Question

I have a table that contains the following data:

- DATEURM     IDV    UNID
- 2013-02-02  15259  W0L0TGF0572 
- 2013-02-02  15259  W0L0TGF0572
- 2013-02-02  15674  ZFA18503158 
- 2013-02-02  16157  ZFA18503158
- 2013-02-02  16157  ZFA18503158
- ...

and i use this query to select data from it:

SELECT * FROM TBL order_date WHERE DATEURM BETWEEN DATE 'today'+10 AND DATE 'today'+40 order by DATEURM asc ROWS 50

What I would like is to not get duplicate rows of the UNID column and the result be something like:

- DATEURM  IDV UNID
- 2013-02-02  15259  W0L0TGF0572 
- 2013-02-02  16157  ZFA18503158
- ...

I played around with DISTINCT and GROUP BY but didn’t manage to get any good result after a few hours 🙁

Answer 1

From your comment, you say now you want one row per unid and you don’t mind which other values you get, so try this:

SELECT unid, min(dateurm) dateurm, min(idv) idv 
  FROM order_date
 WHERE DATEURM BETWEEN current_date + 10 AND current_date + 40
 group by unid
 order by 2

over the same data I get:

UNID        DATEURM             IDV
