The SELECT DISTINCT
statement is used to return only distinct (different) values.
Inside a table, a column often contains many duplicate values and sometimes you only want to list the different (distinct) values.
Select only the DISTINCT values from the country
column in the customers
table:
SELECT DISTINCT country FROM customers;
Run Example »
Even though the customers table has 91 records, it only has 21 different countries, and that is what you get as a result when executing the SELECT DISTINCT
statement above
We can also use the DISTINCT
keyword in combination with the COUNT
statement, which in the example below will return the number of different countries there are in the customers
table.
Return the number of different countries there are in the customers
table:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT country) FROM customers;
