I have multiple rows for same ID. How to display any one row per unique ID?
I tried
select Col_1, Col_2, Col_3 from Table group by Col_1.
But this throws error saying, Col_2 and Col_3 is not in group by clause ( I wonder if syntax is wrong )
this is the given table
Col_1 Col_2 Col_3 1 A B 1 B A 2 C D 2 D C
Expected Output
Col_1 Col_2 Col_3 1 A B 2 C D

You are very close… when using group by , columns that are not part of the grouping statement must be part of an aggregate function. As such you can do something like:
select Col_1, Max(Col_2), Max(Col_3) from Table group by Col_1
I used the max Aggregation function here, but you can use any function you want. The above should get you what you are looking for and should run on most DBs
