Hello team,

we have table & its having 10 diff columns.

1) we need to fetch distinct records from 1 column

suppose earlier we have 500 records after
distinct we have 150 records only -->> we can used simply distinct function with column name

will get the 150 unique data/records BUT.... based on output means 150 records

2) how we can retrieve all other filed information like how we can achieve through SQL.

If I understand you correctly, you want to get distinct values of one column with the LATEST data for the other columns from those records

So, if you have a table like

CREATE TABLE mytable (id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY, val VARCHAR, datetime TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE);

and you want to get all the data for each distinct value of 'val', you could do

SELECT * FROM mytable INNER JOIN (SELECT MAX(id) AS id FROM mytable GROUP BY val) USING (id);

The 'GROUP BY' gives you the distinct values; the MAX(id) gives you the IDs of the latest records containing those distinct values, so the JOIN just gives you those latest records
