select 'marrakesh UNITY RD unit #32'


select * from @TempAddressParsingTable where ad_str1 like '%unit%'
select * from @TempAddressParsingTable where ad_str1 like '%unit%'
and ad_str1 not in (select ad_str1 from @TempAddressParsingTable where ad_str1 like '% unity %')



NULL
NULL NULL NULL apple UNITY RD NULL NULL NULL NULL
NULL NULL NULL watermelon UNITY RD unit#32 NULL NULL NULL NULL
NULL NULL NULL currency UNITY RD unit# 99 NULL NULL NULL NULL
NULL NULL NULL marrakesh UNITY RD unit #32 NULL NULL NULL



trying to write a code to display record sets where there are only "units". "apple unity rd" should not be shown.
