Hi All,

I have the following query. *For a few records, it returns duplicate
CUSTOMER_ID's, though the rest of the record values are different.

So the query is returning distinct records.

I want 1 record per CUSTOMER_ID, regardless of the other values.

Why? *What is the purpose of that requirement?



* *SELECT co.customer_id c_id, engine.calc_end_date (co.order_date,
p.quantity, p.quantity_uom) end_date,
* * * * * DECODE(ns.subscr_type, 'Trial', 'Trial', 'Test', 'Trial',
'Paid') subscr_type
* *FROM engine.customer_order co, engine.order_line ol, engine.product
p, product.newsletter_subscription ns
* *WHERE co.order_id = ol.order_id
* *AND ol.product_id = p.product_id
* *AND p.code = ns.code
* *AND p.subproduct_id IN (197, 202, 209, 216, 220, 222)
* *AND ol.status = 'Active'
* *ORDER BY co.customer_id;

Still working a solution.

Possibly you haven't tried hard enough:

select c_id, max(end_date), max(subscriber_type)
from
( * SELECT co.customer_id c_id, engine.calc_end_date (co.order_date,
p.quantity, p.quantity_uom) end_date,
* * * * * DECODE(ns.subscr_type, 'Trial', 'Trial', 'Test', 'Trial',
'Paid') subscr_type
* *FROM engine.customer_order co, engine.order_line ol,
engine.product
p, product.newsletter_subscription ns
* *WHERE co.order_id = ol.order_id
* *AND ol.product_id = p.product_id
* *AND p.code = ns.code
* *AND p.subproduct_id IN (197, 202, 209, 216, 220, 222)
* *AND ol.status = 'Active' )
group by c_id
order by c_id;

The query above should provide you one record per customer id; how
useful that data will be remains to be seen.

I'll give that a try Dave. As always, thank you. I did try this for
about 2 hours with no avail......

Then DON'T select the other values (if you don't care about them)....

Actually I do need them, as they are used later in another
query.......
But what good are they? If you have the same customer id with
different end dates and subscr_types but you only choose one of them
with no regard for which one you choose how can the other columns be
of any value?
