Dear Gurus,

I have table with following entries

Table name = Customer

Name Weight
------------ -----------
Sanjeev 85
Sanjeev 75
Rajeev 80
Rajeev 45
Sandy 35
Sandy 30
Harry 15
Harry 45

I need a output as follow

Name Weight
------------ -----------
Sanjeev 85
Rajeev 80
Sandy 30
Harry 45

OR

Name Weight
------------ -----------
Sanjeev 75
Rajeev 45
Sandy 35
Harry 15

i.e. only distinct Name should display with only one value of Weight.
I tried with 'group by' on Name column but it shows me all rows.

Could anyone help me for above.

Thanking in Advance.

Regards
Sanjeev

Please note that because you don't care which weight you get, max()
can be replaced with min(), first(), last(), etc.

Note that SQL Server doesnt support first() or last() function

SELECT Name, MAX(Weight) AS Weight
FROM Customer
GROUP BY Name

or

SELECT Name, MIN(Weight) AS Weight
FROM Customer
GROUP BY Name
