hi,
i have a table which has three columns
comp_code,officetype,address
the record is unique only if the values of all the three columns are taken.I want to display records such that the comp_code is not repeated ie for one comp_code i want to display the record only once, no matter which record.
I want to do this through one sql.
Please help !!!

Tyy something like this. Max or Min can be used. Don't interpret any meaning the whether a rowid selected in the min or max - it does not translate the the easriest or latest record.

select * from my_table t1
where t1.rowid in (select max(t2.rowid)
from my_table t2
group by comp_code,officetype,address)
