## What it does
**SQL Query Description**
==========================

This SQL query retrieves specific data from two tables: `Scott'sQ1` and `Process`. The query uses various aggregation functions, joining the two tables based on a common column, and applies conditions to filter the results.

### Table Join and Data Retrieval

The query joins the `Scott'sQ1` table with the `Process` table on the condition that the `PartNumber` column in both tables is equal. The joined table contains data from both sources, allowing for aggregation and filtering operations.

The query selects various columns:

*   `Left$([PartNumber],7)`: Truncates the `PartNumber` to 7 characters from the left.
*   `First(Right$(Trim$([PartNumber]),1))`: Removes the first character from the right side of the trimmed `PartNumber`.
*   `First([Scott'sQ1].PartNumber)`, `First([Scott'sQ1].Prime)`: Retrieves the unique value for each column.
*   `Left$([PartNumber],1)`: Truncates the `PartNumber` to 1 character from the left.
*   `[Scott'sQ1].MachineName`, `[Scott'sQ1].Expr1`, `Process.PartsPerBlank`: Retrivees data from these columns directly.

### Grouping and Filtering

The query groups the results by:

*   Truncated `PartNumber` (`Left$([PartNumber],7)`).
*   `MachineName`.
*   `Expr1`.
*   `PartsPerBlank`.

A filter condition is applied to the grouped data using the `HAVING` clause. The filter checks if the first character of the truncated `PartNumber` is equal to "9". Only rows that satisfy this condition are included in the final results.

### Sorting

The query sorts the filtered results by:

*   Truncated `PartNumber` (`Left$([PartNumber],7)`).
*   First character removed from trimmed `PartNumber` (`First(Right$(Trim$([PartNumber]),1))`).

**Example Output**
-----------------

| parts | Expr2      | FirstOfPartNumber | FirstOfPrime  | Expr3    | MachineName | Expr1     | PartsPerBlank |
| ----- | ---------- | ----------------- | -------------- | -------- |------------- | --------- | ------------ |
| ...   | ...        | ...                | ...            | ...      | ...         | ...       | ...          |

**Notes**

*   The `SELECT DISTINCTROW` clause is used to ensure that each row in the result set is unique.
*   The `First(Right$(Trim$([PartNumber]),1))` expression uses the `RIGHT` function to remove the first character from the right side of the trimmed string, and the `FIRST` aggregation function to retrieve the resulting value.
*   The use of `$` in column names suggests that these are SQL Server-specific identifiers.
