I have sql query in which i want return rows with distinct value order by particular column. like say,i want disntict batchno from ordertable order by locationid.
i have tried google also but not able to find out solution
ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified.
that what i got every time i tried.
when not using distinct i got output but with duplicate rows using this query
Select Batchno,LocationId from Ordertbl order by case when[LocationId] =3 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END, [LocationId]
if i use distinct it gives me error these are query i tried out.
Select distinct CAST(Batchno as Varchar(MAX)),LocationId from Ordertbl order by case when[LocationId] =3 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END,[LocationId]
or
Select distinct CAST(Batchno as Varchar(MAX)),LocationId from Ordertbl order by case when[LocationId] =3 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END,[LocationId],[Batchno]
so this is things i tried but no luck.please help me.
