how can u select the Distinct values in the table, table having 20 columns , i want all columns..

Answer / uma

The SELECT DISTINCT Statement
The DISTINCT keyword is used to return only distinct
(different) values.
The SELECT statement returns information from table columns.
But what if we only want to select distinct elements?
With SQL, all we need to do is to add a DISTINCT keyword to
the SELECT statement:

Syntax
SELECT DISTINCT column_name(s)
FROM table_name

Using the DISTINCT keyword To select ALL values from the
column named "Company" we use a SELECT statement like this:
SELECT Company FROM Orders
"Orders" table

Company OrderNumber
Sega 3412
W3Schools 2312
Trio 4678
W3Schools 6798
Result

Company
Sega
W3Schools
Trio
W3Schools
Note that "W3Schools" is listed twice in the result-set.
To select only DIFFERENT values from the column named
"Company" we use a SELECT DISTINCT statement like this:
SELECT DISTINCT Company FROM Orders

Result:
Company
Sega
W3Schools
Trio
Now "W3Schools" is listed only once in the result-set.
