I have problem to use distinct with Function
Mike,
Add a GROUP BY command:
select distinct (rpad(employee_id,6,' ')) ||';'|| ssn
from EMP
group by (rpad(employee_id,6,' ')) ||';'|| ssn
Hope this helps.

Mike,
Try one of these:
select distinct (rpad(employee_id,6,' ')) ||';'|| ssn
from EMP
order by (rpad(employee_id,6,' ')) ||';'|| ssn;
or
select distinct employee_id, (rpad(employee_id,6,' ')) ||';'|| ssn
from EMP
order by employee_id

I have problem to use distinct with Function on
select statement. Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks.
SQL select distinct (rpad(employee_id,6,' '))
||';'||
ssn from EMP
2 order by employee_id;
select distinct (rpad(employee_id,6,' ')) ||';'||
ssn
from EMP
GROUP BY does not necessarily guarantee a sort.
eg. you still need an ORDER BY
