I'd like to essentially loop through a SQL table to display the correct results. The workflow is the user query's the database and returns records (by property ID). In the return there are duplicate records being returned - in this case, two property owners returned with the same property ID.
How would I loop through the SQL statement in the application (code) to identify when the property id's are the same and display only one owner for that property?
Thanks!
You could do looping by using cursors by usually you should be able to formulate the query in a required way and it will be more performant.
How does the query look like? If it is simple enough you might achieve the result by using DISTINCT argument of the SELECT clause. Have a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176104.aspx|||
I agree with Anton, if you formulate your query correctly you should not have to do this work on the client side. This also reduces internet traffic which could additionally speed up your end-to-end performance. If you could formulate the goal of your query as well as the structure of your tables and provide your current query, we could likely help you to write a SQL query that does the trick without this overhead.
Thanks,
