**SQL Code Explanation**
========================
This SQL code is used to extract and transform data from a table called `[Util Selection 1]` into a new table called `[Util Selection 2]`. The code performs the following operations:
### 1. Selecting Columns
The code selects specific columns from the `[Util Selection 1]` table and assigns them aliases for better readability.
* `prt`: Extracts the value of the `prt` column as is.
* `Rev`, `PartNumber`, `Flag`, `FirstDim`, `SecDim`, `PartHeight`, and `PartWidth`: Extracts the first occurrence of each column's values, effectively removing any duplicate rows within the group.
### 2. Grouping Rows
The code groups the selected columns by the `prt` column, which means that all rows with the same value in the `prt` column will be combined into a single row in the resulting table.
### 3. Creating a New Table
The transformed data is inserted into a new table called `[Util Selection 2]`.
### 4. Column Aliases
All selected columns in the new table have default aliases:
* `prt`: `prt`
* `Rev`, `PartNumber`, `Flag`, `FirstDim`, `SecDim`, `PartHeight`, and `PartWidth`: Their corresponding column names with "First" appended to indicate that they contain the first occurrence of each value.
### 5. SQL Syntax Details
This code uses a combination of standard SQL syntax, including:
* `SELECT` statement to specify which columns are needed.
* `INTO` clause to create a new table.
* `GROUP BY` clause to group rows based on the selected column.
* `First()` function to extract the first occurrence of each value within each group.
### Example Use Case
This SQL code can be used in scenarios where you need to:
* Consolidate and transform data from multiple tables.
* Remove duplicate rows by grouping on specific columns.
* Extract specific values (e.g., the first value) for further analysis or reporting.
