No, It will not work. SELECT DISTINCT works only for single
cloumn.
DISTINCT can be applied multiple times only when you want
to apply aggregate functions such as COUNT, AVG & SUM.
e.g.
SELECT COUNT(EMPNO)/COUNT(DISTINCT(WORKDEPT)), COUNT
(DISTINCT(JOB))
FROM DSN8810.EMP

Answer / chidambara subbu
No, It will not work. We can select DISTINCT values for
multiple columns however not all the columns will give
ditint value. For intance , see below table TABLE1
Name City
XXX Chennai
FFF HYD
XXX Blore
YYY Mumbai
1.SELECT DISTINCT NAME FROM TABLE1
Name
XXX
FFF
YYY
2. SELECT DISTINCT NAME,City FROM TABLE1
Name City
XXX Chennai
FFF HYD
XXX Blore
YYY Mumbai
See the result of second query. It has selected duplicate
entry 'XXX' in the Name column.

Hi All, In a Cobol-DB2 program, I am fetching rows from 4 tables using cursor and then based on the a field present in that table, It processes the information accordingly..for example stat-c is one digit field..if stat-c is 'D' then the a row is deleted from table and written those details in to a file. If the stat-c is 'U' then a row is updated (hardcoded what to update)in a table and written those details in to a file. If the stat-c is 'I' then a row is inserted in a table and written those details in to two files. The issue is i have to include the intermediate commits. When an abend occurs, due to commit statement db2 tables will be saved, But there will be lose of file contents. When we resubmitting the job associated with this program there will be insert ,update and delete anomolies to avoid that what measures could be taken?. The intermediate commit is nothing but issuing commit after massive inserts, updates and deletes(sum of 500actions)
