Sample data:
ID1 ID2 Num Type
---------------------
1 1 1 'A'
1 1 2 'A'
1 2 3 'A'
1 2 4 'A'
2 1 1 'A'
2 2 1 'B'
3 1 1 'A'
3 2 1 'A'
Desired result:
ID1 ID2
---------
1 1
1 2
3 1
3 2
Notice that I'm grouping by ID1 and ID2, but not Num, and that I'm looking specifically for groups where Type = 'A'. I know it's doable through a join two queries on the same table: one query to find all groups that have a distinct Type, and another query to filter rows with Type = 'A'. But I was wondering if this can be done in a more efficient way.
I'm using SQL Server 2008, and my current query is:
SELECT ID1, ID2
FROM (
SELECT ID1, ID2
FROM T
GROUP BY ID1, ID2
HAVING COUNT( DISTINCT Type ) = 1
) AS SingleType
INNER JOIN (
SELECT ID1, ID2
FROM T
WHERE Type = 'A'
GROUP BY ID1, ID2
) AS TypeA ON
TypeA.ID1 = SingleType.ID1 AND
TypeA.ID2 = SingleType.ID2
EDIT: Updated sample data and query to indicate that I'm grouping on two columns, not just one.
SELECT ID1, ID2
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY ID1, ID2
HAVING COUNT(Type) = SUM(CASE WHEN Type = 'A' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
