When I run the attached query, I get duplicates when there is one to
many relationship between tableA and tableB. The query, tested schema
and the result is attached. Sorry for the long post.
Here is tested Schema and Data inserts.
----------------------
create table TestTblA
(ShipDate datetime,
CPEID varchar(30),
phonenum char(14))
go
create table TestTblB
(CPEID varchar(30),
itemID varchar(30),
active char(1))
go
create table TestTblC
(itemID varchar(30),
descr varchar(50))
go
insert into TestTblA values (getdate(),'TWM UA','(408)-555-1211')
insert into TestTblA values (getdate(),'TWM UA','(408)-555-1212')
insert into TestTblA values (getdate(),'TWM UB','(408)-555-1211')
insert into TestTblA values (getdate(),'TWM UB','(408)-555-1212')
insert into TestTblA values (getdate(),'TWM UB','(408)-555-1213')
insert into TestTblA values (getdate(),'TWM UC','(408)-555-1211')
insert into TestTblA values (getdate(),'TWM UC','(408)-555-1212')
insert into TestTblA values (getdate(),'TWM UC','(408)-555-1213')
insert into TestTblA values (getdate(),'WWE XI','(408)-555-1211')
insert into TestTblA values (getdate(),'WWE XI','(408)-555-1212')
insert into TestTblA values (getdate(),'WWE XI','(408)-555-1211')
insert into TestTblB values ('TWMUA','1000-000043-000','Y')
insert into TestTblB values ('TWMUB','1000-100002-001','Y')
insert into TestTblB values ('TWMUC','1000-200005-000','Y')
insert into TestTblB values ('WWEXI','1000-401001-000','Y')
insert into TestTblB values ('WWEXI','1000-401002-000','Y')
insert into TestTblC values ('1000-000043-000','descrUA')
insert into TestTblC values ('1000-100002-001','descrUB')
insert into TestTblC values ('1000-200005-000','descrUC')
insert into TestTblC values ('1000-401001-000','descrWW')
insert into TestTblC values ('1000-401002-000','descrWW')
----------------Query follows------------
SELECT A.ShipDate,A.CP EId,
ItemId = CASE
WHEN A.CPEId = 'TWMUA' THEN 'New - Single User'
WHEN A.CPEID = 'TWMUB' THEN 'New - Multi User'
WHEN A.CPEID = 'TWMUC' THEN 'New - Triple User'
When B.ITEMID is NULL THEN 'Unknown'
When B.ITEMID = ' ' THEN 'Unknown'

end,
MODEL_NO = Case

When B.ITEMID = '1000-100002-001' Then rtrim(C.DESCR)
When B.ITEMID = '1000-200005-000' Then rtrim(C.DESCR)

end ,
COUNT(A.phonenu m)

b.active = 'Y'
LEFT OUTER JOIN TestTblC C ON B.ItemId=C.ITEM ID
GROUP BY A.ShipDate,A.CP EId,B.ItemId,C. DESCR
ORDER BY A.ShipDate,A.CP EId,B.ItemId,C. DESCR
---- end of query
The result (modified the output format to fit a single line)
ShipDate CPEId ItemId MODEL_NO Count
2003-07-18 TWMUA New - Single User descrUA 2
2003-07-18 TWMUB New - Multi User descrUB 3
2003-07-18 TWMUC New - Triple User descrUC 3
2003-07-18 WWEXI 1000-401001-000 NULL 3
2003-07-18 WWEXI 1000-401002-000 NULL 3
** The problem **
I need WWEXI or any similar entry to only show once, it shows twice.
Thanks for your help. 3 12905

Thanks for the tables and sample data. However, I'm afraid that I don't
understand what result you are desiring. WWEXI shows up twice, but your
GROUP BY reads:
GROUP BY A.ShipDate, A.CPEId, B.ItemId, C.DESCR
So if there is more than one shipdate, itemid or description for any
cpeid, it will show up twice. In the sample data, there are two different
itemid. Which of them should be include in the output? And should the
Count column be 3 or 6? And if there are two shipdates for the same cpeid,
should there still only be one row?

Right. Sorry about that. I need the first entry (ItemID) of the
matching CPEID to show where there is more than one match between
TestTblA and TestTblB. So for each day, I need a count for entries in
TestTblA and pull the first matching entry for CPEID from TestTblB
(itemID). So the count would be only 3 in this case but because there
are 2 entries TestTblB, it duplicates them showing 3 entries for each
day with different ItemID from TestTblB. I hope that helps. Sorry
again, I didn't create the schema just pulling data. Thanks for your
valuable input in these boards Erland, you have saved me a lot of
time.

Here is a query which appears to give the result you are asking for.
However, I like to stress that I know about nothing your real business
problem, and this is a mere guess. You need to test this thoroughly, to
see if you get the desired result.
The change I have made is introduce a derived table. I don't know if
you are acquainted with this feature in SQL, but this is a very powerful
tool.
SELECT A.ShipDate, A.CPEId,
ItemId = CASE WHEN A.CPEId = 'TWMUA' THEN 'New - Single User'
WHEN A.CPEID = 'TWMUB' THEN 'New - Multi User'
WHEN A.CPEID = 'TWMUC' THEN 'New - Triple User'
WHEN coalesce(B.ITEM ID, ' ') = ' ' THEN 'Unknown'
ELSE B.ItemId
END,
MODEL_NO = CASE WHEN B.ITEMID = '1000-000043-000' THEN rtrim(C.DESCR)
WHEN B.ITEMID = '1000-100002-001' THEN rtrim(C.DESCR)
WHEN B.ITEMID = '1000-200005-000' THEN rtrim(C.DESCR)
WHEN A.CPEId = 'TWMUA' THEN '1100'
WHEN A.CPEID = 'TWMUB' THEN '1100'
WHEN A.CPEID = 'TWMUC' THEN '1000SW'
WHEN C.DESCR IS NULL THEN 'Unknown'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END,
COUNT(A.phonenu m)
FROM TestTblA A
LEFT JOIN (SELECT CPEID, itemID = MIN(itemID)
FROM TestTblB
WHERE active = 'Y'
GROUP BY CPEID) AS B ON A.CPEID = B.CPEID
LEFT JOIN TestTblC C ON B.ItemId = C.ITEMID
GROUP BY A.ShipDate, A.CPEId, B.ItemId, C.DESCR
ORDER BY A.ShipDate, A.CPEId, B.ItemId, C.DESCR

Hello everybody,
I have the following question.
As a join clause on Oracle we use " table1.field1 = table2.field1 (+) "
On SQL Server we use " table1.field1 *= table2.field1 "
Does DB2 have the same type of operator, without using the OUTER JOIN
syntax ?

i have two tables, tab1 having N1 col and tab2 N2 col. now N1 is subset

I need the information from tab2 (having N2) of all rows having the

For this i am using Inner Join on cols N1 and n2. But result is giving
duplicate rows. Can anyone suggest how do u i remove those duplicate
rows? or may be a better way to do the above work... Thanks

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
