Introduction to MySQL DISTINCT clause

SELECT DISTINCT
    select_list
FROM
    table_name;

MySQL DISTINCT examples

SELECT 
    membersirname
FROM
    members
ORDER BY 
    membersirname;

This location ment uses the DISTINCT clause to select unique last names from the members table: SQL Unique Count

SELECT 
    DISTINCT membersirname
FROM
    members
ORDER BY 
    membersirname;

MySQL DISTINCT and NULL values

SELECT DISTINCT location
FROM members;

MySQL DISTINCT with multiple columns

SELECT DISTINCT
    location, area
FROM
    members
WHERE
    location IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY 
    location, 
    area;

Without the DISTINCT clause, you will get the duplicate combination of location and area as follows:

SELECT 
    location, area
FROM
    members
WHERE
    location IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY 
    location , 
    area;

DISTINCT clause vs. GROUP BY clause

SELECT 
    location
FROM
    members
GROUP BY location; 

You can achieve a similar result by using the DISTINCT clause:

SELECT DISTINCT
    location
FROM
    members;

SELECT DISTINCT
    location
FROM
    members
ORDER BY 
    location;

DISTINCT and aggregate functions

SELECT 
    COUNT(DISTINCT location)
FROM
    members
WHERE
    place = 'INDIA';

DISTINCT with LIMIT clause

SELECT DISTINCT
    location
FROM
    members
WHERE
    location IS NOT NULL
LIMIT 5;
