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. . .

How Do I Use Order By When I Use Select Distinct.
Hi I have a query which returns some rows.. what happens if i use a select distinct instead of a select.. this is my sproc DECLARE @Counter TABLE( PlanId int, FundId int, ClientFundName varchar(110), DisplayOrder int IDENTITY(1,1), IsDefault bit, IsPortfolioFundOnly bit ) INSERT INTO @Counter ( PlanId, FundId, ClientFundName, IsDefault, IsPortfolioFundOnly ) SELECT 5923, f.FundId, d.FundName, CASE WHEN d.FundDefault IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END, CASE WHEN Lower(p.FundType) = 'modfundonly' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END FROM PlanDetail d INNER JOIN Statements..Fund f ON d.CUSIP = f.CUSIP OR d.Ticker = f.Ticker OR d.Ticker = f.ClientFundId OR d.CUSIP = f.ClientFundId -- Do an internal join on the PlanDetail table to get the value of the FundType to derive whether --fund can only be chosen as part of a portfolio.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

DISTINCT To ShortDateString, Not DISTINCT To The DateTime; How?
Hello, I have written a small asp.net application, which keeps record of the proposals coming from the branch offices of a bank in a tableCREATEd as a TABLE Proposals ( ID smallint identity(7,1), BranchID char(5), Proposal_Date datetime ) This app also calculates the total number of proposals coming from a specific branch in a given date bySELECTing COUNT(BranchID) FROM Proposals WHERE BranchID=@prmBranchID AND Proposal_Date=@prmDateand prints them in a table (my target table). This target table has as many rows as the result of the "SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) FROM Proposals"and excluding the first column which displays those DISTINCT Proposal_Dates, it also has as many columns as the result of the"SELECT DISTINCT BranchID FROM Proposals". This target table converts the DateTime values ToShortDateString so that we are able to see comfortably which branch office has sent how many proposals in a given day. So far so good, and everything works fine except one thing: Certain DateTime values in the Proposals table which are of the same day but of different hours (for ex: 11.11.2005 08:30:45 and11.11.2005 10:45:30) cause some trouble in the target table, where "SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) FROM Proposals" is executed, because (as you might already guess) it displays two identical dates in ShortDateString form, and this doesn't make much sense (i.e. it causes redundant rows) What I need to do is to get a result like (in a neat fashion :) "SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT Proposal_Date ) <<DISTINCT ONLY IN THE DAYS AND NOT IN HOURS OR MINUTES OR SECONDS>> FROM Proposals" So, how to do it in a suitable way? Thanks in advance.

I need to display <%=Rs("CompID"%>, <%=Rs("Ticker"%>, <%=Rs("Industry"%> etc. while maintaining the DISTINCT portion of my statement. Thanks again.

Using Distinct
I have 3 records in a db.. Table id file_name category Records 1 bob.jpg male 2 rob.jpg male 3 pam.jpg female I am trying to grab the distinct category so only 'male and female' is output, but i am also needing to grab the id, file_name to use later on the page as well. When i try select distinct category, id, file_name from tbl_pictures it outputs all the records since there is no exact match in all 3 fields, but i am wanting this to happen select distinct category from tbl_pictures but i am still needing to grab the other two fields because i need to use them in the next part of the page how can i go about doing this

SUm Distinct
Hi people, I love reporting services 2005 BUT have struck a major limitation! Basically I need a sum distinct function. I have various duplicate details lines and just need to sum the unique values. Anyway this is not possible and a number of people a stuck with this. Yes you can write another sql statement using DISTINCT but then how can you easily integrate that into a table with scope? you can't! Anyway has anyone been able to achieve this nicely in reporting services? I was thinking of calling a distinct SQL statement from an Expression in a text box on a header field and passing another text box as a parameter to get around this limitation. Is this possible? Here is a link with similiar problem http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=240606&SiteID=1 Cheers Damien

DISTINCT... Help :)
Hi, I have data in several tables and Im having trouble filtering the data. This is statement that Im executing: 1. SELECT DISTINCT Countries.Name, Companies.ShortName, Persons.FirstName, Persons.LastName, PersonSkills.Skills This is the statement that gives me the results I want: 2. SELECT DISTINCT Countries.Name, Companies.ShortName, Persons.FirstName, Persons.LastName The problem with this is I need to have Persons.Skills in the statement and DISTINCT doesnt filter the data the way I need it to because the data in Persons.Skills is different which results in I get duplicated results. Is it possible to do something like SELECT DISTINCT column1,..,column5,(SELECT Persons.Skills) by this I mean to apply distinct to some of the columns in the SELECT statement?

Using Distinct
I am trying to pull information out of a table using distinct, but instead of just pulling a certain column I want to pull multiple columns in a row? However when I use the command below I only get the "workitem_number" column available, where there are approx. 4 other columns that I need (workitem_title, workitem_comment, ETC) When I add the additional columns (after the distinct statement) it doesn't work due to the type of data. "SELECT DISTINCT workitem_number from workitem_cost_view where assigned_to_worker_nt_id = '" & Request.QueryString("Name") & "' AND workitem_start_on = '" & Request.QueryString("schDate") & "' order by workitem_number" Is there any way to pull multiple columns, based only on distinct for one column? I hope I'm explaining this correctly. Thanks. Rwj6001

Using DISTINCT
Is there some way to use the distinct keyword so that it applies ONLY to a subset of the items in the select list??? For example, suppose I want to select col_1, col_2, col_3, col_4 but I do not want distinct applied against all 4 items... Maybe I want all 4 items in the selection list, but I want distinct to use only col_3 as its filtration criteria... I know the syntax shown below is not valid, but I am showing it anyway because I am hoping it will illustrate what I am looking for... Is there a VALID syntax that is something like this??? select col_1, col_2, (distinct col_3), col_4 or select col_1, col_2, distinct (col_3), col_4
