Below is the data in CUST_REF
table
CUST ID REF ID
1 7
2 2
3 5
4 5
5 5
Below query will return 3 5
and 4 5
SELECT CUST_ID, REF_ID
FROM CUST_REF
WHERE REF_ID IN
(select ref_id from CUST_REF
group by ref_id
having (count(*) > 1))
AND CUST_ID != REF_ID;
How about if want to return 1 7
2 2
5 5
? I make below query it only able to return 1 7
and 2 2
SELECT CUST_ID, REF_ID
FROM CUST_REF
WHERE CUST_ID = REF_ID
AND REF_ID NOT IN
(select ref_id from CUST_REF
group by ref_id
having (count(*) > 1))
UNION
SELECT CUST_ID, REF_ID
FROM CUST_REF
WHERE CUST_ID != REF_ID
AND REF_ID NOT IN
(select ref_id from CUST_REF
group by ref_id
having (count(*) > 1));
It seems that you want to select rows whose REF_ID isn't duplicated, as well as rows whose REF_ID = CUST_ID. If that's so, how about this?
