Question

I realize my title probably doesnt explain my situation very well, but I honestly have no idea how to word this.

I am using SQL to access a DB2 database.

Using my screenshot image 1 below as a reference:

column 1 has three instances of “U11124”, with three different descriptions (column 2)

I would like this query to return the first instance of “U11124” and its description, but then also unique records for the other rows. image 2 shows my desired result.

—– EDIT —-

to answer some of the questions / posts:
technically, it does not need to be the first , just any single one of those records. the problem is that we have three descriptions, and only one needs to be shown, i am now told it does not matter which one.

Answer 1

SELECT STVNST, MAX(STDESC) FROM MY_TABLE GROUP BY STVNST;
