Answer 1

As Ronnis mentioned, I’m not sure how you are ordering the rows, but this is how you would do it in general. Note just substitute the correct ordering in the ORDER BY clauses.

SELECT DISTINCT R_ID
    , first_value(D_ID) over (partition by R_ID order by D_ID) D_ID
    , first_value(DEPT) over (partition by R_ID order by D_ID) DEPT
FROM your_table
ORDER BY R_ID;

Hope this helps!
