RE: Another SQL Statement Help Request

I thought I had tried that, but I guess I didn't. I knew it was something simple.

Thanks Charles.

GROUP BY is basically only applicable if you are using aggregate
functions such as SUM(), COUNT(), MIN(), MAX().

I believe all you need is ORDER BY FLD3, FLD1, FLD2.

Hi All,

I have another statement help request for you SQL gurus out there.

I have this data:

FLD1 FLD2    FLD3        FLD4 - FLD14
GWLL 90111   12011031051 (XXX - XXX)
RYND 8725    12011031911 (XXX - XXX)
HKUT 47663   12011031581 (XXX - XXX)
GWLL 90111   12011031611 (XXX - XXX)
HKUT 47663   12011031251 (XXX - XXX)

I need to sort the data with field 3 first, then group field 1/field 2 together.  So the data should look like this when sorted and ordered:

GWLL 90111   12011031051 (XXX - XXX)
GWLL 90111   12011031611 (XXX - XXX)

HKUT 47663   12011031251 (XXX - XXX)
HKUT 47663   12011031581 (XXX - XXX)

RYND 8725    12011031911 (XXX - XXX)

I have tried a group and order clause, but I can't seem to quite get the data to display properly.  The other problem is that there are another 10 or so fields I need to fetch as well, but I don't want to add them to the GROUP BY clause.

It's probably something pretty obvious, but I'm just not getting it this morning...

Any ideas?

Thanks.
