Hello everyone.

Hope someone can help. I have a table with two columns Material
Number and Material Description. Sample data below:

Material# Description
10000 This is item 10000
10000

I see that you started to try to ask a question in the Subject, but it
is not at all clear (to me at least) what you are asking for. Perhaps
you can be a bit more specific.

It is not clear what you need, but maybe this:

SELECT material_nbr, MAX(description) AS material_description
FROM Materials
GROUP BY material_nbr;

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys,
constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in
your schema are. If you know how, follow ISO-11179 data element naming
conventions and formatting rules. Sample data is also a good idea,
along with clear specifications. It is very hard to debug code when
you do not let us see it.

What you did post used #, which will screw up your data dictionary
when you try to put that data element name on the Internet,
"description" of what? etc.

Then you never finished asking a question in the posting. This is too
vague to be considered seriously.

If you want to learn how to ask a question on a Newsgroup, look at:

Looks like you pressed the Send button too quickly?
