Missing Results returned in SQL??

Recommended Posts

I am having the most bizarre situation when I am trying to use DISTINCT or GROUP BY in a SQL query.

 

I have several suburbs in my table. Some of them repeat, and I am trying to display them in a list box. No problem...

 

I use

 

$result= MYSQL_QUERY(\"SELECT * FROM renovator);

 

and I get everything I need, but of course there are repeated values.

 

so...

 

$result= MYSQL_QUERY(\"SELECT DISTINCT suburb FROM renovator WHERE region = \'$region\' ORDER BY suburb ASC\");

 

great... works a treat, but there is a value(suburb) missing. No matter what I do, I cannot get all the values to show up.

 

AND...

 

$result= MYSQL_QUERY(\"SELECT DISTINCT suburb FROM renovator WHERE region = \'$region\'\");

 

returns a different set of values... with the suburb I needed present, but now a different suburb missing??

 

I have no idea what is going on.

 

PLEASE HELP!!! :cry:
