what is defined as a duplicate, is it one field or the whole row

u could try placing DISTINCT or DISTINCTROW after the initial select
i.e.
select distinct a, b, c from mytable

difference between distinct and distinctrow

distinct: removes records that contains duplicate data in the selected fields
distinctrow: removes on whole record rather than fields

Hello, i need some help if possible... i have a payments table with over 500 records i want to run a query that searches through the table spotting out any duplicate ID#'s and Dates. So basically it will run a search spotting out duplicate ID#'s. Than with in those ID#'s spot out duplicate dates. I could do this by eye and spend hours spotting out the duplicated dates, but it would be much easier and funner having a script do it for you.

Hi All, This might quite simple process for some but I am finding it really difficult to do. What is required is not a standard Duplicate query but a variation on it. For example I have following records: ID_Number Date Name Amount 100 1/1/02 Andrew $100.00 101 1/1/02 Andrew $100.00 102 2/1/02 Andrew $100.00
