Question

i have sql statement like this

SELECT DISTINCT results_sp_08.material_number FROM results_sp_08         INNER JOIN courses ON results_sp_08.material_number = courses.material_number         INNER JOIN users ON results_sp_08.id = users.id         AND results_sp_08.doctor = 'xx260' 

i need alternative way to DISTINCT in to use it in MySQL version: 4.1.22 ?

is there another way or trick?

Answer 1

Like Joel, your best bet is to add the GROUP BY clause. In your case

GROUP BY results_sp_08.material_number
