Finding duplicates sql only displaying one
I have this query that finds duplicate records. What I need it to do is display ONE of the records. Example, I have two records with PATNUM of 12345 and SURGEON of SMITH, I want it to only display ONE time in my results.
SELECT * FROM patientinfo1 a WHERE exists(select 1 from patientinfo1 where ID=a.ID group by PATNUM,SURGEON having count(*)>1)
SELECT * FROM patientinfo1 a WHERE exists(select 1 from patientinfo1 where ID=a.ID group by PATNUM,SURGEON having count(*)>1)
