Try this (in 8i or above):
select * from ( select testid, name, status, rank() over( partition by testid order by rownum ) dup_rank from testing ) where dup_rank = 1

Hi, Could someone shed some light on this.
I'm trying to formulate a query to return distinct value on a column - testid.
select * from testing; TESTID NAME STATUS ---------- -------------------- ----------- 1 MIKE Y 1 JOE Y 1 JIM Y 2 AMY Y
The output I'm expecting is TESTID NAME STATUS ---------- -------------------- ----------- 1 MIKE Y 2 AMY Y
The query should display the first occurence of the testid and ignore records with the same testid.
thanks!
