Try: SELECT DISTINCT Colour FROM table;
Or, if you want to do it correctly: SELECT Colour FROM table GROUP BY color; Richard wrote:
Hello, I don't know if it is possible to do this with mysql alone ... Here goes : I've got a database list which is like to following : Num | Name | Colour ------------------------------------------- 1 | Harry | Red 2 | Tom | Blue 3 | Jane | Green 4 | Philip | Red 5 | Sarah | Red 6 | Robert | Blue And from this table I wish to get a list of used colours. The correct answer would be : Colour --------- Red Blue Green The answer I don't want : Colour -------- Red Blue Green Red Red Blue How would I achieve the first result with mysql ? Is it possible? Thanks in advance, Richard
