Danny, not sure
 If you are asking for the SQL to pull distinct values from a character field 
(i.e. people can put in whatever value they want)
Or if you are looking for values in a Selection field (i.e. in the admin tool, 
open the field up, look on the database tab, and the Data Type: says "Selection"
If you are looking for those values you can run the following query to get them:

Select ev.enumid, ev.value
from field_enum_values ev
Inner join Field f
ON ev.fieldid = f.fieldid
Inner Join arschema s
ON s.schemaid = f.schemaid
Where s.name = 'FORM_NAME'
AND f.fieldname = 'DATABASE_FIELD_NAME'

That should give you a list of values from an enumerated/selection field.

Hi All,

Many thanks
