How to get distinct record from mysql table?

Question

I have a table student like this

id | name | zip 
1  | abc  | 1234
2  | xyz  | 4321
3  | asd  | 1234

I want to get all records but zip code should not be repeated. So In case of above table records, record No 1 and 2 should be fetched. Record No. 3 will not be fetched because it has a zip code which is already in record No. 1

Answer 1

SELECT DISTINCT fieldName FROM tableName;

The following query will only select distinct 'zip' field.

SELECT DISTINCT zip FROM student;

---

SELECT * FROM tableName GROUP BY fieldName;

The following query will select all fields along with distinct zip field.

SELECT * FROM student GROUP BY zip;

Answer 2

TRY

 SELECT DISTINCT(zip),id,name FROM student;

OR

  SELECT * FROM student GROUP BY zip;
