    Hi,

    I need to select only one set of record from a set of duplicate records . Below is my query .

    SELECT DISTINCT ...

    Since you're using DISTINCT, what are you calling a dupe? You need to post some more information before anyone can help you because we just don't have access to your data nore what the business rules for that data are.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
