   So the desired result from this sample data would be an empty resultset?   
   What do you want to display when the data actually contains rows that meet   
   your requirement? All the rows for that name and date? Or a single row for   
   that name and date?   
   Why don't you try again. Show us some sample data that includes data that   
   meets your requirements and then show us what you want the desired query to   
   return. The key being "show" - don't just describe the desired result: show   
   it to us.
