Hi,
I have the following query :
Select t1.student,
t1.college,
t2.programme,
t3.faculty,
t4.forename,
t4.surname,
t5.number_of_processes,
t5.faculty,
t5.site_code,
t6.context,
t6.server_name,
t5.username,
t6.base_context,
t7.server_directory,
t2.programme_version
from
students@live t1,
student_modules@live t2,
programmes@live t3,
people@live t4,
cas_usernames t5,
cas_faculty_site_servers t6,
cas_servers t7
where
t1.student = t5.student and
t2.student = t1.student and
t2.record_type = 'PRG' and
t2.student_module_status = 'R' and
t3.programme = t2.programme and
t3.programme_version = t2.programme_version and
t4.person_no = t1.person_no and
t6.faculty = t5.faculty and
t6.site_code = t5.site_code and
t6.server_name = t7.server_name
i want it to return just one record for every distinct student it picks up
regardless of what the rest of the fields contain, i have tried putting
distinct around the t1.student column but this has no effect, then i tried
to group by t1.student but it complained about the other columns.
Surely there must be someway to achieve what i want, but i cant find out
how... can anybody help?
Thanks
Edd
