Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Query to return each value only once
I have a table that is structured as:
coursedate_id number(4) PK
session_no number(4) start_time date end_time date
The data looks like this:
10 202 21-Aug-2003 0800 21-Aug-2003 1200 11 202 22-Aug-2003 0800 22-Aug-2003 1200 12 202 23-Aug-2003 0800 23-Aug-2003 1200 13 203 01-Sep-2003 1330 01-Sep-2003 1430 14 204 02-Sep-2003 0830 02-Sep-2003 1200 15 204 03-Sep-2003 0830 03-Sep-2003 1200
I can run this query which will bring back only the first of repeated rows, but how can I change this to also return rows where the session_no is only used once?
select session_no, start_time from coursedate c1
where rowid not in
(select min(rowid) from coursedate c2
where c1.session_no = c2.session_no)
returns:
202 21-Aug-2003 0800
204 02-Sep-2003 0830
(session_no 203 is not returned because it only appears once in the
table)
My goal is to return each session number ONCE, with the start time, so the result would look like:
202 21-Aug-2003 0800 203 01-Sep-2003 1330 204 02-Sep-2003 0830
What do I need to add to this query to get these results?
Thanks,
Dina
