Selecting Unique Records with SQL: A Conditional Filtering Approach
Understanding the Problem and Requirements As a developer, you’re working on an Android app that utilizes the Room persistence library. You have a table in this database with two columns: S_ID and STATUS. The task is to select unique records based on the S_ID column by conditionally removing the other record having the same S_ID value but with a different STATUS (in this case, ‘Rejected’).
To achieve this, you’re looking for an SQL query solution that can filter out duplicate records while maintaining the desired conditions.
