MySQL select 1 of multiple rows with same field based on where clause

Question

I need to be able to select my entire table but where there are duplicate id's, only select 1 of them based on the data in a different field.

For example if my table looks like this

I want to select all rows, but if there are 2 of the same id, select only the row with Billing as the address type.

Answer 1

You can do it this way:

select * from Table1 
where (AddressType='Billing') or
(AddressType='Shipping' and ID not in (select ID from Table1 where AddressType='Billing'))
order by ID

Explanation:

1st condition is to filter only Billing address types.

2nd condition is to filter Shipping address types which do not have Billing with the same ID.

SELECT *, ADDRESS
FROM (SELECT MIN(ID), ADDRESSTYPE
