I have a products table with odd products..

Each product name exists in the table three times - they are actually
seperate products seperated by the product ID and some other attributes.

I'm trying to query the DISTINCT product names to output so the site admin
can assign Featured status to certain products.

product1: (checked)
product2: (checked)
product3: (checked)
product8: ()
product9: ()
etc

Selecting distinct names is no problem without the Featured column.  Once
something is flagged, another instance of the same item is selected -
because the row is no longer distinct.

product1: (checked)
product2: (checked)
product3: (checked)
product8: ()
product9: ()
product1: () <---
product2: () <---
etc

Any ideas?  I really don't want to normalize the table any further - the
products don't necessarily have to have the same names - they just usually
do - and can be changed at any time.

TIA!
