Answer 1

It's a bit hard to know exactly what you're trying to get, but this is my best guess:

SELECT * FROM theTable WHERE col2 NOT IN
  (SELECT col2 FROM theTable WHERE col3 <> 1)

Answer 2

SELECT col2
FROM your_table
GROUP BY col2
HAVING MAX(col3) = 1 AND MIN(Col3) = 1

Or

SELECT a.col2 
FROM your_table a
WHERE a.col3=1 AND NOT EXISTS(SELECT *
                              FROM your_table b 
                              WHERE a.col2=b.col2 AND b.col3<>1)

Answer 3

;with T ([Col 1], [Col 2], [Col 3]) as
(
select 1,       'A',     1 union all
select 2,       'A',     2 union all
select 3,       'B',     1 union all
select 4,       'C',     1 union all
select 5,       'C',     2 union all
select 6,       'D',     1
)


select *
from T
  left outer join 
    (
      select distinct [Col 2] 
      from T
      where [Col 3] <> 1
    ) as T2
  on T.[Col 2] = T2.[Col 2]
where T.[Col 3] = 1 and
      T2.[Col 2] is null

Answer 4

What you are probably looking for is WHERE clause.

SELECT * FROM YouTable WHERE col3 = 1 AND col2 in ('B','D');

Answer 5

SELECT * FROM #temp t1
WHERE EXISTS 
(
select Col2 from #Temp t2 
WHERE t2.Col2 = t1.Col2
group by col2 
having count(col3) = 1
)

tested with MS SQL2008 and the following (so if my answer is not the correct one it may halp others test theirs...):

CREATE TABLE #temp 
( 
    Col1 INT, 
    Col2 CHAR(1),
    Col3 INT
)

INSERT INTO #Temp    
    (Col1, Col2, Col3)
SELECT    1,'A',1
UNION
SELECT    2,'A',2
UNION
SELECT  3,'B', 1
UNION 
SELECT 4,'C',1
UNION 
SELECT 5,'C',2
UNION 
SELECT 6,'D',1

SELECT * FROM #temp t1
WHERE EXISTS 
(
select Col2 from #temp t2 
WHERE t2.Col2 = t1.Col2
group by col2 
having count(col3) = 1
)

DROP TABLE #temp
