Mirror

is it possible to have a mirror of database in SQL SERVER 2000? thanks! so if i inserted a record in the first database, it will also be inserted on the other oneThere is nothing like a Mirror definition out in SQL Server. What we can do is to create two databases and have a Replication configured as a publisher and subscriber model. So when the publisher has a change the subscriber is notified of the changes and replicated.

Search for replication in SQL Server BOL for types of replication and the options available for the same.

Min/Maximum Grouping Query

I know this has been posted before, but I can't find the previous threads so please bear with me...

I want to grab the very 1st record of each product in a table like this

ID CLIENTID PRODID
1 a 1
2 b 1
3 c 1
4 a 2
5 b 2
6 c 2
7 a 3
8 b 3
9 c 3

so that I'd get a record set like:

ID CLIENTID PRODID
1 a 1
4 a 2
7 a 3

Thanks for the hellp guru'sSELECT t1.ID, t1.CLIENTID, t1.PRODID
FROM table t1
INNER JOIN (
SELECT MIN(ID) AS ID, PRODID
FROM table
ORDER BY PRODID) t2 ON t1.ID = t2.ID
AND t1.PRODID = t2.PRODID|||You did mean GROUP BY, not ORDER BY, right?

SELECT t1.ID, t1.CLIENTID, t1.PRODID
FROM table t1
INNER JOIN (
SELECT MIN(ID) AS ID, PRODID
FROM table
GROUP BY PRODID) t2 ON t1.ID = t2.ID
AND t1.PRODID = t2.PRODID|||Yep. Been sniped. (grin)|||Thanks guys, exactly what I was after. :)
