What have you tried so far. Use the Improve question link to post your sql query

select distinct Quotation.description,Quotation.Rate,
Quotation.Qty,Quotation.Total, LPOMaster.subname
from Quotation left outer join
LPOMaster on LPOMaster.enqid=Quotation.enqid
where Quotation.enqid=21

Solution 1

If you are returning similar distinct rows after selecting from two tables just use a UNION on the tables.
Duplicate rows will automatically be removed.

E.g.

select A, B from TableA
UNION
select A, B from TableB

Are you doing a Join? What is your query?

Sharon 2 3-Jun-13 5:29am

select distinct Quotation.description,Quotation.Rate,
Quotation.Qty,Quotation.Total, LPOMaster.subname
from Quotation left outer join
LPOMaster on LPOMaster.enqid=Quotation.enqid
where Quotation.enqid=21

Make sure you are joining on the right fields.
