I have a complex case that I need help with that will probably end up in a stored procedure of some sort.

Here's an example: From your query entity, you retrieve 100 rows of data, many of them all containing the same information, except for 1 column, for the following 4 columns:Application #, Part Time Students, Full Time Students, School Number

Your data looks like this initially:
(The count matches for each set = 7)

Application #: {115111,115112,115113,115114,115116,115117,115118}
Part Time Students: {1000,2000,1000,2000,1000,1000,2000}
Full Time Students: {500, 500,1000,500,1000,1000,1000}
School #: {1,2,1,2,1,2,1}

From here, you want to retrieve only distinct values from each set (this may even include nulls at any given point).
So you want to truncate your data to this since there are many duplicates:

Application #: {115111,115112,115113,115114,115116,115117,115118}
Part Time Students: {1000,2000}
Full T...

  • ...ime Students: {500,1000}
    School #: {1,2}

    At this point, you want to match up the application # to their correct values from the other columns to display accurate data in a SAIL interface.

    The final case, that I have implemented currently on the SAIL interface side, is if the 1st index of values (from the 1st 3 columns) are the same as any other index from the data retrieved, then show only that index, otherwise, show all data (which is where matching the correct values comes into play)

    Any tips/helps/guidance on developing this would be greatly appreciated.
  • I believe this may work for me. I've been doing some playing around with the aggregate functions to see if any of the results would be something that could show the critical information more efficiently. Thanks Eliot!
