberEND;When try executing this statement, I get the following error:Server: Msg 145, Level 15, State 1, Line 1ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT isspecified.If I take the "distinct" out, it works just fine, except for the fact that Iget many duplicates.Does anyone have any suggestions?Thanks,Frank

SELECT Distinct Problem - HELP!!!!
I'm trying to select a recordset from a table without getting duplicates on only one column and can't figure out how to do it. Here is the table structure:

Tablename: ev_textmessageusers
Columns: id (unique int) | clientid (int) | email (nvarchar) | groups (nvarchar) | datecreated (datetime)

What i'd like to do is:
SELECT DISTINCT(email), [and then the other columns - not distinct] FROM ev_textmessageusers WHERE clientID = 1

But this obviously can not be done. I've tried to do it with a GROUP BY clause and I can't get that to work either. The groups and datecreated columns may or may not be unique - but I still want to get their values returned in the recordset.

Thanks for your help!!!
