Hi Gurus ,
I am using oracle 11.2.0.3 .

First attempt to remove duplicate rows from a table...

I have seen many people asking for a way to remove duplicate rows from data. I made up a fairly simple script. It adds a column to the table with the cell selected in it, and adds the concatenation of the data to the left into that new column. then it reads that into a list, and walks through that list to find any that are listed twice. Any that are it marks for DELETE.
It then walks through to find each one marked for delete and removes them (you must go from bottom to top to do this, otherwise your row markings for delete don't match up to the original rows anymore). Last is to delete the column we added.
tell application "Numbers"
activate
tell document 1
-- DETERMINE THE CURRENT SHEET
set currentsheetindex to 0
repeat with i from 1 to the count of sheets
tell sheet i
set x to the count of (tables whose selection range is not missing value)
end tell
if x is not 0 then
set the currentsheetindex to i
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
if the currentsheetindex is 0 then error "No sheet has a selected table."
-- GET THE TABLE WITH CELLS
tell sheet currentsheetindex
set the current_table to the first table whose selection range is not missing value
end tell
end tell
log current_table
tell current_table
set list1 to {}
add column after column (count of columns)
set z to (count of columns)
repeat with j from 1 to (count of rows)
set m to ""
repeat with i from 1 to (z - 1)
set m to m & value of (cell i of row j)
end repeat
set value of cell z of row j to m
end repeat
set MyRange to value of every cell of column z
repeat with i from 1 to (count of items of MyRange)
set n to item i of MyRange
if n is in list1 then
set end of list1 to "Delete"
else
set end of list1 to n
end if
end repeat
repeat with i from (count of items of list1) to 1 by -1
set n to item i of list1
if n = "Delete" then remove row i
end repeat
remove column z
end tell
end tell
Let me know how it works for y'all, it worked good on my machine, but I know localization is causing errors sometimes when I post things.
Thanks,
Jason

I grab these items in the list

Yes, underscore is a valid name of variable.
I often uses it when I want to drop something.
An alternate way would be to code:
set ll to my decoupe(errMsg, quote)
set theRange to item 2 of ll
set theTable to item 4 of ll
set theSheet to item 8 of ll
set theDoc to item 10 of ll
it works exactly the same but it's not so elegant.

if theSheet = "" then error "No sheet has a selected table."
end tell -- document
(* Now, we send to the caller the interesting datas :

I have tried several different things as well as looking through the forums but have not found anything that will only give me unique records based only on the first column. This query works fine as long as there
are not 2 records returned with column1 being identical.
Final results should look like this:

Remove a row from multiple tables

Hello,
I have a form that has what appears to be one table. Since I needed 30 columns (29 of them are single character fields) I had to use 2 table objects. Then I needed the ability to add and remove rows. Adding a row at the end is easy enough. Deleting a specific row is the problem. At the moment, I added a third table which has a header row and a item body row. the body row is a button with the intention of removing that entire row from the large table. This means it needs to remove the row from all 3 tables.
My structure is:
form1
(Some other flowed subform that doesn't matter for us)
SubformPersonnel (a flowed subform)
SubformHeader (a positioned subform)
TextOverallHeader (text to label the oeverall 3 tables)
ButtonAddRow (adds a row to the end of all 3 tables)
SubformPersonnelTable (a positioned subform)
ContractorTableRemove (a table with 1 column for the Remove button)
HeaderRow (A hidden row to align the table with the other 2)
Item (A row with the Remove button)CellRemoveButton (the cell with the remove button and associated JavaScript)
ContractorTableLeft (a table with the left 15 printed columns)
HeaderRow
Contractor (A row of data to be removed when CellButton above is clicked)
ContractorTableRight (a table with the right 15 printed columns)
HeaderRow
Contractor (A row of data to be removed when CellButton above is clicked)
(Some other flowed subforms that I am not worried about at the moment)
The 3 tables are aligned so the headers all line up, with no spaces between them. The body rows then line up and this looks like one large table. From left to right, they are:
ContractorTableRemove, ContractorTableLeft, ContractorTableRight
So Item and Contractor rows are added when ButtonAddRow is clicked in the overall header. The intial count is set to 8 for each table, so I get 8 rows at startup. The minimum count is set to 1 for each. I know that each row of each table has the same index number because I filled those into a cell in each table durig the cell's initialize. This line, in the CellRemoveButton's click event deletes that cell's row in that table:
this.parent.parent._Item.removeInstance(this.parent.index);
I have tried all sorts of ways to delete the same row (using same index #) in the other 2 tables: ContractorTableLeft and ContractorTableRight, but don't seem to be getting the correct syntax correct. I have tried hard coding the references, using .parent as shown below, and also tried using an index of 1 just to try deleting a row with no results.
     this.parent.parent.parent.ContractorTableLeft._Contractor.removeInstance(this.parent.inde x);
Can someone get me the correct syntax here?
I have seen examples of putting a hidden delete button on each table and clicking that, but I am concerned that it will get in the way of the tables on either side of the table it is in. I reeally want to just reference the row and remove it so I can avoid any problems these additional delete problems may cause.
I have copied the form to https://acrobat.com/#d=7M8R50rEHf4AaVXppwyKLw

Thank you, Niall. Much appreciated!
The Delete button was more to make sure one could delete these outside a button in the actual row and I see I had the index wrong such that I was deleting the second row and not the first. I had toyed with using this as a hidden button if I could pass the index to the event's function.
I had not thought of adding the reference to each row as a variable. It seems to work very well.
For future reference to others, here is the code from the cellRemoveButton click event:
     // Declare some variables
     var i = this.parent.index;
     var oContractorLeft = ContractorTableLeft.Contractor;
     var oContractorRight = ContractorTableRight.Contractor;
     // Remove this row by accessing its index within the set of 'Item' row instances of the parent table
     _Item.removeInstance(i);
      // Since this table is actually 3 tables, we need to remove the other two table's instances as well.
     // Their index should be the same, so we just need to get their names correct.
     oContractorLeft.instanceManager.removeInstance(i);
     oContractorRight.instanceManager.removeInstance(i);
      // removing the row doesn't trigger calculations in tables in the form's current target (fixed in later versions of Acrobat)
     // force calculations to fire so the ItemIndex field's value is updated according to the remaining row's indexes
     // see http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/05/20/add-recalculate/
     xfa.form.recalculate(1);
Again, thank you!

Removing duplicate rows from SELECT

Hi, I was wondering if there was any way to remove duplicate rows from a select statement.
My table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE CUS_ID_TO_PC_ID (
CUSTOMER_ID VARCHAR2 (10) NOT NULL,
PC_ID VARCHAR2 (25) NOT NULL,
PASSWORD VARCHAR2 (25) NOT NULL,
REG_DATE DATE,
PRODUCT_DESC VARCHAR2 (25),
EXPIRE_DATE DATE,
SERIAL_NBR VARCHAR2 (12),
LDAP_USER VARCHAR2 (200),
COMMENTS VARCHAR2 (2000),
PC_ID_5_4 VARCHAR2 (25),
PC_ID_6_0 VARCHAR2 (25),
PASSWORD_5_4 VARCHAR2 (25),
PASSWORD_6_0 VARCHAR2 (25),
PC_ID_6_1 VARCHAR2 (25),
PASSWORD_6_1 VARCHAR2 (25),
OPERATING_SYSTEM VARCHAR2 (20),
STATUS VARCHAR2 (1)
Basically, I want to retrieve all columns from the table but remove all duplicate variations of
the pc_id/serial_nbr combinations.
For example, given this data:
PC_ID SERIAL_NBR CUSTOMER_NO
1234567 AAA C345
1234567 AAA C567
3333333 BBB C456
only the 1st and 3rd rows would be returned.
Any ideas?

Try something like this:
select * from your_table yt
where rowid in (select max(rowid)
from your_tabel yt2
where yt2.pc_id = yt.pc_id
and yt2.serial_nbr = yt.serial_nbr);

Need to Remove Duplicate Rows

Removing Duplicate Rows from resultSet

I have a query pulling data from 5 tables in 12 columns. I have rows where all of the data is duplicated with the exception of one date column. How would I go about deleting rows that are duplicates with the exception of this one column? I still need to pull the date from the date column with the Max(date).
i.e.
Bob Smith 1 2 3 4 12-Jul-2006
Bob Smith 1 2 3 4 02-Aug-2006
Bob Smith 1 2 3 4 21-Jan-2006

How to remove empty row from rfc table output.

Hello,
I am using adaptive rfc and printing table output. The table rows start from 2nd row, the first row being empty. How can I remove the empty first row.
Here is what I tried.
wdContext.nodeDataSource().nodeTableOutput().moveNext();
and
wdContext.nodeDataSource().nodeTableOutput().moveTo(1);
Neither of them worked. Any clue is appreciated.
Srinivas

IWDNodeElement first = wdContext.nodeDataSource().nodeTableOutput().getElementAt(0);

How to delete the duplicate rows from the table

Hi,

For each record in component table there are multiple entries in component_audit table.
I need to keep the first record and delete the others from the component_audit table
say for example
select a.component_id,a.dt_ti_stamp,a.component_name,a.column_before,b.comments from component_audit a,component b where a.component_id=b.component_id
( on the above result set only I shold apply the actual delete query )
PLease help me in this regards.
Thanks.

delete from component_audit a where dt_ti_stamp not in (select
                                        min(b.dt_ti_stamp)
                                   from
                                        component_audit b

Remove Duplicate Rows from Left Outer Join

Hi All,
I am new to Oracle..I have two tables as follow:
TableA(EmpID, Empname)
TableB(EmpID, DeptID, DeptName). A employee can work in multiple dept.
table A has 1 row as EmpID 1 and TableB has two rows for EmpID 1.
I have a search page which takes dept ID as parameter and return employee name...Dept ID is not mandatory feld for Search. If DeptID is passed it should return the employee who belongs to that Dept otherwise it should return 1 employee..
Now I have used as follow:
:IN_DEPTID is passed as parameter
Select EmpName from TableA Left Join tableB on a.EmpID = B.EmpID
WHERE
CASE WHEN :IN_DEPTID IS NULL
IN_DEPTID IS NULL
ELSE|
DEPTID = :IN_DEPTID
Now problem is when Dept ID is passed it correctly returns a row but if no deptid is passed it returns 2 rows but i want ony one row as there is only one employee.
Please help;

Try this
Select
from
     tableA a
where
     (exists (select 1 from tableB b where a.empid = b.empid and deptid = :IN_DEPTID )
     or
     :IN_DEPTID is null) you database design is not good you should keep the emp, department mapping in different table.

Hi again!
Try that:
SELECT rowid, fst_name, last_name, email_addr, work_ph_num, row_id, last_upd, bu_id
FROM ADDT_RPT_REQ A
WHERE rowid > (SELECT MIN(rowid)
               FROM ADDT_RPT_REQ B
               WHERE B.fst_name = A.fst_name
                 AND B.last_name = A.last_name
                 AND B.email_addr = A.email_addr
                 AND B.work_ph_num = A.work_ph_num
                 AND B.row_id = A.row_id
                 AND B.last_upd = A.last_upd
                 AND B.bu_id = A.bu_id);This query should show you all duplicate rows. Use the rowid and DELETE to get rid of these rows.
DELETE FROM addt_rpt_req A
WHERE rowid IN (SELECT rowid
                FROM   (SELECT rowid, row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY fst_name, last_name, email_addr, work_ph_num, row_id, last_upd, bu_id
                                                         ORDER BY row_id) dup
                        FROM addt_rpt_req)
                        WHERE dup > 1);Yours sincerely

Deleting Rows From A Table After Running a Report

I've created a report that inserts rows into a table on the asp page then calls a BI Publisher report to display the data. After running the report in BI Publisher I need to delete the rows from the table that had just been inserted. How is the best way to go about this in BI Publisher?

The best way I know of would be to use an "afterReport trigger".
An afterReport trigger fires after the XML output has been generated.
Thanks,

Trick to remove duplicate entries from tables ?

hi.
i have 53tables which are having duplicate entries and names of all 53 tables r listed in top_t table ?
can any1 provide me solution to show and if possible ask for remove of those duplicates entries from each table if required ?
daily i am removing duplicates manually ....its too tedious now !
can any1 help me out ?

Well, I suppose if the duplication is such that
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM tablename;gives you the required result, then you could have a procedure that made a copy of the table, deleted/truncated the original, then inserted the distinct values back into it.
In 10g you could even use flashback to avoid the temp copy - but it also means you can't use TRUNCATE so whether it's any more efficient I'm not sure. But just for fun and since it's urgent:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE dedupe_table
    ( p_table_name user_tables.table_name%TYPE )
IS
    k_start_timestamp TIMESTAMP := SYSTIMESTAMP;
BEGIN
    SAVEPOINT start_of_dedupe;
    BEGIN
        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DELETE ' || p_table_name;
    EXCEPTION
        WHEN OTHERS THEN
            ROLLBACK TO start_of_dedupe;
            RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR
            ( -20000
            , 'Error deleting ' || UPPER(p_table_name) ||
               CHR(10) || DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE
            , TRUE );
    END;
    BEGIN
        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
        'INSERT INTO ' || p_table_name ||
        ' SELECT DISTINCT * FROM ' || p_table_name || ' AS OF TIMESTAMP :b1'
        USING k_start_timestamp;

            ROLLBACK TO start_of_dedupe;
            RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR
            ( -20000
            , 'Error repopulating ' || UPPER(p_table_name) ||
               CHR(10) || DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE
            , TRUE );
    END;

How to update duplicate row from table

Hi,
how to update duplicate row from table?
First to find duplicate row then update duplicate row with no to that duplicate row in oracle.
can you give me suggestion on it?
Thanks in advance.
your early response is appreciated...

In order to find a duplicate row, see:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1224636375004
(or search this forum, your question has been asked before)
In order to update it, just create and use an Oracle sequence, have it start and increment at a value that doesn't exist in your table.
If that doesn't get you going, post some CREATE TABLE + INSERT INTO statements, and the results you want from them, in other words: a complete testcase.
