New to NetSuite | SuiteQL Advanced Queries: DISTINCT

In New to NetSuite | SuiteQL Overview and New to NetSuite | Understanding SuiteQL Syntax articles, we explored the fundamental concepts, capabilities, and structure of SuiteQL.

SuiteQL Syntax for Advanced Queries goes beyond simple selections and joins to deliver robust, flexible, and analytical queries within database. SuiteQL’s capabilities are similar to standard SQL (with some NetSuite-specific constraints). One of these advanced features is DISTINCT.

The DISTINCT keyword in SuiteQL is used to remove duplicate rows from your query results. This is essential when you want to list each unique value from one or more columns—ideal for de-duplicating lists such as customers who made purchases, unique products sold, or exclusive transaction types.
