hi all,
i want to get the records from the table which are not available in actual result of a table. the scenario is as follows.

My Actual Result

query which i have written:-

SQL

select (cont.FirstName+' '+ISNULL(cont.LastName,'')) as withoutduplicationName
from Contacts cont left join Cities ct on cont.Location=ct.CityId join States st
on cont.WorkState=st.StateId join Recruiters rec on cont.Recruiter=rec.RecruiterId join Team t on
rec.Team=t.TeamId where cont.IsDeleted='false' and rec.IsDeleted='false'

o/p:- it is displaying 534 (count) records.

Eliminating duplicates.

query is as follows

SQL

select distinct (cont.FirstName+' '+ISNULL(cont.LastName,'')) as withoutduplicationName
from Contacts cont left join Cities ct on cont.Location=ct.CityId join States st
on cont.WorkState=st.StateId join Recruiters rec on cont.Recruiter=rec.RecruiterId join Team t on
rec.Team=t.TeamId where cont.IsDeleted='false' and rec.IsDeleted='false'

o/P:- it is displaying 495 records.

Now i want to get the records which are not available in my actual result.

i.e 534-495=39 records?

so how to get thest 39 records as an o/p?
please help me to solve this, i have used except condition in sql but it is not giving proper o/p.

Solution 1

try this

SQL

select  
   (cont.FirstName+' '+ISNULL(cont.LastName,'')) as duplicationName,
    count(1) as NoOfRecords
from Contacts cont 
left join Cities ct on cont.Location=ct.CityId 
join States st on cont.WorkState=st.StateId 
join Recruiters rec on cont.Recruiter=rec.RecruiterId 
join Team t on rec.Team=t.TeamId 
where cont.IsDeleted='false' and rec.IsDeleted='false'
group by (cont.FirstName+' '+ISNULL(cont.LastName,''))
having count(1)>1

it is not giving proper result, it is showing 32 records instead of 39.

Its correct, But it means that there are duplicate Name records More than 2

you can check by above query again, i am modifying it.
