DISTINCT Query

I need to get a list of DISTINCT elements from a table. Looking through the Cake manual/wiki, I can't find any explicit way of doing it in the methods, so I'm making a query script to do it. The problem is that it returns nothing, has anyone got a better way of doing it? Or a fix for my query?
