I have a table stored customers' enrollment number and all other customers information (name, address...). Usually, husband and wife have the same enrollment number, which means the one enrollment number can display twice in the table. Now, I need a program to display only primary customer's infomation, which means each enrollment number only display once, the 2nd person's information will not display. How to do this?

Will SELECT DISTINCT work? If you have a primary indicator on the table, you could use that. That would be quicker than the distinct (a lot quicker).

Select DISTINCT doesn't work because I need select not only one column.
