It sometimes would be very useful if you could do a SELECT DISTINCT, but
ignoring the data in one (or maybe more) particular column.
So for example

col1 col2 col3
-----------------
A    B    C
A    D    C

Then doing SELECT DISTINCT (IGNORE col2) * from table
would produce:

A    B    C

It wouldn't matter for me if it produced the above or
A    D    C

But there could be rules/logic to that.

Is this possible in SQLite or would it be possible to add this as a new
option?



Why can't you simply do this?

select distinct col1, col3 from table;

If you don't care about the value returned for col2, why bother returning anything?
