Hi,

I have the following query :

Select t1.student,
                          t1.college,
                          t2.programme,
                          t3.faculty,
                          t4.forename,
                          t4.surname,
                          t5.number_of_processes,
                          t5.faculty,
                          t5.site_code,
                          t6.context,
                          t6.server_name,
                          t5.username,
                          t6.base_context,
                          t7.server_directory,
                          t2.programme_version
                   from
                         students@live t1,
                         student_modules@live t2,
                         programmes@live t3,
                         people@live t4,
                         cas_usernames t5,
                         cas_faculty_site_servers t6,
                         cas_servers t7
                  where
                         t1.student = t5.student and
                         t2.student = t1.student and
                         t2.record_type = 'PRG' and
                         t2.student_module_status = 'R' and
                         t3.programme = t2.programme and
                         t3.programme_version = t2.programme_version and
                         t4.person_no = t1.person_no and
                         t6.faculty = t5.faculty and
                         t6.site_code = t5.site_code and
                         t6.server_name = t7.server_name

i want it to return just one record for every distinct student it picks up 
regardless of what the rest of the fields contain, i have tried putting 
distinct around the t1.student column but this has no effect, then i tried 
to group by t1.student but it complained about the other columns.

Surely there must be someway to achieve what i want, but i cant find out 
how... can anybody help?

Thanks

Edd
