SELECT DISTINCT HAVING Count unique conditions

Question

I\'ve searched for an answer on this but can\'t find quite how to get this distinct recordset based on a condition. I have a table with the following sample data:

Answer 1

Use a COUNT(DISTINCT Location) and join against a subquery on Type and Color The GROUP BY and HAVING clauses as you have attempted to use them will do the job.

/* Be sure to use DISTINCT in the outer query to de-dup */
SELECT DISTINCT
   MyTable.Type,
   MyTable.Color,
   Location
FROM 
  MyTable
  INNER JOIN (
    /* Joined subquery returns type,color pairs having COUNT(DISTINCT Location) > 1 */
    SELECT
      Type,
      Color,
      /* Don't actually need to select this value - it could just be in the HAVING */
      COUNT(DISTINCT Location) AS UniqueLocations
    FROM
      MyTable
    GROUP BY Type, Color
    /* Note: Some RDBMS won't allow the alias here and you 
       would have to use the expanded form
       HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT Location) > 1
     */
    HAVING UniqueLocations > 1
  /* JOIN back against the main table on Type, Color */
  ) subq ON MyTable.Type = subq.Type AND MyTable.Color = subq.Color

Here is a demonstration
