Part of the problem is that you put tried to line up your data sample using spaces which normal HTML strips. However, I have re-posted your example using CODE tags to straighten it out a bit.

name group score
collection point 1 4
-------------- 5 5
collection point 2 6 6


This formatting problem is one reason that we so often request people give us their DDL (CREATE TABLE) statements and DML (INSERT) statements so we can easily re-create it on our own systems. And since you haven't provided a SELECT statement either, I'm really taking a stab in the dark here. I'm guessing that you are getting a result set where "collection point" is repeated for multiple rows, and then "collection point 2" is repeated for multiple rows, etc. And you want to display it with blank space in place of the repeated data.

And the answer is that this really is a front-end display feature and not a database querying feature. I would create the code in the front-end to suppress repeated values and not worry about the database.
