DISTINCT Value

if I have 5 columns that I want to check for distinct values in all of them
(not just one columns distinct values - I want to eliminate duplicates from
the entire returned result set) will
Select DISTINCT col1,col2,col3,col4,col5 from mytable order by myfieldname
do the trick?
Do you have people in your band or group that only play by ear?
When transposing songs do those that play by ear struggle and
does it leave vocals and band members without a recording in the
correct key to practice with?
Visit http://www.jerichoband.net/jericho/keychange.htm
where you can have the song's key changed to what you need
without negatively affecting the tempo or instruments in the recording...Select DISTINCT col1,col2,col3,col4,col5 from mytable order by
myfieldname
only elimantes the combination of these columns in the resultsset, is
it that what you want to achieve ?
HTH, jens Suessmeyer.|||Just to state this right:
it only elimantes the duplicate combinations.
-Jens.|||That is exactly what DISTINCT does.
