Your help is much appreciated:

I need to find ONLY those ID's for which there are ONLY records of type A (not any other) and minimally one record of type A with state 0. In below example the result should be 1 and 3.

ID | TYPE | STATE
---------------------------
1 | A | 0
1 | A | 1
1 | A | 1
1 | A | 0
2 | A | 1
2 | B | 0
2 | A | 0
3 | A | 1
3 | A | 0
3 | A | 1
3 | A | 1
4 | A | 1
4 | A | 1
4 | A | 1
5 | A | 0
5 | A | 0
5 | A | 0
5 | J | 0
5 | A | 0

Please [code] tags for displaying that sort of thing, you have been asked before. Also you need to provide the CREATE TABLE and the INSERT statements (again, with [code] tags).

What SQL have tried so far? My first thought was a compound query: select the rows with A, then subtract the rows without A.

By the way, I wish you would not say "record" when you mean "row".

1. Create table:

CREATE TABLE TEST
   (	"ID" NUMBER(1,0), 
	"TYPE" VARCHAR2(1 BYTE), 
	"STATE" NUMBER(1,0)
   );

2. Insert data

Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (1,'A',0);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (1,'A',1);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (1,'A',1);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (1,'A',0);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (2,'A',1);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (2,'B',0);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (2,'A',0);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (3,'A',1);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (3,'A',0);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (3,'A',1);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (3,'A',1);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (4,'A',1);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (4,'A',1);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (4,'A',1);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (5,'A',0);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (5,'A',0);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (5,'A',0);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (5,'J',0);
Insert into TEST (ID,TYPE,STATE) values (5,'A',0);
commit;

I've jusdt written a solution - it returns 1, 3, and 4. Do you not want 4?

Indeed, it should not return 4 as there's no row for ID='4' with STATE='0'.

I got sidetracked hence no feedback from my side yet.

Ok, think I got it now:

select ID FROM
(
 select 
  ID, TYPE 
 from TEST
 WHERE STATE=0
 GROUP BY ID, TYPE
) temptable
GROUP BY ID
HAVING COUNT(*) = 1 and min(TYPE)='A';

Which is to say - what happens if the other types don't have state=0?

How about this?
  1  Select * from
  2  (select id from test where type='A'
  3  minus
  4  select id from test where type <>'A') withzero
  5* where exists (select 1 from test zero where zero.id=withzero.id and zero.state=0)
jw122pdb> /

        ID
----------
         1
         3

That's over-complicating it:
SQL> select id from test where type = 'A' and state = 0
  2  minus
  3  select id from test where type <> 'A';
 
ID
--
 1
 3
