SELECT DISTINCT

The SELECT keyword allows us to grab all information from a column (or columns) on a table. This, of course, necessarily means that there will be redundancies. What if we only want to select each distinct element? This is easy way to accomplish in SQL. All we need to do is that to add DISTINCT after SELECT. The syntax is as follows:

SELECT DISTINCT column_name
FROM table_name;
