Question

i have problem with SQL SELECT DISTINCT , and PHP/jQuery. I'm using autocomplete function, it is working, but not as expected. I have Database with some rows:

Lukoil..
Lukoil..
Statoil..
Statoil..
Statoil..
Neste..
Neste..

And I have SQL query :

SELECT DISTINCT name FROM poi_example WHERE name LIKE '%$text%' ORDER BY name ASC

But when I typing a name in search input, I don't get distinct values:

So I need your offers what to do,

Database output:

INSERT INTO `poi_example` (`id`, `name`, `description`, `lat`, `lon`, `city`, `rajonas`) VALUES

Answer 1

You could try to use an aggregate function.

SELECT name
FROM poi_example
WHERE name LIKE '%$text%'
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY name ASC

Answer 2

its obvious that the problem is on your application. No way a distinct would return duplicate values, specially because you say that the query works on your Database.

Are tou sure you are executing that exact query? Maybe if you post some code we can help you
