DISTINCT is the way to do this. In what way was it "no use"?

Solution 2

DISTINCT, as mentioned by InsertCleverUserName[^] is what you want, unless you have a unique identifier.

SELECT DISTINCT OwnerName FROM Owner

Solution 1

Try:

SQL

SELECT DISTINCT OwnerName FROM Qwner

Works fine for me when I test it with your data...
