Distinct in SQL Server

Question

I am executing the following query,

Select distinct
  a.cr_id,
  Case 
    When ca.ca_vote = \'Approve\' and ca.ca_title=\'MANAGER\' Then ca.ca_email
    Whe         


        

Answer 1

Distinct is applied to all columns, not the one which is immediately after Distinct.

If you have several different ca_email for a cr_id, you will see them all.

If you don't want that, you have to come up with a rule to decide what record among the duplicates must stay.
