Question : select records
Hi,
I have a table in my database which contains the lead time information from my suppliers for each item.
I have a situation where I would like to know the supplier with the lowest lead time for each item.
I have so far been able to generate a disctinct query (below), however in some cases multiple suppliers will have the same lead time and therefore my query returns multiple records.
Example
select distinct itemcode, min(deliverytimeindays) as Leadtime,crdnr,mainaccount
from itemaccounts where itemcode like 'CX%' group by itemcode,crdnr,mainaccount
Returns
itemcode Leadtime crdnr mainaccount
CX_RM1 14 1369 0
CX_RM1 14 2120 0
CX_RM1 14 5165 1
I would therefore like a single record to be returned on a logic when multiple records exist (as above), whereby if the supplier is the 'Mainaccount' then return this, otherwise the supplier with the lowest number (crdnr)
Any tips would be very helpful.
Thanks
R

I'm not sure I understand what you want. Of the three records returned from your query, which one do you want returned and why?
