MS SQL 2005 :: Delphi 7
Dear Experts,
Sometimes you need to select rows from a table which should be retrieved distinctively but fields in the select might have different values. How can you force a group by or a distinctive select on a fields.
Lets say this is what my returning rows look like:
customer#| Date | PaidCash | PaidCreditCard | PaidCheque
--------------------------
601222 1/1/08 1
601222 1/1/08 1
601222 1/1/08 1
I know this example is not very good but what I am trying to explain is that a person might make 3 purchases on the same day and each time use a different paymethod.
Now I would like to group by customer# and just return 1 line showing all the paymethods used....
My current query uses CASE WHEN statement to select the paymethod fields dynamically but understandably it would return a new row for each paymethod. What is the work around for this or how can I change my approach....
My actual scenario deals with part types (for vehicles).
I have a ProductionOrder# which will be the same for several part types. Part Types can be: "Flairs", "Bumpers" etc.... So I would like to return one row (distinct on Productionorder#) for each order and then simply indicating which part types are included on the order by simply flagging the field = "1" or "0". Fields for the part types are selected dynamically. Please see my actual query attached....

Hi there,
Thanks for the comment.
Your query returns the following error when executing:

The multi-part identifier "P.POrderNumber" could not be bound.
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The multi-part identifier "P.ProductionDate" could not be bound.
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The multi-part identifier "P.POrderNumber" could not be bound.
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

In AngelIII's query, the position of the GROUP BY and the alias used are not getting along. Try this:
SELECT POrderNumber, ProductionDate, CheckPointCode, Color
, SUM([ Flares]) [ Flares]
, SUM([ Bumper]) [ Bumper]
, SUM([ Side_Gate]) [ Side_Gate]
, SUM([ Door_Moulding]) [ Door_Moulding]
, SUM([ Tail_Gate_Garnish]) [ Tail_Gate_Garnish]
FROM (
SELECT P.POrderNumber
, P.ProductionDate
, COALESCE((SELECT A.CheckPointCode FROM tblAfterjig A WHERE A.POrderNumber = P.POrderNumber AND A.Deleted = 0 AND A.CheckPointCode = '0945'), 'Prejig') AS CheckPointCode
, COALESCE((SELECT TOP 1 C.Description FROM tblPartTypes PT LEFT OUTER JOIN tblParts PART ON PART.PartTypeID = PT.PartTypeID LEFT OUTER JOIN tblColors C ON PART.ColorID = C.ColorID WHERE PT.IsBodyColor = 1 AND PART.PartNumber = P.ItemNumber), '***Part Number Missing Color***') AS Color
,CASE WHEN (PT.PartTypeNumber) = 'Flares' THEN 1 END AS [ Flares]
,CASE WHEN (PT.PartTypeNumber) = 'Bumper' THEN 1 END AS [ Bumper]
,CASE WHEN (PT.PartTypeNumber) = 'Side Gate' THEN 1 END AS [ Side_Gate]
,CASE WHEN (PT.PartTypeNumber) = 'Door Moulding' THEN 1 END AS [ Door_Moulding]
,CASE WHEN (PT.PartTypeNumber) = 'Tail Gate Garnish' THEN 1 END AS [ Tail_Gate_Garnish]
FROM tblPrejig P
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblParts PA
ON P.ItemNumber = PA.PartNumber
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblPartTypes PT
ON PA.PartTypeID = PT.PartTypeID
WHERE P.Deleted = 0
AND P.CalledOff = 0
AND P.ModelCode IN (SELECT M1.ModelCode FROM tblModels M1 WHERE M1.Deleted = 0)
) sq
GROUP BY sq.POrderNumber, sq.ProductionDate, Color
ORDER BY sq.POrderNumber, sq.ProductionDate ASC
Or if that doesn't work, try:
SELECT POrderNumber, ProductionDate, CheckPointCode, Color
, SUM([ Flares]) [ Flares]
, SUM([ Bumper]) [ Bumper]
, SUM([ Side_Gate]) [ Side_Gate]
, SUM([ Door_Moulding]) [ Door_Moulding]
, SUM([ Tail_Gate_Garnish]) [ Tail_Gate_Garnish]
FROM (
SELECT P.POrderNumber
, P.ProductionDate
, COALESCE((SELECT A.CheckPointCode FROM tblAfterjig A WHERE A.POrderNumber = P.POrderNumber AND A.Deleted = 0 AND A.CheckPointCode = '0945'), 'Prejig') AS CheckPointCode
, COALESCE((SELECT TOP 1 C.Description FROM tblPartTypes PT LEFT OUTER JOIN tblParts PART ON PART.PartTypeID = PT.PartTypeID LEFT OUTER JOIN tblColors C ON PART.ColorID = C.ColorID WHERE PT.IsBodyColor = 1 AND PART.PartNumber = P.ItemNumber), '***Part Number Missing Color***') AS Color
,CASE WHEN (PT.PartTypeNumber) = 'Flares' THEN 1 END AS [ Flares]
,CASE WHEN (PT.PartTypeNumber) = 'Bumper' THEN 1 END AS [ Bumper]
,CASE WHEN (PT.PartTypeNumber) = 'Side Gate' THEN 1 END AS [ Side_Gate]
,CASE WHEN (PT.PartTypeNumber) = 'Door Moulding' THEN 1 END AS [ Door_Moulding]
,CASE WHEN (PT.PartTypeNumber) = 'Tail Gate Garnish' THEN 1 END AS [ Tail_Gate_Garnish]
FROM tblPrejig P
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblParts PA
ON P.ItemNumber = PA.PartNumber
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblPartTypes PT
ON PA.PartTypeID = PT.PartTypeID
WHERE P.Deleted = 0
AND P.CalledOff = 0
AND P.ModelCode IN (SELECT M1.ModelCode FROM tblModels M1 WHERE M1.Deleted = 0)
GROUP BY P.POrderNumber, P.ProductionDate, Color
ORDER BY P.POrderNumber, P.ProductionDate ASC
) sq
btw, the solution is AngelIII's. I have just (I hope) assisted.

Still the following error:
"The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions, unless TOP or FOR XML is also specified."
