try using a JOIN instead, something like 

<CFQUERY NAME="getLocationQuery"
DATASOURCE="#application.lldbDatasource#">
   SELECT   ll_location.location_id, ll_location.location           
   FROM ll_lessonstage LEFT JOIN ll_lesson ON ll_lesson.lessonstage_id =
ll_lessonstage.lessonstage_id
        LEFT JOIN ll_location ON ll_location.location_id =
ll_lesson.location_id
   WHERE  ll_lessonstage.lessonstage = '#application.migratedStr#'   
   ORDER BY seq_no,
            upper(location)

that should trim the result set down a little....

Why can't you DISTINCT over both fields? will the same location ever
have different lcationIDs?

I have this query and it is returning records with the same name. I want
to
use a function like DISTINCT in my select statement, but I can't because
I
am pulling 2 field any suggestions. Basically when I put #location# it
will
come up with a city and right now it is coming up with it 20 times.



<CFQUERY NAME="getLocationQuery"
DATASOURCE="#application.lldbDatasource#">
   SELECT   ll_location.location_id, ll_location.location           
   FROM     ll_location,
                        ll_lesson,
                        ll_lessonstage
   WHERE    ll_location.location_id = ll_lesson.location_id
   AND          ll_lesson.lessonstage_id = ll_lessonstage.lessonstage_id
   AND          ll_lessonstage.lessonstage = '#application.migratedStr#'

   ORDER BY seq_no,
            upper(location)
