Ok, if I just use
SELECT DISTINCT CONVERT(varchar(10),TransactionDate,104) FROM
i2b_keytransactionlog
then I get the desired result but my problem is that I need to include
Transactiondate as it is stored in the database.
Like this:
02.04.2004 2004-04-02 00:12:00
02.04.2004 2004-04-02 02:30:00
07.04.2004 2004-04-07 02:54:00
09.04.2004 2004-04-09 03:13:00
First column is the text of the drop-down item and the second column is the
value of the drop down item.
Any chance I can do a SELECT DISTINCT on this?

Dear Group
Here's some more info and why the problem comes up as I just found out.
SELECT DISTINCT TransactionDate FROM i2b_keytransactionlog
Produces this Result:
2004-04-02 00:12:00
2004-04-02 02:30:00
2004-04-07 02:54:00
2004-04-09 03:13:00
Of course I would get all values as the time is different. In VB all times
show as 00:00:00 so that's why I was confused.
Any chance to do a Distinct on the date only, not the time?
Thanks for your time and efforts!

I'm having trouble with the clause below. I would like to select only
records with a distinct TransactionDate but somehow it still lists
duplicates. I need to select the TransactionDate once as smalldatetime
and once as varchar as I'm populating a drop-down with Text/Value pairs. So
I can't just use 'SELECT DISTINCT TransactionDate FROM...'
I'm grateful for any hints.
SELECT DISTINCT (TransactionDate),
CONVERT(varchar(10),TransactionDate,104) AS LabelTransactionDate FROM i2b_keytransactionlog WHERE ProgClientID =
@ProgClientID ORDER BY TransactionDate ASC
Thanks for your time & efforts!
Martin
