Hi,
I have to append the string "DSNAME" for all the unique records in a field. The output should look like
---------+---------+
REQ_ID
---------+---------+
DSNAME 23407
DSNAME 185131
DSNAME 473890
DSNAME 536686
I used the query "SELECT 'DSNAME', DISTINCT REQ_ID FROM EXPLORE;
But I' am getting "DISTINCT IS NOT A COLUMN OF AN INSERTED TABLE" error.
My query is working if I remove "DISTINCT" keyword, but I' am getting duplicates. I want only the unique records. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Karthik. |

You can't do distinct on one column only it is on the whole selected column set.
Try this
| Code: |
SELECT DISTINCT 'DSNAME', REQ_ID
FROM EXPLORE;
