Hi all,
I'm trying to select all of the values from a table where type=foo and I
would like to eliminate duplicates based on name.
EG.
SQL="select distinct(name), other, field, names from table where type = foo"
-this returns every field where type is a match.
SQL="select distinct(name) from table where type = foo"
-this works but does not retrieve additional field info.
Am I to understand that select distinct cannot be utilized in this fashion?
It works if I select the name field only, but if I want more than the name
field it returns all matches. I cannot ask that the database be restructured.
Is that just the way it is?
-Andy
