Kourosh writes "Hello,
I would like to categorize my output records based on parent fileds and bypass them for aother related rows except one,I know the BREAK command in oracle and I would like to know the equivalency in SQL Server.
Example

1 aa 1 aaa
2 bbb
3 ccc
2 bb 1 xxx
2 yyy
3 zzz

Instead of :
1 aa 1 aaa
1 aa 2 bbb
1 aa 3 ccc
2 bb 1 xxx
2 bb 2 yyy
2 bb 3 zzz

I use only query analyzer and I would like to generate a text file based on this query through a dts package.

Best Regards
Kourosh"

If you generate data as in your first example, then the data won't be importable into most systems. Since you are formattting it in a manner that looks "nice", I assume this means you are trying to write report using T-SQL and DTS, output as text files. Don't do this.

Use a report writer, MS Access, Excel or some other tool designed to produce reports.
