Hi
I'm facing a problem in generating the required data. Following are two queries with the result.
Select
M.MemberID,
B.BillingId
FROM
dbo.Member M, dbo.Billing B
WHERE B.MEMBERID = M.MEMBERID AND
M.MemberId = 66835
select MemberId, MemberEventId from MemberEvent Me where Me.MemberId = 66835
MemberID BillingId
----------- -----------
66835 268926
66835 268927
66835 268928
(3 row(s) affected)
MemberId MemberEventId
----------- -------------
66835 278265
66835 278266
66835 278267
66835 278272
66835 278274
66835 278273
(6 row(s) affected)
I want data form these two tables but with no repetition of MemberEventId i.e. It should return only 6 rows with three columns i.e. memberid, billingId and MemberEventId.
Please help

The problem is, which BillingID do you want to use for which MemberEventID.

I'm not sure this problem has a solution for the given data.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

I agree with Jeff.

There doesn't appear to be a relation between memberEventID and BillingId. If you want to display the results (memberId, billingID, memberEventID), and return only 6 rows, then there would have to be a correlation between billingID and memberEventID.

It may help if you explain what you are trying to achieve at a higher level, rather than focusing in on this query.
