SQL (Group by)

Hi,

I have a select statement that I just want to group by

EditTime and AppID

instead of grouping by

EditTime
, AppID
, AppName
, MajorUpgradeCost
, PlannedUpgradeYear
, UpgradeStrategy
, SoftwareVersion
, OldestVersionSupportedBySupplier
, EmployeeName

but I do want to select all the above field but I just want to group by the "EditTime" and "AppID"
How can I do this?

SELECT
      EditTime
    , AppID
    , AppName
    , MajorUpgradeCost
    , PlannedUpgradeYear
    , UpgradeStrategy
    , SoftwareVersion
    , OldestVersionSupportedBySupplier
    , EmployeeName
FROM EDIT_ApplicationDescription
WHERE ((datalength(SoftwareVersion)!=0) and ((SoftwareVersion != '')  or (SoftwareVersion IS NOT NULL) or (SoftwareVersion <> '')))
or  
 ((datalength(MajorUpgradeCost)!=0) and ((MajorUpgradeCost != '')  or (MajorUpgradeCost IS NOT NULL) or (MajorUpgradeCost <> '')))
or 
((datalength(PlannedUpgradeYear)!=0) and ((PlannedUpgradeYear != '')  or (PlannedUpgradeYear IS NOT NULL) or (PlannedUpgradeYear <> '')))
or
((datalength(UpgradeStrategy)!=0) and ((UpgradeStrategy != '')  or (UpgradeStrategy IS NOT NULL) or (UpgradeStrategy <> '')))
or 
((datalength(OldestVersionSupportedBySupplier)!=0) and ((OldestVersionSupportedBySupplier != '')  or (OldestVersionSupportedBySupplier IS NOT NULL) 
or (OldestVersionSupportedBySupplier <> '')))
group by AppID, EditTime, AppName
    , MajorUpgradeCost
    , PlannedUpgradeYear
    , UpgradeStrategy
    , SoftwareVersion
    , OldestVersionSupportedBySupplier
    , EmployeeName
order by EditTime desc

Just a thought, I don't see any aggregate functions like SUM(), MIN(), MAX(), COUNT(), etc., so why are we grouping in the first place?

If you only want to return unique rows, change SELECT to SELECT DISTINCT.

If there's something else you need, spell it out in this question, specifically 'I want to do {x} with {all columns other than {"EditTime" and "AppID"}'
