T-sqL Query Help

Question

Hi I have one table that is having following data
Table : Test
 Code    Amount
   1      200
   1      500
   2      600
   3      900
   3      1000
Table : codeDesc
IdentityColumn       Code   CodeDes
1                     1     Purchase
2                     1     Purchase Dept
3                     2     Sales
4                     2     Sales Group
5                     3     Finance
6                     3     finance Budget
7                     3     Financial
Now When I join Test table with CodeDesc to get Description I am getting distinct description for for that code like below
Code      CodeDesc            Amount
1         Purchase            200
1         Purchase Dept       500
2         Sales Group         600
3         finance             900
3         financial           1000
Now in abbe table output I am getting multiple CodeDesc for same code for example Code 1 =Purchase and Purchase Dept.Instead of it I want to give same CodeDesc doesn't matter which one.But It should be consistent
so both can be either Purchase or Purchase Dept

Answer 1

Try this code
CREATE TABLE Test
([Code] int, [Amount] int)
INSERT INTO Test
([Code], [Amount])
VALUES
(1, 200),
(1, 500),
(2, 600),
(3, 900),
(3, 1000)
CREATE TABLE CodeDesc
([IdentityColumn] int, [Code] int, [CodeDes] varchar(14))
INSERT INTO CodeDesc
([IdentityColumn], [Code], [CodeDes])
VALUES
(1, 1, 'Purchase'),
(2, 1, 'Purchase Dept'),
(3, 2, 'Sales'),
(4, 2, 'Sales Group'),
(5, 3, 'Finance'),
(6, 3, 'finance Budget'),
(7, 3, 'Financial')
SELECT *, (SELECT TOP 1 CodeDes FROM CODEDESC WHERE T.code=code)FROM TEST T
