Buddy,
Bill’s suggestion of using the column number worked but if you could give me an example of what you are using that works that would be great too. Thanks, Paul From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Buddy Walker Sent: August 03, 2017 1:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [RBASE-L] - Problem with a Select Distinct Statement You can alias the table when you sattach especially if you’re not updating the table. When updating or adding records I had to have the ‘dbo’ so all I did was put IDQUOTES around the table name.

Buckley Sent: Thursday, August 3, 2017 10:41 AM To: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] Subject: [RBASE-L] - Problem with a Select Distinct Statement Good morning, I'm running the latest build of R:BASE X Enterprise. I have a connection to a SQL database & about 6 or 8 SQL tables attached. I'm trying to create a SQL Select Distinct statement and can't get the syntax correct. Here's what I've tried: SELECT DISTINCT dbo.sales_rep.id AS rep_id, sales_rep.NAME-ALIAS from dbo.SALES_REP Error is: SELECT DISTINCT sales_rep.id AS rep_id from dbo.SALES_REP Error is: But this works without error: SELECT * from dbo.SALES_REP Any blues clues?
