It's really not that difficult..here is an example of getting a maximum ArticleNumber for each groupName in my articles entity...

var groups = from a in Articles

...

And here is how to just get the max from an entity

var mm = Articles.Max(w => w.ArticleNumber );

This sounds like it could be solved by the "Quirky Update" method to me - as you need to compare each row to the previous row.

See Jeff's article about it...

Bearing in mind the requirement for the Interval to vary I would avoid a table of time periods unless you have one for each valid time period.

No, the whole thing, to find duplicates in the prospects table (I used a table variable for this table as a test) and show whether the duplicates are also in...

Try something like this - without data to try it with there may be errors

;with cte as (

SELECT

Part,

Price/UnitofMeasure IndvPric,

This is a sample of how to do this

--= first set up some test data

DECLARE @prospects TABLE (

id int identity

,companyname nvarchar(50)

)

insert @prospects( companyname)

select 'test1' union all

select 'test1' union all

select...

Can you elaborate on the acceptable formats of the string?

N'ABD',N'DYX',N'ALL' is OK

Is that the only format i.e hard coded letter N followed immediately by a quote, three letters, another quote...

And one more for luck:

If you are looking to strip a local variable:

DECLARE @strVariable VARCHAR(100)

SELECT @strVariable = '| hello | world | I love sql server'

--== Only strip out...
