Hello

I have been using SQL for a number of years, but I am struggling with an intermediate query. I want a record to be displayed as below

1 	Ademola Adebayo 	4 	Women @ West Street 	Member
2 	Christine Adebayo 	4 	Women @ West Street 	Leader

when I run the following query

select `mu`.`id` AS `id`,`mu`.`firstname` AS `firstname`,`mu`.`lastname` AS `lastname`,`mu`.`memberTypeID` AS `memberTypeId`,`mm`.`name` AS `MinistryName`,`mmr`.`name` AS `RoleName` from (((`members_users` `mu` left join `members_ministryParticipant` `mmp` on((`mu`.`id` = `mmp`.`membersID`))) left join `members_Ministry` `mm` on((`mm`.`id` = `mmp`.`ministryID`))) left join `members_Ministry_Role` `mmr` on((`mmr`.`id` = `mmp`.`roleID`))) where (`mu`.`memberTypeID` > 1) and mm.name = 'Women @ West Street '
union
select `mu`.`id` AS `id`,`mu`.`firstname` AS `firstname`,`mu`.`lastname` AS `lastname`,`mu`.`memberTypeID` AS `memberTypeId`,`mm`.`name` AS `MinistryName`,`mmr`.`name` AS `RoleName` from (((`members_users` `mu` left join `members_ministryParticipant` `mmp` on((`mu`.`id` = `mmp`.`membersID`))) left join `members_Ministry` `mm` on((`mm`.`id` = `mmp`.`ministryID`))) left join `members_Ministry_Role` `mmr` on((`mmr`.`id` = `mmp`.`roleID`))) where (`mu`.`memberTypeID` > 1)
and mm.name = 'Women @ West Street' or mu.id in (select `mu`.`id` AS `id` from (((`members_users` `mu` left join `members_ministryParticipant` `mmp` on((`mu`.`id` = `mmp`.`membersID`))) left join `members_Ministry` `mm` on((`mm`.`id` = `mmp`.`ministryID`))) left join `members_Ministry_Role` `mmr` on((`mmr`.`id` = `mmp`.`roleID`))))

But what the above query returns is this

1 	Ademola Adebayo 	4 	Women @ West Street 	Member
1 	Ademola Adebayo 	4 	Mothers and Toddlers 	Member
2 	Christine Adebayo 	4 	Women @ West Street 	Leader

Please can any one tell me how to eliminate the second row?

Current Result from query

SELECT * FROM vwMembersMinistryDetails where MinistryName = 'Mothers and Toddlers'
union
SELECT * FROM vwMembersMinistryDetails

id firstname CRBChecked lastname memberTypeId MinistryName RoleName

1 Ademola 0 Adebayo 4 Women @ West Street Member
2 Ademola 0 Adebayo 4 Mothers and Toddlers Member
2 Christine 1 Adebayo 4 NULL NULL

Your query makes no sense, since it is an union of a set and a subset of this set.
This query will always return the whole set - the entire view.
The desired result makes no sense, either. What are the selection criteria so that user 1 (Ademole Adebayo) shall be listed with "Women @ West St.", but not with "Mothers and Toddlers"? This user has two roles in different ministries and is therefore listed twice. If she was to be listed only once, why with "Women @ West St." and not with "Mothers and Toddlers"?
Thanks a lot for submitting a complete test case right away.

What I need the query for is that when I go into a ministry, show me the list of all members (members_users) both who have a role in this ministry (Mothers and Toddlers) and those who have no role in this Ministry. But do not display records of members more than once. Sorry, I made a mistake in my desired result. My desired result is

id firstname CRBChecked lastname memberTypeId MinistryName RoleName 
1 Ademola 0 Adebayo 4 Mothers and Toddlers 
2 Christine 1 Adebayo 4 NULL NULL

So what you want is that user 1 (Ademole Adebayo) appears only once, but once for each ministry, which means twice. So you want user 1 to be displayed exactly once and exactly twice in the same query, which is impossible.
Maybe you would be happier using the group_concat function, with which you could group the result by user-ids and concatenate their memberships in a result field, like in

select id,firstname,lastname,group_concat(ministryname) from vwMembersMinistryDetails group by id
commented: Very good suggestion. +1

Thanks very much, it worked
