UNIQUE ?

[Brian]

Hi all

I hope I can explain what I am trying to do here....
I am trying to create a statement where it will return the UNIQUE values
from a table, I think its the UNIQUE statment.
So a table may have 60 entries, 20 of them are X, 20 Y and 20 Z
I want it to return only X,Y,Z e.g. 3 returned entries.

How do I do this?

How do I do this?

select distinct value
from tablename;

Note this one too

select count(distinct value)
from tablename;
