Thanks you but I probably I don't express myself in a good way.
When I say I want to ingnore the values of the ID I don't mean that I don't want the ID field on the query result. I mean that I want all fields (including the ID field) but I want one record for each description with any ID SQL chooses to return to me.
Is this possible ?
you mention to use the GROUP BY clause. I tired several ways without sucess and also read all documentation on SQL Books online about the group by clause and can't figure out how can group by help me.
Will you explain me better please what are you trying to say on your last post ?

try this again
select distinct Description, ID, Date, Flag
From "table"

Already tried that and it doesn't work.
It seems sql server is applying the distinct clause to all record and not the description field.

Do something similar to this
CREATE TABLE #TEMP (
[role] [varbinary] (2048),
[name] [varchar] (51)
)
declare @currentrole varbinary(2048)
declare @lastrole varbinary(2048)
declare @name varchar(20)
declare usr_cusror CURSOR FOR
select roles, [name] from sysusers order by roles
OPEN usr_cusror
FETCH usr_cusror INTO @currentrole, @name
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS=0)
BEGIN
IF ( @lastrole <> @currentrole )
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #TEMP VALUES(@currentrole,@name)
END
SET @lastrole = @currentrole
FETCH usr_cusror INTO @currentrole, @name
END
CLOSE usr_cusror
DEALLOCATE usr_cusror
SELECT * from #TEMP
DROP TABLE #TEMP

In SQL Server (maybe in SQL language in general), if a field of a table has an index on it, and this field is searched with LIKE, its index won't be used if the argument to LIKE starts with the jolly char "%".
I'm trying to speed up the search and i'd like to know if someone here has some ideas.
The customer would accept a search for whole word, so currently the idea would be to create a separate search table, whose record would contain the fields of the primary key of the main table plus another field which would contain a single word from the main table; this field would have an index.
The search table would be populated by a trigger which would parse the content of the field of the main table and would insert one record into the search table for every parsed word from the main table.
Do anyone has other possible solutions to try, or even just some considerations ?

Fulltext search will do that and more if you are able to enable it.

Yes, i've just got the very same advice. At the moment i'm not able to enable it even because i didn't even know about it. Now i'll try to learn it. Thanks!

At http://www.windowsitpro.com/SQLServer/Article/ArticleID/8828/8828.html i see this sentence in the section "Disadvantages of Full-Text Search":
[i]7. You can only use a wildcard (asterisk) as a placeholder for suffixes; you can't use a wildcard at the beginning of a search string. (For example, to find all occurrences of "sailboat," you need type "sail*" instead of "*boat.")[/i]
If i understand that correctly, that makes Full-Text Search useless to me; however, at the moment that also makes Full-Text Search look to me like useless in absolute, because i can't see anymore what does it do more or better than normal search.
But since it's impossible that Full-Text Search doesn't do anything more or better that normal search, this means that i'll need to better understand the whole matter.

Try to do little home work on Distributed Transaction if you want to update into different database.

I have a big problem with MS.Access. Now, I have two databases (DB). The problem is that I want to add a record to the first DB and the result I expect that that record is exist in the second DB automatically. In addition, two DBs are on the two computers. Thanks...
|

|
|
Create a third db (database) with the tables for the two dbs in a single located server point. Use linked tables on client dbs versions to the link central version of the tables. You can now run multiple clients off the same back end db.

Maybe my question is not clearly. The problem is that I want to control (add, remove, delete, or update a record of a table) the remote database of MS.Access on another computer when I'm from a database of Access on my computer.

I think "Distributed Transaction" is not exist in MS.Access. How I control (add,remove,delete,or update a record of a table) the remote database of Access when I'm from a database of Access. Two databases are also on two computers.

Sorry that was a mistake.
If it is access you have to ensure that both database table got Inserted/Deleted/Updated.
Otherwise you have to upgrade your access to Sql Server or other.

I am trying to dubug some of stored procedure which is located in my local server and as well as database which is located in network.
I followed all steps which found in Sql Server 2000 help. But the moment i start debug, the debugger is not allowing me to step into/throu.
Why this ? What will be the issue.

You can copy the body of your sp to Query Analyzer and debug it there. Replacing input variables foe DECLARES and use SET @Variable to set intial conditions.
|

|

That is what i am doing. But the moment i try to start debug, the Queary analyzer won't allow me to do setu throu/down. It completes the Sp execution automatically.
