The database has Name,Email, and skill. Though the name is distinct it is repeated as it has different skills. I would like to remove duplicate names and add the corresponding skill to the only one row.
From the stored procedure, combining 3 tables I got the output as:
NameemaildepartmentSkill
ArunemailidTech teamTechnical
ArunemailidTech teamLeadership
ArunemailidTech teamDecision Making
BinayemailidMarketingTechnical
BinayemailidMarketingDecision Making
I would like to remove the duplicate Name fields and combine the Skill in a single row as other fields are same.
So the output should be
NameemaildepartmentSkill
ArunemailidTech teamTechnical, Leadership, Decision Making
BinayemailidMarketingTechnical,Decision Making
I have a very large table that can contain up 3 to 5 duplicate records. Every month around 100,000 new records come in. Sometimes it's an ammended record, other times is just duplicated by error.
Is it possible to keep the latest record dumped into the table and delete the others? Does SQL track the order of the data being dropped into the table?
The layout would look like this. There are 10-15 other columns in the table where adjustments can also be made.
Lease# Year Month Production 12345 2008 10 1,231 12345 2008 10 1,250 12345 2008 10 1,250
I have a members table and have added an extra few thoushand members to it. Now I need to remove the duplicates.
It doesnt matter which duplicate i remove as long as there are unique email addresses.
so here is the format of the table:
id email firstname lastname datebirth
if i do a:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Email) AS Expr1 FROM Customer
it returns 21345
and
SELECT Count(Email) FROM Customer
returns 28987
I can get the unique email addresses into another table by going:
SELECT DISTINCT emailaddress INTO DistinctCustomer FROM Customer
but this will only return unique email addresses. How do i select distinct email address and all other fields into a new table? or just remove duplicates where email address appears more then once?
HiI have inherited a web app with the following table structure, and need toproduce a table without any duplicates. Email seems like the best uniqueidentifier - so only one of each e-mail address should be in the table.Following http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=3331 I have been able toget a duplicate count working:select Email, count(*) as UserCountfrom dbo.Membersgroup by Emailhaving count(*) > 1order by UserCount descBut the methods for create a new table without duplicates fail. My code forthe 2nd method is:sp_rename 'Members', 'temp_Members'select distinct *into Membersfrom temp_MembersTable....CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Members] ([MemberID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[Username] [varchar] (10) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Password] [varchar] (10) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Email] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Title] [varchar] (10) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[FirstName] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Surname] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Address1] [varchar] (35) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Address2] [varchar] (35) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[City] [varchar] (25) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Country] [varchar] (25) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Profession] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Publication] [varchar] (40) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[DateAdded] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL ,[SendMail] [smallint] NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOThanks B.
I was wondering if someone could help me with the results on this query, at the moment I am getting values repeated and I was wondering if it was possible to have some of the columns grouped, I have tried to have grouping at the end of the query but this still did not group the rows.
Thanks in advance for your answer - Sean

Hi, I'm in the midst of an Access 2003 to SQL server 2000 upsizing project and have come across a table on Sql Server that has a field that looks like it's supposed to be the PK but it contains duplicates. What I'd like to do is to have a cursor start at the first value and increment the next value by 1. Could someone explain how I'd go about this?
I'm trying to pull records from a source/staging table where there is a duplicate row in it.I don't need that as the requirement is to garbage in /garbage out.when I do that from mart and use joins btw fact and dimensions, Im not getting this duplicate record as Im using distinct/group by. If I removed it, then it returns more than 3000 rows which is not correct. Is there a way I can keep these duplicates without removing group by...Im using correct joins and filters.

the query above is basically.. selecting all the fields from a table in database W/OUT their primary key. then putting them in a temp table.. delete all the records in the original table. then paste the records from the temp table into the original table.
is there a way for this to work? i don't know how to use the variables w/ this script. please help me correcting this query..
I have a query which finds duplicate spec_items linked to a work order. What I want to do it remove the duplicates (and in some cases there will be more than one) leaving only the record with the highest [sr.id]
select sr.id, sr.linked_to_worknumber, sr.spec_checklist_id from spec_checklist_remind sr inner join spec_checklist_remind sc on sc.linked_to_worknumber = sr.linked_to_worknumber group by sr.id,sr.linked_to_worknumber, sr.spec_checklist_id Having sr.spec_checklist_id = 30 and count(*)>1 order by sr.linked_to_worknumber
I have an existing stored table with duplicate rows that I want to delete.Using a cte gives me
WITH CTE AS ( SELECT rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER( PARTITION BY employeeid, dateofincident, typeid, description ORDER BY Id ASC), * FROM dbo.TableName ) DELETE FROM cte WHERE rn > 1
This is what I want to do basically. But this is only deleting in my CTE, is there anyway I can update my existing table "TableName" with this, without using temp tables?
I have a table with 22 million Business records. I can see that there are duplicates when I group by BusinessName and Address and Phone. I'd like to place only the duplicates into a table, with a ranking, oldest business key gets a ranking of 1.
As a bonus I'd like each group to have a distinct group name (although not necessary, just want to know how to do this)
Later after I run more verifications to make sure these are not referenced elsewhere I'll delete everything with a matchRank > 1 out of the main Business table.
DROP TABLE [dbo].[TestBusiness]; GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestBusiness]( [Business_pk] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [BusinessName] VARCHAR (200) NOT NULL, [Address] VARCHAR(MAX) NOT NULL,
Hi, I have table which stores the fund name and its data. We get quarterly information from the fund co. Suppose if the user wants to add a fund thats not in our database we let then add a ClientFundId and a FundName. But may be after sometime the fund company may add that fund in the next quarter.. So how do i get rid of Duplicated Data.. In the ClientFundId column we can a 9 letter Aplhanumeric or a 5 letter character but if the fund co.. provides those values the 5 letter characters are stored in Ticker column and the 9 letter words are stored in Cusip column.. So i just wrote this query hoping i could retrieve the duplicate values but it didnt list any..but i found one this is my query.. Select FundId, Cusip, Ticker, ClientFundId, FundName, ShortName From Fund Where
ClientFundId = Ticker or ClientFundId = Cusip Any help will appreciated Thanks Karen
does someone have a querry to display the duplicate records in a table.
Table: zipcode dma
My data upload is failing because there is a primary key on zipcode and the source data (42k records) has about 50 duplicate zipcode records in it. It is possible that there is a unique combo of zipcode / dma but I need to identify the duplicate records to determine that.
I have this script bellow which does what it is supposed to. However it only outputs the cust_id. I want it to show all the columns in the table. How would I do this?
SELECT cust_id FROM cust_table WHERE cust_name in ('Billy','John') and rownum < 100 GROUP BY cust_id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
how i can check for duplicate entries for example if a serial number has already been inputted and a user tries to input the same serial number.. how can i get a trigger or some sort to check for duplicates and then prompt that the number has already been entered.
Im trying to look for duplicates in a table field.. field name is alphanumericCol and table is a user defined table...This is my trigger:
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[DUPLICATES] ON [dbo].[AMGR_User_Fields_Tbl]
FOR INSERT, UPDATE AS DECLARE @Alphanumericcol VARCHAR (750)
-- This trigger has been created to check that duplicate rows are not inserted into table.
-- Check if row exists SELECT @Alphanumericcol FROM Inserted i, AMGR_User_Fields_Tbl t WHERE t.AlphaNumericCol = i.AlphaNumericCol AND t.Client_Id = i.Client_Id -- (@Alphanumericcol = 1) -- Display Error and then Rollback transaction BEGIN RAISERROR ('This row already exists in the table', 16, 1) ROLLBACK TRANSACTION END
The result i get is, if i input a duplicate number it fills in a null in the field so my question is how do i get it to tell me its duplicate and let me insert a new one

How do I only select rows with duplicate dates for each person (id)? (The actual table has approximately 13000 rows with approximately 3000 unique ids)
Hiya everyone,I have two tables in SQL 2000. I would like to append the contents ofTableA to TableB.Table A has around 1.1 Million Records.Table B has around 1 Million Reocords.Basically TableA has all of the data held in TableB plus 100,000additional records. I would only like to import or append these newadditional records. I have a unique index already setup on Table B.Any ideas pretty pretty please?Paul.Ps. (Have been messing around with DTS but get a unique violation error- Which is kinda what I want I guess, but would like SQL to ignore theerror and only copy the new data - if only)
I have a table with call data (ContactID, Queues Entered, Call Status, Date & Time Stamps etc). Each entry relating to a contact ID goes onto a new row. The first row for a contact is the date and time it is created. It then captures the queue (or queues) it enters before it is answered. Finally, it captures when the call is released (Completed).
I'm trying to link all this data into one single row per contact ID to make it easier to report on.
I started off by using DISTINCT to pull back all of the Contact ID's. I then used a Left Join to pull back the date and time of creation. I created a further Left Join to pull back the first queue that it entered and so on.
When I did this, I started getting duplicates. This is because some calls enter more than one queue.
How can I do this so that it only has one ContactID per row. Also, for the Queue, is there anything I can do to ensure it pulls back the first Queue it enters? (These are time stamped). Subsequently, I would then need to add the second and third queue it enters in other columns. (A call can enter a maximum of 3 queues).
