Hi, I want to show the results of a query but I dont want to repeat the results with the same name. In sql you can use something like GROUP BY, but it is not working in my script. Any idea?

Thanks and sorry for my english.

Louri

Louri,

Check your syntax. It's a good idea to test your SQL statement outside of Opus if you are new to DB and SQL. If it works directly, I find it easy then to copy the proven sql statement into OpusScript (between quotemarks).

When you start working with Opus variables inside the SQL statement, it is simply a matter of using the '+' operator for concatenation of the strings and the variables. There are several examples if you do a search on the forum.

Your question seems to be specifically on SQL and its capabilities?

For some tutorials on sql, try these:
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Oracle/CatalogOracle.htm
http://www.1keydata.com/sql/sql.html

The 'group by' option in SQL is usually applicable if you are working with numeric values which are summarized in some way, or you want to output some specific formatting for a report. You don't give much info on the specifics. Hope that helps.
