Answer 1

Just add

group by code 
ORDER BY code ASC

at end of your sql query

example

select * from table
group by code 
ORDER BY code ASC

Answer 2

 SELECT Min(Id) Id, Code, MIN(Libelle) Libelle
 from table
 group by code

Answer 3

If you are looking for Zend_Db_Select usage, here it is

$db->select()->from('table', array(
    'Id' => new Zend_Db_Expr('Min(ID)'),
    'Code' => 'CODE',
    'Libelle' => new Zend_Db_Expr('Min(LIBELLE)')
))->group('CODE');

$db should be your Zend_Db_Adapter .
