t1 has a 1 to many relationship to t2
(no keys on t2)
SELECT DISTINCT t1.name, t1.title
FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN
table2 t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
That works fine... Now, I want to include a third table...
Table3: regionID , RegionName, location,...
SELECT DISTINCT t1.name, t1.title, t3.RegionName
FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN
table2 t2 ON t1.id = t2.id INNER JOIN
table3 t3 ON t2.regionID = t3.regionID
A sample result would be....
Bill, Owner, England
Jim, Owner, France
Jim, Owner, Spain
However, I would like to only list the individuals (ie. Jim, Owner) one time! Only the first 2 fields (name, title) need to be distinct. How do I reference the third table without including it in the DISTINCT keyword?
// C - Categories, P - Parameters, CP_Link - linkage table between C and P
// Basically, it is a list of features belonging to a particular category.
DROP TABLE [C]; CREATE TABLE [C] ( ID_CAutoinc, Name varchar(32), PRIMARY KEY( ID_C )
[code]....
OK, this works fine, but I want to get a list of parameters (from P table) which holds only those items that linked to all categories requested. In other words, I want only 'leg' and 'hand', but not the 'beard', because 'girls' not linked to 'beard'.Only common features for all of categories listed "IN (,,,)" wanted.
query1="select co.*, ct.*, from contacts co, enquiries en, contactPersonType ct where co.co_contactId=en.en_contactId and co.co_contactType=ct.ct_contactTypeId"
i want to display only the contact persons details who made enquires. this gives me duplicate records. im not displaying enquiry details. how can i use distinct with this?
I am attempting to run the following select statement joining multiple tables but in the end result I would like only Distinct/Unique values to be returned in the invlod.lodnum column.
[select pw.schbat, adrmst.adrnam, adrmst.adrln1, adrmst.adrcty, adrmst.adrstc, adrmst.adrpsz, invlod.lodnum, shipment.host_ext_id, shipment_line.ordnum, car_move.car_move_id from aremst join locmst on (aremst.arecod = locmst.arecod) and (aremst.wh_id = locmst.wh_id)
I need info from 2 Tables. from the Table 2 I just need 1 column. When i ask for this column the output I get is data repeating themselve many times.
Distinct, should give me unique data, but is doesnt.... the code:
SELECT DISTINCT FSenddate, FSupplyIDName, FSupplyerNumber,FBillNo,FSourceBillNo,FItemName,FItemModel, FAuxQty,FAuxTaxPrice,FHeadSelfP0237 FROM vwICBill_26 WHERE FSenddate BETWEEN DATEADD(dd,-14,GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()
This code just works in Table1 (vwICBill_26)
but with table 2 (vwICBill_1)
SELECT DISTINCT vwICBill_26.FSenddate,vwICBill_26.FSupplyIDName, vwICBill_26.FSupplyerNumber,vwICBill_26.FBillNo, vwICBill_26.FSourceBillNo,vwICBill_26.FItemName, vwICBill_26.FItemModel,vwICBill_26.FAuxQty, vwICBill_26.FAuxTaxPrice,vwICBill_26.FHeadSelfP0237, vwICBill_1.FDate,vwICBill_1.FContractBillNo FROM vwICBill_26,vwICBill_1 WHERE vwICBill_26.FSenddate BETWEEN DATEADD(dd,-14,GETDATE()) AND GETDATE() AND vwICBill_1.FContractBillNo=vwICBill_26.FSourceBillNo
The last sentence is the problem I want that it shows me the data that is not equal. As soon as I implement the not equal it shows me the massive repeating data. I mean even without the last sentence I get this data output.
All together, I want a clear database output without data repeating. Any ideas how it may work without DISTINCT?
I think this problem is a typical amateure problem, but I would apreciate help!
I need to get all distinct values from 10 different tables that exist in the field [favoritesport] And each table holds close to 50K records so I am looking at 500,000 records to get distinct values for. Would the fastest, less intrusive way of achieving this be to just create a UNION ALL so run
Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table1 Union Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table2 Union Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table3 etc etc etc
12.) Now you have two different tables - each with two columns.Table #1Single Column2 rows with a value equal to 1 and 2Table #2Single column2 rows with a value equal to 2 and 4Construct a statement returning in a single column all the valuescontained, but not the common values.This is another question that I got in an interview, I missedit.......Thanks,Tim
Here is the desired counted output, I would like to pull distinct Date, MachineNumber, TestName and then count how many times they occur in the raw data form.I do need to perform a case on the date because right now its in a datetime format and I only need the date.
I am pulling three columns with the same names from 8 different tables. What I need to display the date, machine & test name and count how many times a test was run on a machine for that date. I have a feeling this can be handled by SSAS but haven't built an analysis cube yet because I am unfamiliar with how they work. I was wondering if this is possible in a simple query. I tried to set something up in a #Temp table. Problem is the query takes forever to run because I am dealing with 1.7 Million rows. Doing an insert into #temp select columnA, columnB, columnC from 8 different tables takes a bit.
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.
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
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.
Okay, I've been working on this for a couple of hours with no success. I'm trying to find the number of telephone numbers that are associated with multiple students at different school sites. I've created a temp table that lists all phone numbers that are associated with more than one student. I'm now trying to query that table and count the number of telephone numbers that are associated with more than one site. Essentially, I'm looking for parent/guardians that have students at different sites.
Here's an example of what I'm hoping to accomplish:
*In this example, I'm just trying to get a count of the different/distinct school sites associated with each number. If I can, at the same time, limit it to a count of > 1 (essentially excluding parents with students at the same site), even better :)
I'm new to my company, although not new to SQL 2005 and I found something interesting. I don't have an ERD yet, and so I was asking a co-worker what table some data was in, they told me a table that is NOT in SQL Server 2005's list of tables, views or synonyms.
I thought that was strange, and so I searched over and over again and still I couldn't find it. Then I did a select statement the table that Access thinks exists and SQL Server does not show and to my shock, the select statement pulled in data!
So how did this happen? How can I find the object in SSMS folder listing of tables/views or whatever and what am I overlooking?
If I know this SELECT will get me unique username to configname records:Select DISTINCT configname, username FROM EtechModelRequests
JOIN CC_host.dbo.usr_smc ON username = user_id
JOIN Webservices.dbo.PartNumberPricingImport ON PartNumber = configname
Where RequestDateTime > '9/26/2007' And country = 'US' And interfacename Like '%download%' And result = 0 How do I show the other fields I need? The field I need is List Price but I don't want to DISTINCT on it too.
Hi I have two tables linked by MemberID and I'll like to produce a list from the two tables but also want to specify one table to only use the Top 50 distinct records
Table 1 (top 50 Distinct) Memberid (distinct)PictureDateTakenGalleryID Order By DateTaken Table 2 MemberidFirstNameLastNamePrivatelist MemberidPictureFirstNameLastNameGalleryIDPrivate
I have a query and it is bringing up multiples of the same data what i would like to know is if there is a way to use something like Distinct that i can use as a clause such as
Select * from Table Where Distinct ColumnName
I know that distinct doesnt work in this situation I would like to know if there is a command to do this or a way to fix it if i use this
select distinct columnName,columnName2 from table
it returns the rows where columnName and ColumnName2 both are not the same My purpose is that i need to select more than one column but i would like non duplicates based on ONE column name
I have 6 fields in my table and I want to display only distinct values from one of those columns. However, I also need to use the fields from the remaining 5 columns in my asp page. For example,
Columns: CompID CompanyName Ticker Industry CEOName MarketCap
In one table on the page, I want to display only unique entries for 'CompanyName' which I've been doing with this statement:
SqlText = "SELECT DISTINCT CompanyName FROM [tablename] WHERE UserID=" & intUserID & ""
However, I also need to use the other values associated 'CompanyName' in my asp page after opening my recordset. I need to display <%=Rs("CompID"%>, <%=Rs("Ticker"%>, <%=Rs("Industry"%> etc. while maintaining the DISTINCT portion of my statement.
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
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?
I'm trying to find the Distinct for CODEID but it's still returning duplicate data. What is the best way to write this query so that the result I get are Distinct Codeid?
SELECT DISTINCT dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeID, dbo.Item.PartNumber, dbo.ItemShadow.AgreementDurationCode, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeCategory, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeCategoryID, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.Code, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeName, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeAbbreviation, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeShortAbbreviation, dbo.Item.ItemName, dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeMaxcimAbbreviation, dbo.ItemShadow.ItemStatusCode, dbo.ItemShadow.LicenseTypeCode FROM dbo.Item INNER JOIN dbo.ItemShadow ON dbo.Item.ItemID = dbo.ItemShadow.ItemID INNER JOIN dbo.AgreementDurationCode ON dbo.Item.AgreementDurationCodeID = dbo.AgreementDurationCode.CodeID WHERE (dbo.ItemShadow.LicenseTypeCode IN ('SEL', 'OLP', 'OLV')) AND (dbo.ItemShadow.ItemStatusCode = 'COM')
I am using SQL Server 2000. I have 3 fields in my table. I want to do distinct on one field but also want to show the remaining two fields in the result. How can I do that?
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???
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?
