Eliminating duplicate rows from result-set using PostgreSQL

E

How Can We Help?

  • Use the DISTINCT ON keyword in your query
  • To do a case-insensitive search do the following query
    SELECT DISTINCT ON(upper(surname)) surname FROM employees ORDER BY upper(surname)
  • This will return non-duplicate surnames.
