I want to find all rows representing records that have at least one exact match on a varchar(100) column
I am current doing
SELECT
name
,symbol
,from_date
,thru_date
FROM [iSource100].[dbo].[Symbology]
where exists ( select Name, COUNT(symbol) as cntsym from Symbology
where thru_date > GETDATE()
group by Name having COUNT(symbol) > 1 )
and thru_date > GETDATE()
order by namebut from the results I'm getting it appears a 'match' for grouping seems to be based on just the first three characters of the Name column.
How can I tell it to group by the entire contents of Name being an exact match?
TIA

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
