Retrieving Distinct Rows
Note that the SELECT statement returns all rows in a given column. Nevertheless, what if we don't need all the values from a column (because they can be duplicated), and we only need unique values? For such cases, it is convenient to use the keyword DISTINCT. Moreover, this keyword is used immediately before the column names. Let's look at an example.
SELECT DISTINCT region FROM country;
Task
You have to retrieve distinct (unique) continent
values.
