Use CTE feature of SQL server 2005.....
Example:
;WITH SalesCTE(Product, SaleDate, SalePrice, Ranking)
AS
(
SELECT
Product, SaleDate, SalePrice,
Ranking = DENSE_RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY Product, SaleDate, SalePrice ORDER BY NEWID() ASC)
FROM SalesHistory
)
DELETE FROM SalesCTE
WHERE Ranking > 1

Hi,
This query works for SQL Server2005,but try to convert for Access2007.
A)
CREATE TABLE #tmpData
(
id INT IDENTITY(1,1),
custname VARCHAR(MAX)
)
INSERT INTO #tmpData
SELECT m.Customername
FROM mytable1 m
GROUP BY m.Customername,m.phonenumber,m.city,m.street HAVING COUNT(m.Customername)>1
DECLARE @i AS INT
DECLARE @query AS nvarCHAR(MAX)
SET @i=0
SET @query = 'select * from mytable1 where customername in ('
WHILE(@i<(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #tmpData))
BEGIN
SET @i=@i+1
SET @query=@query+(SELECT char(39)+custname + char(39) FROM #tmpData WHERE id=@i)+','
END
SET @query=SUBSTRING(@query,1,LEN(@query)-1)
SET @query=@query+')'
EXEC( @query)
DROP TABLE #tmpData
I just played around and found too way to work for Access (I tested it on Access 2003 and not for 2007 version,but i think it should work too for Access2007 version)
B)
select a.id,a.Customername , a.phonenumber, a.city, a.street
from mytable1 a
inner join
(select Customername , phonenumber, city, street
from mytable1
group by customername,phonenumber,city,street
having count(*) > 1) b
on a.Customername = b.Customername

Hope this helps

Hi,
is there any way to write a validation rule for the field in the datbase design of sql server 2005. Like ms access.
i tried to search the net but no luck. so i decided to write triggers on insert and update to validate my data.
please, advice me if this is good approach. or if there is anything else we can do in the datbase design.
(what i mean by validation rule is to for example for my numeric field i want the data to be in a specific range.)

You can make use of check constraint on your table for this. Something like:
Alter YourTableName
check (intCol > 0 and intCol < 100)
Although, you should try and filter out faulty data at the UI only. Why to hit database to know that it is a faulty data? It will make your application slow.
50-50-90 rule: Anytime I have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability I'll get it wrong...!!

Thanks,
oh yeah.. i forgot about the check 
and you are right to validate the data in the UI. which i am aleady doing it. the reason why i want to do the validation in the database design level, is to make sure that we are adding the right data and also, to prevent the other developers from playing with the database. our database is shared one and we are using it many applications.
thanks for your reply

You need to think about what you are doing, what are you going to do when you get a validation fail, raise an error. Then what are you going to do, trap the error in your DAL/BusinessObject and pass it back to the UI.
This is called PROGRAMMING BY ERROR and is the absolute worst validation model you could build.
Put you validation is either the UI or the BusinessObject. Validation does not belong in the database.

Thanks for your reply.
i agree with you. but for your information, i am not waiting to get the error from that database in order to catch it in my DAL/BusinessObject.
i am already doing my validation also in the UI. what i really want to make sure is, the data are inserted right. i dont want to keep any chance for developers to play with the application UI to update the database.
now you make me confused. because i am doing the database design. here is another question: if i consider the following in my database design:
- primary keys
- Forien Keys
- Default Values
- Check Constraint
- indexes
- Database Diagrams
is it bad database design?

Yah, I opened my (big mouth) reply before you had replied, got delayed and posted after you.
What you are doing is correct and is the reason constraints are in the database, if you were doing this as the primary validation my argument would apply. The additional elements you raise are all valid and should be used for a well designed database, what you cannot do is expect and error.
With a FK if you decided to try and write the record and trap the error for a FK violation as the primary validation it would be wrong. Having the FK to enforce data integrity is absolutely valid.

Many ways to do validation in database
(1) Constraints
(2) SP
(3) Triggers

Hi,
I have a table where the results are sorted using an "priority" column, eg:
Doc_Value priority
------------------------
aaa 0
xxx 1
bbb 3
ccc 0
aaa 2
I need the SQL results to be in a specific order based on the "priority", but not in ascending or descending order. The order
that I want them in is 1,2,3,0,0,0,0....
Highest priority start with 1 to infinite (9999) number but the lowest priority is 0...
Any suggestion guys?

Use a case statement in your order by clause
order by case when priority = 0 then 9999 else sequence end

Introduce a new table called PriorityOrder with something like:
Priority PriorityOrder
-------------------------
0 5
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
And then join your tables with this table on the Priority column and then Order by the PriorityOrder column.
This design gives you the flexibility to change the ordering any time by changing the contents of this table instead of changing code.

Wow what a nasty solution, he simply wants to move the 0 value records to the end of the sort and you want to create and support another table. So every time a new record is created he potentially needs to update the priority table.

Priorities are usually limited and may be used in more than one table. This is a generic solution which works best if Priority is stored in its own reference table (a.k.a. Master table), in which case the PriorityOrder column can appear in the same table.

Hi Shameel,
Thanks for your reply to my problem.
Like Mycroft Holmes said, I just want a simply to move the 0 value records to the end of the sort.
Regards.

Hi,
Mycroft's solution is elegant and I like the way he presents the solution.
However, there are a few more ways which will accomplish the task, though again I like Mycroft's solution
declare @t table(docvalue varchar(50),priority int)
insert into @t select 'aaa',0 union all select 'xxx', 1 union all select 'bbb', 3 union all
select 'ccc',0 union all select 'aaa',2
Query1:
select docvalue,priority from @t where priority <> 0 group by priority,docvalue
union all
select * from @t where priority = 0
Query 2:
select distinct * from @t where priority <> 0 group by priority,docvalue
union
select * from @t where priority = 0
Output:
docvalue priority
xxx 1
aaa 2
bbb 3
aaa 0
ccc 0

Hi guys..

Thanks in advance...

Read in your xml file
convert it into a datatable
clean out the duplicates
save each record to the database via a database connection and a sqlcommand

Sorry, that's maybe 4 hours work and if I did that for you then how do you expect to become anything but a "fresher"
As a general comment, learn to use the keyboard, typos I can live with, but that crap you used is just horrible.
