Hi there, My name's Paul, I've just joined the list and I'm gonna be rude and
jump straight in with a question!
I'm trying to extract the distinct emails from a table with about 30 fields in
it. The following:
select distinct(email) from table;
is fine. But when I want the associated fields as well e.g. id,name etc
select distinct(email),id,name from table;
I get too many records as it seems to be doing a distinct on the id as well.
I have solved the problem using 2 nested statements in PHP but I was wondering
if there
was a more elegant way of doing it in one select statement.
