Question

I have a table, the table contains:

Code  order  jobseqno  LongDesc
123   1234   1         ToothPaste
123   1234   1         ToothPAste 123
123   1234   1         ToothPAste 125
123   1234   1         ToothPAste 126
124   1234   1         ToothBrush 120
124   1234   1         ToothBrush 129
124   1234   1         ToothBrush 156

The result must be:

Code  order  jobseqno  LongDesc
123   1234   1         ToothPaste
124   1234   1         ToothBrush 120

How can I do that? The Code column is important; if I catch First Code 123, ToothPaste is enough, I don’t need 123 125 126 version. I need a function not Top() not max()? I need second table I need only which has first code(barcode) I must add second table?

Your explanation of what you need is a bit confusing, but based on your desired result:

SELECT Code, Order, jobseqno, MIN(LongDesc)
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY Code, Order, jobseqno
