SELECT DISTINCT

I get this by the following query:

SELECT Column_Name FROM TableName GROUP BY Column_Name HAVING ( COUNT(Column_Name) >= 1 );

I get this by the following query:
SELECT Column_Name FROM TableName GROUP BY Column_Name HAVING ( COUNT(Column_Name) >= 1 );

Can you post the actual query you are using? The query above, as it stands, would eliminate dupes.

SELECT Column_Name FROM TableName GROUP BY Column_Name HAVING ( COUNT(Column_Name) >= 1 );

Inbetween SELECT and Column_Name add the keyword DISTINCT - That should eliminate duplicates from the output.

My actual query is:

here Name is the fieldName and Employee is the TableName;

SELECT Name FROM Employee GROUP BY Name HAVING ( COUNT(Name) >= 1 );

From this query I got the solution.

Is there any wrong here;

Try this

SELECT DISTINCT Name FROM Employee GROUP BY Name HAVING ( COUNT(Name) >= 1 );

Translation problem 🙂

Is this your solution or the query you use to obtain the list from your first post?

SELECT Column_Name

FROM (

SELECT Column_Name = 'sqlserver' UNION ALL

SELECT 'sqlserver' UNION ALL

SELECT 'server' UNION ALL

SELECT 'sql' UNION ALL

SELECT 'abcde'

) TableName

GROUP BY Column_Name HAVING ( COUNT(Column_Name) >= 1 )

-- results:

-- abcde

-- server

-- sql

-- sqlserver

I'm puzzled about the inclusion of the HAVING ( COUNT(Column_Name) >= 1 ) bit. Every value that exists in Column_Name will have one or more occurrences, so this doesn't do anything except add a few extra operators to the query plan...you'll get the exact same result set if you leave the HAVING clause off altogether.

There is no significant difference in execution plans between GROUP BY and DISTINCT. Each produces a list of unique values, DISTINCT just doesn't require that aggregations be taken at the same time.

Jon is right, the HAVING clause is not needed in this instance.

Either of the following would produce a de-duped list of column names

SELECT DISTINCT Column_Name

FROM (

SELECT Column_Name = 'sqlserver' UNION ALL

SELECT 'sqlserver' UNION ALL

SELECT 'server' UNION ALL

SELECT 'sql' UNION ALL

SELECT 'abcde'

) TableName

SELECT Column_Name,COUNT(*)

FROM (

SELECT Column_Name = 'sqlserver' UNION ALL

SELECT 'sqlserver' UNION ALL

SELECT 'server' UNION ALL

SELECT 'sql' UNION ALL

SELECT 'abcde'

) TableName

GROUP BY Column_Name
