I need to add an item manually to the results of a select distinct statement. My statement is:
select distinct Region from mytable order by Region
This returns:
East
North
South
West
I need to return:
Select a region
East
North
South
West
This is populating a drop down on a web site and I want "Select a region" as the first item before the regions appear
TIA
Bill

select ' Select a region' as Region
union all
select distinct Region from mytable order by Region

Have a look: there is a space to get the ' Select a region' in top position...
