Using SQL Server, I have...
ID SKU PRODUCT
=======================
1 FOO-23 Orange
2 BAR-23 Orange
3 FOO-24 Apple
4 FOO-25 Orange
I want
1 FOO-23 Orange
3 FOO-24 Apple
This query isn't getting me there. How can I SELECT DISTINCT on just one column?
SELECT
[ID],[SKU],[PRODUCT]
FROM [TestData]
WHERE ([PRODUCT] =
(SELECT DISTINCT [PRODUCT] FROM [TestData] WHERE ([SKU] LIKE 'FOO-%'))
ORDER BY [ID]
This question is related to

tsql
distinct
Assuming that you're on SQL Server 2005 or greater, you can use a CTE with ROW_NUMBER():
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT ID, SKU, Product,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY PRODUCT ORDER BY ID) AS RowNumber
FROM MyTable
WHERE SKU LIKE 'FOO%') AS a
WHERE a.RowNumber = 1
Try this:
SELECT * FROM [TestData] WHERE Id IN(SELECT DISTINCT MIN(Id) FROM [TestData] GROUP BY Product)
I know it was asked over 6 years ago, but knowledge is still knowledge. This is different solution than all above, as I had to run it under SQL Server 2000:
DECLARE @TestData TABLE([ID] int, [SKU] char(6), [Product] varchar(15))
INSERT INTO @TestData values (1 ,'FOO-23', 'Orange')
INSERT INTO @TestData values (2 ,'BAR-23', 'Orange')
INSERT INTO @TestData values (3 ,'FOO-24', 'Apple')
INSERT INTO @TestData values (4 ,'FOO-25', 'Orange')
SELECT DISTINCT [ID] = ( SELECT TOP 1 [ID] FROM @TestData Y WHERE Y.[Product] = X.[Product])
,[SKU]= ( SELECT TOP 1 [SKU] FROM @TestData Y WHERE Y.[Product] = X.[Product])
,[PRODUCT]
FROM @TestData X
SELECT min (id) AS 'ID', min(sku) AS 'SKU', Product
FROM TestData
WHERE sku LIKE 'FOO%' -- If you want only the sku that matchs with FOO%
GROUP BY product
ORDER BY 'ID'
Here is a version, basically the same as a couple of the other answers, but that you can copy paste into your SQL server Management Studio to test, (and without generating any unwanted tables), thanks to some inline values.
WITH [TestData]([ID],[SKU],[PRODUCT]) AS
(
SELECT *
FROM (
VALUES
(1, 'FOO-23', 'Orange'),
(2, 'BAR-23', 'Orange'),
(3, 'FOO-24', 'Apple'),
(4, 'FOO-25', 'Orange')
)
AS [TestData]([ID],[SKU],[PRODUCT])
)
SELECT * FROM [TestData] WHERE [ID] IN
(
SELECT MIN([ID])
FROM [TestData]
GROUP BY [PRODUCT]
)
Result
ID SKU PRODUCT
1 FOO-23 Orange
3 FOO-24 Apple
I have ignored the following ...
WHERE ([SKU] LIKE 'FOO-%')
as its only part of the authors faulty code and not part of the question. It's unlikely to be helpful to people looking here.
The simplest solution would be to use a subquery for finding the minimum ID matching your query. In the subquery you use GROUP BY
instead of DISTINCT
:
SELECT * FROM [TestData] WHERE [ID] IN (
SELECT MIN([ID]) FROM [TestData]
WHERE [SKU] LIKE 'FOO-%'
GROUP BY [PRODUCT]
)
try this:
SELECT
t.*
FROM TestData t
INNER JOIN (SELECT
MIN(ID) as MinID
FROM TestData
WHERE SKU LIKE 'FOO-%'
) dt ON t.ID=dt.MinID
EDIT
once the OP corrected his samle output (previously had only ONE result row, now has all shown), this is the correct query:
declare @TestData table (ID int, sku char(6), product varchar(15))
insert into @TestData values (1 , 'FOO-23' ,'Orange')
insert into @TestData values (2 , 'BAR-23' ,'Orange')
insert into @TestData values (3 , 'FOO-24' ,'Apple')
insert into @TestData values (4 , 'FOO-25' ,'Orange')
--basically the same as @Aaron Alton's answer:
SELECT
dt.ID, dt.SKU, dt.Product
FROM (SELECT
ID, SKU, Product, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY PRODUCT ORDER BY ID) AS RowID
FROM @TestData
WHERE SKU LIKE 'FOO-%'
) AS dt
WHERE dt.RowID=1
ORDER BY dt.ID
