It repeats itself!
I wrote the following page to make a many-to-many relationship for a site search I need but when I test it it returns the product names several time.something like this: Product1Product1Product2Product2Product2Product1Product1Product3Product3Product3Product4Product4Product4Product4Product5Product5Product5Product5Product5Product5Product5Product5Product6Product6Product6 the comolete code is below. How can I filter the data that it return only one copy of any product not two!

I know it won't be so great like grouping in CFQUERY but someone told me that I can show data once by using Distinct in SQL. Does it work here too or it is for other situation. THANKS IN ADVANCED AGAIN. the tutorial is great.

THANKS IN ADVANCED AGAIN. the tutorial is great. Benign DISTINCT does what it sounds like it does. it will return unique records. But even if the productIDs in a set of records are the same... what if the companyIDs are different? every column in the record has to be unique for a DISTINCT query to filter it. If you're grouping the output, then presumably the data 'under' the column on which you're grouping will be different, and therefore not filtered out by adding in a DISTINCT. -- Evelyn the dog, having undergone further modification pondered the significance of short-person behaviour in pedal depressed, pan-chromatic resonance, and other highly ambient domains.

No, DISTINCT only filters out duplicates from your SELECT. If you select company name and product name, for example, if one company has five products you'll see that company five times, because the combination of values in each record is unique.
