Right now I have some Tests (tests table)say T1,T2,T3 whose requirements are say R1(requirements table) which exists in all tests T1,T2,T3. Both these tables are joined by test id to reqt id
T1 - R1
T2 - R1
T3 - R1
Since same requirement exists in all tests which is duplication of data,I now need to keep only one test(either T1 or T2 or T3) with reqt R1.

Can you tell me how do I query to eliminate this duplication?"

you can either use the DISTINCT keyword here or UNION the results.
