| Our table stores text results of failed transactions I need to find the username, date and text string excluding certain known error results. Since group by and distinct won't work with text,ntext or image data, I'm getting a lot of duplicate rows. Can someone shed some light on how to get around this? My query follows:select date,name,text_resultfrom dbo.databasename dbnwhere dbn.text_result not like 'blahblahblah1' anddbn.text_result not like 'blahblahblah2' |

| Do you really need all that data in the text column? If not, you could just cast it to varchar(8000), this will let you group by it.OS |
