*** I need to pull back just one record when more than one is listed.... **

Question

I have two (or more sometimes), there is a field called POC_type and then the POC_name, the POC_Name is different, but the rest of the records are the same, I only want to pull back the first record so I onlist one POC_Type, Name, ...
Below is the code I have right nwo, but like I said it is pulling back multiples becase they have been entered into the systme twice (because of the diff POCs)...
select distinct m1.*
from  report_surv_ques_poc m1,
  (select investment_id, investment_acronym, investment_name, count(*)
  from  mv_surv_ques_poc
  where poc_type = 'Program Manager'
  and poc_status = 1
  group by investment_id, investment_acronym, investment_name
  having count(*) > 1) m2
where m1.investment_id = m2.investment_id
  and m1.poc_type = 'Program Manager'
  and m1.poc_status = 1
  --and m1.investment_id = 14003
order by m1.investment_id

Answer 1

Thanks...
I am using 10g.
My code is now like...
select distinct m1.*
from  report_surv_ques_poc m1,
  (select investment_id, investment_acronym, investment_name, count(*)
  from  mv_surv_ques_poc
  where poc_type = 'Program Manager'
  and poc_status = 1
  group by investment_id, investment_acronym, investment_name
  having count(*) > 1) m2
where m1.investment_id = m2.investment_id
  and m1.poc_type = 'Program Manager'
  and m1.poc_status = 1
  and m1.survey_id IN (67201, 67208)
order by m1.survey_idshould it be like:
WITH get_rows AS
   SELECT DISTICT ml.* ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY m1.investment_id) AS rno
   FROM from  report_surv_ques_poc m1,
     (select investment_id, investment_acronym, investment_name, count(*)
        from  mv_surv_ques_poc
      where poc_type = 'Program Manager'
        and poc_status = 1
   group by investment_id, investment_acronym, investment_name
  having count(*) > 1) m2
  where m1.investment_id = m2.investment_id
  and m1.poc_type = 'Program Manager'
  and m1.poc_status = 1
) SELECT * FROM get_rows WHERE rno =1;cause that is not working ... I am sure I have something wrong....
