Question

I think it’s easier to understand what I want by an example:

records :

NAME DATA

AAAAA share it
AAAAA Astronomy
AAAAA Math
BBBBB share it
CCCCC share it
CCCCC Soccer

I want to select the first two records (with ALL data).
(If the record has NAME repeated, get it and don’t count as an record)
I want to get this:

AAAAA share it
AAAAA Astronomy
AAAAA Math
BBBBB share it

I don’t know if it’s easy to understand.

Answer 1

SELECT  a.*
FROM    tableName a 
        INNER JOIN
        (
          SELECT DISTINCT Name
          FROM tableName
          ORDER BY Name 
          LIMIT 2
        ) b ON a.Name = b.Name
