Hello,

This is my first time posting. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to write a query that will list all customers and the purchases each has made. For example, customer A could have made 5 purchasese. I would like to list all customers and their purchases from a table.

How would I write this query?

select customer, purchase
from table aaa
group by customer ?????

Thanks for your help!
KevinC.

Without the description of your table we can't help you.

sorry.

The table key is customer ID. The table contains customer and purchase information. Each customer could appear multiple times as multiple rows. Each customer row contains a purchase for that customer.

Is there a way to select only customers who have multiple purchases that are unique within the customer? Meaning each purchase is different, no same purchase for the customer.

for example:
customer123 toy
customer123 t-shirt
customer123 shoe

Is this enough inofrmation?

Thanks,
KevinC.

my suggestion, swing by Borders Books and buy "SQL FOR DUMMIES", or some other similar introductory book on SQL.

Twenty dollars and three hours later you will be writing plenty of SQL.

Good luck, Kevin
