Question

I have a query returning 24 records for users with code A and 54 records for users with code B

and sometimes it will return Users with code C, D….etc there can be a total of 15 different Codes.

I want my query to only display the codes once, instead of returning retpeat users.

If i do something like

Select Count(user_code) from tbl_test and group by user_code

I will only get 54 and 24

if i do something like

Select Count(user_code) as number, user_code from tbl_test and group by user_code

I will get 54 B
24 A

I only want to return
B
A

is there any way i can do that or should i just use my second query?

I may well have misunderstood big time here, but is this what you’re after?

SELECT DISTINCT user_code FROM tbl_test

which is the same as:

SELECT user_code FROM tbl_test GROUP BY user_code
