SELECT DISTINCT To Return Only The YEARS In A Date Field?

I have a table in my MS SQL 2000 database called News which has a field caled NewsDate. This is a standard Date field which stores the info in this format: 3/1/2001.

I want to create a query that returns one row for each year that there is a story.

For example, if I had this data...
3/1/2001, 6/27/2003. 9/17/2003, 1/1/2006, 4/5/2006

the query would return this result:

2001
2003
2006

This is the query I've started with:

SELECT DISTINCT NewsDate FROM News ORDER BY NewsDate DESC

What modifier can I apply to the NewsDate field to extract JUST the year from the table? If this were ASP I would try something like Year(Date), but, of course, I can't do that here.

Is this even possible? I've been looking up date functions, but haven't found anything that will work in a select statement. ANY and ALL advice will be greatly appreciated.

Select Distinct One Some Fields, But Return All Feilds
I was curious...Is there a way to select distinct on a combination of some fields andthe for each record returned also get the other fields of anarbitrarily chosen record matching the fields in the distinct record.For example, if I have a select distinct on say three fields:SELECT DISTINCT Code1, Code2, Code3but the table also has other fields, maybe Foo1 and Foo2, and I wantFoo1 and Foo2 to also be displayed. Since there may be multiplerecords that match a particular Code1, Code2, Code3, then I just wantone of those to be arbitrarily chosen.

DISTINCT SELECT Query With More Than One Field
Hello, I want to do a DISTINCT SELECT query with more than one field, for example a ID field with a Type field, as if both fields make the primary key, like (ID 1 ,Type 1) ,( ID 1, Type 2) and (ID 2, Type 1) is ok but not (ID 1, Type1) and (ID 1,Type 1) if its not possible to do a distinct with more than one then what other techniques are possible to get the duplicate data out. the reason why I want to use distinct is that I can use that query to export that data to where both of these fields make the primary key.
Thanks in advance

Looking To Collect Distinct Date Part Out Of Datetime Field
from this, circdate being a datetime field:SQLQuery = "select distinct circdate from circdata order by circdate"I need the distinct date portion excluding the time part.this has come about when I discoveredI am inserting and updating some datetime values with the same value,but for some reason, the values are always off by a few seconds. I seta variable called SetNow assigned to NOW and then set the datetimefields to this SetNow variable. Then when I collect the distinct datetime I am assuming they will have the same values recorded incircdate, but no, they are off by several seconds. Makes no sense to meat all. I tried renaming the variable several times but it makes nodifference at all.any help appreciated, thanks.

SELECT DISTINCT DATE With Different Time
Hi! Good Day!

What is the correct SELECT query if i want to count the distinct date from my table.

Example:
Table1
DateField
10/11/2005 5:14:48 PM
10/11/2005 5:24:48 PM
10/10/2005 5:14:30 PM
10/13/2005 5:15:02 PM

My query is something like this.
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT DateField) FROM Table1

The result should be 3 and not 4
because there are 2 records with the same date, only different time.

Thanks :)

SQL Server - Select Distinct By Latest Date - Help?
I have a table that holds the specification of a product, but everytime the product specification is updated we store a record of the change in a seperate table, this way we have a history of the product specification by date (as specification can be added out of sync). I have built a view to list the products and their specifications, but I want the view to only show me the latest specification instead of all the specifications of the products..... hope this makes sense so far!

show distinct InstanceID (but the distinct record must be the latest date)

here are the tables...

table 01 = tbItem
----------------
dbItemID
dbEntryNo
dbLocation
----------------

table 02 =tbInstance
----------------
dbInstanceID
dbItemID
dbInstancedate
----------------

table 03 =tbProperty
----------------
dbPropertyID
dbSiteID
dbPropertyName
----------------

here is the select statement...

SELECT dbo.tbItem.dbItemID, dbo.tbItem.dbEntryNo, dbo.tbItem.dbLocation, dbo.tbInstance.dbItemID AS Expr1, dbo.tbInstance.dbInstanceID,
dbo.tbInstance.dbInstanceDate, dbo.tbProperty.dbPropertyID, dbo.tbProperty.dbSiteID, dbo.tbProperty.dbPropertyName
FROM dbo.tbItem INNER JOIN
dbo.tbInstance ON dbo.tbItem.dbItemID = dbo.tbInstance.dbItemID INNER JOIN
dbo.tbProperty ON dbo.tbItem.dbPropertyID = dbo.tbProperty.dbPropertyID

here is the Simplified Result:....

dbItemID dbInstanceID dbInstancedate

9 1 05/03/2004
9 2 01/03/2004
9 3 09/02/2004
13 5 08/03/2004
14 6 08/03/2004
15 7 08/03/2004

The result shows 3 records for the same dbItemID, what I need to do is show the latest instance (date) for the dbItemID an so only show one record for each dbItemID but it has to be the latest entry.

I need one record per dbItemID but it must be the latest dbInstancedate...

Any help in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

SQL Date Is Off By 20 Years!
Hello Swynkers,

Hopefully this is a simple one:

One of our SQL7 boxes crashed - and we found out later that upon startup the system date was somehow automatically set to 7/20/2019. (It does this mysteriously after crashing). SQL of course took this date to be its own, and now all the Database creation dates, and "last backup date"s are screwy. The SQL Jobs, though scheduled, won't run (for another 20 years!) -- and when run manually, they do NOT reset the last Backup date.

Any suggestions on how I can manually change these dates? Has anyone else run into this date-flip error?

Thanks for any help,

Select Statement To Return Most Current Syscreated Date On Duplicates
I have a db that has duplicate customer records.

If I run the following select statment against the appropriate table it returns the duplilcate records in the result set. However, from this list I want to add an additional select statement embedded into the query that will actually return only those records with the most current syscreated date.

Example of script I'm using---

select cmp_fadd1, syscreated, cmp_name, cmp_code
from cicmpy
where cmp_fadd1 in (select cmp_fadd1
        from cicmpy
                      group by cmp_fadd1
                      having count(1) = 2)
order by cmp_fadd1,syscreated desc

The results is:

     Address                               Syscreated date                Customer
1622 ONTARIO AVENUE 2005-06-15 22:19:45.000 RELIABLE PARTSLTD
1622 ONTARIO AVENUE 2004-01-22 18:10:05.000 RELIABLE PARTS LTD
PEI CENTER                      2006-01-05 22:03:50.000 P.G. ENERGY
PEI CENTER                      2004-01-22 17:57:56.000 P.G. ENERGY

From this I want to be able to select ONLY those records with the most current syscreated date or those records with   2005-06-15 and 2006-01-05

Can anyone help me with creating this?

Thanks

Cyndie

Trying To Add A NON-DISTINCT Field To A DISTINCT Record Set In A Query.
I need to run a SELECT DISTINCT query acrossmultiple fields, but I need to add another field that is NON-DISTINCTto my record set.Here is my query:SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, genderFROM gpresultsWHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis query runs perfect. No problems whatsoever. However, I need toalso include another field called "admitdate" that should be treatedas NON-DISTINCT. How do I add this in to the query?I've tried this but doesn't work:SELECT admitdateFROM (SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, gender from gpresults)WHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis has to be simple but I do not know the syntax to accomplishthis.Thanks

Select Only Date From Datetime Field
I know there must be a way to do this....

I want to select only the date portion of a datetime field. the date normally shows as similar to '2004-01-01 09:39:52.000'

I need to return just '2004-01-01'. using convert and cast returns the dates as 'JAN 01 2004' - this won't sort correctly, so it is of no use. any suggestions?

thanks,

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?

Trying To Return A Single Record For Each Client From Child Table Based Upon A Field Of Date Type In Child Table
I have table "Clients" who have associated records in table "Mailings"
I want to populate a gridview using a single query that grabs all the info I need so that I may utilize the gridview's built in sorting.
I'm trying to return records containing the next upcoming mailing for each client.

The closest I can get is below:
I'm using GROUP BY because it allows me to return a single record for each client and the MIN part allows me to return the associated record in the mailings table for each client that contains the next upcoming 'send_date'

SELECT MIN(dbo.tbl_clients.client_last_name) AS exp_last_name, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.send_date) AS exp_send_date, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.user_id) AS exp_user_id, dbo.tbl_clients.client_id, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.mailing_id) AS exp_mailing_idFROM dbo.tbl_clients INNER JOIN
dbo.tbl_mailings ON dbo.tbl_clients.client_id = dbo.tbl_mailings.client_idWHERE (dbo.tbl_mailings.user_id = 1000)GROUP BY dbo.tbl_clients.client_id
The user_id set at 1000 part is what makes it rightly pull in all clients for a particular user. Problem is, by using the GROUP BY statement I'm just getting the lowest 'mailing_id' number and NOT the actual entry associated with mailing item I want to return. Same goes for the last_name field. Perhaps I need to have a subquery within my WHERE clause?Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely..

Trying To Return Whole Records With Distinct Fields
Hi

I am trying to write a query that will return a full record with a particular distinct field (the rest of the record being the first such record that includes the distinct field).

For example, for the following:

Fruit         Like?     Colour
Apple         Y           Green
Orange     N           Orange
Banana    Y           Yellow
Grape       Y           Green
Grapefruit N           Yellow

I would want to return (assuming Colour was the distinct field):

Fruit          Like?       Colour
Apple          Y            Green
Orange       N            Orange
Banana       Y            Yellow

How do I do this? I've tried using a join (of all different kinds) with a subquery that uses SELECT DISTINCT but this doesn't seem to work. I've tried GROUP BY but none of the aggregate functions seem to just take the first found field.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Return Distinct Values From Stored Procedures

My stored procedure rptOpenOrderLines currently returns all invoices (items under a OrderNum). I want to somehow filter those results to return one and only one of those "OrderNum" variables from the invoices.

Record Counts For Distinct Field Query
Is there a simple, one step query I can use to return the number of records that match a DISTINCT [fieldname] query?

I have a table named cust_inf with 3,000 records or so with fields labeled STATE and CITY, among others. If I issue a SELECT DISTINCT state FROM cust_inf I get a table one column that has 15 records which show the 15 distinctly different states that my customers live in. That's fine, but I want to know how many customers I have in each state.

What I am looking for is a two-column result cursor that lists the state in one column and the number of records from the 3,000 total that each state has.

I've tried a number of single SELECT statements but cant seem to find the right way to make this work. I could write a sript that loops thru the result cursor to COUNT(*) the records that match a WHERE clause but I'm sure there is a simpler way.

Does anyone have an idea I can try?

Thanks!

Informix Date Type Field To SQL Server Datetime Field Error

I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part

I tried a couple of things:

Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.

Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.

What options do I have that will work?

OT: SQL Server Distinct Date Question
I am working with a VIEW inside of SQL Server. I want
to SELECT DISTINCT just the date from a date/time
field. (MM/DD/YYYY). And then I want to be able to
use BETWEEN to requery the resulting data from that
view. So to get rid of the time, I am using the
Convert function (I'll be glad to do it a different way if anyone knows one):

SELECT DISTINCT Order_id, CONVERT(char(10),
Customer_Order_table.date_order_placed, 101) AS
order_date

From MyTable

The trouble is that when I go to requery the data from
a second query, my between statement doesn't seem to
work properly and I don't get any records returned.
It's almost like the resulting data isn't being
considered a date or something like that. Does anyone
have any suggestions on this?

Thanks,

Eron

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?

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

This is the query in question:

SELECT Distinct 'O' AS Origin, a.RecordID, a.RelocateID, a.SupplierID, a.DateIn, a.DateOut, a.NoOfDays, a.AgreeAmt, a.PaymentMethod, a.AccomType, a.Reason,

Select Distinct
Hi,

I wonder if anyone here can shed some light on why the query below produces duplicate EmailAddress values even though we specify the DISTINCT clause.

SELECT DISTINCT(EmailAddress) SubscriberID, FirstName, Surname, SubscriberID
FROM TestMailingList
ORDER BY EmailAddress

Thanks.

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.
thanks in advance.

Does anyone know why this does not work?

SELECT DISTINCT tb2.column20 tb2.column20, tb1.column10, tb2.column21, tb2.column22, tb3.column30
FROM table1 tb1, table2 tb2, table3 tb3
WHERE tb1.column11 = 'P'
AND tb2.column23 = 'P'
AND tb1.column12 = tb2.column24
AND tb2.column25 = tb3.column31
ORDER BY tb2.column20

Its supposed to return only the distinct entries in tb2.column20

I may be new at this but I can't find any explanation why
SELECT DISTINCT(Stno), Grade
shows distinct occurrences for each Stno-Grade combination rather than just distinct occurences of Stno. What is the solution?

Select Distinct Help

select distinct ISNULL (a.account,'') as "Account", ISNULL (c.address1,'') as "Address",
ISNULL (c.city,'') as "City", ISNULL (c.state,'') as "State",
ISNULL (c.postalcode,'') as "Zip Code", ISNULL (a.mainphone,'') as "Phone",
a.userfield1 as "GID", s.division
from sysdba.account as a
join sysdba.address as c on a.addressid = c.addressid
join sysdba.staff as s on a.accountid = s.accountid
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.

Thanks!

Hi members,

Is there a way to count the number of data with distinct column a and column b (combination)??

ex

col A               Col B
1                        1
1                        2
1                        1
2                        1
3                        3
3                        3
4                        3

should give 5.
The ones in red are duplicates that I want to eliminate.
Thanks,

SELECT DISTINCT
Hello,

When I try the SELECT DISTINCT like this:

USE CHEC

SELECT DISTINCT

DAY([DATE_CONVERSION_TABLE_NEW].[DISBURSEMENT DATE]) AS DayofMonth,
DAT01.[_@550] AS LoanType,
DAT01.[_@051] AS Branch,
DAT01.[_@TP] AS ProdTypeDescr,
SMT_Branches.[BranchTranType] AS TranType,
--SMT_Branches.[AUCode] AS AuCode,
COUNT(*) AS Totals
FROM DAT01 INNER JOIN [DATE_CONVERSION_TABLE_NEW]
--ON DAT01.[_@040] = [DATE_CONVERSION_TABLE_NEW].[DISBURSEMENT DATE]
ON DAT01.[_@040] = [_@040]
INNER JOIN SMT_BRANCHES
ON SMT_Branches.[BranchTranType] = SMT_BRANCHES.[BranchTranType]
WHERE
DAT01.[_@040] Between '06/01/2006' And '06/30/2006'
And SMT_BRANCHES.[BranchTranType] = 'RETAIL'
AND DAT01.[_@051] = '540'
--And SMT_Branches.[AUCode] = '1882'
And DAT01.[_@TP] = '115'

DAT01.[_@TP],
SMT_Branches.[BranchTranType],
--SMT_Branches.[AUCode],
[DATE_CONVERSION_TABLE_NEW].MONTH,
DAY([DATE_CONVERSION_TABLE_NEW].[DISBURSEMENT DATE])
ORDER BY [DATE_CONVERSION_TABLE_NEW].MONTH,
DAT01.[_@051],
DayofMonth ASC
