Surely not. Have you tried it yet? Unless there are duplicate rows in the
table (which should *not* be the case), each row that is matched by that
query should only be returned once per execution of the query.

I'm not sure what you're after. If executing the top example is getting
you unwanted rows, perhaps you could re-post with some sample data and
pointing out which rows are being shown in duplicate. (It might also be a
good idea to re-check your data first if there's any possibility that there
are duplicate rows existing in the db. 'Cuz that's the kind of thing
that's gonna mis-lead you about how SQL queries normally work.)
