Consider a table having emp_id and dep_id.

Code:
EMP_ID    DEP_ID   
   100       1     
   101       1     
   102       1     
   103       2     
   104       2     
   105       3     
   106       3     
   107       3     
   108       2     
   109       2     
   110       3     
   111       4     


I want only one emp_id (any one- random) from a department.

My output shud be like
Code:

  EMP_ID    DEP_ID   
    102       1       
    105       3       
    108       2       
    111       4     
[/code].

arshadh,

If you don't really care as to which emp_id you get just simply use MIN/Max column functions.

ex:

Code:

SELECT MIN(EMP_ID)   
      ,DEP_ID       
  FROM T1           
 GROUP BY DEP_ID     


or

Code:

SELECT MAX(EMP_ID)   
      ,DEP_ID       
  FROM T1           
 GROUP BY DEP_ID
