Hello all, I'm having real problems trying to work this one out. Basically I have a big table full of names, addresses and other such information. What I want to do is select all the records from the table but where there are duplicate entries (based on say, the surname and postcode fields) pick a random record and then ignore the rest. Lets say i have 2000 records in the table but 5 of them are dupes based on the surname and postcode, how can I pick one of those 5 at random and return it with the rest of the table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
