123   11/6/2015 3:17:22 PM    abc
123   11/6/2015 3:24:44 PM    abc
456   11/6/2015 3:26:34 PM    def
456   11/6/2015 3:30:34 PM    def

What I need to receive is

CSS

id             visit_ date             Name
677930136v     11/6/2015 3:24:44 PM    abc
906080275v     11/6/2015 3:30:34 PM    def

I have used DISTINCT id , visit date, name but it gives all the results.How can I select distinct values of id and name and the relevant visit date?

Try GROUP BY:

SQL

SELECT
    id,
    visit_date,
    Max(Name) As Name
FROM
    YourTable
GROUP BY
    id,
    visit_date
;
