  All,

  I want to add code at the end of duplicate names.

  create table emp

  (

  ecode char(5),

  ename varchar(30)

  )

  insert into emp values ('A0001','Marshall')

  insert into emp values ('A0002','Tony')

  insert into emp values ('A0003','Lorenz')

  insert into emp values ('A0004','Kavi')

  insert into emp values ('A0005','Kavi')

  insert into emp values ('A0006','Brandon')

  insert into emp values ('A0007','Jack')

  insert into emp values ('A0008','Steve')

  insert into emp values ('A0009','Rock')

  insert into emp values ('A0010','Ranjit')

  insert into emp values ('A0011','Rajesh')

  insert into emp values ('A0012','Rajesh')

  Expected output:

  Name

  Marshall

  Tony

  Lorenz

  Kavi A0004

  Kavi A0005

  Brandon

  Jack

  Steve

  Rock

  Ranjit

  Rajesh A0011

  Rajesh A0012

  If the name is not a duplicate one, then no need to add the code.

  Try with this :

  select ename + ' ' + (case when ((select count(*) from emp where ename=e.ename) > 1 ) then ecode else '' end) as ename from emp e

  FROM emp
