DISINCT will act across all the columns you list, so with a primary/unique
key in the list of columns, you'll get everything back.

Try and sub select:

SELECT
        Email,
        firstname,
        surname,
        telephone,
        address,
        postcode,
        id
FROM YourTable
WHERE Email IN (
        SELECT DISTINCT Email FROM YourTable
)

Not pretty, but it should work.

Subject: [CF-Dev] Distinct records in SQL


>- see footer for list info -<
Am having brain failure at the end of today.

I have a table with

ID, name, address, postcode, email, etc

I want to write a query to select DISTINCT emails from the db plus name,
postcode and id numbers.

Have tried DISTINCT
SELECT DISTINCT top 5 Email, firstname, surname, telephone, address,
postcode, id
but give duplicates

Have tried group by but no joy.

Please could any kind soul point me in the right direction. (2 queries)

Thanks
Allan
