Hello,
I don't know if it is possible to do this with mysql alone ...
Here goes :
I've got a database list which is like to following :
Num | Name | Colour
-------------------------------------------
1 | Harry | Red
2 | Tom | Blue
3 | Jane | Green
4 | Philip | Red
5 | Sarah | Red
6 | Robert | Blue
And from this table I wish to get a list of used colours.
The correct answer would be :
Colour
---------
Red
Blue
Green
The answer I don't want :
Colour
--------
Red
Blue
Green
Red
Red
Blue
How would I achieve the first result with mysql ? Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
Richard
