SQLite Distinct function syntax

Function:SQLite's DISTINCT keyword is used with the SELECT statement to eliminate all duplicate records and only obtain the unique record.

There may be a situation where there are multiple duplicate records in a table. The DISTINCT keyword is particularly meaningful when fetching such records, as it only fetches a unique record instead of duplicate records.

Syntax: The basic syntax of the DISTINCT keyword to eliminate duplicate records is as follows:

SELECT DISTINCT column1, column2,...columnN
FROM table_name
WHERE [condition]

SQLite Distinct function example

COMPANY 表有以下记录：

ID          NAME        AGE         ADDRESS     SALARY
----------  ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------
1           Paul        32          California  20000.0
2           Allen       25          Texas       15000.0
3           Teddy       23          Norway      20000.0
4           Mark        25          Rich-Mond   65000.0
5           David       27          Texas       85000.0
6           Kim         22          South-Hall  45000.0
7           James       24          Houston     10000.0
8           Paul        24          Houston     20000.0
9           James       44          Norway      5000.0
10          James       45          Texas       5000.0
首先，让我们来看看下面的 SELECT 查询，它将返回重复的工资记录：

sqlite> SELECT name FROM COMPANY;
这将产生以下结果：

NAME
----------
Paul
Allen
Teddy
Mark
David
Kim
James
Paul
James
James
现在，让我们在上述的 SELECT 查询中使用 DISTINCT 关键字：

sqlite> SELECT DISTINCT name FROM COMPANY;
这将产生以下结果，没有任何重复的条目：

NAME
----------
Paul
Allen
Teddy
Mark
David
Kim
James
