I have a db of Contacts - it's real simple, NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, ST, ZIP, etc...
I CAN DO
SELECT ST
FROM TABLE
and I get all of the ST from every record.
When I try
SELECT DISTINCT ST
FROM TABLE
it displays what looks like a complete listing of DISTINCT CITY values
but it is UNDER THE COLUMN HEADING 'ST'
It's like the values next to ST (CITY) has replaced the desired query for some reason,
any suggestions?
thx

Quick questions,
a. can you post the ddl for the table
b. what do you get from the following query
SELECT
T.ST
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY T.ST ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS ST_RID
FROM [schema].

Running the T-SQL you gave, I got 2 columns entitled ST and SR_RID
under ST there seems to be a mix of cities combined with the standard 2 letter postal abbrev for states , i.e. FL, GE MN, ETC...
Some of the records even returned Addresses under the ST Column, in addition to some having the City, as opposed to state info.
If somehow how I imported this wrong and the data was placed in the the wrong columns in some fields, I could understand, but doing SELECT *, I can view all the records and the ST Column shows only the 2 Ltr Postal Abbrevs. So ????
I apologize, I did not understand what you meant by my 'ddl'.
Thanks
