| Hey there,
| i would really appreciate some help as this is driving me crazy!!!!
| I have a query that runs over two tables. (these are simplified
| versions!)
|
| Table A AID text
| ---------------------------------
| 1 blah
| 2 foobar
|
| Table B BID AID text date
| -----------------------------------------------------------------
| 1 1 blah date x
| 2 1 more blah date y
| 3 1 even more blah date z
|
| Simply put the query i used to run was:
| SELECT DISTINCT A.AID, A.TEXT FROM A, B WHERE A.ID = B.ID AND mydate >=
| BID.date.
| Using Oracle 10g.1 this query used to work perfect where it would
| return just one row of AID and text.
| My DBA recently upgraded to Oracle 10g.2 and all hell broke loose in
| the system! This query no longer works at all, and no amount of
| tinkering i do i cannot get it to work. this query will now return
| every row in table B that has the unique Id of table A. It is as if the
| distinct clause has just stopped working.
|
| this is driving me nuts and i would be glad if someone could help me.
| Even if its to say "hey dummy, of course thats not gonna work you need
| to do this" :-)
|
| Thank you,
| J.
|

Hey dummy, if you copy/paste what you actually done maybe we can help you, there it is just blahblah even your query is wrong.
