DISTINCT
Contents
Definition
When you’re only interested in output rows with a value (or combination thereof) that’s distinct from others, then the DISTINCT keyword may be what you’re looking for.
Single column
Say you were working on a website with duplicate values in the name column, then you can simply state that you’re interested in rows with DISTINCT name:
container <| ... |
name <| ... |
FROM url
|> GROUP BY container
|> SELECT name
|> DISTINCT name
Combination of columns
Say you are working on a website where pairs (or tuples etc) of values are what you’re specifically interested in having distinct groups of, then separate them by commas:
container <| ... |
first_name <| ... |
email <| ... |
FROM url
|> GROUP BY container
|> SELECT first_name, email
|> DISTINCT first_name, email
