RE: Need help with SQL group by

Do you care what value of plbbg1 is selected for the duplicate employee
record?
If not, then use any of the aggregate functions to 'pick' one, i.e.:

SELECT eeun, eedpt, plbemp, eenam, max(plbbg1) as plbbg1, plbhrs , plbptp
FROM PRLBH, EEMP WHERE PLBEMP = EEENO and
PLBPTP in('CO','OH', '6D','7D','OG') and
EETDT = 0 and EEDPT = '081' and PLBWDT = 20090115
GROUP BY PLBEMP,EENAM,PLBBG1, PLBHRS , PLBPTP,EEUN, EEDPT
Order by PLBEMP

Subject: Need help with SQL group by

I have a sql statement that I cannot get to work the way I want.
The statement as it currently exists is.
SELECT eeun, eedpt, plbemp, eenam, plbbg1, plbhrs , plbptp
FROM PRLBH, EEMP WHERE PLBEMP = EEENO and
PLBPTP in('CO','OH', '6D','7D','OG') and
EETDT = 0 and EEDPT = '081' and PLBWDT = 20090115
GROUP BY PLBEMP,EENAM,PLBBG1, PLBHRS , PLBPTP,EEUN, EEDPT
Order by PLBEMP

My results look like this

Eeun eedpt plbemp eenam plbbg1 plbhrs plbptp
Y 081 890 Smith, Mike 081 4.00 OH
Y 081 890 Smith, Mike 081 1.00 OH
Y 081 1160 Mead,Kurt 081 3.50 OH
Y 081 1160 Mead,Kurt 081 1.50 OH

I am trying to get 1 record per employee, but I cannot find the correct
solution.
What am I missing here?
