how to use DISTINCT here in my query CODEIGNITER

Question

$q = $this->db->select(\'
             books.title,
             reserved_books.id,
             reserved_books.isbn, 
             reserved_books.price,
              


        

Answer 1

Try Below:

$this->db->distinct();

but Distinct will not always work. You should add ->group_by("name_of_the_column_which_needs_to_be unique");

$this->db->group_by('column_name');
